Abstract
This paper was published as part of a policy forum comparing and contrasting the Canadian and U.S. health care systems. While an overall analysis of the paper would find many interesting and well-substantiated points of comparison between the health care systems of the two nations - all of which support the view of Canada as having the better system - there is a clear, nationalistic bias in the paper that somewhat diminishes its impact.

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."

Abstract
The paper discusses Canada's primary health care struggles in meeting the needs of children with mental illness. The paper illustrates the challenges faced by nurses but shows how they are endeavoring to to meet these challenges. The paper discusses how nurses will be participating in new roles that encompass early child development, education, social services, child protection and mental disease prevention.
From the Paper
"Canadians requiring health care typically contact a primary health care provider such as a physician, nurse, dietician or social worker who works collaboratively with other professionals. Services that are rendered at the initial point of contact within the health care system are referred to as primary health care services and outline the basis of our Medicare system (Canadian Nurses Association, 1995). A strong primary health care system is vital to sustaining the future. Nonetheless, there are some worrisome health trends in Canada particularly seen in rising rates of obesity, injury, asthma, risky behaviors, sexually transmitted diseases, poverty and mental illness in our children and adolescents (Canadian Council on Social Development, 2006)."

Abstract
This paper presents the argument that the best health care system for Canada would be a mixed system - with both private or public features. The paper examines pros and cons of both the public and the private health care systems in order to determine their best features.
From the Paper
"Canada's health-care system ranks among the best in the world but it falls far behind most European and Middle East nations because of the financial burden it imposes on users. Because Canadians have to pay so much taxes, Canada rates only 30th place in the first international analysis of health care in the world's 191 countries.1 It is often argued that Canada should drop the public health system and follow in the US' footsteps by privatizing its health care system, but the US's health care system is arguably flawed with almost 15 per cent of its population lacking any type of health insurance and is ranked only in 37th place in the international analyses of health care in the world.2 "

Abstract
Although Canada has universal medicare, differences exist in the quality and access to care for different people. There are many societal, cultural and geographic factors that influence access to health care in Canada. This problem is getting worse because of the impact of cost-cutting measures on the Canadian health care system. The more that the Canadian government becomes preoccupied with cutting the deficit, the more that unequal access to health care becomes a reality.

From the Paper
"The Canadian health care system is broken. This condition is not an unusual one in health care, unfortunately. Similar difficulties exist in countries with similar systems, such as Finland and Sweden. But broken health care systems are not limited to those countries with socialized medicine. Other countries, such as the United States and Mexico, also have difficulty providing consistently adequate health care in a timely fashion to all of their citizens. How do the problems within the Canadian health care correlate with those of other countries? "

Abstract
In recent months, the furor over the release of Karla Homolka has sparked heated debate and calls for a review of the Canadian justice system. The following paper examines three contentious areas of the Canadian legal system that seem in desperate need of a reassessment. The first of these revolves around the growing perception that the Canadian judiciary is arrogant, perhaps even irresponsible, and simply unresponsive to the concerns of ordinary Canadians. The second area revolves around the treatment of aboriginal peoples within the Canadian justice system and the third and last area revolves around the difficulty that Canadian law-makers and justices are having in reconciling the somewhat amorphous multiculturalism they embrace in theory with the fundamental liberal democratic tenets that under-gird the Canadian justice system.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The current state of affairs in Canada's healthcare systems are not very satisfying, both in the eyes of consumers and healthcare employees. The Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada has reported several intimidating results related to staffing in Canada's healthcare systems, including announcements that Halifax's Capital District health Authority is in need of 175 more nurses to meet the demands in its hospitals. Additionally, there are reports that the same health district authority canceled a successful liver-transplant program because there were no surgeons to perform the operations, with similar tragedies being reported across the country. Goals to improve this area of Canada's healthcare system would be that governments and healthcare employers should change laws, regulations, and employment agreements to better match healthcare practitioners' jobs to their training and that the government should invest in increasing the number of doctors and nurses working in Canada as well. Furthermore, governments should use financial incentives to better distribute healthcare practitioners between and within provinces."

The Canadian Training System, 2008.
This paper discuses the Canadian training system, which is shaped by the human capital theory.

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.

Planning a Future
Concluding Remarks
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."
