Agreement (NAFTA). It has been over 20 years now since NAFTA created the world’s largest free trade area in 1993.

In this paper I will discuss the history of NAFTA and the impact that it has had on the three countries involved. I will answer the question; has NAFTA…

Borders — whether internal or external, social or economic, geopolitical or psychological — have assumed a most significant role in developing Canada's sense of nation. Borders, starting with those in common with the United States, in addition to the artificial internal regional borders, frame Canadian identity. Identity, however, is a notion both revealed and invented. The Canadian identity is composite and multifaceted to the point of not being easily understood even by those who would try to…

North America Free Trade Agreement- the goal is to eliminate tariffs on bilateral trade between Canada and the United States by 1988. This was followed by 1991 by talks among the United Stated, Canada, and Mexico (271). The North American Free Trade Agreement is extremely important since the U.S. trade with NAFTA has unlocked many opportunities for millions of Americans who support jobs and exports that are made in America. The prices for exporting and importing qualifying products were…

Illegal immigrants either in the United States or making their way into the country are constantly under fire of generalizations. The goal of a generalization is to help explain why an event occurs while looking at patterns and reoccurring factors, and predict what will happen in the future. Such can be explained with the behaviors of the illegal immigrants moving through the United States and Canada.

Thirty years ago, Canada and the US opened negotiations in regards to a possible Free Trade Agreement. As a result, a nationwide contentious debate filled the streets and a call for an election was demanded as necessary. A bilateral agreement came to form, generating a FTA between the United States and Canada. By 1990, president Bush and the Mexican president divulged their intentions, on negotiating a free trade agreement. This ultimately posed a problem for the deciding governments. Should the…

After World War II and the founding of the United Nations, land and maritime disputes decreased as nations agreed to recognize each other’s national borders…

nation? Beyond the difference of Nations and States, what really makes a Nation and how does one identify as a member of said Nation? When discussing whether or not Canada is actually a nation or a state with multiple nations within (as discussed later), the question I pose is: Why is this even a question? Why is there such disbelief or bewilderment when discussing whether or not Canada is a Nation; why does no one have the same reaction when the United States is the one in question? Simply put,…

emphasis on the will of the people. Liberalism provides society with security, freedoms and economic safety, such as Canada’s Anti-terrorism Act of 2015, the United Nations’ Declaration of Rights of Indigenous People or the United States’ Marshall Plan. One of the essential aspects of liberalism is the security that comes with it. In Canada we have the Passenger Protect list from 2007 and the Anti-terrorism Act…
