Telecom Industry in Winnipeg
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the local area of Winnipeg, Manitoba in terms of business, industry and demographic changes as they could affect the telecommunications industry there. Two other companies currently offer telephone and related communications services, but there appears to be room for at least one more. Competition is not the evil monster that businesses seem to believe it is. It is quite healthy from both the consumer and the provider points of view, leading to increased innovation and market control of prices. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Telehealth Nursing in Ontario, Canada
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the Telehealth Ontario nursing system in Ontario, Canada. Telehealth Ontario is a free around the clock health care consultation service which has been available to Ontario citizens since February 2001. The service allows a patient to call a toll free number and talk instantly to health care professionals who are Registered Nurses with over five years experience and have had additional training in telemedicine. The service is beneficial in many ways. Primarily, the service offers patients from rural communities who are often hours away from a health care center the opportunity to have their symptoms assessed by a professional without leaving their home. This not only cuts down on travel costs for the patients but also on admittance costs to the hospitals. The TeleHealth network is also used as a consultation service for specialists in urban centers to be able to assess cases which may be hundreds of miles away. The service also offers general confidential health advice in areas such as dermatology, cardiology, healthy lifestyles, psychiatry and teenage issues just to name a few. Since its introduction, the service has fielded nearly one million calls and allowed for a savings throughout the health care system which has essentially paid for itself.

The Advancement of Equal Rights in Canada in Relation to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing whether or not Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has allowed for significant advancement of equality rights in Canada. In 1982, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms included within it Section 15 on “Equality Rights” which guaranteed all individuals equal protection before and under the law without any discrimination especially based on any of the nine factors of “race, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, sex, age, or mental or physical disability”. The second part of the Section also guaranteed the right to affirmative action programs without discrimination. Since that time, the concepts of “equality” and human dignity have become a prominent aspect of the law and even within cases which are not based on Constitutional concerns, equality is very much a large part. Different elements of the legal system have undergone revisions in order to recognize the need for equality within all areas. Some areas such as age discrimination or interprovincial legal differences still need further development in regards to the inequality which still exists. Overall however, it has been felt that the Charter has brought about a noticeable improvement in regards to equality in the country especially concerning the rights of women and minorities and the increased awareness within the legal system that equality is considered an important element of every case.

The Bioaccumulation of Toxins in the Canadian Arctic
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the bioaccumulation of toxins in the Canadian Arctic. Presence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) which include pesticides, industrial compounds, and combustion by-products are one of the major environmental and health concerns within the Canadian Arctic regions today. Measurement of POP bioconcentration or bioaccumulation levels within the Arctic have determined that the toxic contaminants primarily do not originate within the Arctic and therefore are transported there through air or water currents or migratory animals. The contaminants are considered persistent because they are able to exist for a great length of time and can tolerate many conditions. POPs are also lipophilic in which they are concentrated in the fats of animals. Because of this, bioaccumulation levels are higher in those animals which are higher on the food chain such as humans and polar bears as the contaminants get passed on through the digestion of the fat of animals with POPs in their system and makes them an extreme health hazard.

The Canadian Criminal Code: A Numbers Game?
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) In the case of prisons, the United States is the leader in incarceration rates in the Western world, while Canada is usually ranked in the top three. It is estimated that 4,000,000 offenders will be imprisoned in the United States by the year 2000. In Canada, as compared to the U.S., there is less punitiveness in sentencing for most crimes, but the trends for "getting tough" are emerging. Changes in juvenile justice legislation and judges' sentencing practices, and the tightening of parole guidelines are increasing Canada's incarceration rate perceptibly Bibliography lists 7 sources.

The Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST)
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST). Since its implementation in January 1991, the Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been an excessive burden to the consumers, businesses, corporations, financial institutions and the federal government itself. The initial implementation costs because of manufacturer costs associated with new accounting systems alone for example reached an estimated $1 million per taxpayer. The continuing annual administration costs to comply are estimated at around $500,000 per taxpayer in addition to a total cost to small businesses of over $1.2 billion annually. The Tax Executives Institute was hired in 1994 to assess the system and while it admitted that the GST system was better for international business than the previous FST (the federal sales tax system it replaced but was invisible to the consumer), overall the administration of the system should be modified to have a higher threshold for registration (introduced and still at $30,000 for small businesses), a lower tax rate, but with fewer exemptions to decrease administrative costs among others. The government did not implement these recommendations so that in addition to the continued annual burden on tax payers in Canada, according to the budget released in February 2003 the government now has to reimburse several educational and municipal organizations for GST payments retroactive to the year the GST was introduced; an additional cost to the Canadian tax payer which has yet to be determined.

The Canadian Health Care System
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page overview of Canada’s health care system, conducted for the purpose of assessing its appropriateness for consideration by the United States. The Canadian system looks much more attractive for US consideration now than in the past, as increasing numbers of US citizens are left without access to care. The health care industry in the US refuses to take on any business-like operational rules aside from that of building profits; the Canadian system may now be wholly appropriate for the US to seriously consider.
