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

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.

The Culture of Hockey and Its Violence in Canada
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the culture of hockey in Canada despite its violent aspects. Canadians are introduced into the world of hockey at a very young age. Young players are drafted into the Canadian National Hockey League during their mid-teens and leave their homes to be billeted across the country in the hopes that they will one day be drafted further into the professional level National Hockey League. Although violence in the game has been studied back three decades, Canadians and players seem to accept violence as a natural part of the game. Violence has been shown to increase depending on the level of play and the “winning at all costs” attitude which has been accepted as the priority. Recent studies have unveiled some violent aspects of the sport which have occurred not only on the ice but also off the ice between the coaches and the players. Despite the level of violence throughout the sport however, Canadians continue to embrace the sport within their own culture which has attained levels of mythical proportions.

The Descent of the Fraser River: A Critical Analysis
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages. Simon Fraser was an explorer who discovered what was thought to be the Columbia River but is now known as the Fraser River. The harrowing and dangerous experiences this explorer and his men went through are almost beyond belief. This paper gives an assessment of Simon Fraser, his character, and evidence supporting this viewpoint. Also discussed is how this event would be told from the point of view of a Native American.

The Future of Healthcare in Canada: The Influence and Role of Nurses and Their Professional Groups in the Recommendations in the Romanow Report
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 21 page paper discussing how nursing as a professional group may influence the changes and recommendations in the Romanow report for the future of health care in Canada. On November 28, 2002, Roy Romanow and the Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada released its final report. This report highlights recommendations in key areas in health care including Medicare; issues in primary health care; prevention and promotion; key measurement tools through the development of the Health Council of Canada; innovation and delivery through information technology; access for rural and remote communities; homecare; prescription drugs; and, Aboriginal health among many other factors and includes funding commitments for these recommendations. The nursing associations across Canada including representatives from the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) and the Canadian Federation of Nurses’ Unions (CFNU) have supported the Romanow Report as a “remarkable blueprint for building Medicare’s second generation and strengthening the public’s access to nurses” as well as the reforms which “will shorten waiting time and improve care” overall. The professional nursing groups have an active interest in all aspects of the Romanow report which not only broadens the roles and responsibilities of the nurses in Canada but increases the number of programs which will be affiliated with nursing. Most important in regards to nurses’ roles in the recommendations of the report are those which relate to measurement outcomes from an administrative and informative approach; those which relate to various commitments to innovations within the industry and primary care access; homecare access; and the new legislation proposed in regards to the entire health human resources.
