Abstract
In recent months, the furor over the release of Karla Homolka has sparked heated debate and calls for a review of the Canadian justice system. The following paper examines three contentious areas of the Canadian legal system that seem in desperate need of a reassessment. The first of these revolves around the growing perception that the Canadian judiciary is arrogant, perhaps even irresponsible, and simply unresponsive to the concerns of ordinary Canadians. The second area revolves around the treatment of aboriginal peoples within the Canadian justice system and the third and last area revolves around the difficulty that Canadian law-makers and justices are having in reconciling the somewhat amorphous multiculturalism they embrace in theory with the fundamental liberal democratic tenets that under-gird the Canadian justice system.

Abstract
This three-page paper is a business overview of Canadian Tire, which is a unique network of businesses that operate under a single umbrella corporation. From its beginning, the company has attempted to reach the Canadian public using innovative marketing and by providing services that their customers demand. Canadian Tire is a fixture in the Canadian marketplace, reaching the majority of the adult Canadian population in one capacity or another.

From the Paper
Canadian Tire: A Company Profile The Canadian Tire Corporation, Ltd. was founded in 1922. Although the original focus of the company was, as the name suggests, on tires, the current organization is self-described as "a growing network of interrelated businesses, engaged in retail, financial services and petroleum" (Canadian Tire "Business Overview"). The corporation employs 48,000 people in over 1000 locations throughout five divisions: Canadian Tire Retail, PartSource (auto parts), Canadian Tire Financial Services, Canadian Tire Petroleum, and Mark's Work Wearhouse (unisex business casual apparel). Since its inception, the company has developed a unique place

Abstract
This paper reviews the Canadian film industry, one that is said to be a composite of three different unique bodies that have combined to create a dynamic film environment; albeit not a uniquely Canadian one. The paper goes on to discuss how while the indigenous Canadian film industry is still extant it might be described as moribund at best. If not for governmental support for the indigenous film industry, independent Canadian film making might already be extinct. The Canadian film industry is relatively healthy overall but the figures indicate strictly indigenous Canadian films, outside of one or two major production houses, may suffer revenue and market difficulties in the years ahead.

Abstract
Canadian foreign policy during World War II was distinctly Canadian in many ways, but it was also conducted from an Imperial and North American perspective at times. Examining primary sources, particularly the diaries of Prime Minister Mackenzie King, confirms that his primary concern during the war was to maintain unity as much as possible between English and French-speaking Canadians and to uphold Canada's sovereignty. His government's foreign policy positions reflected his recognition that this distinctly Canadian approach to foreign policy was necessary, especially regarding the divisive issue of conscription.

Abstract
The paper shows how the Fenian Raids in 1866 and the fighting on the Western Front in the First World War both demonstrated to Canadian commanders the necessity of improving equipment and training for Canadian soldiers. This analysis discusses the specific responses made by the Canadian military to these respective challenges, such as providing new breech-loading weapons and incorporating independent companies into battalions in the aftermath of the Fenian Raids, and the provision of gas masks and poison gas warfare training to Canadian soldiers after the Battle of Ypres in Belgium in 1915.

Abstract
The paper explores the issue of wait lists within the context of the Canadian health care system and the implications of the Chaoulli Supreme Court decision of a few years ago for the expansion of private health insurance as a means of combating wait lists. Over the next several pages, the paper discusses the attitude that Canadian governments have long had towards public health care and the rise of neo-liberal health care in Canada in the past generation as those traditional attitudes ran into the tough reality of a mounting deficit and renewed calls for a more efficient way of doing things. From there, the paper explores waiting lists as they have existed within Canada historically (the data is unfortunately spotty, at best) and then looks at how waiting lists stand today in the dominion. A closer look is given to the 2005 Supreme Court decision and the long-term implications of this decision for Canadian health care.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, founded in 1936, is the oldest existing broadcasting service in Canada and it is owned and operated by the Canadian government. However, the paper looks at a website with the name "The Canadian Section of the Broadcast Archive, maintained by Barry Mishkind - www.oldradio.com that states that "one of Marconi's famous early wireless telegraphy stations was set up in Glace Bay Nova Scotia, in 1902." So, the paper explores how perhaps, the history of radio has an earlier beginning prior to the establishment of CBC.

Abstract
The paper looks at whether or not the fragmentation of Canadian history has been bad for Canada - as noted historian Jack Granatstein suggests - or whether it has really been a boon for all those who believe that education should be about introducing new ideas and modes of thought to young Canadians. Ultimately, this writer takes the view that Granatstein's 1998 book, "Who Killed Canadian History?" raises some worthwhile points but fails to consider all the ways in which a new approach to teaching history has engaged minority students and compelled those in the majority to take a more thoughtful look at their own past.

From the Paper
"The last 40 years have been years of extraordinary change in Canada. This nation has seen its traditional Anglo-British base gradually give way to be replaced by a more "multi-cultural" mosaic at precisely the same time as traditional gender and racial stereotypes have been turned upside down. No less importantly, history departments across the land have gradually "fragmented," with feminist history, "gay" history, African-Canadian history, various branches of social history, and native history all pulling and tearing at the traditional, monolithic portrayal of the Canadian past which existed without challenge until the 1960s."

Abstract
Summary: This paper introduces a variety of published work pertaining to subjects of the Canadian mass media. A tendency that is noted, in different places, is that of Canadians assuming that their media are free in comparison with the mass media influences of the United States, or the United Kingdom, for example. However, as is mentioned, the Canadian media seem to be shaped by their environment, and the environment beyond Canada to a significant degree.

Abstract
The paper studies and compares the education systems and their goals in Canadian and the United States. It shows that these school systems share many aspects, including a striving for better education, a constant drive for better technology and a consistent effort to better educate their students. The paper explains that while the methods of instruction and the funding for the system may differ, each share the common goal of a quality education for all students. It argues that, by learning from some successes of Canadian schools, the United States could further its ability to better educate all students in the system. In today's global economy, and in the age of information, there can be no substitute for education. It shows that if, by learning from other nations, the United States is able to provide a better education to the people, then the sanctioning bodies must come together in unity.

From the Paper
"The first of these values is equality of access. This value used to be defined as making public education available to a thin population across an entire continent (Fleming, 1997). Currently, equality of access is seen mainly as the eradication of the barriers to education caused by language, gender, race, or physical or mental disability. In fact, the Canadian Council of Ministries of Education, in their Pan-Canadian Protocol for Collaboration on School Curriculum in 1997 stated, "The ministers wish all citizens to have a fair and equitable opportunity in education and wish to provide increased accessibility to education."
Closely related to this fair education policy is the value of equality of educational opportunity. This value is described as the idea that the quality and choice of educational programs should not be lessened by where a person lives (Fleming, 1997). As part of the Pan-Canadian Protocol (1997), the ministry stated that one of the objectives of the Corroboration was the "application of technology to curriculum and the use of distance education for delivery."
