Abstract
This paper discusses the role of the Competition Bureau in regulating mergers and corporate concentration in Canada's economy.

Other surrounding issues are addressed as well as looking at real examples in the past decade addressing this topic.

Abstract
This paper relates that America has made Canada dependent on its own resources because of the massive military industrial complex it possesses. The author points out that, due to these economic measures, Canada is bound to resource development and is subject to foreign enterprises, which use Canadian workers for lower wages because of NAFTA. The paper states that, since Canada has not developed a stronger innovative and manufacturing sector along more nationalized lines, it will continue to be enslaved by American economic dominance.
From the Paper
"The first economic aspect of the Williams/Clement article reflects the reliance upon British investment to create the groundwork for Canadian trade throughout the world. This reliance became the manufacturing sectors primary directive until economic problems in the 80's limited Canada's trade powers. In this manner, American companies gained more power in nationalizing trade by working with Canada in building up the economy. The FTA agreement helped to encourage more power from American companies that superseded Canada's own manufacturing base in Ottawa."

Abstract
In short, there are major differences between the economy in Nova Scotia, Ontario and, say, Saskatchewan. All provinces have historically different patterns of development, different opportunities for economic success and different expectations from 'Canada' as a whole. These differences pull at the thread that keeps the country together.

Examines the impact of pollution on the Canadian economy.

Abstract
This paper will argue that - given the complexities of the intersection of pollution and the economy - it is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve a clear measure of the various impacts of pollution on the Canadian economy. It will be argued that, given that what economists term the "externalities" of pollution are difficult to measure clearly, there is a economically defensible need for government intervention even if it negatively impacts the economic health of the country.

Canada and the Global Economy, 2002.
How globalization is affecting trade within and out of Canada.

Abstract
This paper discusses the phenomenon of globalization and how it has caused the increase of capital flows across borders and numerous free trade deals between nations. The paper argues that, as globalization has brought the world economy closer together, Canadian sovereignty and economic well being have been significantly weakened. Globalization has spawned the Free Trade Agreement, which has taken away Canada's ability to make decisions for itself. Moreover, it has fuelled the policies of deregulation and privatization, which have destroyed the Canadian safety net.

The Staple Theory and Canada's Economy, 2002.
Explores the history of the staple theory and its contribution to Canadian economic history.

Abstract
For the purposes of this paper, a staple is a product with a large natural resource content. Some part of its fabrication must take place at the spot, even if only in the trivial sense of seizing it away from nature. This paper finds that the staple theory though not perfect is the most appropriate context in which to evaluate the process of Canadian economic development. As such, it makes an enormous contribution to the study of Canadian economic history. This point will be developed by looking at the evolution of the staple theory,and by its application to the well-known historical facts of Canadian economic development.

From the Paper
"While many detractors of NAFTA predicted that trade deficits would be the only result of this agreement, they also failed to observe that overall exports to these two other markets, the U.S. and Mexico, would increase greatly as well. Because the U.S. is such a large market it was expected to maintain an overall trade deficit but that NAFTA allowed Canada to increase its trade exports across such a wide swath of industries has been a boon to its economy. Dong states that most consumer products increased in amount vis-a-vis trade among the member states of NAFTA (26). Such an overall increase in consumer-oriented products would have been largely impossible without NAFTA guaranteeing market access to these two neighbouring countries. However, NAFTA's benefits seem to have benefited Canada more than the U.S. where its exports only increased meaningfully in a few product categories such as dog food whereas with Canada such increases were almost inclusive of every product category (Dong 26). Canada's increases in foreign trade and in trade relationships with the U.S. through the NAFTA apparatus elevated its status internationally."

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
This paper states that Canadians are overwhelmed with uncertainties about the capacity of their political system to achieve their economic goals. The author believes that the federal state is moving towards neoliberal control, which downgraded economic tasks to lower levels of governance and raised power to the global and continental tiers. The paper describes the many changes that have taken place in the role and organization of the Canadian government to achieve this neoliberal economic policy.
From the Paper
"Since the Canadian government settles trade treaties but can execute them only in areas of its own constitutional jurisdiction, provincial participation has been necessary to realize what are understood to be the profit of liberalized trade. For this reason, Ottawa has encouraged improved provincial participation since the 1970s. In contradiction, an increased provincial function in trade policy has resulted in diminished provincial capability for industrial policy."

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact that NAFTA has had on the Canadian economy. Through examples of the role that NAFTA has played it is seen that this impact has been largely positive. Areas examined include NAFTA's role in mediating between the U.S. and Canada and increased employment through an increase in trade opportunity, among others. Arguments defending the role of NAFTA against criticism it has faced are also presented.
From the Paper
"Canada and the United States have had a long-standing friendship in which the two nations live peacefully side-by-side. The borders are not armed, the residents of each nation have respect for the other and there are many advantages enjoyed by remaining friendly. Just as any two friends will have disagreements from time to time, Canada and the US have also had their share of problems. One of the problems that has occurred from time to time between the two nations deals with the economics of each nation. NAFTA, which is a membership group designed to promote and improve trade relations within the member nations is sometimes called in to mediate between Canada and the US. NAFTA has had a positive impact on the Canadian economy overall, but it has not been without its problems for the northernmost country of the North American continent."

Abstract
This paper will argue that Smith's and Engels' analysis of the economic processes of production, trade and their long term consequences - although radically different in many respects - may provide useful insights to understanding the turbulent economic changes in Canada in the post-Free Trade (NAFTA) era. Moreover, it will be argued that these changes have profound implications for the continuing existence of "Canadian culture" or, indeed, for the survival of Canada itself.

Abstract
SARS has known to have a negative effect on the worldwide economies. This paper discusses these effects, among them are reduction in GDP, the decrease in inflation rate, increase in unemployment and the effects on the current account balance.
From the Paper
"Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) emerged in southern China by the end of 2002. Failing to stop this syndrome from spreading, SARS had since then become a worldwide epidemic. Research has shown that SARS spreads by direct human contact or contact with infectious material (Thurow 2003). This results the World Health Organization to issue an advisory against non-essential travel to affected countries especially Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong and China. It said that, this syndrome has a potential to rival the Black Death in the Middle Ages."

Abstract
This paper examines Canada's Employment Insurance (EI) program, which has been largely negative for Canada's economic growth but relied upon by workers. It explains how employers are often penalized for their participation and receive little in the way of financial incentive to generate new jobs or higher salaries. The paper also shows that the Canadian government should equalize the contribution limits of the EI by the employer and the employee, because then employers would receive some reprieve from the financial severity of supporting the majority of the EI programs and services. The writer concludes that the EI is counter-productive to robust economic performance as well as to long-term, stable economic growth.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Canada, as most other leading economies in the West, offers a comprehensive employment related insurance program that provides for work related payment benefits in the event of layoff, job loss or other employment related issue that results in a covered inability to work. Previously, this system in Canada was referred to as the Unemployment Insurance but since 1996 has been simply termed the Employment Insurance (EI) and is a government program overseen by the Human Resources and Skills Development Canada or the HSSDC (Employment, 2006b). EI is very important to the Canadian economy and social services system because Canada relies on a large population of seasonal workers due to the harsher climates in some of its Provinces as well as to some of its seasonal industries."

Staples Theory and the Canadian Economy, 2008.
An analysis of Mel Watkins' staples theory in relation to linkages and Canadian economic development.

Abstract
This paper examines how, as a basic framework, Melville Watkins' staples theory explains Canadian economic development and the importance of both domestic and external commodity-oriented linkages. The paper further looks at how Watkins' paper first appeared in 1963 as an effort to explain how Canada's economy had developed into a post-World War II era in first flight, unpredictable in its promise of growth.
From the Paper
"If one is able to imagine the early 1960s Canada of which Watkins wrote, one perceives how much did seem built upon patterns established long before, as in the preeminence of Montreal as opposed to Toronto as the principal finance and business centre, and with much business continuing to involve not just Britain but British colonies in the Caribbean region or part of arrangements involving Britain and continental European powers that were engaged in post-World War II reconstruction efforts. Similarly, there were domestic linkages involving commodities and development that were parts of greater linkages involving the United States. Indeed, a helpful aspect of Watkins' paper referred to here is its reminder of how Canada has been shaped by two principal powers, the United Kingdom gradually replaced by the United States and just as it began its post-1945 ascent to world leadership taking the place of Britain.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that with the large increase of immigrants arriving in the last part of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first, Canada has seen some economic benefits, but these benefits are far outweighed by the burden of increased immigration. The writer points out that the government, in an attempt to bolster the Canadian economy, has sought to increase immigration, and thus increase their country's economic status. The writer maintains that immigration is beneficial in many ways, for it does offer a fix for some ails, and it also creates a larger workforce. However, the writer concludes that immigration alone cannot answer or strengthen Canada's economy other than in a superficial and short term way.
From the Paper
"This large immigration rate is not a result of chance or of Canada suddenly becoming the new land of opportunity as the United States did in the late 1800's and the early 1900's. It is not because there is a new Lady Liberty placed in Toronto or Vancouver calling for the worlds poor huddled masses. Rather this increase in immigration is due to an intentional government policy change. The government, in an attempt to bolster the Canadian economy, has sought to increase immigration, and thus increase their country's economic status. Canada has long suffered from a shortage of labor and an economy that at times was strong and suffered greatly at others. One way that they addressed the issue was to create programs that would allow the current population to meet the labor shortage. Initially, that seemed to work, but it could not truly answer the labor shortage for several years."
