Abstract
This paper considers organizational management through the lens of corporate labor management in Canada and China. It is shown that culture matters when managing corporations, as the different approaches to labor in Canada and China are found to influence the ways business operates in those countries. Some suggestions are made for how labor management can be handled as globalization increases.
From the Paper
"It has only been with the recent introduction of market-based initiatives, coupled with the incredible growth of the economy and the emergence of an industrial sector, that the possibility for organizing has arisen. So what are the relevant characteristics of corporate management of labor for our analysis here? Peter Chow argues that the incredible rise of the Chinese economy has been driven by two major factors: (1) effective transition of agricultural workers to industrial jobs, and (2) infusion of direct foreign investment. Both of these developments has been critical, he argues, but he suggests that for the global economy it is the foreign investment that holds most potential to impact labor's standing in China."

Abstract
The issue of Brownfield re-development has been one of the most significant matters to ever consume the time and attention of Toronto civic leaders. Indeed, the consensus (at least among those who closely follow the flagging fortunes of the city's waterfront) is that a failure to adequately resolve Toronto's brown field problem will do lasting harm to Canada's largest metropolitan center. In this paper, the writer explores the brown field redevelopment situation in Toronto by examining whether or not there are any differences to be found between the redeveloped condominiums built on former industrial sites and those built at other locations.

The Stronger Toronto for a Stronger Ontario Act of 2005, 2006.
An evaluation of the the new Stronger Toronto for a Stronger Ontario Act of 2005 for the city of Toronto, Ontario.

Abstract
This paper discusses and evaluates the various parts of the Stronger Toronto for a Stronger Ontario Act of 2005, in an effort to provide some insight as to how the Toronto City Council will act if the act is passed by royal assent. The historical value of such a bill would be unprecedented in the history of the city, which has been slowly creating an autonomous government since the City of Toronto Act of 1997.
From the Paper
"The aim of this study will be to understand and evaluate the new Stronger Toronto for a Stronger Ontario Act of 2005. By realizing the new powers of this charter to help pass more by-laws for Toronto's city administration, there are greater freedoms that allow the government to be more autonomous in legislation. In this manner, the overseeing Canadian government will allow Toronto the ability to access greater governmental responsibility for its ever-growing population."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Childhood obesity needs to be reduced in terms of its impact on the individual and as a consistent health problem within certain populations. The city of Toronto has recently witnessed an overall increase in childhood obesity among its residents. Obesity is recognized as a lifelong problem among affected persons and it is more difficult to overcome obesity than many other preventable health care risks. This paper examines how public planning in obesity education and diet and exercise services has been determined to have a positive impact on outcome in some communities.
From the Paper
"Obesity is a significant health crisis within developed countries; abundance of high-calorie foods and a lifestyle that is low in exercise have created conditions through which it is easy to acquire physical mass and difficult to lose excess weight. There are serious secondary health risks that have been correlated to obesity and the preponderance of weight on individuals. Children seem to be strongly impacted in terms of acquisition of these secondary health risks, as Type II diabetes and cardiovascular problems are increasingly detected among children and adolescents."

Toronto's Restoration of the Waterfront, 2006.
A discussion of the ongoing debate surrounding the restoration of Toronto's waterfront.

Abstract
For many Torontonians few things are as vexing as the ongoing debate surrounding the restoration of Toronto's much maligned waterfront. This paper examines the most pressing issues driving the Toronto waterfront debate and explores, where possible, the origins of these issues and where they appear headed. In the process of so doing it is hoped that this paper will illuminate the stark reality that the imperatives of the situation fairly demand that past hard feelings and acrimony should no longer be used as an excuse for failing to act.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the dramatic restructuring and downsizing initiative currently gripping Ford Canada. The paper looks at the factors which made such moves inevitable, and also examines what the company is doing to both soften the impact of downsizing upon its employees and what it is doing to see to it that this sort of downsizing leads to greater success in the future. In the end, while the challenges facing Ford of Canada are considerable (and not things which can be rectified via quick fixes), this writer believes that cautious optimism about Ford's future in Canada is well-warranted.

Abstract
There are a few stereotypical images that spring to mind when one thinks of Canada's national identity, and hockey is inevitably one of them. Is this sport really a part of Canada's national identity, or has it become an empty corporate shell? This paper discusses the book "Hockey Night in Canada", by Richard Gruneau and David Whitson and the message it conveys about the Canadian cultural and national identity.

Canadian Prime Minister's Powers, 2006.
A look at the powers provided the Canadian Prime Minister's and the argument that there are not enough limitations placed on those powers.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 0 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper addresses the question of whether the Canadian Prime Minister has too much power, and whether the Canadian government should move to a system like that found in the US. The paper offers a brief description of what limits the powers of the Prime Minister and shows that the prime minister is limited very little by formal constraints and ineffectively by informal constraints. It is concluded that the Canadian PM does have too much power and that a US-type system might be favorable. A third way is also suggested but not argued for strenuously.

Abstract
Canada is a unique society. Its population is made up of many diverse people, who live together under a common legal system. At the same time, Canada is the only country in the world with an official policy of multiculturalism. This reflects a desire to accommodate and respect diversity. Yet, is it really possible to at the same time have a common legal system, and also accommodate diversity? This paper discusses the contradictions and problems inherent in this situation that were highlighted by the recent controversy over the introduction of Islamic Sharia, or religious, law in Toronto.

Abstract
This paper examines the monetary policy of the Bank of Canada (BoC), explaining that it clearly believes in the importance of integrating and managing the Canadian economy vis-a-vis its integrated relationship with the global economic framework. The paper explains that the BoC's policy towards economic and currency management is centered on balancing its internal economic attributes; i.e. inflation, with those of its externally related economic functions; i.e. its exchange rate. The BoC has identified energy, and specifically petroleum, as central to both internal and external economic health and discusses its role in this regard at length.

Abstract
Medical malpractice is a topic which has gained considerable attention in recent years. This paper briefly reviews a recent case in which doctors at a large chain of methadone clinics in Ontario billed OHIP for medical tests that were described as excessive and were rarely used for the care of methadone patients. This paper provides the facts of the case and identifies the legal issues at stake. The paper also applies an analysis of the legal issues raised and offers a brief discussion of how the case should be decided. In the final analysis, although the facts of the case would seem to lend themselves to a fairly summary disposition of the matter, things are actually a little more complex than they might at first appear.

Abstract
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom protects important freedoms of all Canadians such as freedom of the press, religion, and expression. However, the implementation of the law, which allows almost unlimited power for judges to interpret the rights as they see fit, is worrying. This paper discusses the needs for limits on judges' interpretive powers.
