The idea of having a confederation in Canada was highly debatable as it would affect each colony and region differently. Canada West and Canada East shared similar views on going through with a confederation, where as some areas thought differently. Being that the majority of the population in Canada was in Canada West, the confederation would bring many advantages. The government would be substantially stronger and Canada west would have the majority of seats in parliament. West Canada would dominate the trade business and would have increased trading opportunities with Canada East.…
The Algonquin area of Ontario and Quebec have many natural water resources, such as the big St. Lawrence River, the Great Lakes, and the whole Atlantic coast. The Eastern Woodlands Hunters figured out how to use these rivers and lakes as an advantage and became good fishermen , because of the many waterways.

I would be much more persuaded by their argument if they provided more concrete evidence like data, literary analysis, or secondary scientific articles to support their point. Additionally, there will never be one alternative that does not offer some tradeoffs, but the authors neglect to mention any potential cons associated with their preferred alternative, and thus it is possible to argue that their alterative could negatively impact the local environment by altering the ecosystem from its natural function to timber production. Plus, for their plan to fully work as they intend it, they suggest changing the Multiple-Use-Sustained-Yield-Act to allow for greater acreage to be devote to timber, which would alter the law that seeks to ensure that for every acre devoted to private timber crops, there is another acre for recreation, wildlife, water, livestock and ect. Thus some public goods and land usage could be diminished for public and private use in addition to incurring ecological damage with the author’s proposed…

A core region offers advantageous geographic locations which allow for accessible transportation, resource extraction and access to large populations. Core regions can be defined more succinctly than periphery, which can range from rapidly growing regions with expanding populations to resource frontiers which have had little development or probing for resources. Bone (2013) makes reference to an original core periphery model that says, “there is one core and three periphery regions, in that analysis Ontario and Quebec would be considered core and the remaining regions would be considered periphery regions” (p.17). A shift from periphery to core is potentially imminent for a region like Western Canada. A number of challenges and conditions would…
The lumber industry was one of the biggest industries in MN. The way the industry started was like many others, it started with a person. At the time Frederick Weyerhaeuser was a super wealthy man.

Technology is rapidly changing, and with it is the way we engage and communicate with each other. The media which was once primary link between the political realm and the everyday citizen has changed with it. Neither the nightly news, nor the morning paper are the only sources of gaining information about the world around us. While they remain an important part in the pursuit of democracy in Canada, it is no longer the only method for politicians or leaders to reach the masses. Through this evolution of technology has emerged a new form of communication.…
Alberta is known globally as a hub of natural resource development in Canada. Since the early 1950’s, the natural resource sector has remained a significant contributor to the Albertan economy, and today this industry still makes up a significant proportion of Alberta’s annual GDP. Over the past three decades, the value of these resources has risen significantly, and as such, intensive development has been occurring at greater and greater intensities. The majority of this development has taken place in northern boreal regions of the province. This paper aims to explore and determine the effects of natural resource extraction upon Northern Albertan watersheds.…
