Module 4: Canadian Publication

Decent Essays
1. I do believe that initially the whole idea was a good one that worked until the point when the internet was generally accessible and those geographical limits of where the publication is printed were not applicable anymore nor boundaries could be put in place for information crossover.

2. Although unfair the restrictions could have been seen as an encouragement to Canadian newspapers to flourish and also profit from the taxes imposed to the outside magazines.

3. From a historical perspective it could have be seen as a method of encouragement for the Canadian coverage to improve and retain more of the market. Also it could have been seen as a way to force a bit the incrensement of that percentage.

4. In my opinion there should be no limitation when it comes to press, no extra costs for other coverage just because they are external, foreign. If they are good and people love it the Canadian people should be entitled to choose what they want to read regardless if it is local or foreign and as well good content should be rewarded with higher purchase of their product.

As covered in point number 4, I don’t find the measurements imposed to be fair nor legal as it was proven later on. As it was decided by the world trade organization the dispute should be against the taxes and all publication should be treated equally. Other local publication can thrive within the market in different ways, initially by appealing to the public with better content so that the publication can be sold better.

6. There are many debates on which of the ways to do this distinguished method and I do presume that there is no exact one on how to do it. From my perspective the only way possible would be to perform it based on Canadian citizenship regardless weather the publication is done in Canada or any other part of the planet. Although unjust the rest of the publications would be considered foreign or

    The Canadian health care system and related issues are hotly debated topics in Canada. The polarity of the debate is well represented in the somewhat divergent perspectives presented in the books: Health Care by Pat and Hugh Armstrong and The Canadian Regime by Patrick Malcolmson et al. Two aspects of the Canadian health care system are debated with vigor and vehemence, and will be the basis of the comparison between the two books, they are: federalism, and privatization. In Canada currently, the responsibilities of health care are split between federal and provincial governments, with the Federal government contributing about 20 percent of provincial health spending (225), 1 and while provinces provide the bulk of money, they adhere to federal…

    History was marked on July 1st, 1867 now known as Canada Day, when the British North American Act was passed. This act allowed for Canada to be officially established as a self-governing entity under the British Empire. This was a momentous time for Canada as we were given more control, more opportunities, and we were allowed to reach new heights. This all setup Canada to become a great country, but something at the time was still missing. We were a country, but at the same time not a country.…

    Royal Mail Canada was founded in 1867 and was originally a branch of the Canadian Government. In the 1960’s the name of the government post office department changed to The Canada Post Corporation. Twenty years later, in late 1981 Canada Post separated from the government and became a Crown Corporation.

    There was a time where the rural land locked provinces weren’t viewed as much until citizens of Canada or foreigners moved there. Sir Wilfred Laurier understood this and wanted to unite Canada from the East to West coast but two provinces in the middle hadn’t united with Canada yet. “Alberta joined Confederation along with Saskatchewan in 1905, when the two new provinces were created out of a section of the Northwest Territories” (Alberta and Confederation, n.d). Having those two new provinces join Canada really started to unite Canada as one. The majority of the population lived on the East Coast due to first settlers settling in that location.…

    From what I gather, the opportunity consist of profits and pushing agendas, while the concerns raise issues of false pretenses or lack of variety. Medoff and Kaye indicate, only a few voices are heard and the range of information, viewpoints, and opinion is limited through vertical integration (2011, p.69). The federal government has sought to maintain diversity in broadcasting keeping as many voices and viewpoints on the air as possible, yet more difficult to maintain as more cable and online content competes with newspapers and broadcast stations (Business and Ownership, 2011, p.189). The federal government traditionally encouraged diversity of opinion and ownership and discouraged the formation of monopolies, but since the 1970’s, the government has relaxed electronic media regulation thus permitting the market place to decide how electronic media should function in the U.S. society (Business and Ownership, 2011, p.191). Presently, there are no ownership limits on the size of cable MSO’s noted Medoff and Kaye (2011, p.191).…

    Introduction Private health care is known in Canada as care that is funded by private sources or by the patient themselves (DeCoster and Brownell 301). There are many different perspectives on whether or not Canada should privatize their health care system. In a situation like this, it must be taken into account what is best in the country’s eyes, and not the perspective of an individual or a single community (Uplekar 898). Quality health care is a concern for many people.…

    Explain how you see the Canadian identity. Although there are many interpretations of what one sees as a Canadian identity. I see Canada as a ‘cultural mosaic’; a multicultural country where different cultures and identities coexist peacefully.

    Thus, it is worth taking into account whether statutory press regulation should be employed. Its first advantage is the fact that self-regulation has failed more than once. In the history of the British press, a few attempts were made by the industry to create a regulator independent of the state (de Castella, 2013). All in all, PCC failed, and now IPSO seems to be unsuccessful in fulfilling its role. Barnett (2016) suggests that publications exploit the new regulator in the same way they did with PCC.…

    History Essay Throughout the wars many events involving immigration shaped Canadians and their views resulting in a more accepting and interracial country. Before the war from the years of 1890 into WW1, Canada saw itself as a home to a white European population based on Anglican beliefs, those without the same mind set or beliefs were seen as enemy aliens resulting in distrust. The discrimination and distrust Canadians put upon the ones unlike them such as Blacks, Asians, Italians, Arabs, Greeks and Jews led to Sir Clifford Sifton’s idea of the “Open Door Policy”. This was a tactic to come across as welcoming to immigrants in need of a new home, but close the door on them if they did not meet our racial standards.…
