Abstract
The present health care system is in urgent need of radical overhaul. This paper presents a model health care system that offers an alternative to a white male dominated biomedical model, which maintains and reinforces social inequality and social injustice. This model is comprehensive and inclusive. It is a model that evolved from one main question about what determines the health of individuals and communities in Canada.
From the Paper
"As government officials and many members of the public are aware, I am an activist and advocate for Native rights. Through my collaboration with First Nations on unresolved land claims and health issues, I am firmly convinced that Native health and the health of other minority groups will not improve until the underlying conditions for these groups are changed."

Abstract
This paper takes an in-depth look at the educational system in Canada with emphasis on the public school system. The writer compares it with other like system and shows how they differ. Topics discussed are curriculum, tuition and standards. The question of which government body is responsible for the education system is also raised.
From the Paper
"Two of the major goals of education are to provide society with the skills and knowledge required for growth, and to give each individual the opportunity for personal development and achievement. The pursuit of these two aims can sometimes conflict, so the Canadian approach to the public education system is founded on coordination, in an attempt to provide education that is diversified, comprehensive, and available to all. The public education system in Canada differs from most countries in that it is composed of ten provincial and three territorial systems, which in addition to controlling public education, is also responsible for denominational schools and private education. The legalities of attendance are common to all thirteen systems, and children are legally required to begin school at the age of six or seven, and must attend until they reach the age of sixteen or seventeen. In order to facilitate this obligation, all public education in Canada, from kindergarten through to grade twelve, is publicly funded and free to all Canadian citizens and permanent residents until the end of secondary school. Post secondary and higher education differs, in that it relies on the payment of tuition fees in all but a handful of cases, such as in Quebec where the general and vocational colleges (CEGEPs) remain publicly funded (Manzer 1994)."

Abstract
The paper relates that in the last few years, the Canadian election system has been revised to reflect the changing and developing nature of Canadian politics. The paper discusses the goal of ensuring that the electoral process retains its plurality and untainted representative character. The paper looks at legislation that ensures equal and fair media access to all officially registered political parties and their candidates. The paper concludes that Canada's electorate appears to be one of the most forward thinking electorates in the developed world.
From the Paper
"Canadian electoral processes are contained in a series of laws that span canonist topics from elections themselves to media, but all combine to form a comprehensive set electoral policies codified through law: Canada Elections Act, Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, the Criminal Code, Income Tax Act, and the Broadcasting Act ("Electoral"). This series of comprehensive laws has been in development since the 1860s following the founding of Canada. As evidence of Canadian election law's ever expanding plurality one need only examine the severe constraints upon who could vote early in the country's history. Initially, only male Caucasians were allowed to vote even this early white male suffrage was limited by certain property restrictions (Studlar pars.4-10). Eventually all adult males were added to the voting eligibility roster with women later being included."

Abstract
This paper examines current sociopolitical attitudes in Canada about cultural diversity, which are generally conducive for achieving a Canadian society that fully accepts multiculturalism. Unfortunately, progress is not being made at an even pace in all areas of the country. It looks at how, in order to address this, Canada's national education system should take the lead in setting a multicultural example for the entire country.
From the Paper
" It is evident that current sociopolitical attitudes in Canada are generally conducive for achieving a Canadian society that fully accepts multiculturalism, but progress is certainly not being made at an even pace in all areas of the country. In order to address this, Canada's national education system should take the lead in setting a multicultural example for the entire country. This can be achieved by cultivating multicultural awareness and acceptance in Canadian classrooms through course content and curricula, while emphasizing that cultural diversity is a beneficial reality that needs to be understood and accepted, not a problem that needs to be resolved.

Online University Education In Canada, 2005.
An examination of online education and overall university participation in Canada.

Abstract
This paper examines the growth in online education across Canada and relates this growth to the growing demand placed upon the higher education industry by Canada's increasing population. It explains how Canada's rapid population growth is largely due to its liberal immigration policies and serving the educational needs of its burgeoning population is a challenge that online education seems more than capable of answering.
The writer points out that online education (OE) is delivered exclusively via the Internet or, alternatively, in tandem with or completely through the use of email or other Internet related technologies. The writer concludes that there is a definite mandate to expand OE across Canada as a way to not only service the needs of a growing population but also to deliver higher education solutions to remote populations in need of these services.

From the Paper
"Across North America and certainly in Canada, the rise in online education programs is roughly comparable to the increase not only in secondary education participation but also the overall number of college/university programs being offered. Online degrees and online education programs, although equivalent in many respects to traditionally formatted distance programs, are differentiated from other distance programs in that they are strictly delivered via the Internet whereas distance programs can be delivered in various other media formats. However, although the format may differ the overall concept is the same: to increase the educational options available to learners who seek or need alternate access options relevant to their education needs."

Abstract
This paper explores Canadian efforts at ending gender inequality in education and addressing the increased role of women in education, especially in male-dominated fields. The paper examines how the Canadian federal and provincial government has endeavored to actively promote equity through legislation and organizations targeted at providing more opportunities for disadvantaged groups.
From the Paper
"The Canadian government, both at federal and provincial levels, has passed legislation, including the Charter of Freedoms and the Education Act, banning gender-based discrimination at all levels of education. However, discrepancies between men and women still exist and require reform. For example, only ten percent of women aged 15 and above in Canada are university graduates. While 52% of undergraduates are women, they comprise only 46% of full-time students enrolled in full-time Masters programs and only 35% of students enrolled in doctoral programs. In post-secondary education, women are severely underrated in mathematics and the sciences, comprising only 28% of students in mathematics and physical sciences and 18% of engineering students."

Abstract
This paper analyzes female education in early Canada, said to be defined by sexism. This essay argues that a range of ideological and social factors - from the ideological cult of domesticity to religious-based sexism to economic factors - contributed to the structural disadvantages that impeded development of female education in Canada for generations.
From the Paper
"Any discussion of the history of female education in the British North American colonies must take into consideration the complexity of the forces that influenced and shaped female education in the different political jurisdictions and contexts that defined British North America and later Canada."

Abstract
This paper explores interactions among formal learning, informal learning, and life conditions and opportunities experienced by Aboriginal people in Canada. It explains that Aboriginal people have many capacities, in the form of skills, knowledge and experience that are given little place or recognition in conventional educational and economic activities. The writer concludes that their educational experiences and desires suggest that all Canadians could benefit from greater integration among community realities, formal learning, and informal learning capacities.

From the Paper
"A great deal of attention has been given in recent years to what is commonly described as an education gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians (Wotherspoon and Butler, 1999). According to 1996 census data, approximately one-third (35 percent) of Canadians aged fifteen and over, compared to more than half (54 percent) of the comparable Aboriginal population, never graduated high school, while 16 percent of the national adult population, and only 4.5 percent of the Aboriginal population, have college degrees (Statistics Canada, 1998). Aboriginal dropout rates are reported to be double those for the general population, and Aboriginal school leavers are about half as likely to return to school later in life (Gilbert et al. 1993: 23)."

Higher Education in Canada, 2005.
This paper maintains that reducing per capita funding for Canadian higher education is necessary.

Abstract
The paper is creative, arguing that per capita funding for higher education in Canada should be reduced till institutions can indicate what their higher operating costs actually involve. The paper contends that at no time have Canadian institutions followed European examples in universities without tuition fees to encourage diverse enrolments. The paper explains that all problems in academics are blamed on 'funding' and yet salary scales remain high and overheads are unjustified. The paper includes a varied bibliography.
From the Paper
"The high cost of higher education in Canada continues to be lamented, at the same time as governments indicate the need for more Canadians to pursue post-secondary education of different kinds. This is often presented in relation to a Canadian labour force that needs to be more 'competitive' within a 'globalized' economy, although Canada imports labour to perform tasks that Canadians will not do (Basok, 2003). Another anomaly is one of encouraging foreign physicians' immigration to a land with a shortage of doctors, and then refusing to allow them to practise, or enabling them to prepare for the Canadian profession."

Abstract
This paper examines in-depth the correlation of a sedentary life style and poor academic achievement while stressing the need for implementing a more aggressive approach to physical and nutritional education in America's school systems which would result in greater academic performance. The writer also discusses how the current physical education programs in the nation's schools vary with the affluence of the neighborhoods.
From the Paper
"The problem with teaching nutrition, for example, lies in Inner city schools, where minorities and children from poor families come to get their one solid meal of the day. How do you teach "nutrition" to such deprived children? And, isn't it a fact that mal-nourished and under-nourished children do badly on exams simply because their bodies cannot keep up, and their attention-spans may be limited if by nothing else than hunger pangs. Over-eating, obese children also tend to have some learning problems, because their over-saturated digestive systems tend to make them logy. However, some elementary nutrition subjects must be taught, and they should be considered part of the Health/Physical Education curriculum."
