Abstract
This paper examines the marketing differences in Canada, Hungary and Rwanda, to determine attractive marketing possibilities for U.S. goods and services. The paper contends that of the three nations considered, Canada and Hungary both appear to have promising markets. Both have well-developed infrastructures. While Canada has a long history of a free market economy, Hungary has committed to catching up as fast as possible and has made the climate attractive for foreign investment and goods. It offers a smaller population than does Canada, but one arguably eager for the goods Canadians take for granted. The paper claims that Rwanda offers very little, currently, to any company wanting to explore new markets. Its infrastructure is creaky, its population stressed and the government still has not paved the way for substantial foreign marketing, not least by maintaining control of so much of the meager media. The paper assesses that of the three, Rwanda is clearly the least attractive marketing choice.
From the Paper
"Not surprisingly, a comparison of the advertising environments in Canada, Hungary and Rwanda reveals that the market closest to that of the United States in composition, Canada, also offers the most easily navigated paths for advertising and marketing of products and services. Hungary, especially in the rush to a market economy after the collapse of Eastern European communist governments, also offers attractive marketing possibilities. Rwanda is probably the least attractive. Still called by the CIA World Factbook "Rwanda is a poor rural country with about 90% of the population engaged in (mainly subsistence) agriculture" according to the CIA World Fact book."

Abstract
This paper offers a succinct history of Canada from the time of the early settlers until modern day. The focus of the paper is the battles between different countries to rule over the area and the affect that this had on the development of a multi-cultural country.
From the Paper
"However, good relations with England and status as a commonwealth nation would cause considerable dissention among the French minority in Canada. Pro-British members of government supported several of Britain's war efforts, including those in the World Wars. Canada became a major political and economic world power in the twentieth century. Although bilingualism and multiculturalism were adopted as official policies of the state, French separatists in Quebec struggled fiercely for independence. The last of two official referendums for separation from Canada was defeated in 1995 by a narrow margin."

The Great Lakes Basin, 2005.
This paper discusses the potential for the development of ecotourism in the Great Lakes Basin.
4,295 words (approx. 17.2 pages), 22 sources, APA, £ 80.95

Abstract
This paper explains that the Great Lakes Basin offers an abundance of ecological points to support ecotourism; moreover, if ecotourism becomes an important economic and social factor, it will have a positive affect on some of the ecological concerns of the region. The author points out that the tourism industry in the Great Lakes Basin is stagnated and the most appealing method to this revitalizing program is ecotourism, which would bring tourism to the area to generate both income to continue conservation efforts and interest in conserving the Great Lakes Basin's ecosystem and historic sites. The paper states that the first thrust of developing an ecotourism program is to survey Canadians and visitors to determine their interest in eco-travel and to evaluate potential financial benefits and to create an agency to manage ecotourism efforts in the Great Lakes Basin. Tables, charts, maps and illustrations.

"In addition to the scientific ecotourism potential in this species migration (and the list above is a very small part of it), there is the land-based cultural aspect, particularly sustainable if exploited because "the history of exploration, colonization, settlement, and commercial development of the Great Lakes by European settlers spans almost four centuries. Throughout this period, non-indigenous aquatic animal and plant species have been introduced both intentionally and accidentally." Here, cultural history also enters the picture because, for medicinal purposes, early settlers imported non-native plants, such as bittersweet nightshade (Solanum dulcamara) as well as importing favored edibles, such as watercress (Rorippa nasturtium aquaticum), which thrived in the new environment, pushing out older native species."

"Globe-Net" Website, 2005.
This paper summarizes and evaluates an article titled "Partnering for Green Success" by John Cooper published in the "CMA Magazine" (June/July 2004), about the "Globe-Net" website.

Abstract
The paper explains that the article is about the new "Globe-Net" website, which provides upcoming events, market reports and headline news and business opportunities in the environment sector. It also points out that the site is easy to navigate and is useful especially for the small Canadian businesses, which do not have the resources or the awareness to collect information about business opportunities on their own. The author points out that the article provides useful information about the introduction of a new website for the Canadian environmental businesses and is written in an attractive style with liberal quotations from the relevant experts. The paper states that the Globe-Net initiative is particularly useful to the management accountant because it provides 'real-time' information, which can be fine tuned for the daily company operations of their companies and to improve their responsiveness to market trends and customer needs.

From the Paper
"In Canada up to 7,500 firms and as many as 160,000 workers are in some way linked to the environmental business. Canada, in fact, leads the world in some of the major environmental technologies such as fuel cells, alternative fuels and water treatment. Still, the industry needs help to expand in a big way. The Canadian government is helping out by providing substantial funds for environment friendly businesses in the federal budget. The Globe-Net aims to play a crucial role in the process by providing the necessary information."

Wal-Mart Canada, 2004.
This paper discusses the attempts by the international retail giant, Wal-Mart, to stop organized labor efforts in Canada.

Abstract
This paper explains that Wal-Mart has been trying to fend off multiple attacks by organized labor over the past decade in an attempt to maintain its union-free managerial style. The author points out that the Wal-Mart situation covers a full spectrum of legal concerns, such as the acquisition and termination of collective representation of employees, unfair labor practices and the associated regulations, collective bargaining schemes, the scope of an individual's rights for collective bargaining, and basic constitutional rights in a labor context. The paper relates the Canadian labor parties have contended for decades that the labor laws, which govern a worker's right to belong to a union, have always been in favor of the employer; therefore, they have gone directly after legislators in their effort to level the playing field.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In twenty-first century, manufacturing and retail are working with labor already at a premium as just-in-time philosophies reduce the need for labor resources and warehousing needs. Globalization and communications have helped eliminate the middle man and as the internet continues to thrive in a tax free shelter period, brick and mortar needs will continue to become irrelevant as on line stores are perfected. Technology will continue to automate processes further reducing the human resource needs by companies working with Six Sigma and other efficiency methodologies. This all should be good for unions - but, it is not. All of these managerial pleasures equate to a nightmare for union recruitment efforts."

Australia versus Canada, 2005.
A look at the differences and similarities between both nations.

Abstract
This paper describes the geography, climate, wildlife, vegetation, cultural development, ethnic groups, and internal ethnic conflicts of both Australia and Canada and draws comparisons and contrasts of these between the two countries.
From the Paper
"Their specious, surface images in the international public eye could not be more diverse. Canada is often schematically depicted as a friendly land of stoic Mounties, clear views of mountaintops and uncluttered city streets, crisp air-and the home of Anne of Green Gables. Australia travel advertisements show a land of sunny beaches, strange wildlife, and strange English expressions such as to throw another shrimp upon the Barbie, and feature upside down seasons of blistering heat-and the home of the rustic Crocodile Dundee. Yet both of these nations do speak the Queen's English language, and both were once a part of the British crown. Both have experienced profound internal conflicts with their indigenous populations. Both embrace a wide diversity of cultures within their respective folds, partly due to geographic circumstances of great territorial and climatic diversity."

U.S.-Canada Relations and the Cold War, 2005.
Examines relations between Canada and the United States during the Cold War era.

Abstract
This two-part paper examines how the emergence of the Cold War affected the relationship between Canada and the United States in a positive way, allowing for an advancement of trade policies, as well as defense policies, while at the same time causing increasing tension between the two nations in terms of independence. Secondly, this paper discusses the foreign and defense policies of Canada during the Cold War era years of 1945-1957 and shows that, although Canada may have followed U.S. policy in some areas, it also created and maintained its own foreign and defense policies. This paper shows that the beneficial, albeit rocky, relationship that emerged from the Cold War era between the United States and Canada allowed Canada to maintain its own foreign policy and to dictate the future of its country.
From the Paper
"Part of this decision was due to the newly created United Nations, in which Canada was a key member. Created in 1945, the United Nations treaty, much of which was drafted with the prime assistance of Canada, was designed to promote peace and security in the world. It also served to promote human rights, and security policies. At the time, Canada saw the UN as a guideline for their foreign and defense policies, aiming to promote peace, and avoid aggression (?Canada and the UN?, 2003). As part of this policy, the Canadian government was focused on reallocating resources to assist in post-war recovery efforts, and diverted monies from the military for that purpose."

?Stolen from Our Embrace?, 2005.
A review of the book, ?Stolen from Our Embrace? by Suzanne Fournier and Ernie Crey.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the basic story told in "Stolen from Our Embrace" by Suzanne Fournier and Ernie Crey is the story of a paternalistic government that believes it can do a better job of raising the children and how, in this case, it is the Canadian government that has pursued a policy of the removal of children from First Nations tribes. It looks at how, in the book, Fournier, a journalist, and Ernie Crey, one-time vice-president of the United Native Nations, recount the stories of many of these children, in some cases telling their own story (as does Ernie Crey), in other cases, acting as journalists and telling the stories of others. The effect is moving and informative at the same time and is clearly intended to ensure that such an injustice is not perpetrated again.
From the Paper
"The Crey family story is told first and offers a compendium of the ills that can be visited by the federal policy on one family and its community. As Ernie notes, ?My family would never again live in the same home or even be in the same room together? (30). Ernie also details his won political awakening and the steps he took to investigate this policy and its effects, conducting a public struggle that ultimately added to the problems facing his family by the tool taken on him."

Canada?s International Trade, 2004.
This paper discusses some of Canada's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats as a global trading nation.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Canada recently signed free trade agreements with the United States and Mexico (NAFTA), Chile, and Israel; because large populations originally from Asian nations now live in Canada, Canada has import and export opportunities with Asian nations, which are not readily available to other countries. The author points out two weaknesses. Canada has become almost too dependent on the United States, and it is extremely difficult to create a balance in its internal regulatory pressures. The paper relates that Canada?s liberal import-export mentality has opened its borders to business people and employees; this has proved to be overly tempting for criminals and terrorists attempting to maneuver their way into or out of the United States.
From the Paper
"But NAFTA presents far more opportunities than weaknesses. This can be demonstrated by the fact that the Canadian textile industry has flourished though NAFTA and the positive exposure that industry has received has translated into new lateral agreements with Japan, Hong Kong and China, Chile and other nations seeking high quality textile, clothing and shoe imports. Although recent scares with mad cow disease have curbed some cattle exports, overall the cattle industry in Canada is robust and appears to have a solid future exporting to Mexico through NAFTA who in turn would export to nations? they have free trade agreements with like Japan. The opportunities provided by free trade tariff protection will continue to help Canada export food products, textiles, clothing and footwear throughout the world."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
A brief biography of Rizzuto is presented, Rizzuto's current legal situation is described, and the involvement of national and international law enforcement groups in Rizzuto's arrest is investigated. Canadian and American legislation used to charge Rizzuto is outlined. In addition, the expected result of Rizzuto's legal problems is described, and the impact of his potential extradition on organized crime in Canada is discussed.
From the Paper
"Vito Rizzuto was born in the town of Cattolica Eraclea in Sicily in 1946 (Humphreys, The Man They Call). He immigrated to Montr?al with his family in 1954 (CBC News Online, INDEPTH). During Vito's high school years, his father was known to be associated with individuals involved in organized crime. When members of the Caruana-Cuntrera clan moved to Canada to avoid prosecution elsewhere, they soon became involved with Vito Rizzuto and his father. Vito Rizzuto married Sicilian Giovanna Cammalleni, and they had three children: sons Nicolo and Leonardo, and a daughter, Libertina. The Rizzuto family is extremely close, with several members living on the same street on Montr?al Island. Known as the Teflon Don, Vito Rizzuto is thought to be a leader of organized crime within Canada. He has known associations with organized crime leaders in Calgary, Vancouver, and New York, and is credited with helping bring a truce between known motorcycle gangs the Hell's Angels and the Rock Machine in Qu?bec. In the mid-1980s, Rizzuto fled to Venezuela for some time due to increased tensions with the Caruana-Cuntrera organization."

Canadian Political Power, 2005.
Discusses whether the concentration of power in the Prime Minister's office is a negative factor in Canadian politics.
3,405 words (approx. 13.6 pages), 5 sources, MLA, £ 68.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper asks whether the office of the Canadian Prime Minister is a behemoth that should be dismantled before one or another occupant of it becomes a megalomaniac. The paper questions if Canada?s Prime Minister, the office and/or the person filling it, is more powerful than is good or wise for Canada?s future.
From the Paper
"One might argue that Canada would want to avoid emulating anything U.S, at this precarious juncture in U.S. history especially, and as the power of the U.S. presidency is also being weighed by pundits from all ends of the political spectrum. Laxer noted ?modern technologies and the liberal ethos of the free market dissolved Canada?s distinctive culture. Grant predicted Canada?s demise in the long run because it had adopted American values ? (2000, p. 55). It is arguable that the office of the Prime Minister creates, for Canada, an atmosphere that emulates that of the United States. It is arguable that, if Canada wishes to continue a strong federal system that serves all its citizens, the office of the Prime Minister is indeed too powerful."

"I Heard the Owl Call my Name", 2005.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes Craven's book about a bishop who must tell his young Anglican missionary who is living in a remote Indian village in Canada that he has only two years, or less, left to live. The paper explains the conflict the bishop faces as to how and when to tell the young vicar and describes parts of the book, citing the page numbers to which these descriptions refer. Furthermore, the paper explores the book's theme about death and dying by referencing passages in the book and then explains how this book is, in addition to being a dramatic story, an historical and cultural look at Canadian Indians.
From the Paper
"Readers also know just how ?rough and tumble? and backwoods this setting is, when I page 19, a good description is given of the hang-logger ?Calamity Bill? (the opposite of Broadway?s ?Calamity Jane??). Because his float is subject to its nails coming loose when boats pass to fast and create wakes to rough, he is known to come out of his A-Frame ?shaking his fist and swearing? ? but the most interesting and raw rural aspect of Calamity Bill is the fact that the inner of his two sets of long-legged underwear is ?part of his skin.? The putrid smell of rancid underwear just might be close to the smell of death itself, although the author may not have intended for that linkage. "

Wheat Staple in Upper and Lower Canada, 2004.
Examines the history of wheat staple in Upper and Lower Canada
in the late 18th and early 19th Century.
3,159 words (approx. 12.6 pages), 9 sources, APA, £ 65.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The importance of wheat to the Canadian economy is not a new phenomenon. On the contrary, as far back as the 18th Century and earlier, there existed a significant agricultural sector. As the political environments differed in Upper and Lower Canada, though, so too did the development of agriculture, particularly the cultivation of wheat. To understand the importance of this crop, this paper sheds light on the impact of the wheat staple in the late 1700s and early 1800s on the Canadian economy. It presents information on different backgrounds and institutions that were involved and shows that the history of wheat cultivation in Lower Canada was greatly influenced by the colonial institutions of New France.
From the Paper
"This pattern of landowners moving into Lower Canada created a new demand for agricultural land. In addition to the existing French Canadian settlers who still farmed the seigneurial land, many English settlers either settled as new free-hold tenants, or bought seigneuries. Some French farmers were displaced onto land further north, away from the St. Lawrence where most of the seigneuries bordered. These displaced farmers were forced to attempt to cultivate less fertile land in order to serve the demand for wheat exports to Britain. This "displacement... was caused by the growing population on the established seigneuries... and the apparent unwillingness of French Canadians to leave their native land." (Marr, 1980, p83)."
