Abstract
This is a financial report on Budd Canada, Inc, a company in the business of supplying automotive components, specializing in the production of bumpers, chassis components and light truck frames. It is the writer's recommendation that a banking institution does not consider Budd to be a viable investment risk at this time as it has had a ten year history of increasing sales coupled with even greater decreasing profits. This paper shows how the company's position in the market is precarious.
From the Paper
?This general industry trends also touched Budd Canada. The Corporation reported a $94.2 million dollar net loss as of September 30, 2001. Budd had mixed results this year due to the need to ramp-up production on its new state-of-the-art system in order to meet customer demand. Typically, the introduction of new equipment produces a negative financial effect initially. The 2001 losses were anticipated however early losses were greater than anticipated and a new management team was put into place. Traditional product lines declined, as order shifted to newer product lines. The Budd Company is substantially dependent upon two major customers. These two customers account for 99% of sales and 99% of the accounts receivable balance.?

The NWAC V. Canada Case, 2008.

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.
1,225 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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."

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."

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.
1,256 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 42.95
»
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."

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."

The Underground Railroad to Canada, 2002.

Click here to show/hide summary
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."

Abstract
This paper identifies and analyzes the Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB). It analyzes the policy and discusses its problems. The paper specifically looks at an analysis of the CCTB by Michael Ignatieff, the Canadian Member of Parliament for Etobicoke, Lakeshore and one of the Liberal Party of Canada leadership candidates. It discusses the CCTB according to an article he wrote for The Globe and Mail entitled "A Vision for a More Competitive Canada."
Table of Contents:
Introduction: Policy Under Review
Policy Summary
Problems With the CCTB
Conclusion: Other Options?
From the Paper
"To date, the GNWT has cut the personal income tax levels and maintains one of the lowest corporate taxation regimes in the country (ibid, p. 17). It makes sense that in order to support those who are in need, those who have high financial security ought to be taxes more. At the moment, the ironic truth is that it is those who have the least financial wealth must pay in order to subsidize the CCTB. Indeed, as one detractor commented, the CTB is "more generous to those who do get it than anything in our history" (Shillington, 2000, p. 62). Funds from taxation of those with higher personal incomes and increased corporate taxation would do much to stem this problem. Additional funds may also be taken from the Canada's National Plan of Action for Children initiatives, for example (ibid, p. 17). Until such solutions are implemented, unfortunately families struggling under the CCTB have no alternative to their dire situation."

Reform in Western Canada, 2007.
This paper compares and contrasts Western Canada's way of life with that of Eastern Canada.
3,682 words (approx. 14.7 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 102.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes the Western Canadian worldview and lifestyle and how they differ from Eastern Canada. More liberal in many senses of the word, the paper portrays how Western Canada developed into a bastion of radical thought, inspired in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century by Marxism, populism and the British labor movement. The paper explains how the Reform movement in Western Canada was sparked and fed by a series of interrelated political, economic, social, geographic, historical and existential concerns. The paper explains that what initially distinguished the Western from the Eastern mentality continues to loosely divide the nation: a sense of alienation from national politics and culture.
From the Paper
"Geographical distance prevented the maintenance of social ties between regions even if goods and services could be readily transported and traded on the rail network. Citizens in Western provinces felt cut off continually from Ottawa; their concerns did not reflect those of urban industrialists back East nor those of the already established mining and agricultural communities in central and eastern Canada. The bread basket invited exploitation by big business, as did the fruitful mines of Western Canada."

Should Canada Close its Borders to Migrants?, 2000.
This paper argues that Canada must reform its immigration laws. The writer focuses on the topic of migrants and the necessity of Canada to keep the border open.
1,395 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper develops the argument that Canada's current immigration laws do not work and closing its borders to migrants would not evoke a positive response for the national interest of Canada. The writer argues that the international image of Canada in the global village of civilized and humanitarian nations depends upon its accessibility to foreigners.
From the Paper
"Does it follow then that Canada must admit anyone or everyone who calls at our doorsteps for entrance irrespective of our own national interest priorities. Again, the enlightened approach to the issue would be to admit those that are deemed to be able to serve our national interest, as the current Canadian federal immigration regulation would have implied. Or to grant entrance to victims of political oppression in their homeland by brutal authoritarian regimes or permit foreign migrants to stay here on human rights and compassionate grounds, such is the strategic orientation of our federal refugee programme."

Poverty in Canada: The Research of Dennis Raphael, 2008.
An analysis of the writer's awareness of poverty in Canada and recommendations for action, following a reading of Dennis Raphael's book, "Poverty and Policy in Canada."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Dennis Raphael's book, "Poverty and Policy in Canada." It specifically focuses on the writer's new-found awareness of the pervasiveness of poverty in Canada and what factors - political and economic - appear to be perpetuating it. Finally, the paper looks at some actions ordinary Canadians can take to reduce poverty in their country.
From the Paper
"With the political and business communities not helpful in the war on poverty, it is clear that the general public will have to take matters into its own hands by loudly supporting organizations and interest groups committed to social welfare reform. At the same time, people need to contact corporations and politicians and pressure them to do more to alleviate poverty in this land. Of course, simply complaining about poverty is the wrong approach - and, in any case, a truncated one. Instead, the avenue Canadians should pursue is to take from the aforementioned parties something they want: in the case of businesses, that would be consumers; in the case of politicians, that would be votes. Thus, concerned citizens should boycott selected organizations that will not assist workers and which enthusiastically embrace outsourcing. At the same time, people should use the ballot box to throw out governments that are unresponsive to the poverty issue. This approach, which is really a two-pronged approach, is the best one for the significant reason that interest groups rarely move off of a position unless pressure compels them to do so."

Canada-US Softwood Lumber Agreement, 2007.
An analysis of the advantages and disadvantages to Canada of the Softwood Lumber Agreement between Canada and the United States.
1,553 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 16 sources, MLA, $ 50.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the Softwood Lumber Agreement between Canada and the United States, which aims to resolve a longstanding trade dispute between Canada and the United States. It describes the advantages and disadvantages of the agreement, as well as the interests of the provincial and federal governments. The paper also discusses the history of the dispute and the role of the Quebec Forest Industry Council.
From the Paper
"This approach to lobbying the federal and provincial governments becomes understandable when we view other documents on the QFIC website, such as its statement of condemnation of the previous Liberal government in Ottawa in November 2005 for not doing enough to supply aid to the Quebec lumber industry. In this the QFIC reiterated to the federal government that the member companies of the organization were suffering under the current ongoing dispute, and that approximately US$1.2 billion in export duties charged by the United States government lay in the United States; money that the QFIC asserted was not only rightfully the money of the exporters, but that it also was desperately needed by many struggling companies in the industry in Quebec (QFIC). As an institutional interest group with a range of members, a collective memory and extensive resources (Stanbury and Moore 229), the QFIC represents a potent force in this particular area as may be seen in the Bloc Quebecois decision to support the minority federal government and insure passage of the agreement."
