Abstract
The Canadian agricultural industry has lobbied the Canadian federal and provincial governments for a number of years for greater attention upon the needs of this industry. However, while all industries and their stakeholders lobby governments for assistance in various respects, the agricultural industry is unique for both the highly public nature of its lobbying and the consistency of issues upon which this sector is focused. This paper explains that the agricultural industry is one of the most significant industries in Canada and then discusses the Canadian agricultural industry's lobbying efforts.

Canadian Multiculturalism and 'The Jade Peony', 2006.
This paper discusses Wayson Choy's novel, "The Jade Peony" and how it reflects the racism in Canadian society rather than the multiculturalism the government tries to encourage.

Abstract
Canada prides itself on being a tolerant, multicultural nation--a nation in which differences and diversity are seen as assets, not as problems. This image is in contrast to the American ideal, where the USA is seen as a giant melting pot, in which diversity will be subsumed into a common American identity. However, how accurate is this image of Canada? This essay assesses how successful Canada has been at achieving an inclusive, non-discriminatory form of multiculturalism, which values diversity. The paper also uses Wayson Choy's novel, "The Jade Peony", about the Chinese experience in Vancouver, as a backdrop to the discussion.
From the Paper
"In fact, Canada is a country in which there are complex layers of racism, reflecting the complexity of a society made up of so many different immigrant cultures. This can clearly be seen in Wayson Choy's The Jade Peony, a novel which reflects the Chinese experience in Vancouver. Canada is the only country in the world with an official policy of multiculturalism."

Criminal Justice: Racial Profiling and Toronto, 2006.
Explores the controversial topic of racial profiling and, specifically, how the Toronto Police Department engages in this practice.

Abstract
With the unmistakable emergence of global terrorism in the last half decade the controversial topic of racial profiling has become more and more unavoidable. With that in mind, this paper explores the topic by looking at what racial profiling is and why it is such an important topic of discussion. Proceeding onward the paper looks at the major areas of research which cannot be passed over when examining this issue. For example, the paper looks at the fact that the Toronto Police Department regularly engages in racial profiling when dealing with African-Canadians; armed with this disquieting fact, the paper pores over the literature that is available from 2000 onwards.

'Diamond Grill' and 'Fronteras Americanas', 2006.
This paper discusses the use of stereotypes in Fred Wah's "Diamond Grill" and Guillermo Verdecchia's Fronteras Americanas".

Abstract
This paper analyzes the works of two Canadian writers: Guillermo Verdecchia and Fred Wah. More specifically, through an analysis of Verdecchia's "Fronteras Americanas" and Wah's "Diamond Grill", the paper looks at how the works of both authors reveal a special interest in matters relating to race and culture.
From the Paper
"Verdecchia was born in Latin America, but raised in Canada. The stresses that he underwent due to being a member of a visible minority group are reflected in his work. One of the most obvious ways that they are reflected is in the way Verdecchia uses and plays with stereotypes in his plays. Wah, on the other hand, was born and raised in Canada."

Abstract
This paper presents a review of the existing research literature upon teaching and learning processes for writing and reading. The paper explains that this literature suggests complexities that are not addressed in Ontario ministry curriculum requirements in these areas. More specifically, the paper maintains that the literature highlights the fact that these processes are not only highly individual but that they also are shaped by learning processes across a continuum along which students move back and forth as they incorporate new learning into their knowledge bases.

Michael Adams' "Fire and Ice", 2006.
A critical review of Michael Adams' book "Fire and Ice".
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 4 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Michael Adams, president of the Canadian polling research company Environics, argues in his book, "Fire and Ice" that, contrary to the views of many prominent media and political commentators in Canada, "Canadians and Americans are markedly different, and are becoming more so". This review critically examines Adams' text and, with reference to a number of other sources on this topic, argues the thesis that Adams is not only accurate in this assessment but all signs point to an increasing dissimilarity between Canadian and American societies and cultures.

Abstract
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health related states or events in specified populations and the application of this study to control of health problems. Certain populations in Canada and around the globe are at high risk for tuberculosis (TB) including aboriginal peoples, foreign born residents from countries with a high prevalence of TB, disadvantaged inner city populations and those with HIV infection. This paper focuses on these groups, and in particular the aboriginal peoples and HIV positive people, and the problem of TB amongst these populations.

Media, Policy and Cultural Identity in Canada, 2006.
A look at the measures undertaken by the Canadian government in order to maintain and promote a unique Canadian cultural identity.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 5 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Canadian cultural identity is the degree to which government policy and free enterprise economic principles converge and frequently collide in the field of the mass media. In large measure this is a consequence of Canada's geographic position next door to the world's last remaining superpower and predominant popular culture engine, the United States. This paper explores how the Canadian government, in order to maintain cultural distinctiveness in terms of national identity, has adopted a range of policies that promote the Canadian identity in the mass media and restrict the reach of foreign media and foreign media ownership.

The Canadian Airline Industry, 2006.
An essay examining the Canadian airline industry and the role that the Canadian government should be playing in that industry.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 4 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay examines a number of issues regarding the complex interactions of government and market with respect to the Canadian airline industry. Beginning with a brief outline of the respective roles of government and market in economic theory, the paper argues that the Canadian government has an important role to play in the Canadian airline market with regard to promoting competition.
From the Paper
"The Canadian airline industry may be seen as an example of an industry in which the roles of government and the market are not only complex and highly integrated, but also highly controversial as well. In large measure, this is due to the limited size of the Canadian domestic airline market, and the public demand for geographical coverage spanning a continent. This mixture of political forces with market forces is further complicated, in the Canadian context, by the issue of Canadian nationalism which manifests itself in the market in barriers to investment by foreign capital in the Canadian airline industry."

Wage Disparities in Canada, 2006.
An overview of the problem of wage disparity in Canada, the depth of the problem and the consequences of not dealing with it.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 2 sources, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the problem of wage disparity across Canada, which has long been a concern not only of the general population but also of the various federal government administrations throughout the years, as well as the provincial governments. The paper explains that a genuine concern of government bodies and researchers alike is that of ensuring not necessarily wage parity across professions, but of ensuring livable wages across all demographics. The paper maintains that discussing and properly framing the wage disparity issues for Canadians is important because the consequences of not addressing this issue are enormous and, ultimately, far more costly to ignore than to repair.

Return to Work Legislation: Impacts on the Workplace, 2006.
An essay addressing various questions about Ontario's Return to Work Act.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 2 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This brief essay addresses the following questions in regards to the Return to Work Legislation in Ontario, specifically Sections 40-43. What does the legislation say? Give an opinion on employer behavior with respect to return to work of the employee. How does it affect the workplace? The over arching theme is that human resources have not been properly dealt with in times of worker injury.
From the Paper
"The legislation, sections 40 - 43, is focused on clearly defining the responsibilities of the employer, the actions the employer must take, the process that is to be followed in addition to reporting to Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) during the period between the times an employee is injured and returns to work ("Workplace Safety and Insurance Act..."). The legislation takes precedence over all collective agreements and clearly defines when an employer must comply based on the classification of worker and emphasizes both the aspects of "safe" and "early" return of a worker ("Workplace Safety and Insurance Act...," Section 40)."

Canadian Studies 390: Short Essay on Hockey, 2006.
A look at how Canadian national identity is so closely associated with the national sport of hockey.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 0 sources, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how hockey, arguably Canada's most popular sport, is so engrained in Canadian culture that Canadian identification with it begins at an early age. The paper points out how, along with Richard Gruneau and David Whitson, the authors of "Hockey Night in Canada: Sports Identities and Cultural Politics", Canadian youth over the decades have grown up with a fairly stylized and masculine ideal of the sport and its place in Canadian society.

Nationalism in Canada, 2006.
This paper maintains that the diversity of Canada does not stand in the way of a national identity.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how Canada is a country that may be seen either as rich in diversity, or as challenged by diversity. Whatever one's take, the paper contends that the truth is that the country is as diverse as it is large. In this essay, it is argued that although this results in intense challenges to Canada's existence as a single, unified nation, it nevertheless remains true that Canada is a viable nation-building project. The paper maintains that despite diversity and despite various claims to distinctness, Canada maintains its integrity as a single, unified nation, with a discernible national identity that is unlike any other.

»

Abstract
The paper explores the situation which confronts aboriginals in Canada in the early years of the twenty-first century. Particularly, the paper provides a brief profile and/or portrait of Canadian aboriginals during the present age, as well as offering a critical assessment of Bone's aboriginal/non-aboriginal fault line. Moving forward, the paper also offers a critical commentary on aboriginal land claims and ponders their importance to the future status of aboriginal peoples in Canada. The paper concludes that Canada's modest aboriginal population faces a number of challenges, but the land claims process may also provide it with a number of opportunities otherwise unavailable.

Abstract
The paper examines how Vancouver and Calgary are two of Canada's most prominent cities that are both said by many prognosticators to be experiencing a bubble in the real estate market. However, the paper explains that despite advantageous factors prominent in both regions, it appears that Calgary has the most promising housing market prospects at the moment and in the foreseeable future, owing primarily to its robust economy and housing-market focus.

»

Abstract
The paper presents a book review of the book "Reluctant Host" by David B. Avery. Avery's major argument is that Canadian immigration policy has and currently is based on self-interest. The paper explains how Canada's immigration policies have never been constant. Different ethnic and racial groups have been accepted, rejected or exploited depending on a range of social, economic and political factors.

Gender Relations, 2006.
This paper maintains that a gender analysis is complex and thus one has to consider other variables besides gender.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 2 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the declaration by Nancy Bonvillain that "gender relations can be characterized on a continuum from full equality to the complete domination of members of one gender by members of another...[and] may include economic, social, political and religious activities." The paper examines how this serves as a reminder of the complexity of conducting gender analysis in different contexts. This essay argues, with reference to several case studies on representations of women in early Canadian writing, that gender analysis must necessarily consider the existence of both the observer and the subject along a continuum that incorporates a recognition not only of gender, but also of variables of race, class, politics and religion.

Racism in Canada, 2006.
This paper discusses whether racism exists in Canada and if one should be bothered by it.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 1 source, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
A critical analysis of the assertion that; "Racism does not exist in Canada and that as I am not racist nor have experienced racism, it is not something I should be concerned with" would reveal this assertion to be fundamentally erroneous on a number of levels. This essay argues that racism is far more complex and subtle in its operations than this assertion suggests and that it is pervasive in Canadian institutions and societies.

Canadian Public Service, 2006.
This paper examines public service administration and governance models.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 6 sources, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses public service administration in Canada. The two models that are examined are new public management and the emerging governance model. It is argued at the end of the paper that new public management works better for Canada. The paper explains that this is because it needs a strong centralized government.
From the Paper
"Public service administration systems have been changing on a fundamental level. While public service administration and governance in most countries was seen in a relatively straight forward way, new models of governance and public service administration have been developing. These models tend to look at public service administration and governance in more complex and inclusive ways. For example, in "Public Service Ethics in a Changing World" Alan Lawton states; The domains of the private corporation and of public service are merging in western democracies. Increasingly the so-called public sector is becoming more business-like, with the introduction of competition, output measures and corporate management styles.""
