Abstract
This paper explains how there has been a significant reduction in force since the two health care systems in Canada merged and a decision was made to redesign the patient care delivery. The paper also discusses the beginning direction of the process for the job redesign, the processes and performance expectations once the redesign is completed, the steps and structures that the organization will put in place to make the organization a true learning organization, how the organization will plan and control the intra-organizational and inter-organization communication to implement the job resign changes, and how the management team can ensure individual job satisfaction for this position.

From the Paper
"Since the merger between the two health care organizations took place there has been a significant reduction in force (UOP, 2010). A decision was made to redesign the patient care delivery (UOP, 2010). This paper will provide the beginning direction of the process for the job redesign, the processes and performance expectations once the redesign is completed, the steps and structures that the organization will put in place to make the organization a true learning organization, how the organization will plan and control the intra-organizational and inter-organization communication to implement the job resign changes, and how the management team can ensure individual job satisfaction for this position (UOP, 2010).
"The goal to redesign is to connect the needs of the individuals performing various jobs with the productivity needs of the organization. To be successful it is very important to provide individuals with meaningful work that fits effectively into the flow of the organization (Job Redesign, 2009)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the healthcare systems of the United States and Canada were once both privately funded but now have an immense difference in the structure and cost of healthcare services. The author points out that the Canadian structure is available to all citizens whereas, in the U.S., accessibility is a major problem. The paper relates that the U.S. has more advanced technology as compared to Canada, which is a weakness of Canadian healthcare. The author stresses that healthcare services in the U.S. have been known to be superior because patients, who have access, can be seen immediately and surgical procedures need only a short wait; whereas, in Canada, many residents wait a long time for services, minor surgeries and regular checkups. The paper concludes that, overall, Canada has accomplished a balance between quality, cost efficiency and technology. The paper includes graphs.

From the Paper
"The high price of healthcare has been an ongoing crisis and has affected many Americans. Many Americans work at full-time jobs but still do not have access to health insurance because of the immense cost. Some companies offer to cover a percentage of healthcare insurance, but the employee still has to pay a large portion of out of pocket-expenses. Any citizen that owns their own business has no other choice but to pay full price for healthcare. The crisis of healthcare has had major effects on many American families. With no health coverage, one could only imagine the stress of the medical bills ..."

Abstract
This is a financial report on Budd Canada, Inc, a company in the business of supplying automotive components, specializing in the production of bumpers, chassis components and light truck frames. It is the writer's recommendation that a banking institution does not consider Budd to be a viable investment risk at this time as it has had a ten year history of increasing sales coupled with even greater decreasing profits. This paper shows how the company's position in the market is precarious.

From the Paper
"This general industry trends also touched Budd Canada. The Corporation reported a $94.2 million dollar net loss as of September 30, 2001. Budd had mixed results this year due to the need to ramp-up production on its new state-of-the-art system in order to meet customer demand. Typically, the introduction of new equipment produces a negative financial effect initially. The 2001 losses were anticipated however early losses were greater than anticipated and a new management team was put into place. Traditional product lines declined, as order shifted to newer product lines. The Budd Company is substantially dependent upon two major customers. These two customers account for 99% of sales and 99% of the accounts receivable balance."

Abstract
This is an investigation of the attitudes and debates surrounding free trade with the United States on the Canadian side of the border during the period of 1985 to 2000. The author examines the reasons for free trade and the events that led up to the entry into agreements as well as the hopes, fears and results of free trade between the two countries with focus on Canadian fears.

From the Paper
"There are 8,893km of virtually unprotected border between Canada and the United States; the longest in the world. With over 100 years of peaceful coexistence and general friendship, it is also one of the world's most peaceful borders. It comes as no surprise then that the cultures and histories of both countries are so intertwined or, to take the more cynical view "that Canada's culture and history are disproportionately intertwined with that of the United States. Whatever position taken, the phenomena exists and as a result of this closeness have arisen more practical issues" such as concerns dealing with the environment, mutual defense and trade."

Abstract
The focus of this paper is the pivotal period between the 1850s and the 1920s when the rates of Chinese immigration to America and Canada were at their highest. It considers which country had the more belligerent West by examining the ideas, legislation and practicalities that formed the Chinese experience in California and British Columbia between 1850 and 1930. It also examines the perception of the Chinese newcomers by Canadians and Americans, the social experiences of the Chinese in settling into their new homes and the economic experiences they had in trying to make ends meet in the face of barriers that both federal and state/provincial governments had made.

From the Paper
"Whilst historians of the American and Canadian Wests have focused their attention on the working lives of men in cities and in the mines, studies of Chinese womens' experiences have tended to be treated as a separate topic. In 1986 historian Anne Butler pointed out that women's history was lacking in an examination of the experiences of 'Oriental' women. This may be partially due to the absence of writings on Chinese women in California and British Columbia in the nineteenth century and for much of the twentieth century. Indeed, Judy Yung has commented that "life under exclusion [...has...] necessitated a pact of silence among Chinese immigrants about their past.""

Abstract
This paper considers the state of theater in Canada and Winnipeg prior to the creation of the Manitoba Theater Center in 1958, looking at the goals of the Massey Commission in promoting the development of a Canadian culture. It also looks at the intentions of Theater 77 and the Winnipeg Little Theater in their merger to become the Manitoba Theater Center. The main body of the analysis is concerned with the mandate of the Manitoba Theater Center. Finally, consideration is also given to an additional fourth goal introduced later in the Center's history that was concerned with encouraging the production of Canadian plays.

From the Paper
"Canadian theater, in the 1950s, consisted mostly of amateur societies, with professional theater only really finding a niche in Toronto. The Massey Commission Report of 1951 was concerned with the state of Canadian culture and its tendency to import art from other cultural centers, such as New York and London. The Massey Commission's Report outlined steps to create a government body that would grant funds to art programmes to promote a national culture. Such a concern had been similarly expressed by other major figures in Canadian theater, some of whom had suggested that if the state of the theater were to improve, it would require a national theater that would tour the country with several permanent provincial theater buildings to house professional productions (Massey 55).

Abstract
This study takes an unusual, exploratory approach to studying issues of identity in the Japanese community in Canada. It looks at two types of modern day Japanese in Canada. First, a young student studying at MIT is used as a real life case study. Second, various fictional depictions of Japanese-Canadians are used to delve deeper into issues of Japanese identity.

From the Paper
"Thus, using Bourdieu's analysis, it is theoretically possible to apply it to the situation of Japanese-Canadians to try to delve deeper into their ethnic self-identity and individual make-up. However, there are various flaws when trying to apply Bourdieu's work. First, Bourdieu interviewed his participants in some depth for his study in order to get a detailed profile of each. This variety of data about Japanese-Canadians is not currently available for this study and would need to be obtained first-hand. Second, and more importantly, it is not possible to apply the same analysis intended for a Western, European nation such as France to a complex, Oriental nation such as Japan that prides itself on its "unique" ethnic identity and 90% middle-class (which, if true, renders analysis using economic capital as a variable useless anyhow)."

Abstract
This paper provides a study of the theories of global cities and world cities in the Canadian context using the cities of Toronto and Montreal as examples. It looks at how Toronto, as Canada's foremost urban centre shows the signs of a rapidly changing and polarizing city, whereas Montreal has shifted to regional city-status. It also shows how the Canadian urban system can be used as an example for other small yet developed countries where the battle for urban supremacy is taking place.

From the Paper
"Canada has long been a traditional immigration country, along with the US and Australia. Much of the immigration is centred towards the urban centres of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver (source: Statistics Canada 2003). According to World City Theory, immigration is almost a prerequisite for growth, as a constant stream of low-waged workers are required to fill services such as workers in restaurants, and cleaning. Toronto's share is increasing, possibly due to the increased demand for workers in its growing economy, and the use of English - the global language. Quebec's policy of enforced learning of French has been quoted as impedance for immigrants, who would rather settle in Ontario or British Columbia. The extent of immigration into the urban centre in Canada has generally been impeded by federal schemes to spread out immigrants around peripheral areas such as Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia (see Statistics Canada)."

Abstract
This paper is concerned with tracing the relationship between place and history - both real and figurative - in Alistair MacLeod's novel, "No Great Mischief" about immigrant experiences in Canada, particularly those of his Scottish ancestors. It looks at how MacLeod draws on physical and figurative representations of space in order to locate his central protagonist's sense of identity within his community and in his new homeland. It also shows how in doing this, MacLeod is inscribing a history for the MacDonalds on the Canadian landscape, whilst also exploring ideas expressed in settler theories regarding displacement and/or mimicry of the First Nations of Canada.

From the Paper
"The relationship of history to place is also indicated as a global issue in a discussion between an American and Alexander about Ukrainians in Canada. The American is staunchly convinced that the Ukraine is Russian, based on a map he had viewed years ago. His resistance to accepting that borders are constructs that shift according to the processes of history betrays the mindset of one who lives in a dominant culture (in this instant, the neo-colonial United States) that is interested in boundaries cast on the model of the core and periphery. "Lines are lines, right? Either they're there or they're not. There aren't any Ukrainians. They're Russians." The Ukrainians' identity is therefore denied by this American's hegemonic discourse of history."

Abstract
The study takes a broad exploratory approach to studying issues of identity in the Japanese community in Canada. Chapter I traces the historical settlement of Japanese-Canadians in Canada with reference to how Canada?s changing attitudes on dealing with immigrants has affected the way in which Japanese-Canadians perceive themselves. Chapter II researches the relationship between language and identity. Chapter III looks at two types of modern day Japanese in Canada. First, a young student studying at MIT is used as a real life case study. Second, various fictional depictions of Japanese-Canadians are used to delve deeper into issues of Japanese identity. The subject matter has not yet been specifically covered in detail by academia (although it has rather more so by fictional writing). Available sources are analyzed closely to try to uncover trends in identity. Sources used vary from academic works (both Japanese and Canadian) on history, sociology, politics, linguistics and psychology; through to personal journal entries and fictional works concerning Japanese identity written by Japanese-Canadian authors.
