Abstract
This paper explains that devising a direct coercive intervention to promote Canadian trade is a complicated task because Canada's participation in such international forums, as the World Trade Organization and NAFTA, limit the choice of direct and coercive interventions as tariff barriers. The author points out that the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade may be well advised to consider an indirect intervention policy. The paper relates that the voluntary nature of this policy is attractive enough to acquire widespread adherence to boost significantly Canadian trade and that its indirect characteristics minimize Canadian exposure to retaliatory measures by its trading partners.
From the Paper
"It must be acknowledged that devising a direct, coercive intervention to promote Canadian trade is a complicated task given the fact that Canada's participation in such international forums as the World Trade Organization and NAFTA limit the choice of such direct and coercive interventions as tariff barriers. However, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade may be well advised to consider indirect interventions that, while voluntary, are attractive enough to acquire widespread adherence and thus may significantly boost Canadian trade while their indirect characteristics minimize Canadian exposure to retaliatory measures by our trading partners."

Abstract
This paper reviews Michael Hart's book, "A Trading Nation: Canadian Trade Policy from Colonialism to Globalization" in order to argue the case that Canadian trade policy is often created around subjective and biased economic information that create Canada's trade policy. The paper further analyzes how Hart uses both trade policy and empirical economic data in his research, rather than using market fluctuations and government interaction, to define how Canada's trade economy will function for the best interest of the nation.
From the Paper
"Finally, Hart uses trade policy to define how Canada will co-exist with America as a major trade partner in multilateral trade policy. Although the 1995 AFTA agreement helped to open the borders with American trade, the actually trade policy issues within the agreement were often not in the best interest of Canada. Often the issue of privatization in the American economy helped to defy the "openness" of the agreement, which helps to solidify Hart's thesis of data that stays close with policy initiatives. In many ways, the data revolving around Canada's markets and the way that politics plays into the mix, does not reflect the serious issues that limit the true autonomy of Canada's part in the NAFTA."

Canada's Trade Policy, 2007.

Abstract
The paper examines Michael Hart's thesis that Canadian trade policy has too often been shaped by political considerations rather than economic ones and this trend has led to economic dislocation that could have been avoided. The writer agrees with Hart in general, noting his lucid arguments in favor of free trade and his especially cogent argument in favor of NAFTA. The writer concludes that Michael Hart has made a valuable contribution to existing literature.
From the Paper
"Hart's defense of his thesis really begins early on in his work. For one thing, Hart notes that Canada has actually been strengthened in some respects by a heavily-regulated international trade situation insofar as such an arrangement actually makes it less vulnerable to unilateral and arbitrary decisions in Washington or elsewhere (8). Simply on its surface, this assertion makes a great deal of sense: Canada is a nation of just over 30 million souls; the United States has about ten times that number and possibly a 100 times the economic clout world-wide. Furthermore, other nations like Russia, China, India and even "western European" nations like France, Germany and Great Britain all have considerably greater human and capital resources than does Canada."

Canadian International Trade, 2008.

Abstract
This paper notes that Canada is renowned for its enthusiastic attitude towards international trade and its involvement in organizations, such as the WTO, NAFTA and other regional trading blocs. The paper then explains that this attitude has been tempered recently, however, due to concerns over the validity of such free trade agreements. The author points out that, even though existing free trade agreements are insufficient because of issues of environmental corruption, favor towards U.S. domestic policies and an openness to legislative misinterpretation, in the growing environment of globalization, it is apparent that, for Canada, international trade is here to stay. The paper states that it is undeniable that the U.S. is a powerful ally for Canada and that a positive relationship must be maintained despite political, social and economic problems.

Canadian Enthusiasm for International Trade
Free Trade Agreements Seem Confusing - What are they All About?
Legislation Concerns: Doesn't NAFTA Benefit the U.S. more than Canada?
Should Canada-U.S. Trade Relations even be Encouraged?
What about Environmental Issues?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"However, NAFTA was initially embraced by the Canadians for a number of reasons. It gave a more comprehensive definition of investment than the Canada-U.S. FTA. Unlike this former agreement, it also applied to sub-national governments and municipalities on top of national governments. It was also much clearer on issues such as establishing a mechanism for the settlement of investment disputes, outlining procedures and time frames for claims, the process of appointing tribunal members and the issuing and enforcing of awards."

Abstract
This paper provides a short history of the Hudson' Bay Company and the North West Company. In spite of an aggressive entry into the market, the North West Company was not able to sustain its initial price advantage when the Hudson's Bay Company responded to this competitive threat. The superior management and financing of the Hudson's Bay Company also contributed to its survival as the primary firm in the Canadian fur trade market after 1850.

Canadian Free Trade, 2008.
An examination of free trade between Canada and the United States.

Abstract
This paper examines free trade between Canada and America. It explains that in the post-Cold War era, the recalibration of world markets and political relationships has instigated the breakdown of barriers to the thorough implementation of free trade. The paper further discusses how under the philosophical banner of globalization (taking the form of economic alliances crossing over international borders) free trade has been a primary determinant in the relationship which currently binds and frustrates Canadian-United States relations. The paper points out that the breakdown of trade barriers between Canada and the United States is a process which is producing collectively positive results and which must be intensified through a strengthening of Canadian identification with U.S economic, political and legislative character traits. In conclusion, the paper shows that though the influence of the United States is far greater than that of Canada, its current preeminence as a trade partner with the largest market in the world demonstrates that Canada does hold some sway in the relationship and if it is capable of moving forward with free trade while defending the integrity of its social, political and ideological identity, Canada may yet enjoy an equitable market expansion into the United States.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In 1989, Canada and the United States entered into their first Free Trade Agreement, which began the long process of removing tariffs from importation of goods between the two states. With its initiation, a sharp divide emerged in the Canadian public, representative of the same rift forming throughout the world. The advocacy for free trade enjoyed great strength amongst Canada's elite, whose interest in their nation's commercial and political structures saw new opportunities for access to an enormous U.S. market. In contrast, labor groups, environmental groups and human rights activists objected strenuously to policy which appeared to favor industrial development at the expense of public interest."

Abstract
It must be acknowledged that the manager of Spaulding Books Canada, the business in the given example, faces a difficult challenge in supporting a trade policy that would increase the profitability of the business given the currently precarious financial position of Spaulding Books. This being said, this essay argues that a policy that combines an equity tax credit with a raising of the foreign ownership restriction in Canadian publishing could attract foreign investment and provide access to new technologies and markets.

The Fur Trade in Early Canadian History, 2007.
An analysis of the impact that the fur trade had in defining the social, political and economic order of early Canada, with particular reference to the Native Canadians.

Abstract
This paper explores the economic history of the fur trade in early Canada with particular reference to the Native Canadian peoples of the time. It argues that this fur trade profoundly reshaped the social and economic order of Native Canadian societies to an even greater degree than it shaped the economic relations of European settlement in early Canada. It then shows how the trade defined the social, political and economic order of early Canada in a manner profoundly different from that of the early United States.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
The Fur Trade and Early European-Indian Contacts
The European and Native Canadian Struggle for Control
The Impact of the Fur Trade on Indian-European Attitudes
Points of Contact: The Fur Trade and Inter-Racial Marriage
Later Developments
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In conclusion, it is clear that the fur trade played an enormous role in the early history of Canada. The economics of this trade not only provided the impetus for more enduring European contacts with Aboriginals, but also gave both sides good reason to maintain friendly relations for the sake of self-interest. It was the cycle of these trading relationships that led to Canadian traders to move further into the heart of the Continent in an effort to bypass their often sophisticated Indian trading partners. While such moves proved to be invariably in vain, they did support European settlement and expansion in comparatively peaceful interactions with the region's aboriginal populations. From this perspective, it may be said with little or no exaggeration that the economics of the fur trade defined the relations between Europeans and Canadian Indians and, in the long term, the fundamental characteristics of Canada today."

Abstract
This paper explores the changes and continuities in Canadian foreign policy between 1990 and 2003 by focusing on four significant international event. The writer discusses the events of the first Gulf War of 1990-91; the Kosovo Crisis of the late 1990s; the war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq. This paper argues that Canadian levels of participation in each affair were determined more by a sense of "Canadian" values - and a realization of the limits of Canadian power - than by any other group of factors.
From the Paper
"Canadian foreign policy - at least since the dawn of the 1990s - may best be described as confused. Despite our lofty rhetoric about making a difference in the affairs of states, Canada's long-time cannibalization of its armed forces has too often reduced it to a bit player in peace-keeping operations - and in world affairs more generally. This paper will explore Canadian foreign policy decisions vis-a-vis four recent international events - the Gulf War of 1990-91, the 1999 Kosovo War, the 2001 War in Afghanistan, and the controversial decision in 2003 to stay away from any military entanglements in Iraq."

"HUMAN RIGHTS IN CANADIAN FOREIGN POLICY: AN ANALYTICAL ASSESSMENT WITH RECOMMENDED POLICY CHANGES
Introduction
Canada enjoys a positive international reputation in relation to human rights. The world generally perceives Canada as a country with a human face that protects the human rights of its own citizens while pursuing international relations through policies designed to promote human rights in all countries. Within Canada, however, political and social factions disagree with respect to both the comprehensiveness and the effectiveness of Canada's accommodation of human rights objectives in its foreign policy (Black, 2001).
This paper examines the issue of the comprehensiveness and the effectiveness of Canada's accommodation of human rights ..."

Abstract
This paper reviews the defining characteristics of the Canadian government's public policies regarding immigration and settlement in recent years, and the emphasis upon the economic value to Canada of immigrants and immigration. This essay argues, that if one examines Canadian immigration and settlement policy in a larger historical context, one can recognize how both racism and sexism have been played important roles as primary factors in shaping these policies.

Abstract
This paper looks at the evolution of the Canadian immigration policy since the Second World War. Specifically, it discusses the dramatic shift which took place in the 1960s as Canada began to move away from its old preferential immigration policy under the Pearson government. Further, the paper analyzes how political, economic and demographic factors created a remarkable amount of momentum for policies which opened the doors (and kept them open) for non-European arrivals from the latter 1960s onward.
From the Paper
"Lastly, Canada has moved substantially towards an immigration policy that permits family reunification for all immigrants - especially global south immigrants - with very few restrictions. In light of the fact that so many of today's immigrants are non-European (and, as noted previously, this has been the case since at least the middle-1970s), the end result is that this bit of Canadian policy-making has bolstered the already-high numbers of non-European groups within Canada. In the end, it would seem evident that successive Canadian governments - whether Conservative or Liberal - have embraced multicultural immigration because the swiftly-changing demographics of the land (and a new political landscape) leaves them no choice but to indulge non-Caucasian and non-European citizens."

Canadian Immigration Policy, 2008.

Abstract
This paper looks at Canada's immigration policy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and argues that Canada's racist immigration policies towards the Chinese were also instrumentalist in the sense that certain types of Chinese were allowed into the country if it was felt they could benefit business interests. The paper explores some of the controversies which compelled politicians at both levels of government to act as they did.
From the Paper
"The simple reality is that Canadian immigration policy during the early years of the twentieth century was driven as much by economic and practical considerations as it was driven by racial and/or cultural considerations - albeit, at least in the case of the Chinese, these items still played a role in the determination of who entered Canada and who did not. For example, Clifford Sifton pursued an immigration policy that sought out farmers from Eastern Europe on the grounds that a) they would be good farmers and diligent labourers; and b) their experiences on the rugged Canadian farmland - experiences shared by most other Canadians - would gradually allow for their assimilation into the larger English-Canadian community (Knowles, para.4)."
