While unions have been declining in the United States about 16% of U.S. workers are union members they remain strong in Canada, including about 37% of Canadian workers.

For a 250 million sq ft plant the rate per square feet comes to 0.25 whereas for an 80 million sq ft facility this rate is 0.43. The variable cost of this smaller plant is also about 150% of the bigger plant. So a new player trying to enter the industry with a smaller plant faces huge cost disadvantages. The other individual processes also seem to be scale intensive as evident from the importance of MES at each level of value chain. The government duties also make it difficult for small players to enter Canadian market.

Although the Inuit live modern way of life, many Inuit communities face significant challenges, such as living in some of the most crowded conditions in Canada. A 2006 survey said that “in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Québec, and Labrador, more than 15 000 Inuit were living in over-crowded conditions, and were the most likely to live in households with more than one family”(Aodla, par.10). Not only the Inuit young lack of access to healthcare, but also education for the Inuit is still problematic. For example, each village has its own school. Yet the dropout rate is still high among their youth.

Unlike today there were only a very few important cities although they contained a very small population in comparison to what our cities are made up of today.
Canadian Health Care: A Model for the United States? Kenneth Holcomb 11/27/2012 Like in many nations, the provision of health care is a source of great debate throughout Canada. At its most basic level, health cards are issued to all individuals enrolled in the program within their province, and everyone receives the same level of care. All essential basic care is covered through public funding, including not only maternity and infertility issues but also vision and dental care in some provinces. Because cosmetic and elective surgeries are not considered essential care, private insurance can be bought to cover these procedures, or they can be paid for out of pocket (Wikipedia).
