Multiculturalism vs. Biculturalism in Canada
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages. Canada is well known as being a multi-cultural country. In Quebec there is an official bilingualism of the French and English speaking factions. Any search for a theme to francophone-Anglophone relations must take into account the fact that the francophone community constitutes a cultural minority; today, Francophones comprise only twenty-seven percent of the Canadian population. This paper examines these issues as well as the sovereignty of Canada and the lost battle for the Federalist government. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Privatization of Health Care Issues in Canada and Albertans Current Battle
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the current issues involved with the privatization of health care in Canada. Canadians have been slowly absorbing more of personal medical costs within the last decade indicating a slow trend toward a private health care system in Canada. As federal funding decreases toward medicare, the provinces have had to pay for more and more of their medical costs especially in the provinces of Ontario and Alberta which currently have the highest costs per capita in medical care. Provincial governments, especially in Alberta, are slowly leaning toward the idea of privatization in order to decrease the burden placed on their government. Citizens and health organizations however, supported by the Canada Health Act are not interested in abandoning the current public system for fear of increased personal costs, decreased public health care and the possibility of a two-tier system resulting. Instead, they would like to see improvements to the current Canadian public health care systems in areas which currently cost Canadian citizens the most in personal health costs such as medications, home care, long-term care, dental care, physiotherapy in addition to more regimented reporting systems from health care centres and the Canadian government.

Privatization of Hydro Electricity in Ontario
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the recent deregulation and privatization of the Ontario hydro electricity market. Canada’s largest energy producer, the province of Ontario, has begun the process of deregulation and privatization of its energy industry in compliance with the Ontario Energy Competition Act passed in 1998 which gave the energy utilities to their municipalities and the municipalities two years to sell them, recruit private-sector partners or incorporate them. The initiation of the Act was delayed due to opposition and court rulings until May 1, 2002. This delay combined with favouritism found within the Ontario government, amalgamation of municipalities and government waiving of a debt-reducing tax to some of the former components of the energy system has led to a general lack of confidence and commitment of external investors into the Ontario energy market. The Act was meant to promote competition and relieve the province of the massive debt it amassed with the provincial run utility. At this point, time will tell if privatization will benefit the province and the consumer or whether privatization will be a financial nightmare as found in the state of California and the province of Alberta.
