Abstract
With the rise to power of neoliberal forces in the United States in the 1980s, the Canadian labour market has been systemically moving towards an increasingly deregulated model that has led to many of the jobs created in Canada today being low paid and insecure. This essay critically examines several policy options to remedy this situation in the following areas: (1) improving regulations for employment standards; (2) improving the quality of jobs; and (3) improving the quality of the Canadian labour force. This essay argues the thesis that the key element in all of these options is a recognition of the critical importance of competitiveness to the viability of any policy.

Reed Scowan's "Time to Say Goodbye", 2006.
A review and discussion of Reed Scowan's book about Quebec Unity, "Time to Say Goodbye".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a book review and summary of "Time to Say Goodbye" by Reed Scowan. This book is essentially about the Quebec Unity question. Its argument is that Canada should ask Quebec to leave Canada. This is because Canada and Quebec are too different and there is no way to make them work together.
From the Paper
"The nature of Quebec within Canada has been a controversial topic for decades. In "Time to Say Goodbye", Reed Scowen diverges from the common positions of politicians, political commentators, academics and the general public. Scowen's solution to the problems caused by having Quebec in Canada is "divestiture". In other words Scowen is suggesting that Canadians ask Quebec to leave (Scowen 1). Scowen is uniquely positioned to make this argument. First of all he is a native Quebecer raised in the predominately English-speaking community known as the Eastern Townships (Scowen 10). Scowen also had..."

Canadian Jewry in the 19th and 20th Centuries, 2006.

Abstract
This paper discusses the economic and social conditions in Canada during the 19th and 20th centuries that impacted and altered the definitions of Reform and Orthodox Jewry in that country.
From the Paper
"The definitions of Reform and Orthodox Judaism is difficult to discern even in the most transparent circumstances, as in the emergence of Reform Judaism as a means for the Jewish community to better connect with the gentile communities within the surrounding regions in Europe. However, the immigration of Judaism to Canada in the 19th and 20th centuries created conditions in which all Judaism was to some degree altered significantly by the social, economic, and political circumstances in which the events occurred, therefore suggesting that no engagement in traditional Jewish traditions could be perceived as typically Orthodox in nature; conversely, reform was so pervasive in all forms of Judaism that it no longer could be considered to be in keeping with the Reform movement as a whole."

Abstract
This essay explores the use and power of public opinion polls by news media during a Canadian federal election. The focus is the Toronto Start and indicates the bias to the Liberals. Furthermore, whether it concerned placement, context, or lack there of, time and again, the paper used polling information to the best advantage of the Liberals, even when there was not much that could be done.
From the Paper
"The fact that The Toronto Star is a Liberal newspaper is well-known. During the 1988 election, for instance, the paper was one of handful of Canadian news outlets to take an editorial stance against the Tory darling of Free Trade, once again endorsing the Liberals. Since and before, the paper has been steeped in Liberal tradition, and this partisanship was just as evident during this year's federal election, as evidenced by the use of polls, in particular. Whether it concerned placement, context, or lack there of, time and again, the paper used polling information to the best advantage of the Liberals, even when there was not much that could be done.

Globalization and the Public Sector in Canada, 2006.
A discussion on the effects that globalization has had on the public sector in Canada.

Abstract
In this paper, it is argued that a combination of globalization, privatization and outsourcing has resulted in the shrinkage of Canada's public sector. The paper argues that globalization has not had only an economic impact but has affected other aspects of society as well.
From the Paper
"Globalization is one of the most controversial and confusing terms in the modern lexicon. This is because there are actually a number of globalizations occurring at the same time. For example, in "Globalization and the Decline of Social Reform", Gary Teeple states, "A system of highly integrated world trade was an irreversible fact by the end of the 1970s, confirmed and hastened by the new means of transportation and communications, whose increased productivity were transforming the worldwide distribution of products and hence the global conditions for valorization (Teeple 71). " This statement indicates that globalization is not just an economic phenomenon. Instead it can be argued that what is commonly referred to..."

Abstract
The cultural differences in the United States and Canada began after the American Revolutionary period. A plethora of theories exist regarding the rationale behind the variances in culture. Some theorists contend that the Vietnam War created a vast gap between the cultures, while others suggest that the ideologies of rebellion and peace forced the two cultures to become opposing neighbors. Religion, politics and national ideologies encompass the realm of cultural differences that exist between the countries. this paper examines the similarities between Canadian and American cultures that exist despite the many differences that also exist between the cultures.

Women in the Canadian Labor Market, 2006.
A look at whether women have achieved equality in the Canadian labor market.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 5 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that, in spite of several laws that the Canadian government has enacted to prevent the discrimination of women in the workplace, women in Canada still have not yet achieved equality in the labor market.
From the Paper
"Have Women Achieved Equality in the Canadian Labour Market? Canada has put in place several legislative devices in an attempt to ensure that women do not suffer discrimination. In addition, there has been a growing recognition that discriminating against women in the labour market is unfair and should not be tolerated. However, as this paper will show, although considerable gains have been made, women have not yet achieved equality in the Canadian labour market. It will be shown that this reflects a lingering and pervasive inequality of the sexes within Canadian society. Despite the fact that legislative protections are in place, there stills needs to be a great deal of societal change before women will achieve true substantive equality in..."

Forest Management Planning, 2006.
A case study on forestry management in Ontario, Canada and the factors that make it difficult to protect the area's vulnerable natural resources.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper focuses upon one small part of the on going problem of forestry management in Ontario. Specifically, this paper examines the economic factors which are constraining efforts to conserve and protect the province forests. In particular, the paper examines the international trade factors relations with the United States and international trade pressures which are preventing or at least distracting the province from putting forward a clear and comprehensive plan on forestry management.
From the Paper
"Suffice it to say, forestry management in Ontario has become increasingly important in recent years as the province's Crown Lands slowly give way to urban sprawl. But beyond the fact that effective forestry management can protect a vulnerable natural resource from (unnecessary) depredation, managing Ontario's Crown Lands is more complicated now than ever before because the world itself has grown more complicated. For example, trade relations with the United States are worse today than they have been for many decades. In addition, the rise of a global economy means that Canada can no longer take it for granted that there will be "easy" markets for its resource products."

International Trade and Canadian Publishing, 2006.

Abstract
It must be acknowledged that the manager of Spaulding Books Canada, the business in the given example, faces a difficult challenge in supporting a trade policy that would increase the profitability of the business given the currently precarious financial position of Spaulding Books. This being said, this essay argues that a policy that combines an equity tax credit with a raising of the foreign ownership restriction in Canadian publishing could attract foreign investment and provide access to new technologies and markets.

Abstract
The paper briefly examines the multiple influences that have had an impact on the development and gradual evolution of Judaism within Canada. The paper discusses the nature of the "orthodox" Jews from Eastern Europe who now live in Canada and looks at how the orthodoxy of many of Jewish community has changed over time.
From the Paper
"The Nature of "Orthodox" for the Eastern European Jew in Canada Based upon the class readings thus far, it is evident that there are multiple influences that have had an impact on the development and gradual evolution of Judaism within Canada. Foremost among these are the attempts of the Jewish community to approach matters of policy-making, specifically in regards to both the conduct of the organization and the degree to which certain aspects of religious traditions and scripture should be followed (Brainin, 141-143). However, the deviation from traditionalism within the Eastern European community - and, arguably, among the Orthodox Jews still residing within the urban regions of the United States - have resulted an extremely unusual question: how did an Orthodox Jew determine what it meant to be "orthodox" within a communal and theological climate that differed dramatically from the original Orthodox practices?"

Abstract
The paper explains the dynamics of domestic violence among immigrant and refugee women in Canada, particularly the problems of isolation, stigma and ignorance of Canadian law. The paper places an emphasis on public education work, seeing that women understand Canadian criminal law and their rights as victims and includes some interview material and various references. The paper is intended as a progress report, towards a longer term paper.
From the Paper
"Canadian immigration and refugee policy has been praised for its special attention to female migrants. It is well known that women often face special dangers in countries they must leave as refugees and that these can be among the reasons they apply to come to Canada as immigrants. This short progress report refers to an eventual paper that will explore Canada's way of taking into account domestic violence among women who are in Canada, many of them depending on husbands or other male kin."

Ideas about nurses are needed now as never before to help find answers to this crisis.

Louis Riel, 2006.
This paper describes the achievements of Louis Riel in establishing the province of Manitoba.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper presents a letter explaining what Louis Riel did for this nation in the middle 1800s. The paper describes how he became a national hero for a lot of people in the world and of course mostly for the Canadians. The confrontations he had with the government from that time took him to really hard times; he had to run away and then he gave his life for the community, Metis and their own beliefs and culture. His ideologies were based on respect and equality for all the people in a province. The paper concludes that thanks to him, Manitoba became a province in Canada.
From the Paper
"I believe that without the Louis Riel legacy, Manitoba would not be the powerful and rich province that it is now. So many facts had to happen thanks to Riel, so Manitoba could stay with it's own roots and continue through the history and be at this moment one of the most important places in this nation. We as citizens of this country should realize that this province became part of the Canadian Confederation because Riel negotiated on a provisional government after leading two resistance movements against the former government of Canada, fighting for the Metis people's rights to keep alive his traditions and culture."

»

Abstract
The paper relates that the surge in the Canadian job market does reflect many of the factors evident in the labor market of the United States. There is growth in some industries to include finance, professional fields, public administration and natural resource jobs. Yet, the paper shows how in many other low wage jobs there have been significant deceases in employment. Furthermore, while it is evident that full time workers are gaining positions across Canada, there are significant decreases in the number of part time positions available throughout all industries.

Canada and the Kyoto Protocol, 2006.
This paper looks at the newspaper coverage of the Kyoto Protocol in Hamilton, Ontario, between 2005 and 2006.

Abstract
The paper examines a year's reportage on Kyoto and the related political issues, mainly from the standpoint of environmental history in relation to social and economic history. Thematic developments are discussed in relation to international events, Canadian federal events, details of warming and emission control and a distinctive local interest in Kyoto in journalists and public opinion. The paper provides reference to Crane's model of history as reflected in individual and local sentiments.
From the Paper
"This paper reviews newspaper reportage in Hamilton, Ontario, in the year preceding Canada's January 2006 federal election, to do with the Kyoto Protocol. One sees that many citizens were impatient with the results of the Protocol signed by Canada in December of 1997. The ideal of sustainable development of the 1972 United Nations Conference on Human Environment held in Stockholm, the first international community meeting convened to discuss the global environment in relation to development needs, brought much debate. In the 1980s, there was particular debate on climatic change and whether the world was warming or cooling and the results in both scenarios."
