Abstract
The paper reviews the Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Agency of Canada (PSEPC) and the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) in order to assess if these organizations are infringing upon the privacy of Canadians and whether this infringement is justifiable. The paper discusses the Canadian Constitution and how the new security regime has the potential to undermine certain sections of it, posing risks to privacy rights.
From the Paper
"There can be little doubt that national security has become a major preoccupation of the Canadian government in light of the events of 9/11. According to the Canadian government - and to similar materials contained in our course notes - the national security plan emerging from that traumatic event is explicitly committed to protecting Canadians at home and where they reside abroad; the plan also mandates that the federal government do whatever it can to ensure Canada does not become a base for terrorist threats directed against allies - most notably the United States (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada, "Securing an Open Society: Canada's National Security Policy," para.1-5)."

Abstract
This essay deals with four areas which are causing Canadian National Parks to disappear--extreme government cut-backs, identity crisis, improper management and ecosystem destruction. It also suggests ways in which the government can change its polices to save these parks.
From the Paper
"Canadians look at the infamous National Park?s landscape and see a vast and beautiful range of Canada at it?s best. Unfortunately, what one sees is often deceiving. The truth is that the state of Canada?s National Parks is alarming. Entire species are disappearing, vegetation is being destroyed by development and urbanization, and the pristine lakes and rivers are being contaminated by pollution. The Canadian Government has not been fulfilling its managerial role in protecting the essential resources that are comprised in Canada?s National Parks. The problems that have generated in the Park?s system have often dismissed due to their seemingly insignificant characteristics. Unfortunately, all of the insignificant problems joined together to create a devastating picture of dyfunctionality of the National Parks. There are four pivotal points that have caused the Park?s disastrous spiral aimed at oblivion. Extreme cuts to the Parks Canada?s budget has forced them to compromise their principles on how the parks should be run, and resorted to doing what they could. Parks Canada has found itself in an extreme identity crisis, as financial pressures are pitting conflicting philosophies against one another. The Canadian Government is the root which many, if not all of the posing threats the National Parks has emerged from. Their improper management and mentality has potentially shattered any chance of Canada?s ecosystem to flourish. Until the Canadian Government stops seeing the nation?s national Parks yet another way to generate a clever income for their institution, the parks will continue to lose their ecological integrity until they fade from man?s sight completely."

Canada's National Identity, 2007.
This paper examines Philip Resnick's work "The European Roots of Canadian Identity".
2,736 words (approx. 10.9 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 81.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses Philip Resnick's essay on the European influences, both historical and contemporary, that have helped shape Canada's political and social culture. The paper explains how he argues that instead of using the United States as the model of comparison when discussing Canadian national identity, Canadians should look to their European counterparts with whom they share many similarities. The paper labels Resnick as a major voice in the debate on Canadian unity and nationhood.
From the Paper
"What makes a text worthy of such thorough analysis, requiring the full literary energies, of over one hundred and fifty students? The answer becomes quite clear from the onset of reading Philip Resnick's essay on the Eurpean influences, both historical and contemporary, that have helped shape Canada's political and social culture. The European Roots of Canadian Identity is a thought provoking and in fact quite convincing essay on the question that will probably haunt our national psyche indefinitely (perhaps a defining national feature in itself): the question of Canadian identity. Resnick, a staunch Canadian nationalist, is this country's main proponent of Euro-Canadianism."

Nationalism in Canada, 2006.
This paper maintains that the diversity of Canada does not stand in the way of a national identity.

Abstract
The paper discusses how Canada is a country that may be seen either as rich in diversity, or as challenged by diversity. Whatever one's take, the paper contends that the truth is that the country is as diverse as it is large. In this essay, it is argued that although this results in intense challenges to Canada's existence as a single, unified nation, it nevertheless remains true that Canada is a viable nation-building project. The paper maintains that despite diversity and despite various claims to distinctness, Canada maintains its integrity as a single, unified nation, with a discernible national identity that is unlike any other.

Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between globalization and security using the state and the individual as units of analysis. It argues that globalization has varying consequences on different actors. The paper challenges the assumption that globalization has a direct impact on state security. It shows that global processes challenge state security in an indirect manner but have direct effects on human security.

Appendix
From the Paper
"Globalization can be seen both as a historical project and as a process that affects social relations of peoples, groups and states.(Bello, 1998) It is conceived as a historical conjuncture of the modernist project (McMichael 1996) that promotes the ideological framework of neoliberalism (Kinvall 2002: 5-6). The principles of free market economics constitute the policy package called the Washington Consensus - trade liberalization, financial deregulation, privatization, and inflation and currency exchange stability policies - which became the cornerstone of structural adjustment policies (SAPs) implemented in many economies. While Latin America and Africa have severely suffered from neoliberal globalization, Asia stands as an exceptional case of successful integration in the global economy (Dittmer 2002). Asia Pacific projected itself to the world as the most dynamic region characterized by growth with equity: rapid and sustained economic growth, equitable distribution of incomes, and dramatic improvements in human welfare (Rigg 2003: Table 1.3: 10; World Bank 1993)."

Canada's First Nations and the Mass Media, 2007.
This paper analyzes the representation of Canada's Aboriginals in Canadian newspapers.

Abstract
The paper focuses on the time when Elijah Harper's single vote in Manitoba blocked the constitutional reform package known as Meech Lake. The paper explains how Harper's action elevated the concerns and interests of Canada's First Nations to prominence on the Canadian political scene. The paper then examines Thomas Walkom's article "A Tragic Death Puts Meech into Perspective" that highlights the Canadian mass media's view of the First Nations of Canada. The paper shows how the mass media's perspective is a complex one which, at one and the same time, mingles respect and sympathy for peoples of the First Nations with a view that these peoples are inevitably "wards" of the Canadian state.
From the Paper
"Mass media analysis is invariably complex in that media messages are often conveyed on more than one level in a mass media text. Consider, for example, Thomas Walkom's moving article "A Tragic Death Puts Meech into Perspective" from the Toronto Star. This article is profoundly disturbing in its depiction of the tragic death of a young Aboriginal woman - Noreen Munro - on the streets of Toronto where she lived homeless, while the constitutional debate known as Meech Lake continued. While this article is moving in describing the tragic end of this young woman's life, it is unusual in how Walkom suggests that this death suggests how pointless are the constitutional talks then underway in Ottawa. He concludes that such conferences should be limited to one in a century (Walkom)."

Canada?s First Nations and Religion, 2004.
Discusses the spiritual conversion of Canada's native population by Christian missionaries and governing bodies.
850 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the idea that the conversion of Canada?s First Nations to Christianity and the disenfranchisement of native spiritual religious practices were and continue to be an essential part of nation building in Canada. The paper is presented in a three-point argument: Missionaries provided valuable information on the native populations to the colonizing government; missionaries undermined native religious and political structures and banned native practices and values that were in conflict with Western ideals, and finally, today, much of the disregard for native customs and religions continue as the government fails to enact legislation to protect Aboriginal religion.
From the Paper
"Furthermore, the missionaries were the first Europeans to study and learn the languages of the native populations. For example, Recollect Father Chrestien LeClercq, who was stationed in Quebec in 1675, learned the spoken and symbolic language of the Micmacs, allowing for an accelerated process of missionary conversion (Krieger). This knowledge of language and familiarity with the native ways made the missionaries a valuable source of information during the later military conflicts with native populations."

Quebec Nationalism vs. Canadian Nationalism, 2006.
A discussion on why nationalism is stronger in Quebec than it is in the rest of Canada.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
It is very clear that nationalism is stronger in Quebec than it is in the rest of Canada. While Quebec remains a province of federal Canada, the question of seceding from Canada and becoming an independent country is never far from the agenda of most politicians in Quebec, and generates immense patriotic fervor throughout Quebec. This factor makes Quebec entirely different from other Canadian provinces. For example, we never hear talk of British Columbia seceding from Canada and becoming the Republic of British Columbia. In order to understand this peculiar situation, this paper investigates Canada's past and, specifically, the history of Quebec with Canada.

Database Security.
This paper discusses the goals of security and common security threats, including Microsoft SQL Server security techniques and web application security measures.
2,715 words (approx. 10.9 pages), 18 sources, APA, $ 81.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that database security is the protection of the database against unauthorized access, either intentional or accidental; security countermeasures should combat threats and the outcomes of such threats. The author points out that physical security means that a SQL Server system is running in a controlled-access environment in which only approved personnel have physical access to the system; whereas, appropriate physical security means that SQL Server should be isolated from web infrastructures and direct Internet access. The paper concludes that network and operating system security are not sufficient to defend against dynamic threats to a web application; therefore, database and web application server techniques are a necessity, but even with these extra layers of security in place, there's no such thing as a full-proof security system.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Access control prevents unauthorized persons from accessing a system to either obtain information or make changes. Like most databases, Microsoft SQL Server handles access control by allowing the creation of user accounts and passwords to control log-in. Additionally, Microsoft SQL Server supports the use of Windows NT Integrated Security where users are identified to the database by their Windows NT user accounts rather than user ID and password to access the database. Chapple states that this approach offers both the benefit of shifting the burden of account management to the network administration staff and it provides the ease of a single sign-on to the end user."

Canadian National Transportation, 2005.
This paper discusses the legislative shifts in Canada's national transportation policies from the late 1960s onward.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines some of the major changes in Canada with regard to its national transportation policies since the late 1960s. As a starting point, the writer uses the National Transportation Act (1967) to mark the beginning of a new era in transportation policy in Canada. This discussion illustrates that the move towards privatization of Canada's transportation network has been part of a broad legislative pattern in Canada intended to reduce operational costs, improve efficiency and insure safety among the transportation networks of the Canadian nation.
From the Paper
"Without question, national transportation networks in Canada have been crucial to the development of the nation since at least the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Physically, Canada is the second largest nation in the world, coming in only behind the Russian Federation. Given a nation of that size, with metropolitan regions literally stretched across the width of North America, it is no wonder that national transportation policy should play such a primary role in Canadian national policy. The purpose of this essay is to examine some of the major changes that have occurred in Canada with regard to its national transportation policies since the late 1960s."

National Emergency Management, 2007.
This paper examines national emergency laws in Japan, the United States, Canada, China and India and what they reveal about national concerns and agendas.

Abstract
The paper discusses how, with regard to national emergency laws, Japan, the United States and Canada focus on man-made disasters, whereas China and India emphasize naturally-occurring events. The paper shows how, while all five countries adhere to the same basic approach of contemplating mitigation, vulnerability and recovery, the United States and India have produced extensive and impressive bureaucratic responses to recent events while other nations have lagged behind. The paper discusses how different nations' plans are a direct reflection on what they feel are most threatening to their future security and well-being.
From the Paper
"Japan is the first of the nation's whose national emergency management will be reviewed and it does indeed provide an interesting case. Specifically, it is appropriate to look at Japan's recent national emergency legislation - legislation designed specifically to give that country greater military freedom in the event of external attack or even threat. To begin with, 2003 saw the Japanese Parliament or Diet approve three contingency bills - the Bill to Respond to Armed Attack, the Bill for Revision on the Law Governing the Security Council of Japan, the Bill for Revision on the Self-Defense Forces (SDF) Law. Essentially, these bills - which are quite complex pieces of legislation - permit the Japanese government to disavow the "abandoning war" commitment delineated in Article 9 of the national Constitution; in a closely-related vein, injunctions against strengthening or broadening the country's military operations and development have now been cast aside."
