Abstract
This paper looks at the regulation of the securities industry in Canada. It briefly reviews the Canadian capital market and looks at the various self-regulating organizations (SROs) in place and their key features. From there, the paper discusses the nature of the Constitution Act, 1867, and how it can be construed as supporting local or provincial control of the securities sector.

From the Paper
"As a last point before bringing this paper to a close, it should be added that self-regulation by the SROs discussed above (and at the provincial level in the form of securities commissions) are better simply because it allows supervisory bodies to concentrate their efforts upon a smaller group of individuals. To put the matter simply, individuals looking to break the law - or at least to engage in questionable practices - may feel that they can "slip through the cracks" of a national regulatory regime. However, by having provincial commissions in place (acting in conjunction with broad organizations like the MFDA and IDA, of course) the likelihood of evading detection becomes increasingly remote. Effective plans or programs that heighten the effectiveness of provincial self-regulation would surely seem to be ones that call for close cooperation between SROs and provincial commissions - with joint offices set up that pool resources and allow for immediate investigation of complaints or concerns."

Abstract
The paper relates that the budget promises 13 billion in additional financing through financial crown corporations - including $5 billion in credit made available through the new Business Credit Availability Program. The paper discusses how the 2009 budget also creates a single securities regulator; increases the maximum eligible loan a small business can access through the Business Credit Availability Program; provides money to the Canada Business Network and to the Canadian Youth Business Foundation; allocates more money to the Canada Graduate Scholarships Program and to the Canada Foundation for Innovation; provides $1 billion over 5 years to the Southern Ontario Development Agency; and creates a Clean Energy Fund for the development of sustainable technologies.

Abstract
With the rise to power of neoliberal forces in the United States in the 1980s, the Canadian labor market has been systemically moving towards an increasingly deregulated model that has led to many of the jobs created in Canada today being low paid and insecure. This essay critically examines several policy options to remedy this situation. The areas examined include (1) improving regulations for employment standards; (2) improving the quality of jobs; and (3) improving the quality of the Canadian labour force.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the forces of globalization and integration have directly affected the securities industry and its markets. The writer maintains that previously independent, national securities markets are becoming increasingly interdependent because of changes wrought by the forces of globalization in three key arenas: technology, competition and regulation. This paper examines all three issues.

From the Paper
"Globalization seems to be the catchword for changes in financial matters ranging from the mergers of transnational corporations to the price of lemonade sold by third graders on the corner. If there's a problem with economies, globalization is to blame. If an economy is doing particularly well, then the forces of globalization are responsible for the success. In short, globalization has been the easy answer for a lot of economists and business leaders intent on analyzing changes within various marketplaces. Despite the overuse of the term - often by individuals who do not understand how to use it - globalization has been responsible for many of the changes that directly affect the business world."

Abstract
This paper is a preliminary plan for the Tropika company to develop a unit that will import Canadian red wine into the Los Angeles market and establish that product as a viable item for the low to medium priced wine consumer. An analysis is made of the company, the product, the Canadian economy, and the market in Los Angles for imported wine and specifically for Canadian wine, to the degree that a market for wine from Canada can be assessed.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Wine has a particular image in America as well, a generally positive image when compared with other alcoholic beverages. Acceptance of wine drinking seems to rise with educational level, and this may be related to an increased awareness of health trends and study data. There is a belief that wine can be healthful (Matthews 25), though medical research sometimes supports this proposition and at other times denies it. Even if the issue is not settled, though, the belief that wine has healthful properties is strong and governs the buying decisions for many people. Of course, there is also some belief that red wine is not as healthful as white wine, which would mitigate against the products being considered. Still, the trend is positive. Wine also has an image as a status symbol, which helps explain why its use increases with education and income level. Wine is generally used to facilitate some social interaction in the home, and there is a positive association with sociability (Matthews 26)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Ontario province government has implemented several strategies to encourage private sector investment in the province's automobile industry. These strategies combine loans and grants that are designed to "top up" or encourage the investments of companies in the private sector. The author points out that the ideological underpinning of this strategy is liberal democratic capitalism under which the state is seen as playing a supportive role to industry by absorbing some of the costs associated with industrial growth and development. The paper relates that the cars manufactured in Canada are not intended to compete in the global marketplace but rather almost entirely in the U.S. as intracorporate trade in the form of parts and assembly for different plants of the same company on different sides of the Canada-US border. The author points out that the Canadian competitive advantages are the low value of Canada's currency in comparison to the United States dollar and the various Canada-U.S. trade agreements.

From the Paper
"Globalization has also been recognized by critics of Canadian industrial policy as a threat to Canadian jobs and the economy as a whole, for it is argued that highly paid Canadian workers cannot compete on a globally leveled playing field against much more lowly paid workers in places such as Mexico. While many specialists in the fields of trade and economics have argued that free trade and globalization are essential to foster competitiveness in Canadian industry, it seems likely that there will be some cost to Canada given the historic low competition ranking of Canadian industry when compared with its global competitors."

Abstract
The following paper will look briefly at what strategies can be employed by Canadian workers and by the labor movement to secure decent remuneration and workplace quality in an age when globalization seems eager to tear those things asunder. Certainly, in an age of rampant privatization and with governments less interested than ever before in protecting workers, diversifying its constituency, establishing cross-border linkages and demanding workplace democracy and appropriate quality-of-work are things which should be at the forefront of any labor movement's plans and priorities. With this in mind, it is to a discussion of these issues that we now turn.

Abstract
The paper discusses how it is commonplace for people to associate the industrial child labor of nineteenth and early-twentieth century Canada with exploitation and with abuse. The paper argues, however, that a case can be made that the experiences of working-class children were not uniformly grim: the children who labored away in Canadian factories or even mines in the pre-1920 era were given the opportunity to provide for their families, were given the chance to elevate their households out of grinding poverty, and were given an "inside track" when it came to securing future gainful employment with the organization - including employment in management. The paper contends that it was difficult and dangerous work being a child laborer in Canada prior to the end of the First World War - and child labor and exploitation were far too pervasive throughout Canadian society - but to suggest that it had positively no advantages for the youth involved is simply wrong.

From the Paper
"In popular mythology, it is commonplace for people to associate the industrial child labor of nineteenth and early-twentieth century Canada with exploitation and with abuse; certainly, many such cases abounded. Be that as it may, a case can be made that the experiences of working-class children were not uniformly grim: the children who labored away in Canadian factories or even mines in the pre-1920 era were given the opportunity to provide for their families, were given the chance to..."
