Abstract
The urbanization and industrialization of Canada brought with them a rise in the thematic importance of technology in the nation's literature. As the negative consequences of these processes began to be seen very clearly, poets increasingly spoke out against the trend in their imaginative work. Nature is typically cast as a formerly exalted and redeeming entity which technology, the sum of man's scientific 'progress', has sullied. Analysing a number of short poems by Lampman, Pratt, Scott, and Birney, this paper will consider the characterisation of nature and technology which, resoundingly, conforms to the notions expressed above.

Abstract
There are a number of authors that have concluded that there is not much that can be done about high unemployment. In an inter-linked world that is increasingly governed by high technology and service oriented economies, many have come to accept that Canada's natural rate of unemployment is simply higher than other countries; the US in particular. This, however, is untrue. There is something that can be done about high unemployment. This paper will provide proof to support this assertion. It will show that there are several so-called 'home grown' factors that have sparked Canada's unemployment spiral. One way or another, all of them can be controlled. But, change does not come without its costs.

Abstract
While it is true that the fiscal health of the United States, in particular, has a strong national effect upon that of Canada, it is also true that Canada's central bank has been able to sustain a particular level of independence from the world markets that have, in great part, shielded it from some of the same financial damage being felt in the States and in Germany. It has been asserted that the Bank of Canada's financial behaviors, actions and decisions are influenced by the FED's financial behaviors and that these influences are due to the strong economic ties between Canada and the United States. This is certainly a statement which bears out through research and it is the purpose of this paper to demonstrate that it is so.
