Aboriginal peoples and communities are among the first inhabitants of Canada and are thus considered as one of the founders of Canada. Aboriginal peoples already had legal systems and governance structures even before European settlers arrived in Canada. With the advent of European settlers, Aboriginal peoples were forced to either assimilate to the foreign systems and culture or ignore the immigrants and keep their culture. The latter, however, resulted in conflicts between the European settlers and the local Aboriginal communities. Such conflicts were settled through the signature treaties. However, the signing of the agreements did not guarantee that the ...

There are indeed many things that can be done to solve the problem of Environmental Degradation in Canada. In our lecture, there was a list provided and one included in the list is the removal of leaded fuels and replacing it unleaded gasoline. While I think the unleaded gasoline would indeed do better for people, I think there must be more studies on the possible effects of this change. While there are diverse ways on solving environmental issues, experts and the government should decide which ones are the best. In my opinion, simply replacing leaded gasoline is not a ...

According to Alexander (2014), the oil sands of Alberta have around 1.7 to 2.7 trillion barrels of bitumen reserves. The recoverable oil resource in Canada is second only to that of the leading oil producer, Saudi Arabia. The vast oil reserves are capable of supplying Canada’s energy needs for over 500 years. Presently, nearly 40 percent of Canada’s oil production is generated from the oil sands (Alexander, 2014). They comprise mainly of bitumen mixed by sand and water. Alberta’s major oil sands are located in Cold Lake, Athabasca, and Peace River. Different deposits and areas have ...

Introductory remarks

Alberta oil is one of the largest oil fields in the world. According to Simon Dyer, “The Canadian oil sands are the second largest proven oil reserve after Saudi Arabia” (Dyer, 2009). The commercial development of the Alberta oil sand had begun in the late 1960s. By the time World War I had arrived, and after the war was over, Canada was almost entirely dependent on oil from foreign countries. Canadians, after the war, began to wonder if the nation had any oil resources of their own. This interest led to the creation of the Alberta Research ...

The debate about doctor-assisted dying has been controversial in many countries throughout the world, because each country has its own cultural aspects that govern them on what to do and what not to do.

Some countries have approved doctor-assisted dying, while others do not support the act because they term is unethical. For as many as twenty years, political differences between the Senate and the House of Commons in Canadian government ...

HCA 302. Health Care Organization

Introduction Health care systems are essential in providing security to nation-states world-over, which goes beyond health issues; entire economies depend on such vital system for security.

Notably, nations design as well as develop their health systems in line with their needs as well as the available resources. The United States and Canada share a border, and thus there is a natural inclination to compare the two health care regimes. ...

Canadian French nationalism is a complex issue that has its roots in the settlement of the country by French explorers. It has been a highly emotional issue that has affected the politics of Canada over the years. The eye of the storm is the province of Quebec where 81% of its people spoke French as opposed to the 90% of Canadians who spoke English in the rest of Canada during the early stages of the secessionist movement (Fenwick, 1981). The current Separatist movement has lost power and is no longer the threat to Canadian political and social stability it ...

Introduction

The Canadian labor market is abundant with skilled and qualified workers, and hence, the country’s labor market is becoming increasingly competitive. In this context, it is necessary for the government to ensure that all these candidates are employed and getting paid fairly. However, it is identified that Canada’s unemployment rate soared high during the recent recession and it has not yet recovered completely. Since Canada is a well-developed country, it is particularly important for the Canadian federal government to analyze the short-term as well as long-term costs of high unemployment rate to the country’s economy. This ...

The film captures the atmosphere of alienation of people who have been taken away from their own being, people who have been forced to adopt new methods and cultures which are not part of them. The “new home”, which happens to be the school where the children are taken is a place filled with cruelty, fear, and abuse. The original home of the children was a place built with love and care, where people were proud of their culture and languages (Miller, 84). The children lead a dull life, full of mistreatments and agony while the teachers enjoy everything. ...

The struggle of representation and a part of Canada by the Quebec people has taken a long time before its resolution. People have different opinions as to how the Quebecois should exist in Canada. However, the tussle is between two major groups: the Quebecois and Canadian scholars. Their indifferences with each other occur as they seek to make a better resolution for all the people. For instance, Rene Levesque feels that their independence as the Quebecois nation is necessary for their development while Pierre Trudeau seeks to unite Canadians and Quebecois. Each of the arguments is valid though one ...

What is wrong with the current system?

The Canadian government is currently undergoing a huge capital investment initiatives which have made the natural resource sector grow.

1How does monetary policy affects the economy?

There is no doubt that national monetary policies pose a great impact on the economy of any country, that is, employment, income and investment. Theories trying to explain this mainly draw their arguments from the general nominal rigidity as applied in prices and wages. It therefore means that monetary policy has an impact on the economy due to the fact that workers and firms respond to the increase in liquidity through improved production rather than increasing the prices and or wages. Notably, there is a significant disparity in decision making as far as wage setting is concerned. Most theories ...

Introduction Homelessness is a problem in Canada with roots long in the past and has become much more dramatic during the 1990s. Although it tied up the Canadian government, pushing for effective measures at a much later period than other countries, such as Australia, the US and the UK, it still has a long way to go before viable solutions are found.

Early Canadian Multicultural Policy towards Ethnic Minorities: A Historical Background

It is significant to see that early Canadian multicultural policies towards ethnic minorities must be interpreted in two different outlooks. Firstly, there was a Government official policy towards the French Canadians. Throughout the British colonial era, British authorities generally enforced multicultural policies that were both prejudiced and assimilative with the aim to bring this ethnic group into the British control. Since Confederation, nevertheless, French Canadians were able to gain significant political and legal independence rights. This consisted of some political freedom through the acknowledgment of Quebec as a province, representation in political bodies, and legal language rights. In contrast, there ...

In fact, a number of people always claim that healthcare ought to be more private than public. The debate about healthcare raises the question of whether it is a public ...
