Abstract
The writer of this article discusses that in the book "Auto Pact: Creating a Borderless North American Auto Industry" the author argues that the Automotive Products Trade Agreement (APTA, the "auto pact") signed between Canada and the United States in January, 1965 was really made possible not only by negotiations between the governments but, more importantly, by the intervention of the big three automotive companies, GM, Chrysler, and Ford. The writer maintains that what makes his main argument convincing is that he situates the context of the idea of APTA within the polar opposites that characterized that era in both countries: protectionism versus free trade, nationalism versus continentalism. The writer points out that Anastakis also cites the significant differences in the role of the State in industry between the United States and Canada.
From the Paper
"This is a good example where the author doesn't shy away from citing facts or events that are contrary to his thesis; in fact, this instance supports it because it reveals the lack of perception on the part of the Canadian government (at least) to consider the problem in a larger context with perhaps a different solution. Although government interference is countenanced in Canada (and currently welcomed by the resurgent auto industry), it is anathema in the United States. This was precisely the area in which the confrontation between the two nations would come, and it would be out of this impasse that the idea of APTA was born by a chance suggestion between adversaries."
"Another excellent feature of the author's argument is his ability to highlight the main issues within the details of chronicling the political and economic events."

From the Paper
"In opening a business in Canada, it is necessary to understand the business, political, and legal environment in that country. Gaining this understanding is doubly important for a law firm specializing in international business law. The political environment in Canada is currently undergoing a shift from after a lengthy period of liberal rule to a more conservative political government. The change came at the election on January 23, 2006 when the Conservative Party led by Stephen Harper defeated the Liberal Party, making Harper the new Prime Minister and leading to a new agenda ("Canada's New Conservative Government Outlines Priorities" paras. 1-3). The new agenda is to include efforts to clean up government and to make provision for "a one-point cut in the goods and services tax, direct financial support for parents using child care, tougher sentences for violent and repeat offenders, and establishing waiting-time for medical care" (para. 4)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the well known fact that racist discrimination still exists in society and business throughout the world. However, many Canadians like to think that Canada is different. They prefer to see their society as tolerant, and many would argue that Canada has overcome racism in their society and workplaces. The paper further points to out that in 1971, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau introduced an official policy of multiculturalism in Canada.
From the Paper
"OUTLINE: I: INTRODUCTION 1. Canada claims to be a tolerant, multicultural society with low levels of racism in business. 2. Thesis: this is not true. In fact, despite the fact that we have an official policy of multiculturalism, there is still racism in Canada. 3. Historical overview of the racist origins of Canada. II: COUNTER ARGUMENT 4. Counter-argument: Canada is not very racist compared to other countries. 5. Rebuttal of that argument: it does not matter if other countries are more racist, that is beside the point. We still have to examine our own racism. III: MY ARGUMENT 6. Point #1: The wage gap still exists"

From the Paper
"The Ukrainian parliament passed a new constitution with formulations for press freedom and the forbidding of censorship borrowed from Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Regrettably, lawmakers also copied the latter part of Article 10 of the European Convention for Human Rights that restricts expression in the interests of natural security, public order, and the protection of reputations, notions that are open to wide interpretation and abuse in Ukraine, where separation of powers is weak. In the countries of Western Europe, such constraints on speech are rarely used, overturned in constitutional courts, or ultimately appealed to the European Court of Human Rights, where a substantial body of case law has developed to protect journalistsa?? rights to criticize the government."

From the Paper
" The Kyoto Accord, and the U.N. Conference on Climate Change, Montreal, 2005. Canada has supported the Kyoto Accord since 1997, towards signing the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. At the 1998 Toronto Conference on the Changing Atmosphere, climatic change was declared to be second, as a world threat, only to nuclear war. By 2005, treaty bans on chlorofluorocarbons or "CFCs" were established by developed industrial countries and with other treaty bans to be drawn up by 2010. A 20% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions was targeted for 2005, towards other efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and their results. "

Abstract
This paper analyzes the business climate in the country of Canada, and then considers how this applies specifically to one industry, the airline industry. The writer examines how the industry may be able to compete in the U.S. market. Further, the writer notes some of the issues that prevail today because of changes after 9-11, as well as problems with the competitive environment in Canada.
From the Paper
"The business climate in Canada, as detailed by 'The Economist' and reported by its "Country Briefings" website, suggests that the country currently enjoys a stable political environment even though the ruling party faces some difficulty because of a tarnished image caused by various scandals. The country faces a number of difficult political issues and also has had to address diplomatic differences with the United States, the giant neighbor to the south. The government also recently introduced new spending measures while working to avoid deficit financing. Monetary policy has been tightened by the Bank of Canada, while interest rates in the United States continue to increase. GDP growth increased slightly in 2005 and is forecast to grow slightly less in 2006 "as firm domestic demand offsets the negative impact of a slowdown in the US economy"."

Japanese Canadians in Canada, 2004.
The paper examines the treatment of Japanese Canadians by the Canadian government during and after World War II.

»

Abstract
The paper contends that the treatment of Japanese Canadians by the Canadian government during and after World War II was deplorable. The paper then discusses how the Canadian government acknowledged the racist character of these policies in 1988 and offered redress to the Japanese Canadian population.
From the Paper
"Japanese Canadians during the Second World War were forced to contend with a decades-old torrent of racial discrimination that culminated in their internment and forced labor by the Canadian government. The treatment of Japanese Canadians during this period appears particularly cruel-even sinister-when one considers that of the Canadians evacuated from the Pacific Coast of Canada, most were Canadian-born and naturalized Canadian citizens."

Canadian Health, 2005.
This paper compares and contrasts Canadians' health and the Canadian health care system with that of other OECD countries.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 0 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper points out that in this context it must be acknowledged that cross country comparisons of statistics may sometimes produce more questions than answers. The paper offers an example: If we compare Canada's maternal mortality statistics with those of Norway for 2000 we find that while Canada only had 6 deaths per 100, Norway had 16. The paper considers that Norway's Scandinavian neighbour only had 2 per 100,000, together with the fact that there appears to be no obvious parallel with infant mortality, health expenditure, or number of doctors and therefore must admit that this statistic stands as a puzzling anomaly.
From the Paper
"A comparison and contrast analysis of the health of Canadians and the Canadian health care system with that of other OECD countries is necessarily qualified by the differences in definition and approach to health care issues as a consequence of distinct wellness and health care cultures in different countries. To cite just one example, with respect to acute and long-term bed, the OECD report Health at a Glance: OECD Indicators 2003, notes that caution is required in making cross-country comparisons of long-term care beds."

From the Paper
"Considering the global tire and rubber industry is expected to grow in value, Canadian Tire has a unique opportunity to expand even beyond its current large size. The global market for tires is valued at $28b and grew by more than 2.1% during 2006 (Global, 2006). This market is expected to expand over the next decade. The expected value of the tire market by 2011 is expected to reach a total value of $31b which would be a 10.2% increase over 2006 figures. This is a promising growth market and one in which Canadian Tire can capitalize on."

Abstract
The paper looks at Jack Granatstein's "Who Killed Canadian History?" where he claims that the history of Canada has been seriously damaged by the practice of studying differences rather than commonalities. The paper asserts that Granatstein fails to appreciate that there is ample room for group and particularist histories that do not fit easily within an over-arching historical narrative. The paper maintains that Granatstein fails to recognize that Canadians, living in an evermore diverse society, need to have an ever-expanding and ever-diversifying view of history too.
From the Paper
"In fairness to Jack Granatstein, there are various problems afflicting public memory in Canada - or at least there were in 1998 when his tome was released. For instance, one online source notes that a 1997 Angus Reid poll found only one-third of Canadians knew that Remembrance Day commemorates the end of World War One whereas a scant five percent knew that the Upper and Lower Canada rebellions took place in 1837. More unsettling, given its political relevance today, only 10 percent of Canadians between the ages of 18 and 24 who were contacted by pollsters knew what the Quiet Revolution was all about and 17 percent of respondents - nearly one out of every five - inexplicably claimed Tennessee Williams and Andy Warhol were Canadian. To this melange of error and misunderstanding could be added numerous other instances drawn from the same survey. The end result of all of this, in the view of Dr. Granatstein, will be - may already be fast becoming - disaster."
