My mom is a politician, and I tend to follow in her footsteps which means I have a strong passion for politics myself. The signs seen in the image above were used in the 2020 Federal election that had just taken place on September 20th and on them is my mothers name. Throughout this campaign my mother and I had met many new people, many of which are immigrants and migrants. This campaign wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for globalization, whether it be where the materials for the signs came from, or even where the voters themselves came from.
The World Economic Forum defines globalization as “the process by which people and goods move easily across borders.” This really stood out to me for two reasons, the first being that my mom is an immigrant, and the second being the amount of diversity seen in my moms riding. In my moms campaign it was very easy to spot when globalization came into play. Whether it had been the European cars used to go door knocking, the plastics to make the signs, and like I said before the voters foreign backgrounds. Globalization is also closely tied to global awareness. This was seen in the past federal election when former President of the United States Barrack Obama was seen giving his support to Justin Trudeau.
Even people like Donald Trump say 'The future does not belong to globalists' which is ironic since he has Trump towers in countries such as India Turkey and Uruguay. This just goes to show how globalization is used in our everyday life and is present more than we know. This also goes to show how proud I am of my mother and what she's accomplished, because not every kid can say their mom has run for a Member of Parliament.
Side note: I'm writing this blog about Canadian politics and globalization on an American website?
