The increasing presence of humans in the Arctic is having a significant impact on the unique ecosystems that exist there. The permafrost and isolation is slowing the development of the resources down but due to the increasing temperatures the winters are getting shorter causing the permafrost to become shallower which will allow access to the resources making the economic value of the region very high. This is why the development of the Arctic regions should proceed with extreme caution, already there are rules being enforced such as the number of cars being allowed into the Nunavut territory, the amount of shipping and oil being allowed to be transported near the territory etc. These rules are helping to protect and conserve the Northern environment and allowing the passage to be an international waterway would make Canadian rules invalid because it is in international waters and the rules would then be subject to the laws of United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea that would not help protect the interests of Canadians living in the
With less ice, big ships will now be able to travel through the Arctic instead of going around it when importing and exporting things to different countries. Not to mention the fact that the Arctic has oil, and apparently lots of it. ! Im sure some people are thinking to themselves, “if Canada already owns the Arctic then why is this a debate?” the debate is not whether the Arctic belongs to canada, the debate is that other countries feel they have the right to own it just as much as us and have the means to take it at their will. Before countries like the States, Russia, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Iceland all decided they wanted a
Who gets in? a) Summary b) Theoretical approach c) What I have learned d) Previously held biases revealed in the paper e) Conclusion The Canadian states official public pronouncement, Rhetoric’s with respect to immigration objectives and benefits are very often not matched by Reality, what actually happens. The Canadian state develops its immigration policies to address what it hopes it can control but forgetting that other forces like global trade, Canadian economic performance and transnational migrant’s network play a significant role in determining what actually takes place and as a result, actually policy outcomes are often significantly different from those advanced in rhetoric. The state focus more on the
Has the image of drug induced kids left from the image of snowboarding? Look snowboarding today, everyone is snowboarding! You go to a resort, and skiing is the minority. Snowboarders are not sending signals of disrespect or rebellious druggies, they are only everyday “ordinary” people enjoying a fast growing sport that is popular among the younger
Solidarity Forever The longstanding political alliance between the Canadian labor movement and the New Democratic Party (NDP) has experienced new stresses in recent years. Whereas the NDP was widely considered the political arm of the labor movement during the Keynesian post-war period, under neoliberalism, the relationship between most unions and the NDP has become more tactical and less cohesive. This article surveys contemporary party-union relationships in Canada and examines how changes in legislature affect these relationships and establishes the fact that these relationships are essential. The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between organized labour and the New Democratic Party. As well as looking at the results
"This agreement gives us the chance to fix what's broken." In an interview, Perrin Beatty, CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, said the additional red tape and delays "is a serious issue for businesses" and leaves firms from both countries at a competitive disadvantage to offshore competitors. "We need to have action that makes the border more transparent for legitimate travellers and for legitimate cargo," Beatty
Imagine living along $5,000 miles of the Arctic Circle in a country like Russia, Alaska, North Canada or Greenland. You live in a marginal environment where it is impossible for individuals to cultivate food due to environment hindrances. You would have to rely on the environment for hunting and gathering so you would never stay in one place long, and could not have any material possessions, in fear of becoming encumbered when moving from place to place as the seasons change. This is how the Inuit culture of the Artic live. The Inuit’s of the Arctic have a driving force to survive and their success is primarily due to their settlement patterns and because their environment of a cold desert, they have an immediate return system so their consumption of food and other resources occurs immediately.
The elections are critical to Canadian citizens. Both adults and youth should be involved in voting. Canada should revise its foreign policy and bring our troops abroad back home. The environment is also of great concern to us, and we need to start thinking for tomorrow’s generation. The major issue today is the economy.
There are many things, words, or people that may try and define Canada and its political culture between the 1990's and present, but to be truly honest one must come to the conclusion that unless you intend to write more than a few measly sentences, you may not even come close. Now when many people try to describe the political culture of Canada they think of three things that have shaped the politics of our nation recently, the separatist movement in Quebec, the emergence of conservatism in the west, and the blow the Liberals have taken due to the emergence of the Sponsorship scandal and the Gomery inquiry. These three things, all encompassed into a single nation of politics is what shapes our nation today, and maybe even defines the term of Canadian political culture. Since the days when the first English - French confrontation happened in the recently discovered Canada, political culture in Quebec has always been different from the rest of the country. The French-Canadians have always been looking for and perhaps maybe pushing towards a separate and sovereign country of their own.
Employment equality has remains a very controversial and unresolved issue in Canada. Our country is growing in diversity and in this our employment laws had to be adapted to except these changes. These laws and legislations have had a great impact in employment and have affected the way companies do business in relation to the employment process. The statutory and common laws have created base regulations to remove the barriers in the workplace. Some many argue that these laws have affected employment relationships negatively.
