Abstract
This paper explains the basic approach to the exclusionary law in Canada and then compares and contrasts Canada's exclusionary law with America's exclusionary law. The paper also looks at some of the problems created by the exclusionary law and the lack of satisfaction with this law that is generally expressed by the Canadian population.
From the Paper
"Professor Wigmore?s point is well taken. The fact that a police officer breaches a guilty person?s ?rights? does not erase that person?s guilt for the crime he committed. A murderer is no less a murderer because a police officer failed to read the murderer his right to counsel. The community has an interest both in upholding the Constitution and in bringing guilty persons to justice for their crimes. Rather than finding ways to vindicate both interests directly, Americans ?let the criminal go free because the constable blundered?. To most people, this is a bizarre, unjust and unacceptable outcome. It does little to enhance anyone?s confidence in the criminal justice system. It is also debatable whether the American exclusionary rule has actually promoted, rather than deterred police misconduct in that country. It turns the criminal justice system into a bizarre and at times, macabre, game."

Abstract
This paper explains that social exclusion is one of the ways in which social inequalities are expressed within urban areas. The author points out that residents are grouped together according to a number of factors including socio-economic status, race, gender and even age. The paper relates that those individuals with few economic resources, limited social capital or belonging to the wrong gender or race end up being excluded from the social process that ultimately shapes urban areas. The author underscores that urban sociology fits into this field of study because these activities determine the shape of the city, which in turn affects the behavior of individuals. The paper states that the simplest form of social exclusion is that there is no space for the groups that are being excluded, such as the homeless.
From the Paper
"Public spaces are enclosed because they have economic value. However, the economic interests of corporations and other members of society are entwined with political and social interests. As certain economic, social and political interests come to dominate public spaces, certain social elements must be excluded. This is a perfect example of how the social processes involved in the city ultimately change the physical nature of the city. These changes in physical structure ultimately result in further social change. This clearly demonstrates the relationship between social exclusion and urban sociology."

Abstract
This paper attempts to investigate different types of solutions to the obstacle of synchronizing multiple processes in a multiprocessor system while retaining shared data integrity between concurrent processes working on that shared data. It discusses how the works presented in the paper are relevant and significant because there is a growing need for faster and more efficient algorithms that deal with inter-process communication and mutual exclusion.
Outline:
Abstract
Introduction
Blocking Algorithms
Blocking Algorithm Problems
A Non-Blocking Algorithm
The Future of Mutual Exclusion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Fundamentally, shared data access management plays a crucial role in parallel processing within multiprocessor computing systems. "The problem of mutual exclusion is that of guaranteeing that certain sections of code will not be executed by more than one process simultaneously" [Kesteloot, 1995]. "Mutual exclusion algorithms are used to resolve conflicting accesses to shared resources by asynchronous, concurrent processes" [Anderson, 2001]. In single processor (uniprocessor) systems, mutual exclusion is reasonably implemented by temporarily disabling interrupts to ensure that access and potential modification to the shared data is only achieved by exactly one thread of execution at a time without disruption.

Gender and Exclusion in the U.S. Constitution, 2002.
This essay examines the privileging of heterosexual norms and traditions in the renowned case of "Bowers v. Hardwick".

Abstract
This paper examines how the Supreme Court?s decision negating ?a fundamental right to engage in homosexual sodomy? is rooted not in legal tradition but in an implicit need to preserve Judeo-Christian and heterosexual values. By looking at the reasons behind the Bowers v. Hardwick decision, this paper studies how the law is often used as a double-edged sword, to enhance the privileged position of certain groups of society at the expense of the needs of others.
From the Paper
"Bowers v. Hardwick centers around respondent Hardwick, who was arrested for violating the Georgia statute prohibiting acts of sodomy between homosexuals. Hardwick then brought suit in Federal District court, asserting that by criminalizing consensual sodomy in the privacy of the bedroom, the Georgia statute violated the constitutional right to privacy (Bowers v. Hardwick). Hardwick charged that homosexual activity is ?a private and intimate association? and should therefore not be subject to state regulation, as guaranteed by both the Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments. The Federal Court upheld Hardwick?s argument, but the case was remanded to the Court of Appeals and eventually, to the Supreme Court (Bowers v. Hardwick)."

Abstract
This essay argues that distribution of state assets in post-communist societies repeated already established stratification system by using two types of privilege among the groups:
1) either imposing power due to the occupational position, or
2) manipulation of informational resources among interest groups.
From the Paper
"Definition of social stratification system in industrial or post-industrial society is much more complicated than in socialist societies. Usually stratification refers to inequalities among people concerning different aspects: 1) distribution of goods, 2) power relations, 3) mobility possibilities etc. ?The study of social stratification is the study of how different groupings or strata relate to one another. One group may own and enjoy more economic resources than another, or it may be held in higher esteem, or it may be in a position to order other groups around? (P. Saunders, 1990: 2). Stratification system differs in different societies even in our century. There are various patterns of relations between individuals and groups, which could be determined by cultural heritage or traditions. Despite these differences stratification system usually refers to hierarchical order of groups, which are called classes. The changes in social stratification system appear also within time perspective. If in pre-industrial societies class division was mainly due to the property rights and wealth, class position within stratification system in industrial and post-industrial societies is defined due to more than one attribute of power or wealth. ??Knowledge and education, it is said, have become more important than ownership of property or wealth per se in determining a person?s life chances? ( H. R. Kerbo, 1996: 75). From this point of view one could argue that property rights, private ownership lost its power in determining individuals position in social stratification system. Thus this argument can be very easy denied. Property in modern industrial society loses only some of the weight in determining individual?s or class?s position in stratification system, due to emerging new attributes accounting for its place in hierarchical system of a society."

Abstract
Because of this, the educational system indoctrinates students to accept the status quo. In many respects, therefore, the educational system engages in a process of social control. It limits the options of many groups in society.

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.

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."

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."

Canada's 21st Century Challenges, 2008.
An argument that the challenges facing Canada in the twenty-first century are due to Canada's ties with the United States.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how Canada currently enjoys many advantages over other nations, but faces challenges that are bound inextricably with Canada continuing to strengthen its ties to the United States. The paper explains that with Canada's economy and security being more tightly bound to the United States, there is a risk of taking on more of the American problems as well. The paper asserts that Canada would be better off if it looked to other countries for new trade and investment. The paper is of the opinion that with more economic independence, political independence will follow and Canada's international image will be less coloured by the United States' foreign policy and the acrimony it generates.
From the Paper
"The Canadian Prime Minister, Wilfred Laurier, said that the twenty-first century would be Canada's century. In many ways, the new millennium looks bright for our country. Canada currently enjoys many advantages over other nations, including a relatively peaceful social climate, an educated workforce, resource riches, technological might, and international good will. However, regarding this final point, there are difficult challenges that lay ahead. These challenges are bound inextricably with Canada continuing to strengthen its ties to the United States."

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."

Abstract
The escaped slaves who fled through the Underground Railroad to Canada hardly found the promised land they might have sought or expected, but their experience in Canada was invariably better than they had had as slaves in the South or as frightened and endangered fugitives in the North. The paper shows that, at its worst, Canada offered a more free and humane life than did the South under the horrors of slavery. Canada itself was never a major player in the slave trade, although slavery was legal in the nation until well into the 19th century. The paper shows that Canada outlawed slavery more than twenty-five years before it was declared illegal in the United States, and its outlawing did not cause the national division it caused in the United States. The paper discusses how the "promised land" of Canada was still marked by racism and resistance to the influx of slaves fleeing the United States. While some blacks returned to the United States after the Civil War and the end of slavery, many remained in Canada and both benefited from the better conditions in that country (even after the end of slavery in the United States) and contributed to the culture and society of their new nation, Canada. The paper includes an annotated bibliography.
From the Paper
"There is no doubt that a great number of slaves fled to Canada in the hope of finding a better life, which they did indeed find. The greatest period of flight to Canada by slaves was the decade from 1850 to just before the start of the Civil War. For example, the black population of New Brunswick doubled to 1600 in the decade in question, and by 1861 blacks in Nova Scotia made up 2% of the population and Canada West's black population had quadrupled from a decade earlier (St. James 1). Clearly, this is a sign that life in Canada was indeed an improvement over life under slavery in the United States or even over life in the North as runaway slaves. If this had not been the case, and if life were not much better in Canada, news would have reached either the fugitive slaves or their helpers in the Underground Railroad in the United States and immigration to Canada would have ceased or been reduced significantly."
