The Organizational and Cultural Climate of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the organization and the cultural climate of the RCMP. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) as the national policing force in Canada has grown in its organization and outreach capacities considerably since its formation in 1873. Originally formed to patrol the Prairie regions and establish relationships with the First Nations in that area, the Force has grown into an national organization with international relationships. Structurally, the organization is based under the Commissioner in Ottawa at its Headquarters but through the recent development of four regions, the administrative duties have been delegated on a regional basis. In addition to the core administrative structure, the RCMP members are encouraged to continue their education in the understanding of multicultural communities within Canada and on an international basis. The members do this in many different ways such as certification through their online university; organization of cultural awareness sessions within their communities; becoming involved with many volunteer organizations such as the Musical Ride; and, participating in international policing efforts.

The Process of Healthcare Funding in Ontario, Canada
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the process of funding healthcare in Ontario, Canada. The process of the healthcare system in Ontario and the other provinces and territories of Canada is multi-level. The citizens of the province of Ontario, Canada enjoy universal healthcare which is considered a right according to the Canada Health Act. People pay for this health care through their income taxes and sometime also pay for additional services through supplementary payments in an employer health care plan. The federal government then transfers a percentage of funds to each province allocated for healthcare. The Ontario government then grants community and teaching hospitals in the province funding based on their annual budgetary reports. This varies according to the percentage received from the federal government. The responsibility for the administration of funds then lies with the individual health care facilities. Individual hospitals use the grant money received from the province and allocate those funds in their institution. Teaching and community hospitals within the same communities often share services in order to be more cost-effective. Hospitals also received some funding from community fund-raising efforts and income from rental properties. Physicians within the province are paid by fee-for-service; fees which are negotiated with and limited by the province each year. As the federal funding decreases each year, so too does the provincial funding for the individual institutions. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Treatment and Internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the treatment and internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II. Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese Canadians lived as commercial fishermen, miners, forester, and merchants and were allowed to join the armed forces to fight for Canada. After the attack on Pearl Harbor however, the Canadian and American governments both evacuated their Japanese populations and sent them to various internment camps for the duration of the war. In Canada, the province of British Columbia had the largest Japanese population of over 23,000 and 21,000 of these were sent inland to camps across the country in order to “safe guard” and protect the coast of Canada. The homes and possessions of the Japanese Canadians were confiscated and sold. After the war, the Japanese were not allowed to move back to B.C. or else they would be deported. By 1949, they were allowed back into B.C. but by that time many had started lives elsewhere. Finally, in 1988, the Canadian Government and the National Association of Japanese Canadians agreed on a Redress settlement. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Use of Promissory Estoppel as a Shield and not a Sword: Canadian Cases and Arguments
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the concept of promissory estoppel as a shield and not a sword in consideration of Canadian legal cases. Promissory estoppel is a legal term based upon a principle where someone who has relied upon a gratuitous promise may be able to enforce it and based on one definition by the Legal Information Institute is stated as “the doctrine allowing recovery on a promise made without consideration when the reliance on the promise was reasonable, and the promise relied to his or her detriment”. Promissory estoppel is used as a defensive action and because of this is considered best used as a “shield” and not as a “sword” from a legal standpoint. Using Canadian cases which have utilized the promissory estoppel tool, defensively it is much easier implemented and easier to realize when a case fulfills the requirements for promissory estoppel. Cases which have attempted to use promissory estoppel as a “sword” have been less successful because often vital elements necessary for the fulfillment of promissory estoppel are not met such as agreement of action, equity, unambiguous consensus and consideration.
