Abstract
Racial profiling is a term used to define instances in which one ethnic group is subjected to police surveillance or detention more than any other group in society. The practice occurs when the race of the individual is more significant in causing police action than the suspicion of criminal acts. In instances in which racial profiling has been evident, the cause is generally because assumptions about particular racial groups exist within the police organization. This paper looks at the issue of racial profiling in the city of Toronto and how some organizations contend that racial profiling is a serious issue, which must be addressed while other professionals and community members suggest that racial profiling does not exist, and that the claims that have been made against the Toronto police are without merit.

Abstract
The question of the intersection of law and morality is one that has been the subject of debate among philosophers and jurists for centuries. In this essay the debate between Patrick Devlin and H. L. A .Hart with respect to the relationship between law and morality is explored with reference to R. v. Butler, a decision of the Supreme Court of Canada on the question of obscenity. The paper argues that in the Butler decision the Supreme Court adopted the utilitarian justification - as described by Hart - in its approval of the limitation of the freedom of expression of Donald Butler.

Abstract
This paper discusses how three Supreme Court cases in Canada address "grey areas" in the law, meaning areas in the law where there is some uncertainty whether the specific language of the law refers to an issue. This is called a grey area because the answer is not readily obvious, not black or white. The paper examines such grey areas by examining a case on abortion, a case on stopping motorists, and a case on commercial speech.
From the Paper
"The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, also known as the Constitution Act, 1982, provides certain protections for Canadian citizens and is used to clarify the law on certain issues. However, there are certain grey areas in the law that have to be decided by the Supreme Court, which may use the Charter of Rights and Freedoms for clarification. A grey area occurs when there is some uncertainty whether the specific language of the law refers to an issue, and this is called a grey area because the answer is not readily obvious, not black or white. Several cases illustrate this process."

The Central Bank of Canada, 2006.
A look at the factors that led to the establishment of the Central Bank of Canada in 1935.

Abstract
This paper points out that any of a number of factors can be used to explain the rise of the Bank of Canada in the middle 1930s. The paper then suggests that, even after examining all of the questionable initiatives advanced by the Canadian government and by Canada chartered banks throughout the late 1920s and into the 1930s, it must still be said that excessive cash borrowing and excessive or just plain wrong-headed credit dispensation lay at the heart of the decision to create a central bank that would control and regulate the Canadian banking industry.

Abstract
Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau famously compared US-Canadian relations to being like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered the beast, one is affected by every twitch and grunt. Relations with the giant nation to our south, Canada's biggest trading partner and greatest ally, have certainly not always been smooth. This paper examines US-Canadian relations, with particular attention given to the discord between the Bush administration and the Liberals under Paul Martin. The paper asserts that the discord only demonstrates the latest in a long line of bumpy periods in diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Abstract
This paper evaluates how H. L. A. Hart and P. Devlin would assess the 1992 Canadian Supreme Court decision R. v. Butler. In so doing the paper clearly expresses an understanding of the debate between Hart and Devlin and applies the salient themes and or arguments of that debate to the Butler decision. Finally, the paper argues for one position or the other when determining whether or not the 1992 ruling was a just and equitable one. Specifically, the paper argues that Hart's position is more tenable than either Devlin's or the Supreme Court decision.

Abstract
Canada's large metropolitan areas, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, are increasingly defined by the ethnic and racial heterogeneity of their populations. As a result of increased immigration in the post-World War II period, the number of peoples with backgrounds other than English and French has swelled the population of the country. In many respects the experience of Canadian cities in this regard mirrors that of North American cities in general. It is in this context that this essay examines the phenomenon of ethnic and racial segregation in Canadian cities.

An assessment of the North American Free Trade Agreement from a Canadian perspective.

Abstract
This paper argues the thesis that the supraconstitutions of NAFTA and the WTO have not rescued Canada from a power-based trade system. It makes reference to the softwood lumber trade dispute between Canada and the United States, showing that the power of the United States is such that the mechanisms of international trade regulation and dispute settlement largely favour the US position. In the case of NAFTA, this situation is shown to be particularly disadvantageous from the Canadian perspective given the asymmetric power differentials between the United States and Canada Mexico.
From the Paper
"In 1987 Canada entered into the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (CUFTA), which later grew into the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1993. Canada's overriding reason for entering these accords was to establish a trade dispute settling system that would efficiently and justly regulate trade between the two countries. Canada's participation in these agreements - as later in its participation in the WTO - grew out of the view that as a mid-sized power Canada is better off in a "rules-based" trade system with strong dispute settlement mechanisms than in a "power based" trade system."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the issues Air Canada, as the leading Canadian airline, has been experiencing navigating the market in a post 9/11 world. According to the paper, the Canadian Airline industry is often overlooked in relation to the North American airline industry as a whole, and in relation to the financial woes of the American airline industry. Yet, the Canadian airline industry suffered as much a devastating blow due to the events of September 11th, 2001 (9/11) as the American airline industry.

Canadian Prime Minister, 2006.
A review of the change in the form of Canadian government.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper addresses the question of whether the change from a "cabinet" form of government to a prime ministerial government has, as some believe, caused the traditional "checks and balances" of the parliamentary system to be no longer effective in limiting the dominance of the Prime Minister in the policy-making process. However, a close examination of the way the system works shows that there are inherent checks and balances in the system and that the power of the office is not as great as some fear.

The Death Penalty for Premeditated Murder., 2006.
A discussion regarding the for and against arguments surrounding the issue of the death penalty.

»

Abstract
This paper discusses the death penalty as a deterrent for potential murderers, especially in the case of second premeditated murder. The paper also takes a look at those wrongly accused of a crime they did not commit, who sat on Death Row. This paper further discusses the moral dilemma of the death penalty from a US and Canadian perspective.
From the Paper
"The death penalty is morally acceptable in cases of premeditated murder, and especially, a second premeditated murder, if evidence confirms guilt. People opposed to the death penalty, in moral terms, often state the possibility of the wrong person being convicted of a serious crime. This can occur, as in several well-publicized cases of persons to serve many years in prison who were, later, found innocent. Several of the American states that have the death penalty feature dozens of persons on Death Row, awaiting appeals, or results of new evidence, and with some discovered to be not guilty as charged."

Abstract
This assignment serves as a briefing report about democratic accountability. The paper discusses integrating corporatism into the Canadian political system.
From the Paper
"The sponsorship scandal involving the Federal Liberal government has shown how important democratic accountability is in a government. For example, in "Liberals on winning end of Gomery report" Don Martin states, Supervisors were blinded, whistleblowers fired, bids rigged, contracts fabricated, purposes circumvented and money diverted into Liberal accounts. Using strong, at times harsh and judgmental wording, Gomery nailed the liars, dissed the forgetful and credited the trustworthy to recreate the worst parts of a sponsorship program exhaustively examined by his commission of inquiry (Martin 1)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how over the past few decades, researchers have become increasingly interested in determining job satisfaction. Although there are many issues involved, it is generally accepted that certain factors determine one's job satisfaction. One such factor is earning gap, which refers to the differences between men and women earn in their earnings. The paper reports how according to Statistics Canada (1998), single women earn 93 cents for every dollar that men earn and married women earn about 69 cents for every dollar that men earn. Although more women have entered into the job force after WWII, recent statistics reflect that women still earn less than men do.

Abstract
This paper discusses how Canada's hospitality industry is expecting the implementation of another round of patchwork anti-smoking laws that will inevitably lead to a lopsided playing field, while further punishing establishments in municipalities such as Toronto that had made significant investments glassed-in ventilated smoking areas, as per earlier rounds of municipal legislation. Along with different approaches to enforcement and arguments over exceptions, the hospitality industry continues to pay the price in this game of political football that fails to recognize international realities.
