Abstract
This paper explains that the human capital theory presents humans as a commodities that either attract or dissuade potential employers. The author points out that the success of the Canadian training system, whose goal is to prepare individuals for existing or future openings, depends on an accurate view of economic trends for various kinds of workers and skill sets. The paper states that the Canadian training system continues to refer to ideas of the 1970s or 1980s that becoming qualified in technical fields, presuming one's hard work and ability, will earn a secure job paying high wages and benefits; however, the Canadian training system is not geared to the problem of how to ensure labor flexibility and improved skills and education development of kinds suiting capital in the present labor market.

From the Paper
"Canadians are given a myth of needing to prepare for the new economy; whereas, the new economy seems to need semi-skilled or non-specialist workers and when special skills are needed employers can seek cheap skilled labor supplies abroad, in the well established pattern of international outsourcing. Most jobs that are being created in Canada are low-wage and low-security positions with low-skilled labor most in demand. Of course, this is interesting to reflect upon given an ambitious industry on the part of training colleges, public and private, to suggest that success lies in undertaking new training of some recognized kind."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis that is critical of education in relation to Canadian labor and its myths referring to human capital model that is not proving accurate in the US or elsewhere. Individuals are sold different myths now well known in how skill training produces new employment, perhaps several sets of skills changed, to fit with new opportunities as does not match a reality of semi-skilled service demand without security, and the disappearance of the working and middle classes once known.

From the Paper
"Human Capital theory shapes the Canadian Training System in an understanding of worker advantage referring to a given economy. Human beings become a commodity that either attracts or dissuades potential investors who are, of course, employers. The Canadian Training System depends on an accurate view of where the economy is headed and demand for different kinds of workers and skill sets but Bouchard notes how overviews are obtained from employer survey estimates, combined indicator forecasts that may not be telling and other predictions of future labour need."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"In Canada a class time period is 80 minutes which is 4 times more than what a student is able to maintain his concentration ability. Difficulty during classes is mostly maintaining concentration stable during the whole time. The attention phenomenon is outputted in a certain behavioral "picture" which is easily identified by the teacher with experience: the student that is paying attention may not move at all and have his eyes looking in the teachers' eyes and his ears placed on the sound waves trajectory , a face mimic which (dis)approves the teacher depending on the topic, while the student that does not pay attention has an empty, distant look in his eyes, talks to some peer about totally different things, is always agitated or bored, and pays a lot of attention towards the clock."

Abstract
This paper examines recent changes in, and prospects for, the Canadian health care system. It focuses on funding and taxing shifts between federal and provincial governments. It recommends the federal government reassert its central role and resume its funding responsibilities accordingly.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the Canadian health care industry is a lucrative market and is an attractive target for major health care industry competitors from the United States (US). The paper reveals that some estimates place the current Canadian health care market value at $148b and this figure is expected to keep expanding ("Health"). The paper asserts that because of the easy accessibility to healthcare services for the Canadian population and the high government subsidization of the system, this is a positive opportunity for US health care providers to consider.

Abstract
This paper critically examines Canadian law - both criminal justice law and broader policy legislation - with respect to the issue of racism. Through this process, the paper confronts the popular myth that while Canadian laws may have possessed racist elements in the past, in contemporary Canada the law mandates and supports anti-racist policies and practices. In this context, the paper shows that there is actually an extraordinary degree of continuity in the underlying fundamentals of Canadian law with respect to issue of race.

Abstract
In this article, the writer briefly outlines the reasons why judges should not make laws in Canada. Specifically, the paper assesses the dangers of having unaccountable officials in the role of law-makers, and the paper also examines how special interests can insinuate their way into the deliberative process courtesy judicial activism. Finally, the writer maintains that the credibility of the courts as a bastion of even-handedness is damaged by judicial activism. The writer concludes that Canadian political elites should pass measures which will hold those wearing robes accountable in the same way that other public servants are accountable.

Abstract
This paper discusses that Riordan Manufacturing is planning a move to shift some of its manufacturing to the Canadian market so that it can gain greater cost efficiencies and yet still maintain its relative proximity to its corporate headquarters. The author points out that systems theory management is an appropriate management approach because of the inter-related set of activities, which Riordan must manage within the context of business operations as it integrates the new foreign managerial structures. The paper relates that Riordan has several stakeholder perspectives that it must take into account differently: existing employees, Canadian employees, executive management and the board of directors. The author underscores that utilizing the corporate virtual private network (VPN), which is tunneled through the broader Internet, allows Riordan corporate headquarters to communicate in a real-time,seamless fashion with all its foreign subsidiaries. The paper includes several quotations.

From the Paper
"Managers, in respect to their various roles and activities related to the four managerial functions of planning, leading, controlling and coordinating, must be able to place their duties and responsibilities within each specific category. In this sense, where scientific managers call management a science, operations oriented managers call management and leadership an art where the four functions of planning, coordinating, leading and controlling are all equally balanced: "The art of leadership, however, is more difficult to learn and comes about from keen perception, excellent listening skills and plain old experience.""

Abstract
This paper is a foundation paper towards two subsequent papers addressing a possible change for Canadian correctional environments, in this case, summarizing the vital role of addiction in persons entering the system/returning to the system. The paper argues that a low-cost comprehensive success pioneered in India can offer a superior approach that tends to transform for the better prison cultures and also enables 'rehabilitation'.

From the Paper
"A previous paper on the suitability of Vipassana training for Canadian timeservers focused on the imperfect addiction treatment services in a Federal prison system noted for treatment and therapy courses in modules that do not always amount to comprehensive, transforming experiences. More recent drug and alcohol treatment programs classify offenders, some of whom take courses as terms of upcoming parole reviews, whereas other inmates who might be serious alcoholics or other addicts are under no compulsion to attend. This contrasts with the Vipassana technique..."

Abstract
This essay is an analysis of various forms of literature that provide information on foster care in Canada. Using six sources as Literature Reviews, the writer creates a proposal on the subject. What the text is supposed to provide is a darker side (injustice, bureaucracy, insensitivity, discrimination) and a brighter side (family-centered reform, more parental training, etc.) to the discussion of foster care in Canada. This paper will review the many sides of the issue, and offer potential solutions from the literature.

Outline:
Review of Literature: Basic Numbers of Canadian Children in Foster Care
Review of Literature: Challenges Presently Facing the Foster Care System
Review of Literature: The Social-Emotional Dynamics of Foster Children
Review of Literature: Benefits of Giving Foster Parents Better Training
Review of Literature: Professionalizing Foster Care
Review of Literature: Kinship Care - Better Option than Foster Care?

From the Paper
"In general, children who were subjected to neglect were younger, and were more likely "...to have caregivers diagnosed with a substance abuse disorder" (Marquis, p. 6). Also, neglected children tended to have been placed in homes with higher rates of exposure to "spousal abuse" than children who had been maltreated (Marquis, p. 6). As for children who had been physically abused (maltreated), they displayed "greater difficulty during their foster care adjustment" and once they had been discharged from their care environment, neglected children "were more likely to be returned to the care of the agency" (Marquis, p. 6).
"As of the publishing of this research (2008), there were an estimated 76,183 children in foster care in Canada, Marquis explains (p. 7). That is a dramatic increase from 1999 (46,397 children in foster care) and from 1997 (36,080). Looking at Ontario, the province showed skyrocketing numbers of children in foster care: On March 31, 2003 there were an estimated 18,126 children in foster care, a 56% increase since five years earlier (March 31, 1998)."
