National Social Christian Party
The National Unity Party of Canada (NUPC), PUNC was a Canadian far-right political party which based its ideology on Adolf Hitler's Nazism and Benito Mussolini's fascism. It was founded as the (PNSC) by Nazi sympathizer Adrien Arcand on February 22, 1934. The party's activities were originally limited to Quebec, but it later expanded to Ontario and Western Canada. Party membership swelled in the mid-to-late 1930s as the party absorbed smaller fascist groups across the country. Following the outbreak of World War II, the Canadian government banned the NUPC on May 30, 1940, under the ''Defence of Canada Regulations'' of the ''War Measures Act''. Arcand and many of his followers were consequently arrested and interned for the duration of the war. The ban on the NUPC was lifted following the war's end in 1945, and the party resumed its activities shortly afterwards.

War Measures Act
The ''War Measures Act'' (french: Loi sur les mesures de guerre; 5 George V, Chap. 2) was a statute of the Parliament of Canada that provided for the declaration of war, invasion, or insurrection, and the types of emergency measures that could thereby be taken. The Act was brought into force three times in Canadian history: during the First World War, Second World War, and the 1970 October Crisis.

In 1988, it was repealed and replaced by the ''Emergencies Act''.

Canadian Prairies
The Canadian Prairies (usually referred to as simply the Prairies in Canada) is a region in Western Canada. It includes the Canadian portion of the Great Plains and the Prairie Provinces, namely Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. These provinces are partially covered by grasslands, plains, and lowlands, mostly in the southern regions. The northernmost reaches of the Canadian Prairies are less dense in population, marked by forests and more variable topography. If the region is defined to include areas only covered by prairie land, the corresponding region is known as the Interior Plains. Physical or ecological aspects of the Canadian Prairies extend to northeastern British Columbia, but that area is not included in political use of the term. The prairies in Canada are a temperate grassland and shrubland biome within the prairie ecoregion of Canada that consists of northern mixed grasslands in Alberta, Saskatchewan, southern Manitoba, as well as northern short grasslands in sou ...

Liberal Democracy
Liberal democracy is the combination of a liberal political ideology that operates under an indirect democratic form of government. It is characterized by elections between multiple distinct political parties, a separation of powers into different branches of government, the rule of law in everyday life as part of an open society, a market economy with private property, and the equal protection of human rights, civil rights, civil liberties and political freedoms for all people. To define the system in practice, liberal democracies often draw upon a constitution, either codified (such as in the United States) or uncodified (such as in the United Kingdom), to delineate the powers of government and enshrine the social contract. After a period of expansion in the second half of the 20th century, liberal democracy became a prevalent political system in the world.Anna Lührmann, Seraphine F.

Insignes De Grades Du Parti National Social Chrétien
The taxonomy of ''Nepenthes'' has been revised several times during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Nineteenth century The first subgeneric division of the ''Nepenthes'' was made by Joseph Dalton Hooker in his 1873 monograph, " Nepenthaceae". Hooker distinguished '' N. pervillei'' from all other taxa based on its seeds, which lack the appendages typical of most ''Nepenthes''. He placed it in the monotypic section ''Anourosperma''. All other species were subsumed in the second section, ''Eunepenthes''. A second attempt to establish a natural subdivision within the genus was made in 1895 by Günther Beck von Mannagetta und Lerchenau in "Die Gattung Nepenthes, Die Gattung ''Nepenthes''". Beck kept the two sections created by Hooker, but divided ''Eunepenthes'' into three subgroups: ''Apruinosae'', ''Pruinosae'', and ''Retiferae''. Twentieth century ''Nepenthes'' taxonomy was once again revised in 1908 by John Muirhead Macfarlane in his own monograph. Oddly, Macfarlane ...
