Abstract
The paper examines the Canadian economy by focusing on Canada's past performance, political and economic structures and other growth factors such as future sustainability, specific sector performance and resource allocation. The paper utilizes these statistics in order to illustrate how political and economic differences impact the growth and development of nations.
From the Paper
"The notion of development is one that is fundamental to economics and to society as a whole. The increase in the wellbeing of a country's population by increasing education levels, lowering disease rates, increasing life expectancy, increasing average per capita incomes as well as improving the infrastructure in place to allow development to continue to occur in the future is essential to that country's people and its economy. The difference between MDCs and LDCs, of what they do and do not have, is tied in many ways to economics. Canada, a MDC, provides an example of what a wealthy country has which allows it to prosper and further develop ahead of the LDCs. By examining Canada's past performance, political and economic structures and other growth factors such as future sustainability, specific sector performance and resource allocation it is possible to see how Canada is different from LDCs in terms of development."

Abstract
The paper relates that Douglas Coupland's work usually features short essays and photographs of his home town of Vancouver, British Columbia, depicting his affection for his country. The paper focuses on Coupland's piece "Group of Seven," where he shows his admiration for the Group of Seven, artists who loved Canada and loved exploring and painting it. The paper then describes the group of seven pioneering artists who banded together in Toronto over fifty years ago and were determined to change Canadian art.
From the Paper
"Douglas Coupland, the renowned writer and artist, was born in a Canadian Air Force base near Baden-Sollingen, Germany, on December 30, 1961 (Chung, par.1). In 1965, his family moved to Vancouver, Canada where he still resides (Chung, par.1). He graduated from Sentinel Secondary School located in West Vancouver in 1979 (Chung, par.2). After graduating, Coupland attended the Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver in 1984 (Chung, par.2). He then traveled to Milan, Italy and Sapporo in Japan (Chung, par.2). In Japan, he completed a two-year course in Japanese business science in 1986 (Chung, par.2). After he came back home to Canada he enjoyed early, but somehow limited, success as a young sculptor (Chung, par.2). He managed to get a small solo-show at the Vancouver Art Gallery (Chung, par.2)."

A North American Monetary Union, 2005.
An exploration of the idea of a monetary union in North America and its impact on the nations associated with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Abstract
A single currency in NAFTA has been an issue that has become more frequent today in North America. In determining whether this is a good decision or not it is important to review the pros and cons of having a single currency. This paper analyzes what might be the impact if the nations of the North American Free Trade Agreement were to launch a monetary union policy. The paper also discusses the advantages and disadvantages for each nation and its impact on the economy. Graphs are provided where relevant.
From the Paper
"Some of the Canadian politicians like Courchene and Harris have argued that if Canada creates a monetary union with the United States it would "reduce transaction costs, that is how much it costs to make a certain trade in terms of time. These costs are incurred because of border-related paperwork and the use of two currencies that fluctuate in value against each other. A monetary union would relieve companies of these costs, reduce the paperwork and offer a more stable macro-economic environment allowing for more accurate calculation of profit margins." According to the above statements and research it is apparent that a single currency would be beneficial to MNEs in NAFTA in many different ways especially in terms of financial costs."

Canadian Theater, 2005.
This paper discuses the use of theater to build Canada's national identity.
1,405 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 7 sources, MLA, £ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, because drama possesses all of the abilities to communicate ideas successfully, the theater is the perfect medium to express Canada's national identity. The author points out that, in addition to inheriting influences from native and European drama, Canadians are experimenting with different styles of plays, which encourages the development of its own theatrical techniques. The paper relates that, by using theater to reinforce its culture, Andrew Allan's "We All Hate Toronto" and "The Farm Show" by The Theatre Passe Murailles are helping to develop a Canadian national identity.
From the Paper
"The issue of whether Canada has its own identity has been an ongoing question. Many people perceive Canada as a weaker version of the United States, some see us as people who live in the snow, and others believe that we are lumberjacks. This is a huge problem for Canada, and as a country, we must do something about it. We must find a way to separate us from the United States; we must find a way to let everyone around the globe know who we really are. One way in which we are doing this is exhibiting our national identity through drama."

Hospice Care, 2007.
This paper discusses whether hospice care is the way to the future.
1,813 words (approx. 7.3 pages), 13 sources, APA, £ 41.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper seeks to better understand what hospice care entails in Canada. It reviews some of the barriers faced by patients, families and palliative nurses with end of life issues. It discusses how quality of care at the end of life has many significant issues. The writer notes that countless citizens who could benefit from palliative care do not receive it or obtain it during the last few days or weeks of their illness. The author touches on strategies for overcoming the existing barriers in community based hospice care as well as how nurses can be leaders in ensuring that appropriate palliative care is received.
From the Paper
"Hospice care is not only for the patient; but for their family and friends as well. Emotional, spiritual, physical and social needs are addressed by the palliative team. Hospice provides tailored services in a caring community where patients and families attain the required groundwork for a death that is satisfactory to them. The nature of dying is one of a kind so that the goal of the hospice team is to be responsive and receptive to the special needs of each individual and family."
"Although hospice-palliative nurses bring expert knowledge and skills to the delivery of comprehensive and empathetic care to persons and families living with advanced illness, studies reveal that due to enormous barriers in end-of-life care in nursing homes and patients' residences, unnecessary suffering occurs at the bedside."

Canada's National Identity, 2007.
This paper examines Philip Resnick's work "The European Roots of Canadian Identity".
2,736 words (approx. 10.9 pages), 8 sources, MLA, £ 58.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses Philip Resnick's essay on the European influences, both historical and contemporary, that have helped shape Canada's political and social culture. The paper explains how he argues that instead of using the United States as the model of comparison when discussing Canadian national identity, Canadians should look to their European counterparts with whom they share many similarities. The paper labels Resnick as a major voice in the debate on Canadian unity and nationhood.
From the Paper
"What makes a text worthy of such thorough analysis, requiring the full literary energies, of over one hundred and fifty students? The answer becomes quite clear from the onset of reading Philip Resnick's essay on the Eurpean influences, both historical and contemporary, that have helped shape Canada's political and social culture. The European Roots of Canadian Identity is a thought provoking and in fact quite convincing essay on the question that will probably haunt our national psyche indefinitely (perhaps a defining national feature in itself): the question of Canadian identity. Resnick, a staunch Canadian nationalist, is this country's main proponent of Euro-Canadianism."

Same Sex Marriage from a Legal and Social Perspective, 2007.
This paper looks at same-sex marriage and homosexual rights in Canada from a legal and social perspective.

Abstract
In this article, the writer deals with the contemporary debate over the legal and social acceptance of homosexual couples. The paper maintains that, from legal perspective, the acceptance of homosexual couples is supported under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, as well as the case of "M. v. H". The writer concludes that, protected legally under sections 2 and 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, homosexuals are legally accepted as part of society; with equal rights as heterosexuals. The writer maintains that, if some find homosexuality to be a problem, they must still realize that homophobia, hate crimes, and overall discrimination is not the solution.
From the Paper
"Canada is well known for being a 'tossed salad', rather than a melting pot of cultures like the United States. This is due to its acceptance of different cultures and promotion of cultural diversity. In such a diverse society it is difficult to create laws that are pleasing to all. Pluralism in Canada does not cease at culture alone, but also includes religion and sexual orientation. Homosexuality has become a rising issue in society and should be accepted in the same manner as cultural and religious diversity. Unfortunately, this is not the case. From a social standpoint, homosexuality may be found morally corrupt for those with certain ethical and religious principles. Contrarily, it may be found as a new form of self-expression and freedom for those who wish to condone or practice it. From a legal standpoint, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the freedom of association, as well as the freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression."

Abstract
The paper discusses Canada's involvement, past and present, in the conflicts in the Middle East relative to other nations. The paper details the numerous conflicts in the Middle East over the years. The paper explores the contributions of other nations towards the Middle East peace process and demonstrates how the contributions of Canada, unlike many other nations, are effective, but silent.
From the Paper
"Past and present, the Middle East has been in a constant state of chaos, involving nations worldwide. Progressing negatively with no major improvement, many third parties, alongside the Arab nations, have put forth constant efforts, despite many failures, in an attempt to restore the Middle East to its once peaceful state. The active contributions by many nations, including the United States of America, and the Soviet Union, have been witnessed and recognized worldwide. The contributions of Canada, unlike the many other nations, are effective, but silent."

Canadian Primary Health Care, 2007.
This paper explores Canadian primary health care and its delivery of services to children with mental disorders.
1,955 words (approx. 7.8 pages), 18 sources, MLA, £ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses Canada's primary health care struggles in meeting the needs of children with mental illness. The paper illustrates the challenges faced by nurses but shows how they are endeavoring to to meet these challenges. The paper discusses how nurses will be participating in new roles that encompass early child development, education, social services, child protection and mental disease prevention.
From the Paper
"Canadians requiring health care typically contact a primary health care provider such as a physician, nurse, dietician or social worker who works collaboratively with other professionals. Services that are rendered at the initial point of contact within the health care system are referred to as primary health care services and outline the basis of our Medicare system (Canadian Nurses Association, 1995). A strong primary health care system is vital to sustaining the future. Nonetheless, there are some worrisome health trends in Canada particularly seen in rising rates of obesity, injury, asthma, risky behaviors, sexually transmitted diseases, poverty and mental illness in our children and adolescents (Canadian Council on Social Development, 2006)."

Patient Safety in the Community, 2007.
This paper discusses the issue of patient safety in Canada's public health care system.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 11 sources, MLA, £ 40.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that despite the rapid shift from institutional to community care, limited attention has been given to gauging or evaluating patient safety in the Canadian public sector. This paper sets out to define key terms in patient safety within the public health movement. The writer examines barriers that exist within the public health division and discusses significant patient safety issues. Further, the writer defines strategies for incorporating safety into the community arena and provides examples of current programs within the community that employ patient safety principles. The writer concludes that by preventing illness, injury and disease from adverse events, the sustainability of the publicly funded health care is strengthened as investments in prevention divert pressures over the long term.
From the Paper
"Changes brought on by the strains of the 21st century are revolutionizing the face of health care in Canada. Over the last ten years numerous countries including Canada have begun to focus on safety issues as pressures mount to target and reduce preventable injuries and death amongst patients. The epidemiological investigations that sparked these labors have demonstrated a consistently high level of error, although the spotlight has been almost exclusively on acute care settings. Surprisingly, most research has besieged regulated systems such as hospitals, even though literature shows a growing demand for home care services in Canada. Organized institutions such as hospitals are able to provide care with specialized professionals and support staff however the home care environment is much less controlled. Patient care is often supplied by unregulated healthcare personnel and family members in a location that was intended for living not for health care."

Niche Diplomacy, 2007.
An overview of the use of niche diplomacy with a focus on its use in Canadian foreign policy.
3,542 words (approx. 14.2 pages), 11 sources, MLA, £ 70.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the main focus of niche diplomacy, as its name implies, is that of selecting specific "niches", which a nation's foreign policy will follow. It gives an overview of niche diplomacy; its definition, importance and examples of this diplomacy from history around the world. It uses the Canadian diplomacy as a case study and reviews argumentative essays around this topic, mainly the collection of argumentative essays titled "International Relations In The Post Cold War Era" by Evan H. Potter.
From the Paper
"Smith then points out three limitations of niche diplomacy. These limitations are: Firstly, the vagueness of niche criteria combined with the lack of a clear method of niche inception, as well as there being no clear definition of when a niche ceases to exist; secondly, that there is an elitist element at the hart of niche diplomacy; and thirdly, that the policy of niche diplomacy with its over-focus on economics legitimizes what Smith defines as, "balance sheet diplomacy" (Smith 172). Smith then suggests that these limitations contribute significantly to the widening of the commitment-credibility gap, which niche diplomacy is supposed to narrow."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews the current and changing epidemiology of tuberculosis and the reasons why. It discusses how the epidemiological data demonstrates that TB in Canada is retreating into focal geographic areas and demographically well-defined populations that can be targeted for increased control and eradication efforts. It looks at how a significant proportion of TB in Canada is potentially preventable through the administration of preventive therapy to high-risk groups.
Outline:
TB Surveillance
Anatomic Disease Site
Infectiousness
National Trends
Geographic Distribution
Age Distribution
Sex Distribution
Ethnic Origin
Risk Factors
Conclusion
From the Paper
"As many as one in five Canadians were infected with TB in their lifetime at the turn of the 19th century, however, with the combination of an improved standard of living, public health interventions to interrupt transmission, and effective treatment, the morbidity and mortality rates of TB have been greatly reduced, and have made the elimination of TB in Canada a viable possibility. In spite of this, influx of greater numbers of immigrants from countries with a high prevalence of TB, continuing high case rates among aboriginal people, and the spread of HIV threaten this objective for the immediate future.

Paying Attention: Voting Intention and Voter News Consumption, 2004.
Evaluates the link between voting intention and news consumption; based on research data collected during the 2000 Canadian federal election.

Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to investigate the connection between the amount of attention paid to news coverage in elections by citizens, and the effects of this on voting intention. Analysing secondary source data from the 2000 Canadian federal election, this paper finds that the only significant correlations between voting intention and attention paid to news were found amongst television viewers and newspaper readers. The data shows that the more attention individuals pay to news, the more they move away from being an undecided voter and towards identifying with a party.

"Paul Nesbitt-Larking argues that the media love elections because they "possess all the qualities of first class sporting events-provide cheap thrills for the media, who are able to garner much good material for little or no expenditure. Elections are easy because the protocols and rhythms of what will take place have been reasonably well established." If he is correct, then the 2000 Canadian federal election should have had Canadian media salivating. It was momentous for many reasons. It was the first election of a new millennium. It marked the third campaign as incumbent begun by then Prime Minister Jean ChrA(c)tien who, if he won (which he did), would have been handed with his fellow Liberals their third majority government. Finally, adding drama, there was a new, right-of-centre party on the scene in the form of the Canadian Alliance led by a young, charismatic, sea-doo riding leader by the name of Stockwell Day. Arguably therefore, it could be expected that the media would dramatically increase its coverage of the election campaign. By doing so however, the media become not just passive observers of the election, but also active participants and take for themselves the ability to, within newscasts especially, prime the electorate as to which issues are important."

Abstract
The paper reviews the manner in which the nations of the United States and Canada address illegal immigration, specifically at the northern US border. The paper looks at the major elements; laws, bureaucratic initiatives and legal sanctions employed by the United States to secure its northern border. The paper also looks at where the Canadian approach is similar and where it is markedly different.
From the Paper
"Illegal immigration into America via its southern border has received a great deal of attention for a very long time. However, America also has a northern border about which it should be concerned because this border - the Canada-US border - is allowing into the United States people who constitute a grave threat to the lives of every-day Americans. With this in mind, the following paper will explore illegal immigration into the US via the Canadian border by looking at how each country deals with the problem."
