Consider the statistics from a few years ago, when "Canada insure 100% of its citizens for $2,250 per person in l998 while the United States expended $4,270 per person insuring only 84% of our citizens." (Marmor & Sullivan) if one does the math, it appears that -assuming the percentages were the same in 2003 and 1998 -- that Canada would only pays $1,597 with the public monies while America paid $1,879
¶ … obesity is a growing problem that negatively strikes the health of many children in Canada. From a statistical analysis of childhood obesity in Canada in 1996, reports show that 23% to 36% of Canadian children with age ranging from 7 to 13 are considered overweight and obese (Willms, 2004)
It does have a security agency, Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), but CSIS is limited by its mandate and in function only to investigate and act on security threats inside Canada's borders. Until recently, the vague wording of the CSIS mandate was interpreted by the agency in a way that the agency did carry out a quasi-Foreign Intelligence with its Security Intelligence (Campbell 2008, 13)
In a Center for International Policy briefing in 2009, Daniel Livermore points out that ninety percent of foreign intelligence comes from non-classified reporting sources (2). While many might use this as an argument against creating a separate foreign intelligence agency, contending that the lines between foreign and domestic security have been "blurred (Jackson 2009, 149), it is in actuality an argument for the creation of a separate foreign intelligence agency
There is certainly a link that must exist between the two agency operations, but not one which is blurred or obscured by function. The foreign intelligence agency would have by way of its distinct and separate mandate the ability to function in foreign territories, and to act covertly or overtly to mitigate and minimize the threat to Canada within its borders (Kott No Date, 88 of 90)
In these aspects, spying is necessary in order to protect Canada's trade interests (13). Spying cannot be done from just canvassing non-classified news and other related sources, but must be done on foreign territories with the authority for the agents to investigate, gather information and even steal that information if necessary to protect Canada's foreign interests (Livesey 2002)
Canada needs to be diligent in protecting its economic base and consumerism, and the CSIS cannot be effective in this regard under its outdated and vague mandate. In China, piracy of intellectual property has become a billion-dollar industry (Mastel 1997, 83)
Since 9/11, terrorist attacks have been carried out against European nations once thought to be well informed on matters of foreign intelligence, at least to the extent that they could protect their selves from terrorist attacks on their civilian populations, especially following the events of 9/11. This has taught us that terrorism is the face of the new war tactic (Morden 2003)
Bell (1999) hypothesized a model of four stages of society that have, or were believed to be emerging; the four stages were pre-history, pre-industrial, industrial, and post indusial. The prehistory stage is usually referred to as the hunter gatherer stage (Bell, 1999)
During this period there was a shift of Labor into manufacturing, and then away from manufacturing into services, even in short period between 1970-1989 there was a move from 23% of the labor force participating in manufacturing sector that the 17% (Rosenberg, 1992). By 2006 only 2% of the workforce is employed in agriculture, 13% in manufacturing, 6% in construction, and 76% within the services sector (CIA, 2013)
While Canada allows complementary / supplementary private health insurance that covers fee and services that have not been covered by public insurance, some other countries have feature primary/substitute private health insurance which include either everybody posses private insurance or a section of the patients posses public while others private, but not having all of them. The ongoing debate is on whether private health insurance is capable of reducing waits is more concerns duplicate private health insurance, (Ciampolini J, Hubble MJ
Because of that, surgical activities rise while wait time went down. Although after the government subsequently paid for a more independent centre, such frequent failed to attract enough patients who were to use their capacity, (MacLeod H, Hudson A, Kramer S
Since contributions tend not to be income adjusted, the rich becomes more likely of affording private insurance, and any other applicable co-payments. Looking at it in terms of equality perspective, to decide to go for private financing can be of justification in case it as well of benefit to patients who are relying on the public system, (McGowan T., 2003)
Another $43.2 billion became spent privately for additional services (Robert Steinbrook, M
During this time, wait times and lists went down significantly, and from that time they have not been major changes. For that reason, paying for activity, majorly the one that is combined with paying for wait reduction forms a strategy that has been proved that manages wait times, (Willcox S, Seddon M, Dunn S
Reportedly, a Montreal restaurant owner was offered a deal in 2005; if he gave an agency worker $90,000 his tax bill would be dramatically reduced (a bribe). Another restaurant owner in Montreal gave $100,000 in bribe money to a Canada Revenue Agency employee in turn for the agency hiding this restaurant owner's "…black market income" (Daly, 2012)
The commissioner was accused of a cover-up of a scandal involving the mismanagement of funds, which was a serious embarrassment for the top cop of Canada, and for the nation itself. A Political Scandal Involving Influence Peddling Former senior aide to the Prime Minister Stephen Harper was charged earlier in 2012 with "influence peddling" by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Radia, 2012)
The government had paid for 4,905 pair of boots for Canadian soldiers in WWII; those boots were paid for between March 1, 1938, and December 15, 1941. However the quartermaster's book showed just 3,710 pairs (Rayner, 2001, pp
In a peer-reviewed article in the journal Public, Private and the Media, journalist Jean Seaton asks a number of questions relevant to this issue. For example, on page 174 Seaton asks, "…to what extent is the public appetite for the destruction of reputation (of individuals but also of institutions) led, or merely fed by the media?" She also asks, "…is it possible to sustain any notion of intimacy in which the precious diversity of individuals is treasured in the light of brutal media exposure and authoritarian regimentation of private lives?" Seaton comes to the defense of the media by pointing out that they are in place to "expose, reveal, complain and attack" because a "healthy democracy depends on vigorous scrutiny" (Seaton, 2003, 174)
Liberals are accusing conservatives for being behind the calls. "Under the Elections Act, it is illegal to tell voters to go to a wrong or non-existent polling station" (Stechyson, 2012)
