...Section I: Opening Statement “Petroleum production and use is fundamental to our current way of life” (Environment Canada, 2011) We will be arguing in favour of British Columbia supporting the construction of the Northern Gateway Pipeline. Throughout our brief, we will provide several arguments reinforcing our position. In addition to the questions provided by the Hearing Panel, we found it extremely important and pertinent to address economic implications of the construction and functioning of the pipeline. For this reason, these elements will be discussed in Section IV of our brief. We chose to omit a couple of Questions of Analysis in favour of expanding on others that we felt were more relevant and necessary to our argument. We hold the belief that the potential benefits of the Northern Gateway Pipeline outweigh the potential costs; reasons for which will become evident in this written submission. Section II: Questions of Fact: Answered 1. Will the pipeline be running above or below ground? The vast majority of the pipeline will be buried up to a meter underground. The only exceptions will be select water crossings where it is safer to run the pipeline above the water crossing. (Enbridge Northern Gateway Project, 2013) 2. What is the lifespan of the project? The project will have a lifespan of 30 years (Enbridge Northern Gateway Project). 3. What is being transported in the pipeline? There are 2 pipelines. One is the oil pipeline and the other is the condensate...

Kwame Nkrumah “I’m not African because I was born in Africa; I’m an African because Africa’s born in me.” Kwame Nkrumah Early Life Education Kwame Nkrumah, was born in approximately 1909 in the town of Nkroful, in the Nzima region of present-day Ghana. His father was a goldsmith by trade and kept many wives, although Kwame Nkrumah was his mother’s only child. His early education was conducted at local missionary schools, and his aptitude enabled him to attend the Government Training College in Accra in 1926. At the Government Training College, Nkrumah was trained to become a teacher and graduated in 1930 (Adi, 2003: 144). He worked as a teacher for five years and although during this time period he also contemplated a move into the priesthood. In 1935 Nkrumah decided to take his studies abroad. After a shorter stint in the Gold Coast’s colonial overseer, Great Britain, Nkrumah traveled to the United States to further his education. He first completed undergraduate studies at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, whose alumni include such luminaries as poet Langston Hughes and Thurgood Marshall, former Supreme Court Justice. From there Nkrumah made his way to Philadelphia, where he conducted his...

...Canada offers diverse investment opportunities for American Firms. “A land of vast distances and rich in natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. The nation has developed in a parallel manner with the US economically and technologically. Canada faces challenges of meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care, education, social services, and economic competitiveness. They also aim to develop its diverse energy resources while maintaining its commitment to the environment.” (2).

...intellectual stirrings, growing trade, and competition among emerging nation- states in overseas exploration and commerce. In 1585 Raleigh established the firs British Colony in North America on Roanoke Island. English colonization in America differed in character and consequences from that of other European nations. The English Monarchs had destroyed the power of the feudal nobility and had established a strong centralized state and in so doing, the monarchs had encouraged the growth of the business middle classes, the merchants and entrepreneurs who were to be major agents of the modernizing process. By seventeenth centaury, England's imperial reach was global; it stretched west from Ireland to Newfound land to Bermuda, and eastward to the subcontinent of India. It was to the west in the New World in 1606 that King James issued charter to two joint stock companies to colonize the land that Sir Walter Raleigh had named Virginia in honor of the Virgin Queen Elizabeth. The company promptly sent out an expedition of 144 people and after four months arduous voyage they reached Chesapeake Bay in April 1607. The 105 surviving English men than proceeded up a great river, which they named for King James, and founded Jamestown- the first permanent English settlement in North America. For one category of immigrants the Virginia environment (James town) produced not self fulfillment but enslavement. In 1619, a Dutch trading ship dropped anchor at...

...employees, and has the longest railway system in North America. Industry circles consider CN an increasingly profitable business. The Canadian Transportation Safety Board ensures CN abides by all laws and regulations. CN continually improves safety and environmental impact, which leads to better profits in the long run, particularly now that pipelines are becoming politically toxic in the eyes of the public. Recent environmental catastrophes such as the BP oil spill and the recent train explosion in Quebec, means CN must be careful with the public’s recent sensitivity to these types of environmental incidents that affect communities and their members. The company focuses highly on corporate social responsibility, with environment, education, health & safety, and community as a top concern. Rail emits less greenhouse gas emissions than heavy trucks, and CN also funds sustainability programs. The company uses state-of-the-art technology to ensure safety while improving operations, emphasizing on engineering, mechanical, and asset management technology. In the communities in which CN operates, the company engages community members to ensure they are heard and so that its initiatives are in line with their concerns. Building employee relationships with a diverse workforce starts with good hiring, including scholarship and internship programs, and continues with care and development of their human...

Why is it important? * Even from the beginning of Canadian history, The Macdonald commission, found that when looking into the long term economic potential the Canadian federation will have problems in the regional disparity. * The question of regionalism and population distribution has been going on for a while and particular attention is placed on international and internal migration in Canada * Should Canada bring people to the jobs or the jobs to people? What do you think? VIDEO NEXT SLIDE Alex - Population distribution * Before the arrival of Europeans settlers, the aboriginal peoples were concentrated on the pacific coast and in the St Lawrence valley, extending in southern Ontario, but its very different now * Population distribution is an important indicator of the relative attractiveness of the various parts of the country and how that has changed with time * At the time of the 1986 census 72 percent of the population lived within 150km of the United States boarder and 85 percent lived within 300km of the boarder * If we look at the population distribution by regions that run east and west around the time of confederation, Ontario had 43 percent of the population, Quebec had 32 percent and the Maritime Provinces had 20 percent and the remaining 3 percent lived west of Ontario * The major changes in population distribution occurred...
