Canadians are those who have been approved under the Treaty Indian status, been registered under the Indian Act of Canada, or those who have membership in a First Nation band (Stats Canada 2013.) These Aboriginal Canadians are part of separate groups known as Inuit, Métis or First Nations bands; each of these groups are vastly unique with separate cultures, customs, and languages. In Canada all remaining…

The Indigenous peoples of Canada have been mistreated for years, yet only recently has our government began to rebuild this important and valuable relationship. Canadians are generally known for their welcoming attitudes and openness towards others, however this view has constantly been tested since the beginning of the twentieth century. The largest problem facing Canadians as a nation is the constant mistreatment and discrimination shown towards the Indigenous Peoples, who are the descendants…

psychology study by Homan, Buengeler, Eckhoff, Ginkel, and Voelpel shows positive effects of diversity training in workplaces with nationality diverse teams and poor prior understanding of diversity in the workplace. Large scale immigration trends of Canada, matched with Homan’s findings, suggest domestic firms can positively generate team creativity amongst increasingly diverse firms so long as thorough attention is paid to the backgrounds of workplace teams. Nationality diversity is almost a…

North-American continent through which countries cooperate with each other (Cardarelli & Kose, 2004). The public discussion of the role of NAFTA Agreement is heated and ongoing because of the Canada`s importance as U.S. trading partners. Many research produce evidence that NAFTA has a positive effect on the Canada`s economy while others show that this integration results in disappointing employment trends and a decline in Canadian wages (Trefler, 2004; Jackson, 1999). The significance of this…

The impact immigrants have on Canadian society is clearly illustrated by the variety of faces seen in the population. Canada was built upon immigrants, beginning with the French and British, and now in modern times, newcomers are arriving from countries in Asia, Africa, and South America. New immigrants are some of the most influential people in Canada. Not only do these immigrants seek to acquire expertise in the skills they’ve obtained in their homeland through higher education, but they are…

require transportation via sea or air. Competition and oligopoly happens due to the few small corporations that decide to start stores in the north. Cost of store construction and maintenance, bringing the material to build the store from southern Canada ends up very costly as well as the maintenance cost where regular expenses are easily ranging from five to 30 times higher. Wages of store employees as mentioned previous end up being higher due to the standard of living, the market size and any…

The Oil and Gas division is a chief driver of Canada’s economy, denoting nearly a quarter of Canadian export and devoting more than 500,000 people throughout the country. Yet, Canada might not grasp the full significance of its crude oil and natural gas resources due to a lack of infrastructure to transport the extracted resources to refineries in North America and elsewhere. This infrastructure confronts results in eastern Canadian refineries trusting predominantly on imported foreign sources…

Immigrants on Canada Throughout the history of mankind, people have always been moving. Whether it be to new lands recently discovered, or to older established civilizations, mankind has always been mobile. This sometimes creates a problem when too many people move into one place, but for Canada, this is simply not the case. There are several major immigrant groups in Canada, and they all factor into Canada’s multiculturalism. Each group has their own specific contributions to Canada, however,…

Lastly, as a result of confronting the issues surrounding voting rights, I would like to discuss Aboriginal electoral participation in Canada to represent the impact these organizations confrontations have had on Indigenous communities. It is no surprise that voter turnout among Aboriginal Canadians is lower than among non-Aboriginal Canadians. Upon researching surveys conducted with Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal electors following the last four Canadian federal elections there are reasons for…

Canada is a large country with a variety of industries. Because it is a country with a highly educated workforce that expects creative and flexible work places, Canada must be considered to be a postindustrial society. Hughes (2011) defines an industrial society as one in which sources of energy fuel a production system to process raw materials. Examples of such industry in Canada would include the oil industry at Fort McMurray Alberta, the Diamond mines in the N.W.T. farming in the central…
