Abstract
This paper reviews the history of tuition fees and then goes on to discusses the re-evaluation of tuition fees in Quebec State, Canada. According to the paper, there are three levels of tuition: Quebec resident (lowest level), out-of-province Canadian resident (tuition set to average Canadian tuition) and international tuition (highest level).
From the Paper
"In The Gazette, "Ontario gets it right on tuition fees" article reveals that "in Quebec, undergraduate tuition hasn't changed since 1994, and will not change before the next election", Jean Charest's government has pledged. The article shows an opposite position, as "the basic undergrad fee of $1,851 should have climbed past $2,300 merely to account for inflation, to say nothing of universities' capital costs, maintenance needs, enrollment increases, and so on". In Quebec, the government states not having new money for universities, which are suffering from years of underfunding. In Quebec alone, universities estimate the annual shortfall to be $350 million. As a result, Quebec and other provinces want both low tuition fees and more funding from Ottawa, so that students will not be driven away by raising tuition fees. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of high tuition fees required by Ontario universities. The paper discusses how university should be made available to all and not just those who are financially able to cope with the demands of high fees. The paper further discusses issues of race and gender in relation to issues surrounding higher education.
From the Paper
Many in public sector planning, at present, belong to a post-World War II generation that enjoyed fairly good access to higher education. It can be most difficult to explain that it is no longer possible to work part-time through the year, and at full-time minimum wage employment in the summer, and finance a Bachelor's degree in four years. Higher tuition in relation to small increases in wages, over the last decades, made higher education expensive, even for students with access to student loan support.

From the Paper
"A large number of countries have come to the conclusion that students should contribute their own share of the funds required to finance their education as this is the only fair and realistic thing to do. It is also said that the bill will reduce the weight on the general tax payer. It is often argued that students contributing to the costs of education will provide them with economic benefits in the longer run. The government also deduces that the new bill will reduce inequalities and disparities in income and reduce class variations within the economy, as it has been deduced in research terms that; graduates earn 50% more than the average person without a degree, hence it has been argued that the new bill will eventually create a certain level of 'justice' within the society."

In-State Tuition and Illegal Immigrants, 2008.
An argument against providing in-state tuition for illegal immigrants.
903 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 32.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper focuses on the ongoing debate about tuition breaks for illegal immigrants and argues that illegal immigrants should not profit from their wrongdoing. The paper is of the opinion that American immigration law needs to be respected or America will find itself increasingly a haven for people who may pose security risks to the country. The paper points out that this issue is important since illegal immigration will be one of the defining issues of the next generation.
From the Paper
"Illegal immigration is a highly contentious matter in American society at the present time and it has been for a number of years. Simply put, the number of illegal immigrants in America has climbed steadily for some time and previous amnesty bills and threats to tighten border security have obviously done nothing to stop the flood of people from Mexico into America. Not least of all, the absorption of so many millions of illegal immigrants threatens to make a mockery of the United States immigration system, could lead to real troubles for the country's social welfare programs and, not least of all, constitutes a legitimate security threat; after all, it is exceedingly dangerous to have millions of people in any country who are undocumented and who could be potential saboteurs, terrorists, or violent felons."

Quebec's Struggle to be a Distinct Society Within Canada, 1999.

From the Paper
"Canada and Quebec have always been in conflict from the confederation of 1867 to the Supreme Court judgment on the secession of Quebec in 1998. Quebec faces several challenges in terms of constitutional relations with the rest of Canada. Fundamentally at the roots of the unity problem lies Quebec?s desire for special status ? to preserve and protect its culture and language ? and Canada?s refusal to acknowledge Quebec as une province et un peuple pas comme les autres, as a distinct society. Unless Canada is willing to acknowledge Quebec?s distinctiveness, Canada?s relationship with Quebec will remain problematic and unsolved: but there is hope. By learning from the lessons of the past, Canadians can help articulate their future. It is important to see the Meech and Charlottetown accords not as failures but as learning experiences. It must also be comprehended that Quebec cannot be accorded its wishes regarding distinct society and other reforms without simultaneously satisfying the desires of Western Canadians and initiating a reform process satisfactory to the Aboriginals. Only then can Quebec?s national aspirations be satisfied within Canada. "

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

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.

Abstract
This essay will discuss why Quebec is justified in separating from Canada. Ever since Confederation, it has been the pride of France in Canada, but now, its sovereignty and independence is simply too much under attack. Indeed, despite its great contribution to Canada's development, Quebec no longer has an interest to remain as a minority in a country that does not recognize its rights.

Higher Education in Canada, 2005.
This paper maintains that reducing per capita funding for Canadian higher education is necessary.
3,150 words (approx. 12.6 pages), 9 sources, $ 124.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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."

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."

The Separatist Movement in Quebec, 2008.
A historical review of the separatist movement in Quebec focusing on whether progress is being made towards peaceful co-existence within Canada.
2,260 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that, no matter what anyone does, the separatist issue in Quebec is never satisfactorily resolved and simply goes on being a bone of contention. The paper goes on to review the origins of the "Quebec issue" and identify the unique set of historical conditions from which the issue developed. The author of the paper argues that the British did all they could to set the stage for peaceful co-existence between Anglophones and Francophones in Canada; however, a sector of Quebecers has remained persistently opposed to peaceful co-operation and has kept alive the spirit of separatism.
From the Paper
"The Quebec Act, which was passed by the British Parliament in 1774, has justifiably been called statesmanlike. Certainly, it seems to have been a determined effort to deal in a just way with the unique circumstances in Quebec. It was also an inspired reply to the complex question the British government faced: "What would be a good law for a former French community, cut off from France, united to England, a close neighbor of American colonies, and now infiltrated with Englishmen and Americans?""

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."
