This has increased the effect of the increased gap between the few in the first group and everyone which is increasing. There is surge on the interest of basic income with more debating from the Canadian government .

This means that in the 21st century, the symbolic analysts continue being seceding from large diversity in the Canadian politics towards homogenous enclaves, within which their earnings do not require redistribution to people of less fortune than themselves. Improving the economic position will require address of the plight for the long term poor and offering opportunities for the Canadians by investing in education in various levels

    Michael Den Tandt's article: "Race to the middle: Rhetoric aside, the major parties have near unanimity on key policies" discusses the lack of ideological differences that exist amongst Canadian political party leaders in their upcoming election campaigns. He argues that the party platforms of the NDP, Liberals, and Conservatives are similar in that they all explicitly speak of the need to implement policies that support the middle class. The article argues that the votes usually come down to a "relatively small cohort of swing voters who are apolitical, not interested in the process and liable to vote their family's economic interest first. " This is why he claims that we see policies on all three sides merging together to gain votes from…

    The U.S. Congress does have the ability to enact effective immigration reform but in order to do so; Congress needs to refocus their views from being prevention oriented to assisting immigrants in entering the U.S. legally and for a lawful purpose. Immigration reform should provide for the ability for more workers to legally enter the U.S., especially in industries such as agriculture and construction which require a large workforce. The true crux of the problem with immigration reform is that it is generally focused on keeping people out of the United States; as opposed to welcoming them in due to the economic needs of our country.…

    Canada can strongly be considered and recognized as a collectivist society. Canada provides a variety of social programs such as, free health care, public education, welfare and employment insurance, which therefore helps secure the well-fare of citizens collectively. In support of these beneficial programs, all Canadian citizens are obliged to pay for them through taxation despite not everyone using them. The inclination to provide without self-interest, demonstrates Canada’s prioritization of the well-being of the collective. However, due to these programs, it limits citizen's economic freedom, therefore, subsequently, limiting on individualism.…

    As many may know, there is an increase in the gap between the rich and the poor. Discrimination and inequality can include education, gender, racism and so forth. As a result, this increase in gap creates barriers for the poor since it makes it hard for those who are poor to access the same opportunities as the upper class. From this week’s lecture and readings, it got me to really think about the possible consequences for our society if we do not address the important issues including the increasing gap between the rich and poor. It does not make sense how one of the wealthiest countries like Canada has many citizens living in poverty and experiencing discrimination.…

    Poverty Line In Canada While thinking about poverty, one automatically connects it with Third World countries such as Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Haiti, and Uganda amongst many others. But the truth is many Canadians struggle with poverty as well. There are numerous factors that play a significant part that allows one to understand why there is poverty in Third World countries for example, lacking technological advances of agriculture that we possess automatically sets them back and lack of booming exports that could support by bringing in money also greatly contributes to the mass poverty in those countries. Canada, however, is one of the most “prosperous countries” in the world so why would we even assume poverty in Canada.…

    The variety of issues that the United States has faced over the last two decades forced the country to focus on its own economic recovery. The United States saw a significant economic turnaround after shifting its focus from “global policeman” to domestic issues. During this period, the United States retook its position as the preeminent world power, recapturing the highest GDP and balancing the national deficit. While the United States scaled back its foreign assistance, states began to fail, and radical groups took haven if these areas. Failed states continued to rise as the United States developed its technologies, energy developments, and resource independence.1…

    arles Beach is Professor of Economics at Queen's University and obtained his BA(Hons.) from McGill University and PhD from Princeton University. His paper, Changing income inequality: A distributional paradigm for Canada, discussed the polarization of full-time workers, loss of middle-class earnings share and increase in a higher earnings gap (Beach 2016, 1229). Similarly, to Yalnizyan, he shows via the Canadian socioeconomic database from Statistics Canada that the share of income going to the middle class has declined between the 1970s and 2000s (Beach 2016, 1233). Correspondingly there was an increase in the share of income going to higher-income families between the 1970s and about 2000 (Beach 2016, 1233). Beach goes onto differentiate…

    Globalized Games of Polarized Power There are millions of stories, detailing migration into America, but many have the same underlining fact; change is not easy. With change, comes both benefits and costs on the lives of migrants, which can often be challenging to determine and quantify.
