Abstract
The debate in Canada over free trade with the United States has always been heated. Both sides have consistently pointed to evidences that appear to support their own argument. There has, for instance, been reason to believe that free trade has had a beneficial impact on Canada. But this story is somewhat more complicated since the overall impact of free trade on Canada appears to remain negative. Because the American and Canadian relationship is uneven to begin with, it has been no surprise that the United States has benefited disproportionately to the agreement.

Abstract
Free trade with the United States has not been of net benefit to Canadians. This paper points to how harder aspects of the adjustment to free trade in Canada have been dismissed as mere 'growing pains' of adjustment. It is emphasized that the 1980s Debate did not really grapple with possible detrimental effects as these were pushed to the background in order to ratify a most questionable agreement.

Abstract
This paper will argue that this decline was due, not to one single reason, but to a convergence of forces. Key among these were: welfare capitalism; the rise of Catholic unions in Quebec; a fragmented national labour movement; and, perhaps most importantly, an economic depression in the early 1920s.

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact of the fur trade on native people. The paper presents the argument that the fur trade, especially in the early years was driven by the Natives and the impact this had on the economy of Canada. It suggests that they were smart business people with a strong ability to discern quality and trading abilities.
From the Paper
"The Nature and Impact of the Fur Trade The development of Canada is very different from the development of many other industrial countries. This is because Canada has what is traditionally known as a 'staples economy'. In Globalization and Canadian Economic and Industrial Strategy James M. Gillies says, They pointed out that Canada's economic development could all be explained by the overwhelming abundance in Canada of 'staple products' which they defined as bulky, semi-processed, natural commodities with a high-weight-to-volume ratio, which were produced for export (Gillies 187). This meant that much of Canada's development was based on the extraction or harvesting of natural resources such as fish, fur and timber."

A paper which examines the male dominance of the hospitality trade in Canada.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper establishes an understanding of gender inequality in the hospitality industry in Canada. The paper identifies the reasons why men dominate managerial positions in Canada, discusses reasons for preferential treatment for men in the hospitality industry, and examines potential motivations for females to pursue managerial positions and any obstacles they face.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, Canadian women face discrimination based not only on their gender, but also on race, age, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation. Yet many continue to pursue management positions in the service and hospitality industries for numerous reasons, including higher pay, better job security, more benefits and a more respectable title. The absence of human resource policies and strategies in many companies in this field is a deterrent to gender diversity. The work environment and culture are not conducive to promoting women in management. This prevents women's accessibility to top management positions. For example, there are no programs to facilitate the advancement of women as role models, absence of mentoring programs, and lack of management training programs."

Abstract
This paper examines how Canadian trade policies are a major influence on the nation's recent successful economic performance. It looks at how one key to Canada's economic success was the fact that it combined forces with the United States and Mexico in the North American Free Trade Agreement. The paper then discusses how, although NAFTA has made Canada overly dependent on a few nations, Canada has established other free trade ties around the world and will continue to be an international trading force to be reckoned with.
From the Paper
"Canada does have weaknesses in their armor. One of Canada's greatest concerns is the continued positive surge of the United States economy. Through NAFTA, Canada has become almost too dependent on the United States. In addition, other weaknesses have manifested themselves as it seems to be extremely difficult for the Canadian government to create a balance between some internal regulatory pressure and that complicates external trade relations. For example, the Canadian government is notoriously protective of their agricultural and dairy industries as well as their automotive export import ratios. Other concerns expressed from Canada's various trading partners include restrictive taxation for the foreign film distribution and production industries and attempts to blatantly dump steel on Chile and the Untied States.

Canada's Trade Policy, 2007.
This paper reviews the book "A Trading Nation: Canadian Trade Policy from Colonialism to Globalization", by Michael Hart.
1,649 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 86.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines Michael Hart's thesis that Canadian trade policy has too often been shaped by political considerations rather than economic ones and this trend has led to economic dislocation that could have been avoided. The writer agrees with Hart in general, noting his lucid arguments in favor of free trade and his especially cogent argument in favor of NAFTA. The writer concludes that Michael Hart has made a valuable contribution to existing literature.
From the Paper
"Hart's defense of his thesis really begins early on in his work. For one thing, Hart notes that Canada has actually been strengthened in some respects by a heavily-regulated international trade situation insofar as such an arrangement actually makes it less vulnerable to unilateral and arbitrary decisions in Washington or elsewhere (8). Simply on its surface, this assertion makes a great deal of sense: Canada is a nation of just over 30 million souls; the United States has about ten times that number and possibly a 100 times the economic clout world-wide. Furthermore, other nations like Russia, China, India and even "western European" nations like France, Germany and Great Britain all have considerably greater human and capital resources than does Canada."

Abstract
This paper shows how the FTA and the NAFTA help the Canadian economy export and import into the United States?s economy. It also discusses how essential the American economy is for Canada to succeed in the international business arena.
From the Paper
"The Canadian economy is largely affected by the United States economy through the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The North American Free Trade Agreement was an agreement that came into effect on January 1,1995 which involves Mexico, Canada and the United States of America. This agreement has been said to produce 1 billion to 3 billion dollar gains in each country. NAFTA ensures that a certain amount of goods produced and traded between the three countries has to have a minimum percentage of its parts produced in North America."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"While many detractors of NAFTA predicted that trade deficits would be the only result of this agreement, they also failed to observe that overall exports to these two other markets, the U.S. and Mexico, would increase greatly as well. Because the U.S. is such a large market it was expected to maintain an overall trade deficit but that NAFTA allowed Canada to increase its trade exports across such a wide swath of industries has been a boon to its economy. Dong states that most consumer products increased in amount vis-a-vis trade among the member states of NAFTA (26). Such an overall increase in consumer-oriented products would have been largely impossible without NAFTA guaranteeing market access to these two neighbouring countries. However, NAFTA's benefits seem to have benefited Canada more than the U.S. where its exports only increased meaningfully in a few product categories such as dog food whereas with Canada such increases were almost inclusive of every product category (Dong 26). Canada's increases in foreign trade and in trade relationships with the U.S. through the NAFTA apparatus elevated its status internationally."

The Impact of the NAFTA upon Canada, 2008.

Abstract
The following paper argues that NAFTA has had a significant impact upon Canada. It further argues that Canada's free trade arrangement with the United States will pull it into the U.S. orbit in ways that will eventually make Canadian independence of any kind impossible. The possibility of a North American Monetary Union and the foundation for structures like a joint customs union are credible now in a way they arguably were not prior to the ratification of NAFTA. The paper claims that Canada allows itself to be bound more and more tightly to the American economy through vehicles such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and political and socio-cultural integration.
From the Paper
"Others go further to argue that Canada's free trade arrangement with the United States will pull it into the U.S. orbit in ways that will eventually make Canadian independence of any kind impossible. For example, the possibility of a North American Monetary Union and the foundation for structures like a joint customs union are credible now in a way they arguably were not prior to the ratification of the NAFTA. As well, one should not forget that the events of 9/11 have made some kind of "deeper" North American integration seem desirable to many (Gilbert, 202-203). In the end, as Canada allows itself to be bound more and more tightly to the American economy through vehicles such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, political and socio-cultural integration (already well-advanced in the latter case) will become more pronounced, as well.

Abstract
This paper will examine the impact of recent immigration to Canada. This will consider the effectiveness of Canadian immigration policy by taking into consideration the benefits and costs to Canada of receiving immigrants. The main hypothesis that this paper will present is that government policy restricting immigration has had a significant impact on the relative benefits and costs of immigration within Canada. Also, overall, Canadian immigration has had a favourable impact on the country though the composition of immigration has changed significantly during recent years.

Free Trade vs. Managed Trade, 2002.
A comparison of free trade to managed trade in today's global economy.
1,275 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 5 sources, MLA, AU$ 70.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares the values of free trade to managed trade. It begins by defining trade and identifying the ideal trade. The paper argues that free trade is the best policy to increase prosperity and equality in a capitalist society. It describes managed trade as the current situation, as tariffs and trade policy try to create fair grounds for commerce between two nations, as seen through the example of Japan and the United States. The writer states that protectionist policies, as used in managed trade, have been the anthem of the past and have led to war and conflict.
From the Paper
"Trade is the exchange of goods and services between two countries. In order for trade to be successful, both sides must perceive that they benefit from the exchange, or the trade will not take place. In a perfect world, both parties go away from the trade happy that they have ridded themselves of something of which they have surplus, and gained something of value to them. However, in the real world, this does not happen all of the time and one party or the other walks away feeling ?cheated.?

Free Trade/ Fair Trade, 2007.
An argumentative essay on the benefits of fair trade over free trade.
2,280 words (approx. 9.1 pages), 2 sources, MLA, AU$ 113.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes how those that promote free trade claim that overall production and profit is the highest good, and define efficiency and success as the ability to produce great quantities and great profit with a business. Those in support of fair trade, however, point out that productivity itself is not a good, but is only useful inasmuch as it improves the lives of the mass of people. The paper examines whether
countries should be allowed to protect their industries with tariffs or control them with regulations, despite the concerns or desires of other countries.
From the Paper
"Of these two arguments, Morris' is by far the most convincing, in part because he is far more holistic in his analysis of the situation. Irwin focuses primarily on the over-all financial gains for nations, but does not specify who those gains go to. Though he seems to believe that an overall per capita increase in national product will raise national standards of living, he seldom produces evidence to this effect and does not take into consideration that what may be true for one nation, such as Japan, would not be true for another nation which was emerging from a long history of serious economic depression (such as former colonies). Moreover, he seems to confuse personal well being with the well being of the international money market."
