Abstract
The paper aims to answer many different and difficult questions that relate to both America and Canada. In the first section, the author attempts to understand and analyze Canada's objectives and intentions in the Iraq war, what Canada could have done differently and if Canada is seen as a peace keeper or a warring nation. In the second section of the document, the author critically analyzes the election promises that have been made by the Conservative government and if they have been able to keep those promises. The third section evaluates Canada's political climate and analyzes if it can be considered a democracy. The fourth and last section of the document analyzes the rise of Barack Obama and the impact his election as President of the United States would have on Canada - especially since the Governor General of Canada is a Black individual like Mr. Obama.

Abstract
To have an appropriate sense of the history of air travel in Canada, it is appropriate to look at the history and background of Air Canada. To wit, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Mackenzie King laid the foundation for modern Canadian air travel when, in 1937, it established Trans-Canada Air Lines (TCA) as a Crown Corporation charged with providing airline service within Canada's borders. This Crown Corporation, for what it is worth, was originally a wholly-owned subsidiary of the government-owned Canadian National Railway Corporation. From 1937 to 1959, the company had a monopoly on all domestic air routes and a monopoly on trans-border routes until 1967. During these years, it appears as though the federal Cabinet of Canada micro-managed many aspects of the company's business - right down to determining the airline's routes and fares.

Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between the U.S. venture capitol arriving in Canada every year as a way to prove that the rising Canadian interest rates lured American investors in lending to Canada. The paper discusses how although the United States and Canada have always shared a close economic relationship, integration into the U.S. economy through higher U.S. investments in the Canadian market mark a rise in prime interest rates as determine by the Bank of Canada. The paper explains that what results is further proof that rising interest rates signal a surplus of foreign investment. the paper relates that with this knowledge, the Bank of Canada lowered prime rates in its attempt to curb the inflation that naturally comes with such a surplus of foreign capitol. The paper notes that remaining questions linger about future investments after the 2008 rate decrease.

Abstract
The paper relates that in 2007 alone there were 429,649 legal immigrants to Canada, representing the largest immigration in the history of the country ("Canada", 2008, sec. 1). The paper explains that one of the primary reasons for the increase in immigration to Canada is the need for those with special work skills that industry is calling for at the present time ("Canada", 2008, sec. 1). Yet, the paper discusses how this mass immigration causes concerns for immigrants because of the issues that immigrant groups face as they exist within the dominant culture and begin to function within society. The paper explains that this is because of the differences in cultural norms that may cause conflict for cultural groups or individuals making immigration a difficult task. For this reason, the paper concentrates on the concern of acculturation for immigrants to Canada and the issues that acculturation poses for these groups. It is contended that acculturation is different for each group, depending on the ties that the individual has with the culture and the interactions that the person has throughout society.

Abstract
The writer of this in-depth paper addresses specific issues and problems that existed in Canada prior to the Great Depression, such as the effects of the social and agricultural situation. This paper examines how the depression altered previously established perceptions of Canada's economy as well as the role of the state. The writer delves into the various external causes of the depression and the inadequate and ineffective government policy at the time which led to and increased the severity of the situation. This paper analyzes Canada's economy before, during and after America's depression era. This paper provides relevant data and statistics pertaining to this particular topic, including the fact that in 1933 Canada was suffering from large-scale unemployment in which 30% of the labor force was out of work.

From the Paper
"An essential economic aspect that is crucial in understanding the causes and effects of the Depression in Canada was that the country derived 33 percent of its Gross National Income form exports. Therefore the country was particularly affected by the reduction in world trade. This had a severe effect on the Western Canadian provinces as they depended almost exclusively on exports of primary products. Another aspect was that there had been crop failures prior to the Depression. Saskatchewan for example has been plagued by crop failures and a very low what price. Within two years "provincial income plummeted by 90 percent." "This had the result of forcing more than 60 percent of the population onto social relief."

Abstract
The paper looks at how Harsha Walia in "Colonialism, Capitalism and the Making of the Apartheid System of Migration in Canada Part 1 and Part II" discusses the immigration policies in Canada. The paper explains that immigration into Canada by different races has always been difficult whether it is African Americans, Chinese, Japanese, or Arabs, since Canada is a country that is selective in whom they allow to come into their country.

From the Paper
"Immigration into Canada by different races has always been difficult whether it is African Americans, Chinese, Japanese, or Arabs. Canada is a country that is selective in whom they allow to come into their country. Walia discusses the types of immigrants accepted into Canada as well as the problems with wages to immigrant workers. Canada has limited who has the right to enter into their country. When Japanese immigrants in 1877-1928 came to Canada, they limited the number..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of immigration in Canada and attempts to show that there are differences between the immigration policies of the federal government and the provincial government of Alberta, but that they concur in one important aspect: both place emphasis on the need to attract skilled workers to Canada. The paper continues and relates that both allocate funds in order to attract workers. The paper also highlights the fact that skilled immigrants who come to Canada are unable to find work in their chosen professions, which points out the serious disconnection between the intent of immigration policies at both federal and provincial level. The paper agrees that this is not good for the immigrants nor good for Canada's economy and suggests methods of addressing this disconnection.

From the Paper
"The federal government appears to be trying to find ways to resolve the disconnections. For example, the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, announced the launch of a Foreign Credentials Referral Office on 24th May 2007. In announcing this, Finley noted that she had often heard stories of "the newcomer to Canada, who came with skills and credentials ... and who has had to struggle ever since to get a job in his or her chosen field" (www.cic.gc.ca). Yet at the same time, she notes that "We need skilled newcomers and we need skilled newcomers to work in their chosen field" Hence, the new Foreign Credentials Referral Office will attempt to facilitate the accreditation of these immigrants, so as to resolve the futile disconnection of a country that needs skilled immigrants, on the one hand, and on the other hand, skilled immigrants who are prevented from working just because they cannot get their foreign credentials recognized in Canada."

Abstract
The paper considers whether Canada needs strong provincial governments and what this means to the central government, noting that political union of Canada is not threatened, but rather promoted by strong provincial governments. This statement suggests the nature of the union and the fact that the two political levels, the federal and the provincial, each have their own areas of control and responsibility. Strong provincial governments promote order and economic stability. Canada is a federation of different provinces and territories, and, for the most part, the provinces remain committed to Canada as a nation.

Abstract
The paper discusses how Canada is a country that may be seen either as rich in diversity, or as challenged by diversity. Whatever one's take, the paper contends that the truth is that the country is as diverse as it is large. In this essay, it is argued that although this results in intense challenges to Canada's existence as a single, unified nation, it nevertheless remains true that Canada is a viable nation-building project. The paper maintains that despite diversity and despite various claims to distinctness, Canada maintains its integrity as a single, unified nation, with a discernible national identity that is unlike any other.
