Analysis/Article on Canadian Settler Politics
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page summation and analysis of an article by Stasiulis and Jhappan (1995) entitled "The fractious politics of a settler society." This view on Canadian history not only explains the conflicts of ethnicity and politics that have often characterized events in Canada, but also predicts that such divisions will only become more severe and exacerbated in the immediate future. Examination of their article suggests that the arguments offered by Stasiulis and Jhappan are sound and based on keen insight into the sociological development and evolution of Canada and its peoples. In 1995, their predictions undoubtedly seemed sound. Ten years later, the diversity that Stasiulis and Jhappan felt posed an insurmountable obstacle to Canadian national unity still exists, but the perspective of Canadians toward this element of their culture has changed. Where once unity seemed impossible, it now seems to be a distinct possibility as Canadians embrace their multicultural background. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Benefits and Costs of a Taxpayer Focused (Public) Healthcare System (Canadian Based)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing benefits, costs and possible modernization of the public health care system in Canada. Canadians currently appreciate the public healthcare system in their country mainly because the Canada Health Act guarantees free health care to anyone in the country. Despite this advantage over other countries in which patients have to pay for health care and may be turned away if they are unable to, the Canadian taxpayers also realize that health care costs are increasing and this will eventually become a burden on the average taxpayer. Rather than give up the public system for a private system or a two-tiered system which would create an inequality in health care services for the public, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has offered a report outlining certain areas in the current system which could be modernized including the Canada Health Act. While keeping universal health care as a priority, the CTF believes that the new principles of the system should be public governance, quality, accountability, choice and sustainability in addition to structural changes that would allow for individual accountability measures, intergenerational fairness and a commitment to innovative technologies. The taxpayer would still be the central focus of the health care system while increasing the efficiency of the current system. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Business and Government in Canada
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing business and the Government of Canada relations. Historically, the Canadian government maintained a close relationship with businesses within Canada in that for the large part the Canadian government controlled and owned most of the major business sectors within the country such as natural resources, agriculture, and the transport industries to name a few. This ideology led to a nationalization of the country especially prior and during the years of World War II when Prime Minister Mackenzie King provided a great deal of financial investments in the development of business opportunities within Canada. By the second half of the 20th century, Canada had become a social and welfare state which began to take its toll on the economy and government. During the 1970s and 1980s, “downsizing” and the start of privatization of governmental industries began to take place. Today, the relationship between the Canadian government and business has changed significantly. Through financial support and trade policy, the Canadian government provides assistance to businesses which will encourage national and international investment in Canada. These businesses are those which are in high demand in the global market place and are those which are considered innovative, service-oriented, research, technology and knowledge-based in addition to the already established industries.
