Abstract
The paper discusses how reform of or even an alternative to the Canadian universal health care system is needed because of serious inefficiencies, such as emergency departments and family doctors who work only limited hours. The paper looks at the positive and negative aspects of privatization. The paper concludes that there are alternatives to privatization for enhancing healthcare efficiency. The paper maintains that instead of insisting that privatization is the only viable option, the solution seems to lie in the expansion of public-private partnerships.
Outline:
Introduction
Medicare and American Privatization
Positive Aspects of Privatization
Negative Aspects of Privatization
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Privatization is regarded by critics as a commercial and destructive takeover of Canada's valued health care system. The US model of care is privatized but has proven to be both very costly and inefficient. There are both positive and negative aspects to privatization, and the central problems appear to be associated with control and motive. On the other hand, as ideal as it may appear, the Canadian universal health care system has been marked for years by problems between the federal government and the ten provinces related to financing and delivery (Editors, 2000). The topic of privatization was chosen because the debate has surfaced again in the past decade. The US model may be inefficient and costly, but medicare is not merely similar but is dividing federal and provincial governments. According to Lewis and Donaldson (2001, p. 926), "a decade of turbulence has transformed Medicare from icon of Canadian values and organizational know-how to an apparent state of crisis"."

1,978 words (approx. 7.9 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 62.95
»

Abstract
The paper relates that the proposed softwood lumber agreement is designed to resolve the long standing trade dispute between Canada and the United States. The paper explains why Canada's primary objective with the proposed agreement is to liberalize trade. The paper explores whether Canada's interests are being served by this agreement. The paper looks at an important interest group, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) that supports Canada in this dispute.
Outline:
The Proposed Agreement
Interest Groups
From the Paper
"The proposed softwood lumber agreement is designed to finally resolve the long standing trade dispute between Canada and the United States. It has provisions that are beneficial for Canada and provisions that are beneficial for the United States."
"The major benefit for the Canadian industry is the fact that the agreement would result in the elimination of the trade barriers currently in place. For example, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade's website states,
"The U.S. will revoke the CVD and AD orders on Canadian softwood lumber imports and stop collecting deposits"(Anonymous www. international.gc.ca/eicb/softwood/basic-terms-en.as). This would mean that the trade barriers erected by the United States would be essentially eliminated.""

It specifically analyzes Canada's relationship with China and petroleum and how these are affecting Canada's economy.
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."

Canada-US Softwood Lumber Agreement, 2007.

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."

Metropolitan General Insurance Company, 2007.
This paper is a case study about a dysfunctional branch of Metropolitan General Insurance Company.
1,345 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, while the Metropolitan General Insurance Co. is committed to a "decentralized operating structure" in its branches, this organizational structure is not replicated in its Oshawa branch, which contributes to its under-performance. The author points out that the problem of duplication is evident on the organizational chart of the Oshawa branch, where each of the product lines has its own clerical staff in addition to the management and administration staff that also has its own clerical staff. The paper stresses that a boundary-less organization model, instead of the present inflexible, mechanistic organization, is more suited to the decentralized environment dependent upon independent agents and brokers.
From the Paper
"It may be argued that the organizational design that would be most successful in this environment is one that mirror Metropolitan's decentralized model on a local scale. One of the common themes of the cited branch senior staff meeting is blaming the brokers and the assertion that supporting them is "not my job". This is most evident in Tompkins complaints that the brokers requests are preventing her from being able to "move some paper" and Hood's complaint that he does not want the added work of determining who should be doing what tasks."

Curing Addiction: India and Canada, 2007.
This paper looks at Vipassana, the Indian meditation method used for curing addiction and mental illness of prison inmates.
3,307 words (approx. 13.2 pages), 19 sources, MLA, $ 94.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses a program of meditation introduced in Indian prisons, Vipassana, that enables inmates to overcome addiction and problems of mental health while gaining a new orientation of themselves and their situations. The paper examines the Vipassana experiment in New Delhi's Tihar Jail and discusses the benefits of implementing this program into Canadian prisons.
Outline:
Introduction
Addictions and Canadian Offenders
Recognizing Addiction in India
What is Vipassana?
Closing Gaps in Practice and Planning
Concluding Discussion
From the Paper
"Terry explained that Canadian recidivism often revolves around an offender's ability to cope with addiction, the ex-offender a person having overcome addiction, and the repeat offender a person not having achieved this. (2002) Canadian officials and institutions need to look further afield for programming, bearing in mind how Third World settings are keenly hampered by fiscal concerns. In short, a program affordable and effective in India is apt to prove effective given the extra supports available in the West. Moreover, what has been offered to Canadian federal offenders has not always served addicted offenders well -- the addict is frequently the 'repeat offender' with whom Federal prisons often deal."

Trade Policy, 2007.
An evaluation of the economic data and trade policy presented in "A Trading Nation: Canadian Trade Policy from Colonialism to Globalization" by Michael Hart.
1,425 words (approx. 5.7 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews Michael Hart's book, "A Trading Nation: Canadian Trade Policy from Colonialism to Globalization" in order to argue the case that Canadian trade policy is often created around subjective and biased economic information that create Canada's trade policy. The paper further analyzes how Hart uses both trade policy and empirical economic data in his research, rather than using market fluctuations and government interaction, to define how Canada's trade economy will function for the best interest of the nation.
From the Paper
"Finally, Hart uses trade policy to define how Canada will co-exist with America as a major trade partner in multilateral trade policy. Although the 1995 AFTA agreement helped to open the borders with American trade, the actually trade policy issues within the agreement were often not in the best interest of Canada. Often the issue of privatization in the American economy helped to defy the "openness" of the agreement, which helps to solidify Hart's thesis of data that stays close with policy initiatives. In many ways, the data revolving around Canada's markets and the way that politics plays into the mix, does not reflect the serious issues that limit the true autonomy of Canada's part in the NAFTA."

Toronto Geography, 2007.
This paper discusses the geography of Toronto from a global point of view.
1,284 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 43.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that typically, Toronto and the surrounding area are not the first places to come to mind when one is considering the major global hubs throughout the world. Yet, that writer points out that because of its unique location astride the border of two sizeable nations, the United States and Canada, Toronto is certainly a global paradox of both small town mentality and cosmopolitan enterprise. The writer maintains that one primary reason Toronto has evolved into an international crossroads of sort is that from the outset its development was not impaired by any natural barriers that would have prevented early forms of commerce and transportation. The writer concludes that it is clear that, geographically speaking, Toronto is a global region to which its current social, political, and cultural apparatus is presently enhancing. The writer uses several tables and images in this paper to support the information provided.
Outline:
Overview
Economic
Urban
Social
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Clearly, Toronto's geography has facilitated its global stature as a regional centre of commerce as well as immigration."
"Toronto's population is very urban in nature. One attribute of urban, as well as suburban life is transportation and the character a city's transportation habits adopt. Toronto's population is very dependent on all facets of transportation, public and private but especially on individual transportation solutions."

Canada's Trade Policy, 2007.
This paper reviews the book "A Trading Nation: Canadian Trade Policy from Colonialism to Globalization", by Michael Hart.
1,649 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines Michael Hart's thesis that Canadian trade policy has too often been shaped by political considerations rather than economic ones and this trend has led to economic dislocation that could have been avoided. The writer agrees with Hart in general, noting his lucid arguments in favor of free trade and his especially cogent argument in favor of NAFTA. The writer concludes that Michael Hart has made a valuable contribution to existing literature.
From the Paper
"Hart's defense of his thesis really begins early on in his work. For one thing, Hart notes that Canada has actually been strengthened in some respects by a heavily-regulated international trade situation insofar as such an arrangement actually makes it less vulnerable to unilateral and arbitrary decisions in Washington or elsewhere (8). Simply on its surface, this assertion makes a great deal of sense: Canada is a nation of just over 30 million souls; the United States has about ten times that number and possibly a 100 times the economic clout world-wide. Furthermore, other nations like Russia, China, India and even "western European" nations like France, Germany and Great Britain all have considerably greater human and capital resources than does Canada."

Canada and Malaria, 2007.
This paper discusses how Canada is lacking in its surveillance and control of malaria.
2,687 words (approx. 10.7 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 80.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that Canada has experienced an excessively high incidence of malaria in contrast to all other industrialized nations. The paper examines the host characteristics of the disease, the environment, the agent responsible and the natural history of malaria to highlight the problems that develop if a comprehensive epidemiological analysis is not conducted. The paper shows how in comparison with the United States, Canada appears to be unaware of how to undertake adequate surveillance and how to implement control mechanisms. The paper also emphasizes the importance of public health education related to malaria infection.
Outline:
Introduction
Prevalence
Host Characteristics
Environment
Agent
Natural History
Future Research
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Malaria is a parasitic infection with high prevalence around the world, including affluent nations. The focus of this paper will be Canada because this country has experienced an excessively high incidence of malaria in contrast to all other industrialized nations (MacLean & Demers, 2004). Canada's high incidence of infections corresponds to the deficiencies in its surveillance and public education programs. The two provinces most vulnerable to malaria infection are British Columbia and Ontario. It was only because of research conducted outside of the Canadian surveillance system that the source of two epidemics was identified."

Racism and the Media, 2007.
This paper explores the reality of racism in contemporary Canada.
1,345 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the following contention: It is too easy for people to blame their failures on things like racism, The contention is discussed from the perspective of an Iranian student in Canada. The paper argues that we need to address the complex realities that underlie racism today rather than employ "racism" as a broad generalization. The paper shows how minority communities are commonly stereotyped by the mass media, but simply blaming "failures" upon racism can undermine the minority communities' sense of responsibility.
From the Paper
"Writing from the perspective of an Iranian student living in Canada, it is impossible to ignore the level of prejudice that is directed at Muslims in general on a daily basis in the politics and the mass media of Canada. I must say that this was not unexpected for Iranians, much like Canadians, live within our globalized mass media society and - given my viewing of the media - I expected to encounter prejudice due to the American's so-called "War on Terror". However, one of the interesting things about living in Canada is that, unlike Iran, Canada is a highly heterogeneous society with people from various races and cultures around the world. Within this environment my understanding of the racism and prejudice that I have encountered has grown significantly."
