Abstract
For many Torontonians few things are as vexing as the ongoing debate surrounding the restoration of Toronto's much maligned waterfront. This paper examines the most pressing issues driving the Toronto waterfront debate and explores, where possible, the origins of these issues and where they appear headed. In the process of so doing it is hoped that this paper will illuminate the stark reality that the imperatives of the situation fairly demand that past hard feelings and acrimony should no longer be used as an excuse for failing to act.

Abstract
This paper examines the dramatic restructuring and downsizing initiative currently gripping Ford Canada. The paper looks at the factors which made such moves inevitable, and also examines what the company is doing to both soften the impact of downsizing upon its employees and what it is doing to see to it that this sort of downsizing leads to greater success in the future. In the end, while the challenges facing Ford of Canada are considerable (and not things which can be rectified via quick fixes), this writer believes that cautious optimism about Ford's future in Canada is well-warranted.

This paper discusses the book "Hockey Night in Canada", by Richard Gruneau and David Whitson and the message it conveys about the Canadian cultural and national identity.

Abstract
This paper addresses the question of whether the Canadian Prime Minister has too much power, and whether the Canadian government should move to a system like that found in the US. The paper offers a brief description of what limits the powers of the Prime Minister and shows that the prime minister is limited very little by formal constraints and ineffectively by informal constraints. It is concluded that the Canadian PM does have too much power and that a US-type system might be favorable. A third way is also suggested but not argued for strenuously.

Abstract
Canada is a unique society. Its population is made up of many diverse people, who live together under a common legal system. At the same time, Canada is the only country in the world with an official policy of multiculturalism. This reflects a desire to accommodate and respect diversity. Yet, is it really possible to at the same time have a common legal system, and also accommodate diversity? This paper discusses the contradictions and problems inherent in this situation that were highlighted by the recent controversy over the introduction of Islamic Sharia, or religious, law in Toronto.

Abstract
This paper examines the monetary policy of the Bank of Canada (BoC), explaining that it clearly believes in the importance of integrating and managing the Canadian economy vis-a-vis its integrated relationship with the global economic framework. The paper explains that the BoC's policy towards economic and currency management is centered on balancing its internal economic attributes; i.e. inflation, with those of its externally related economic functions; i.e. its exchange rate. The BoC has identified energy, and specifically petroleum, as central to both internal and external economic health and discusses its role in this regard at length.

Abstract
Medical malpractice is a topic which has gained considerable attention in recent years. This paper briefly reviews a recent case in which doctors at a large chain of methadone clinics in Ontario billed OHIP for medical tests that were described as excessive and were rarely used for the care of methadone patients. This paper provides the facts of the case and identifies the legal issues at stake. The paper also applies an analysis of the legal issues raised and offers a brief discussion of how the case should be decided. In the final analysis, although the facts of the case would seem to lend themselves to a fairly summary disposition of the matter, things are actually a little more complex than they might at first appear.

A Universal Broadband Service Policy, 2006.
A paper arguing that every Canadian should have access to a high speed Internet connection and that the government should make the phone and cable companies responsible for offering a basic Internet plan that is affordable by everyone.

Abstract
There can be little question that Canadians now live and work in an information age. Even more indisputably, small businesses and independent professionals who lack ready access to broadband computer services are missing out on the kind of instantaneous electronic transfer of information that is crucial for success, if not survival in the new global marketplace. With these realities uppermost in mind, this paper argues that every Canadian so far as possible should have access to a high speed Internet connection. The writer of the paper also argues that local phone and cable companies should be expected by the Canadian government to offer a basic plan that almost every Canadian can afford.

Abstract
This paper looks at the emotional and cultural significance of the Stanley Cup in Canadian culture. The paper discusses the history of the Cup, as well its impact on local community and nationalism as evidenced by rioting and suicide reduction. Some of the reasons the paper suggests for this extreme significance are a quasi-religious attachment to sports in general and the socially significant role of sports as "ceremonial occasions.
From the Paper
"Winning is arguably the goal of any sport, but with some sporting events, whether you're playing or watching from the stands or your living room, there is so much more going on. If it's your favorite team, the underdog of the season you've been rooting for all along, or the Big Game of the season, sometimes that one game can be exhilarating or devastating beyond all others. This is especially the case when it's a championship game such as the Superbowl, World Series, or, as will be further discussed, the Stanley Cup."

Canadian Film Industry, 2006.
A review of the independent Canadian film industry.
5,625 words (approx. 22.5 pages), 10 sources, $ 223.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the Canadian film industry, one that is said to be a composite of three different unique bodies that have combined to create a dynamic film environment; albeit not a uniquely Canadian one. The paper goes on to discuss how while the indigenous Canadian film industry is still extant it might be described as moribund at best. If not for governmental support for the indigenous film industry, independent Canadian film making might already be extinct. The Canadian film industry is relatively healthy overall but the figures indicate strictly indigenous Canadian films, outside of one or two major production houses, may suffer revenue and market difficulties in the years ahead.

Abstract
This paper discusses the idea that older women of the future will be better off than the women of today.

However it seems clear that these changes will never be fully comprehensive.

A review of the history of women's rights in Canada,

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how prior to World War I, the traditional Canadian view of women wasn't much different than what it had been in most of the patriarchal world since time immemorial. Attitudes to changes in the political and social status of women were typically fearful and conservative, with women being regarded as inferior, even as 'non-persons'. It took many long years of struggle before old ideas were overthrown, and women were accepted as 'persons' in the public realm, but the issues were eventually resolved peacefully.

Abstract
This paper reviews the topic of interest and inflation, looking at the bank of Canada as an institution, the fisher model and overnight interest rates.
From the Paper
"The Bank of Canada Canada's monetary policy is determined by a Central bank known as the Bank of Canada. The Bank of Canada is a partially independent institution that is responsible for controlling the money supply in Canada (Mankiw and Scarth 171). The Bank of Canada's day to day operations are controlled by the Governor of the Bank of Canada. However, ultimate control of Canada's monetary policy is determined by the federal cabinet. In essence the Finance Minister collaborates with the Governor of the Bank of Canada. The Finance Minster relays the government's wishes to the Governor of the Bank of Canada."
