“A loyal friend”

A birthday celebration isn’t a birthday celebration though guests. And when they are quite good friends, even geographical stretch can’t stop them celebrating together. “What unites us is larger than a sea that separates us”: These were a difference of a German Ambassador to Canada, Werner Wnendt, in a corner nod with a heads of a Goethe Institutes in Toronto and Montréal imprinting a “Germany @ Canada 2017” array of events. With it, a German Embassy and a Goethe Institutes, together with additional partners, are concomitant a celebrations imprinting Canada’s 150^th “birthday”. On 1 Jul 1867, a former British colonies of Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia were recognized as a “Dominion of Canada” and an eccentric nation. 

Cooperation with a earnest future 

“Germany @ Canada 2017” also shows a clever border to that a past and benefaction in German-Canadian family are interconnected. Thus a muster “Canada and Germany: Partners from Immigration to Innovation” in a series of cities forges a couple from a centuries-long story of German immigration to Canada to German-Canadian investigate projects with a earnest future. As early as 1971, Germany and Canada sealed an intergovernmental agreement on systematic and technological collaboration; stream focuses include, for instance, Arctic investigate and a tolerable use of healthy resources.

Conferences are designed on such different topics as 500 years of a Reformation and a destiny of appetite use.

Germany and Canada are related usually as most by their corner onslaught opposite meridian change as by their tighten team-work in a G7 and G20 forums and within NATO. In attention too, and with a perspective to moulding a worldly emigration policy, different ties exist between a dual countries. As Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emphasised on his revisit in Feb 2017, Germany is “not usually a tighten ally, though a loyal friend.”
