Abstract
This paper discusses the common-refrain of the Conference Board of Canada to report that private-sector unions and management are becoming more likely to pull "closer together for the sake of survival" in the newer global economy. The paper points out that in the public sector the Board generally reports that relations are worsening. It continues that despite the fact that strife garners much more in the way of headlines than agreements negotiated good faith, the Board's statement that private-sector unions are making more of an effort to work with employers is ideological in that it creates a spin pressuring unions to reduce demands in the name of tax cuts.

Forestry Management Planning, 2006.
Questions and answers regarding forestry management planning.

Abstract
This paper reviews and answers two questions. The first of these deals with carbon sequestration and whether or not Canada should use its boreal forests in pursuit of this aim. The second question discusses how a forest manager can best utilize her available budget to re-seed the areas falling under her jurisdiction. After some thought, the paper argues that a mix of aerial re-seeding and natural regeneration is the best way to go.
From the Paper
"Question 4: Whether or not the Boreal forest region of Canada should be used to sequester Carbon that Canadians emit into the Atmosphere. A: For one thing, the boreal forest region comprises 58 percent of Canada's landmass ("About Canada's Boreal", sec.2). That leaves only 42 percent of the rest of the country. Therefore, it seems logical to infer that whatever carbon dioxide the rest of the country can produce, the boreal region can effectively store it. Moreover, trees obviously store carbon as part of their own process of respiration, so this would policy of carbon sequestration would not impose an undue burden upon valuable wildlife (at least tree "wildlife" anyway)."

»

Abstract
This report explores the question of whether women should be permitted to participate in all contact sports. A contextual analysis of this issue reveals that its assumptions are predicated upon historically-defined appropriate gender roles for women that are currently under revision in Western society. Given the increasing popularity of such sports among women, and interest in women's athletics in society in general, it recommends that participation be permitted with the caveat that they can only compete with other female athletes in these contact sports.

Canadian Judaism in the Mid-Twentieth Century, 2006.
A review of 20th century Judaism in Canada.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Canadian Judaism in the 20th century and how it differs greatly from Judaism in other regions of North America. This paper explores how social and cultural changes were more likely to impact the Jewish community than were theological changes, and mentions examples such as women's rights.
From the Paper
"The initial establishment of Judaism in Canada rivaled any possible historical upheaval of this faith. The need to balance religious practices against basic survival created conditions in which both Orthodox and Reform Judaism were significantly altered. Furthermore, social changes altered the established structure of the Jewish community in addition to the basic changes related to theological practice (Schenfeld, 230). As a result, Canadian Judaism within the middle of the Twentieth Century was extremely distinctive, and was arguably different than Judaism in other regions of North America. Ironically, many researchers appear to give up in the attempt to determine what it means to be Jewish in Canada in the years following World War II. Weinfeld writs that "social scientific studies of Judaism in the post-war period are invariably behavioral. Researchers measure actions and ritual observances" (Weinfeld, 282). "

Spousal Abuse and the Law, 2006.
A discussion regarding the legal regulation and social toleration of spousal abuse in Canada.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 7 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses one of the most controversial and compelling legal issues in Canadian society today, spousal abuse and domestic violence. The paper goes on to discuss that while one may note the strong legal prohibitions against this form of violence in Canada today, a closer examination of the relationship between this social problem and the law reveals this approach to be fundamentally simplistic. This essay then argues, that the legal prohibition of spousal abuse and domestic violence has long been honoured more in the breach than the observance given the existence of profound cultural and social boundaries demarcating the family unit from legal intervention.

Abstract
This essay talks about bilingualism in Canada and the response to the official languages act which made the provinces use both English and French. This essay is based on research taken from book sources and articles from the Globe and Mail. According to this paper, not only is it an issue of language, but also of culture and outlook.
From the Paper
" Canada is a country that was founded by two different groups of people; Anglophones and francophones (Aboriginals and other groups have been largely ignored in most accounts). Anglophones are English speaking Canadians and francophones are French speaking Canadians. Besides speaking different languages and having different cultural backgrounds each group saw its position in Canada differently. For example, in "The First Century" Kenneth McRoberts states, From the beginning, English-speakers and French- speaker have seen Canada in fundamentally different ways. At the time of Confederation, most Anglophones saw themselves as members of a British nationality that transcended the boundaries of the new Dominion, whereas most francophones identified with a Canadian nationality that fell considerably short of these boundaries (McRoberts 2)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the well known fact that racist discrimination still exists in society and business throughout the world. However, many Canadians like to think that Canada is different. They prefer to see their society as tolerant, and many would argue that Canada has overcome racism in their society and workplaces. The paper further points to out that in 1971, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau introduced an official policy of multiculturalism in Canada.
From the Paper
"OUTLINE: I: INTRODUCTION 1. Canada claims to be a tolerant, multicultural society with low levels of racism in business. 2. Thesis: this is not true. In fact, despite the fact that we have an official policy of multiculturalism, there is still racism in Canada. 3. Historical overview of the racist origins of Canada. II: COUNTER ARGUMENT 4. Counter-argument: Canada is not very racist compared to other countries. 5. Rebuttal of that argument: it does not matter if other countries are more racist, that is beside the point. We still have to examine our own racism. III: MY ARGUMENT 6. Point #1: The wage gap still exists"

Abstract
This paper reviews the book 'The Worker Festival: A History of Labour Day in Canada', an original work that focuses on the working class throughout Canada. The direction of the book, however, demonstrates that as the celebration of labor changed so did the manner in which individuals functioned within society. The paper goes on to discuss that initially the working efforts of the masses were hailed in society, but over time it was apparent that society and business were more focused on monetary gain than how that gain was accomplished. This paper reports that events in society altered people's lives and ultimately how they functioned in industry because the demands of industry were also conforming to the needs of the larger social order. These factors played a significant role in the progression of labor and Labour Day in Canada.

Abstract
This paper discusses Canada's adoption of Kyoto Protocol and the criticism of how Kyoto has been instituted without notifying public as to short and long term impacts, and without the collaboration of the private sector. This paper further reviews the warning made by businesses that the way in which Kyoto rules are adopted will harm industrial/business sector, and the Canadian standard of living.
From the Paper
" The Kyoto Accord, and the U.N. Conference on Climate Change, Montreal, 2005. Canada has supported the Kyoto Accord since 1997, towards signing the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. At the 1998 Toronto Conference on the Changing Atmosphere, climatic change was declared to be second, as a world threat, only to nuclear war. By 2005, treaty bans on chlorofluorocarbons or "CFCs" were established by developed industrial countries and with other treaty bans to be drawn up by 2010. A 20% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions was targeted for 2005, towards other efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and their results. "

Abstract
This literary review discusses democratic accountability in terms of governmental change and responsibility. The paper advocates the radical change of corporatism instead of simple reform.
From the Paper
"The integrity of Canada's demographic institutions seems to have been declining in recent years. 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). This statement lists some of the deceptive and illegal activities that were connected to or committed by the Liberal Party. "

Higher Education in Ontario, 2006.
A review of the history and the goals of higher education in Ontario, as well as federal policy.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 3 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores how historiography helps us to identify biases, or over-emphasized points in phenomena. For instance, the 2006 election featured party commentary on how to make higher education more accessible in Canada, though education is properly a provincial undertaking. The paper refers to history of higher education in 19th century and its purposes, as compared to social engineering/cost-benefit analysis of today and draws several examples.
From the Paper
"The goals of higher education in Ontario, over time, and federal policy. Introduction education remains a provincial responsibility in Canada, yet political parties are expected to produce approaches to matters of education. Prior to the federal election of 2006, statements revealed several strong themes pertaining to education of different kinds, as proved interesting to explore. The reader becomes aware of contrasting notions of education's purposes, and ideals, and later, sees that these contrasts have been present for rather a long time. The study of educational history and its historiography come into view as not very streamlined pursuits. "

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the history of Canadian synagogues. The paper continues with a description of how, like most synagogues world wide, the synagogue in Canada was the central point of all Jewish communal life and activities.
From the Paper
" Canadian Synagogues The Canadian synagogue was plagued with multiple concerns in its early establishment period. In the early part of the Twentieth Century, Judaism had arrived in Canada but the majority of Jewish communities were still seeking to appropriately define a sense of community and of purpose, and the synagogue was instrumental in helping achieve these ends. The care and the construction of the synagogue was a central component of the Jewish community and tended to involve all members. Shuchat writes of the building process that was used for the construction of the Shaar Hashomayim synagogue, in which multiple details needed to be considered in order for the synagogue to meet both the spiritual and the emotional needs of the congregation. Additional concerns, such as the education of the younger generations, were also a priority. "

Quebec Nationalism vs. Canadian Nationalism, 2006.
A discussion on why nationalism is stronger in Quebec than it is in the rest of Canada.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
It is very clear that nationalism is stronger in Quebec than it is in the rest of Canada. While Quebec remains a province of federal Canada, the question of seceding from Canada and becoming an independent country is never far from the agenda of most politicians in Quebec, and generates immense patriotic fervor throughout Quebec. This factor makes Quebec entirely different from other Canadian provinces. For example, we never hear talk of British Columbia seceding from Canada and becoming the Republic of British Columbia. In order to understand this peculiar situation, this paper investigates Canada's past and, specifically, the history of Quebec with Canada.
