Abstract
This paper discusses healthcare as one of the single most important issues of the new millennium and considering the tax burden that managing healthcare costs and services places on the Canadian government, it is imperative that an equitable solution is found. The paper further discusses how the government can accomplish much regarding not only controlling current costs and expenses associated with healthcare costs through affecting new strategies regarding actual billing practices vis-a-vis public versus private clinical services and how payment is made but, can, through strategic application of billing practices, actually manage healthcare costs into the foreseeable future.

Abstract
This paper reviews human geography and discusses how, as a field of study, it examines the relationships that exist between human activities and spatial formations. In other words, human social organization has a demonstrable effect on the world around us. Agriculture, for example, reshapes the land in the interest of planting certain kinds of crops--topography is changed, rivers are drained. The paper further discusses how this is only one example of this process and that human activity will have effects on geographic formations and developments.

The Establishment of the Bank of Canada, 2006.
The history of the establishment of the Bank of Canada.
3,375 words (approx. 13.5 pages), 7 sources, $ 133.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the history of the Bank of Canada, established in 1935 for a variety of pressing economic and political reasons, but the economic turmoil caused by the Great Depression was perhaps the most important factor. The Bank was established relatively late in Canada's history because of little popular support among Canadians for a central bank, especially in Western Canada. The paper further discusses how during the the first fifty years of Confederation, Canadians had shown little interest in establishing a central bank. The remarkable economic expansion between 1900 and 1913 had spread general prosperity and most Canadians considered the current banking system sufficient even though economic experts were concerned about the inflexibility of that system.

Abstract
This paper discusses the idea that Canada is a nation saddled with an identity crisis. The paper reports how some believe that Canada can rest uneasily on the upper border of the world's most powerful and successful country; and has a British legacy in our parliamentary system that both reflects our ancient heritage and reinforces the notion that the most fundamental parts of ourselves came not from Canada but were imported from elsewhere.

Broadband Rights in Canada, 2006.
A discussion regarding broadband access as a civil right in Canada.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 8 sources, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how although providing ubiquitous broadband access to all Canadian communities has been a pet project of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) since at least 2001, independent analysis does not support the viability of the prospect. The paper further discusses how the liberal government began stressing the issue in that year under the banner of making Canada the most wired nation in the world at the forefront of advances in the telecommunication industry (Grace, 2001). However, the potential for successfully achieving such a goal is limited.

»

Abstract
This paper discusses how Canada has put in place several legislative devices in an attempt to ensure that women do not suffer discrimination. There has also been a growing recognition that discriminating against women in the labour market is unfair and should not be tolerated. This paper shows how although considerable gains have been made, women have not yet achieved equality in the Canadian labour market and that this, in fact, reflects a lingering and pervasive inequality of the sexes within Canadian society.

Canadian Urban Political Geography, 2006.
An evaluation of the Daily Bread Food Bank (NGO) in the city of Toronto.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 2 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the Daily Bread Food Bank is a NGO that provides a wide variety of resource for the hungry, since they do not merely focus on food delivery and distribution. The sense of public awareness they generate helps the poor to be treated fairly, outside of the limited attention the Canadian government has given to the issue. The paper further discusses how in this manner, the DFDB helps the poor find food, creates public awareness, and generate private sector interest in helping the poor.
From the Paper
"This urban political geographic study will evaluate the Daily Bread Food Bank (DBFB) of Toronto. By presenting the mission statement from the website, one can realize that the aims of the DBFB are providing a large-scale distribution of food to many smaller food banks that exist within the city. In this manner, DBMB provides an umbrella NGO that helps to coordinate food donations, deliveries, and public awareness to those that are hungry or are destitute in the Toronto area. The reliance on food banks in Canada is one major reason that Daily Bread Food Bank has become such a large organization. "

The 2005-2006 Canadian Federal Election, 2006.
A critical analysis of the 2005/2006 Canadian federal election.
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 6 sources, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyses the 2005-2006 Canadian federal election in which the Conservative Party under Stephen Harper won a minority government by defeating the Liberal Party under Prime Minister Paul Martin, which had itself won a minority government just over a year before. The paper discusses how the lack of an overwhelming majority victory by any single political party in these elections means that the structure of the Canadian electoral system has a particularly significant impact upon the determination of which party will form the government and, perhaps more importantly, what policies will be implemented by that party.

The Changing Political Landscape in Ontario, 2006.
A discussion regarding the change of Ontario's political face.
2,025 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 4 sources, $ 80.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the changing political landscape in Ontario, arguing that the increased instability in Provincial Politics is caused by three specific reasons. The paper then expands on this idea and lists the three reasons as being the inability to keep promises, the image of policy and the move toward neo-liberalism.
From the Paper
" Stability would seem to be the best word to describe party politics and governmental structure in Ontario for many decades. From the time of confederation (1867) to 1985 elected parties could expect to be re-elected at least once if not numerous times. For example, the Liberal Party of Ontario governed Ontario from 1871-1905 (34 years) and from 1934 to 1943(9 years). Likewise, the Progressive Conservative governed Ontario from 1943 to 1985 (42 years). However, in 1985 the period of stability ended. 1985 saw two consecutive governments formed in a single year. "

The Enigma of Chronos, 2006.
A discussion regarding the theory and function of time.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 1 source, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the myriad of uses that time has. Time can be seen as functional, foundational, social and artistic. The paper further discusses how "Time as a Human Resource" is a compilation of studies that arose from a conference that took place at the University of Saskatchewan, and examines these concepts of time. The in-depth discussions are interesting, but despite the level of intellectual involvement the conference seemed to come to few new conclusions. Some of the earliest concepts of time as we now know it derive from Greek myth and philosophy, identifying with the view of time as cyclical.

Technology in Education, 2006.
A look at how the computer has become a vital tool in education and how its use has affected classrooms in Canada.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 5 sources, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper considers the effect technology has had on the classroom in the schools in Canada, noting that education is one of the areas where new technology is often used as teachers and administrators find ways to incorporate new devices into the curriculum. Such an adaptation is natural, for education has to make use of all the useful tools that can be found. In addition, accustoming young people to use the resources and technology of their time is part of the educational experience itself.

Hudson's Bay Company's Success, 2006.
Explores the factors that allowed the Hudson's Bay Company to outlive its competitors by examining what this company had that other fur-trading operations - chiefly the Northwest Company - did not have.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 7 sources, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines why the Hudson's Bay Company was able to survive and thrive when other fur trading companies, principally the Northwest Company, which was forced to merge with the HBC, were unable to repeat this success. The paper argues that a combination of territorial over reach by the Northwest Company and the traditional advantages of the HBC's Charter eventually proved too much for the smaller company to overcome.
From the Paper
"For well over three hundred years, the Hudson's Bay Company has been (or at least was until an American entrepreneur took it over) an enduring icon within the Canadian business world. However, while the company is better known today as a retailer, it began first as a fur-trading company - one so successful that it eventually banished all other competitors."

Racial Discrimination in Ontario Schools, 2006.
A discussion of the lasting effects that the marginalization of black students in Ontario schools will have on that student population.
2,925 words (approx. 11.7 pages), 20 sources, $ 115.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the marginalization of black students on Ontario schools, noting that this will have an effect far beyond the classroom, leaving many students unprepared to cope with the working world they will be part of in a few years. Such separation affects the child's ability to learn, damages his or her self-esteem, and creates a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure. Efforts have been made to reduce the degree of marginalization for precisely these reasons, and the more minority children can be included and made to feel part of the class, the better they will do.
From the Paper
"Race and racial discrimination can be problems in society, affecting social services, employment, and the legal system. Race is a special sort of problem in education, for it is through education that racial and ethnic groups escape the cycle of poverty that affects so many and so can reduce the effects of discrimination and in time eliminate the discrimination altogether."
