Abstract
In both wars Canada played a significant role militarily and economically. In World War I Canada emerged from the shadow of Great Britain and the Empire and emerged as an autonomous, self-governing dominion. In World War II Canada played a larger, and yet more autonomous role, reflected, in the post-war era in Canada's role in the formation of the UN and NATO.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"For the first time in history weapons reached technically superior heights.There were hand grenades, gases, aircraft and machine guns. These weapons had not been used in widespread capacities. Previously, the war strategies that various nations had developed were designed around more primitive methods of defensive and offensive actions. One of the most tried and true war strategies that had worked in the past had been a trench. The advent of fighter pilots and bomber aircraft was first supported during the Great War. It allowed pilots to fly low t the ground and dispense bullets at the rate of hundreds per minute. Servicemen on the ground and in the trenches had nowhere to go to escape the advanced technology."

From the Paper
"When the First World War started in 1914, Poland was partitioned and under the rule of three different powers, namely Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Germany with Russia ruling over the largest chunk. All three of them were involved in the war with Germany and Austria-Hungary, pitted against Russia on the eastern front and against France and Britain (later joined by Italy and the United States) on the western front. The Polish question had not been an issue for generations, because all three partitioning powers had a common interest in avoiding the problem. For other Western powers, Poland was insufficiently important to risk confrontation with any of the three occupying powers; hence the Poles were left to their fate. Events during the War was to bring the Polish question to the forefront of the world?s attention. (Biskupski, p. 38)"

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of the Western Front during the Great War of 1914-1918. The author discusses one of the currently least talked about wars which had one of the largest impacts on the way the world would shape itself. The writer explores what life was like in the trenches for those who served in the war and presents an overview of many aspects of the war.
From the Paper
"Experts have said that the Great War of 1914 ushered in the most destructive and violent century in human history. Those who were alive to witness its battles believed it served as a sort of cleansing action for the eras that were in conflict(The Great War ushered in the 20thCenturyhttp://www.pitt.edu/~pugachev/greatwar/ww1.html). The old world was being forced to retire at a time it was not ready, while the new era promoted progress for mankind, yet carried with it, violence and bloodshed. For those who were in the trenches the war represented an almost good versus evil question and when it was over many dreams had died. ?The naive dreams of progress, along with the innocence of the pre-war world, faith in God, and hope in the future all died in the trenches of Europe(The Great War ushered in the 20thCenturyhttp://www.pitt.edu/~pugachev/greatwar/ww1.html).?"

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the books "The Great War 1914-1918", by Cyril Falls, and "The Pity of War: Explaining World War I", by Niall Ferguson. The paper discusses how these two books, written 40 years apart, look at the war from different stages in history and from different perspectives. The paper analyzes how the authors graphically illustrate the First World War and what this war meant to the participants, the world, and to history in general. The paper examines how the books discuss emotional and personal themes, which makes them quite important for detailed research that adds another dimension to The Great War.
From the Paper
"Ferguson, on the other hand, uses a different type of literary technique. He consistently relates events to works of literature that covered the war, from classics such as All Quiet on the Western Front and For Whom the Bell Tolls to lesser knows works, he consistently compares the actual events of the war to how their authors portrayed (and sometimes dramatized) them in literary works. For some readers, this might be more difficult to follow and identify with and understand. However, both books are extremely well written. They belong in any serious World War I library or historian's reference shelf."

Abstract
This paper examines the three plays "Journey?s End" by R.C. Sherriff, "Post Mortem" by Noel Coward and "For Services Rendered" by Somerset Maugham and considers how each of them portrays the Great War of 1914-1918. It looks at how they are all anti-war and the differences in the way they treat the subject. It shows how issues with the concept of war and dramatic devices all differ from playwright to playwright to give an interesting overview of the attitudes to the Great War ten to fifteen years after its end.
From the Paper
"?Post Mortem? is not subtle in its agenda, nor in its mechanisms achieving this. Its anti-war message is relayed by using the idea that someone from the time of the war should be placed in a time thirteen years after the event, thereby highlighting the contrast between attitudes to the war in the trenches and at the time, and those distorted attitudes of the next decade. It also suggests that the newer recollections are reprehensible ? characters like James Cavan and Lady Stagg-Mortimer are grotesque caricatures and the ?returning hero? of the piece is enraged by them, and by his peers who survived him in the war."

The Russian Civil War, 2005.

Abstract
This paper attempts to interpret the Russian Civil War in its bigger frame of the Communist Revolution with particular reference to the reasons which brought to the final, unexpected Communist victory in 1921. Some of the topics covered include, Trotsky, the disunity within their enemies (Whites, Greens, the Czech Legion, foreign troops and so forth), war Communism (the economic theory introduced by Lenin) and the terror.
From the Paper
"It is commonly agreed that the Russian Civil War started over the summer of 1918 when arms against Bolsheviks were taken up for the first time. However, its root can be traced back to the very morning of October 25, 1917 after the Provisional Government was dismissed by a coup of socialist parties. For a time other parties, among whose left-wing Socialist Revolutionaries are the most important ones, emerged next to the Bolsheviks as well as taking place in the Sovnarkom . Nonetheless, this phase was quickly over and eventually all the non-Bolsheviks parties had been outlawed by July 1918. Such an idea of Lenin?s as that of getting rid of annoying exponents was clearly to be achieved with strength, especially after the elections of December 1917 had revealed the Bolsheviks were holding less than a quarter of the whole seats in the Constituent Assembly."

The NWAC V. Canada Case, 2008.
A critical examination of the "Native Women's Association of Canada v. Canada" court case.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains the relevant administrative law principles regarding the "Native Women's Association of Canada v. Canada" court case and asserts that in this situation, the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) was given an opportunity to be heard vis-a-vis the issues in dispute, proper procedural guidelines were followed and the Charter prerogatives of aboriginal women represented by the organization were not offended. The paper shows how there is no evidence that the government officials acted in a fashion that could be construed as biased. The paper concludes, therefore, that the government acted in full accord with the principles of administrative justice and the Court ruling substantiates this unequivocally.
From the Paper
"During the constitutional reform discussions that led up to the Charlottetown Accord, various government-funded aboriginal organizations were invited to participate in the debate. Unfortunately, the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) was not invited to participate in this debate. In the view of the aforementioned group, its exclusion from direct funding and from direct participation in the constitutional discussions of the day was a threat to the equality of aboriginal women. In particular, NWAC was troubled at the prospect that the proposals being bandied about with regards to constitutional amendments might very well result in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms not applying to aboriginal self-government. Suffice it to say, NWAC went to court to prevent any further provisioning of monies to other aboriginal organizations until such time as NWAC was provided with equal funding as well."

Climate Change and Atlantic Canada, 2008.
This paper examines the effects of climate change on Canada and Atlantic Canada, specifically.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the most important and likely ways that Atlantic Canada will be affected by climate change. The paper demonstrates that climate change has the potential to have a devastating effect on the forests, farms and economy of Atlantic Canada.
From the Paper
"Another way in which climate change could negatively impact Atlantic Canada's forests is by causing mid-winter thaws to become longer, and to occur more often. These thaws cause air bubbles to form in stems, and if these remain they will prevent water from flowing into the leaves when spring comes. Also, if there are extended thaws, when the soil freezes again it can damage roots. This means that when the spring comes, the roots are damaged. However, it is the roots that usually produce the pressure to expel the air bubbles."

From the Paper
"Their main preoccupation was what was going to happen in Czechoslovakia, which could be attacked from the north and the West as well as from the South. There was a mounting crisis in Czechoslovakia between the Germans and the Czechs because of the plight of a numerous group of people known as the Sudeten Germans. They were Germans living in Czechoslovakia, in the Sudeten land which was the hilly region which forms the border between Germany and Czechoslovakia. This part was till 1919 part of Austria and the Sudeten had been Austrian citizens in 1919. Czechoslovakia was politically dominated by the Czechs, 75 million, but it was ethnically speaking extremely heterogeneous, (in spite of the principle of self-government). Besides the Czechs, there were also several ethnic minorities, in particular 2.5 million Slovaks, half a million Hungarians, half a million Ruthinians, today Northern Ukrainians, 80,000 Poles, and above all 3.2 million Germans."

Abstract
This paper discusses the rules governing foreign ownership in Canada, foreign takeovers and corporate and government positions, according to the opinion of Dominic D'Alessandro of "Manulife Financial." The paper then discusses Canada and the World Trade Organisation, as well as Canadian interests in relation to trade agreements. Finally, the paper focuses on public interest group activity and the issue of foreign ownership in areas of the Canadian economy considered 'sensitive.'
Table of Contents:
The Rules Governing Foreign Ownership in Canada
Canada and the World Trade Organisation
Public Interest Group Activity
From the Paper
"This overall pattern seems to be very promising for those caring about the likelihood of lost Canadian economic sovereignty and the aim of better regulating foreign investment that was ventured by D'Alessandro. In the Council of Canadians, very often associated with the Canadian "left" but actually featuring diverse participants, one finds a way of inducing the public to imagine a future Canada that may appear unless effort is made to question and limit the rate of foreign investment and takeovers in particular sectors of the economy. Given that neo-liberal economic shifts were thrust upon the Canadian public, including the radical departure of the NAFTA, it seems all the more important that public interest groups compel Canadians to consider their future, demand restrictions they may decide should be in place and rather than waiting or hoping for an effective political party to list these concerns."

Table of Contents:
Introduction
Historical Economic Factors
Governmental Economic Policies
The China/Petroleum Impact
NAFTA and the International Stage
NAFTA's Economic Impact
Conclusion
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
This is a research proposal that was done to look at the effects of poverty on immigration in Canada. In Canada, immigrants are more likely to live under the poverty line than native Canadian-born citizens. The proposal attempts to answer the question: Why are Canada?s immigrants more likely to end up in poverty than native-born Canadians. It is a qualitative proposal, which includes a literature review. The author discusses census data and utilizes interview questions and answers. The proposal was written in first person narrative, and is 13 pages long, including bibliography as well as a potential newspaper ad for gathering applicants to the study.
From the Paper
"This study will hopefully show why it is that immigrants to Canada , at least those who arrived since 1981, are more likely to live in poverty than native-born Canadians. It will attempt to find possible solutions to prevent this from happening to future immigrant populations, whether the problem lies in the hands of the immigration system, or if it has to do with something else. Optimistically, my study will also serve to educate the public and policy makers to adopt different views on immigration and immigrants than the ones currently harbored by many. In my opinion, education of the public and lawmakers will prove crucial after the findings to start finding ways to make some changes to get these people out of poverty, which would benefit everyone."
