used these. In the first hearing the judge chose to dismiss the liability factor as they believed the school could not do anymore to prevent a one off incident such as this. One of the precedent cases used was; Romel El-Sheik v. Australian Capital Territory Schools Authority, Raymond Liverpool and Tony Exposito [1999] ACTSC90, “it would require an army of supervisors…but it seems to me that is all it can do.” This argument in the case helps to persuade the judge to make their decision based off…

Forests cover a third of all land on Earth, providing vital organic infrastructure for some of the planet's densest, most diverse collections of life. They support countless species as well as 1.6 billion human livelihoods, yet humans are also responsible for 32 million acres of deforestation every year. Why are forests so important?? 1. They help us breathe Forests pump out the oxygen we need to live and absorb the carbon dioxide we exhale (or emit). Just one adult leafy tree can produce as…

Human Migration has long been recognized as an important means of redistributing labor to promote regional growth \citep{krieg1997occupational}. Each year a small fraction of the labor force moves between different provinces in Canada. Numerous studies focus on provincial mobility in Canada. However most of the studies are based on census data and estimation of provincial net migration rate to determine overall gain and loss of a province \citep{bernard2008interprovincial, chen2009inter,…

Policy Stream: As mentioned previously, each province is in charge of fracking regulation policies and enforcements. One may wonder if these regulatory systems will ever be addressed by the federal government. Mostly likely not, at least not any time soon. There are existing regulation policies for fracking, however, each industry is in charge of addressing them in the way it's beneficial for them and the province, without having any federal enforcement behind their shoulders.…

In August 2010, I stepped onto United States territory for the first time. My older brother, my mom, and I arrived at the bus station. It was crowded and people were desperately trying to get their luggage. My body felt the heat as soon as we got off the bus. The clouds were removed from the sky and the shiny sun was all by itself. We got our luggage, and we noticed a man walking towards us. The heat waves stopped me from identifying him. As he got closer, I noticed it was my dad. It was the…

In 1835, Ladd & Co. is the first successful sugar plantation company in Hawaii and marked the beginning of the sugar industry. Ladd & Co. began their sugar company in Koloa, Kauai, in which they signed a lease with King Kamehameha III for a 980 acres of land.

Arctic as well as having a stable government. The northwest passage, however, interferes with who actually has access to the Arctic making it almost a war. Most commonly power is divided and shared amongst the territories surrounding as long as this is done on a peaceful basis, all sovereign states have the right to allocate their powers to political units within their borders. And within the borders of the Canadian Arctic, the northern Canadian population has completely accepted the…

\section{Provincial Unemployment Rate, Employment Rate and Mobility} In our research we focus on two economic indicators that may trigger the provincial mobility among individuals. One is provincial unemployment rate and another one is weighted employment growth, which is known as Bartik instrument \citep{bartik1991boon}. From 1993 to 2011, Canadian provinces have experienced large and persistent differences in unemployment and employment rates. To estimate the cross provincial differences we…

To identify who is moving out of provinces based on demographic, industrial, occupational and employment characteristics for each province, we estimate the net migration rate \footnote{net migration rate is the difference between in-migration and out-migration, divided by total population}. In our analysis, we divide the Canadian regions into three parts: Eastern or Atlantic region (Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick), Central region (Quebec and…
