Abstract
This paper asserts that some Canadian government officials believe that Canada should establish proxy servers to help peoples in other parts of the world circumnavigate official repression. The paper posits that the establishment of proxy servers might do wonders at breaking down the control of authoritarian governments and would allow Canada to build its international stature while empowering a huge number of peoples abroad. However, the paper points out that proxy servers appear to be, by default, unencrypted and thus information being exchanged between the proxy and the user can be easily "tapped" into by a third dissident party. In the end, the paper concludes that Canada would do well to leave such matters alone inasmuch as the proxy server plan may endanger lives rather than enrich them.

From the Paper
"Still, there are real-life benefits to proxy servers that are appealing to technocrats within the Canadian bureaucracy. For one thing, there are many software packages now available that can "proxy" traffic and that can be configured to operate on non-standard ports. As well, there are now many publicly-accessible proxy servers ("Technical Ways to Get around Censorship," para.2). Consequently, it is easier to set up proxies than ever before and it is easier to access proxy servers than ever before. Thus, the advent of a generation of proxy servers capable of helping private citizens navigate their way around government censorship seems like something that can only help educate (and empower) the public."

Abstract
This paper explores and discusses the idea of setting up proxy servers to help people circumvent government control of the Internet. The paper explains that currently, some governments (as well as some employers) monitor what people do online. In order to thwart the efforts of certain foreign governments, some Canadian government officials would like to set up numerous proxy servers and then spread the word worldwide about how to find them and use them. The paper notes that the goal would be to help people in China, Saudi Arabia, and other countries circumvent government control of the Internet, allowing greater freedom in the hopes that more freedom online might translate to greater freedom for the people in the future.

The intent is to allow for greater freedom, in part on the view that more freedom online might translate to greater freedom for the people in the future. The issue is thus raised as to whether this is a plan that should be pursued and whether it would have the desired effect or a more ..."

Abstract
This paper considers the law of proxy marriage, a marriage in which one of the marrying parties is represented only by a proxy, a stand-in. The practice has been largely ruled illegal in the United States in the sense that a proxy marriage entered into in any states except Montana, Colorado, and Texas, is not valid, but in other states, it is accepted if valid where performed.

From the Paper
"Immigration into the United States has often involved issues of marriage. American immigration law has generally favored allowing the spouse of an immigrant to enter the United States. Because of this, questions of the validity of marriages have often been raised and continue to be raised in the context of immigration. Additionally, there has been a cultural question: is the United States required to accept marital customs that are allowed in the home countries of various immigrants. One example of a marriage practice that has raised serious issue in the United States was the "proxy marriage." A proxy marriage is entered into..."

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
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
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 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 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.
