...Canada Climate Treaty Negotiation Kamilah, Gage, & Angelina Some Information about Canada How would certain climate change measures (limiting emissions, reducing or eliminating fossil fuel use, etc…) affect Canada? Large portions of forest are destroyed by wildfires that are caused by droughts. Limiting the emissions and trying to reduce fossil fuels will help stop the droughts. Regarding energy, Canada has huge coal deposits throughout which would probably have to be limited. However, they have a backup that they already have in play. Most of Canada’s energy comes from the renewable resource hydro-electricity. Hydro plants can be found in every province but one. Canada also has the third largest oil patch in the world and much of the country’s...

...Canadian government has a plan for the future effects of climate change many other sources have discussed how Canada is not ready for what is to come. Research has uncovered that while canada is doing lots of things to help prevent climate change they aren’t doing a lot to prepare for the negative effects of climate change that they are too late to prevent. So far the Canadian government has done many things to help avoid the negative effects of climate change. They have joined in on the paris agreement ( working on renewable energy and reducing canada's eco-footprint). The government also banned dumping grey water into the arctic ocean to help conserve the marine animals habitat. As well a big thing that the canadian government did very recently along with the united states was put a ban to oil drilling in the arctic. To prepare for many arctic animals...

...Nunavut is a territory located in the northern Canada that has a low average temperature due to the high latitudes. Data from the climate graph of Iqaluit, depicts that this region is in a arctic climate region because of the extremely cold average temperature and very little precipitation. The accurate data shows that the total annual precipitation averages 422mm and displays that the annual temperature ranges from -27.2℃ to 7.0℃ which is a 34.1℃ difference (Climate-Data.Org). Although Iqaluit is near a body of water, I think the body of water won’t raise the quantity of precipitation because of the extreme cold temperatures that slows down the evaporation rate and the ice that is occupying much of ocean’s surface. Ultimately, it is a difficult decision to define Iqaluit as either maritime or continental climate due to the fact that this area is near a body of water but has features of a continental climate region. However, since the climate of...

...and has consequently provided the Arctic with strong regional significance. This global issue of climate change is presenting numerous challenges to Canada and the United States. The Yukon Territory and Alaska, both located in the northwest, are directly experiencing the consequences of this meltdown. The neighboring allies will definitely witness a change in their special relationship while combating this issue of climate change. The three fronts which affect the Canada and U.S. relationship are environmental degradation in Alaska and Yukon, sovereignty and border disputes, and lastly the battle for the natural resources in the Arctic. The two approaches which will facilitate in comprehending and further analyzing these issues are realism and complex interdependence. Realism describes international politics as a struggle for power dominated by organized violence in an anarchic international system. Complex interdependence challenges the realist assumption while synthesizing elements of realism and liberalism. Complex interdependence rejects the realist notion of an anarchic international system, and instead works towards a system of cooperative security, instead of just a balance in power. To deal with the rising concerns in the Arctic, Canada and the United States will most likely resort to cooperation which will then bring forth compromises. This paper argues that the Canada and U.S. relationship in the Arctic is best...

...We have completed initial research on the legal and bureaucratic environment and found that Canada is open to new businesses. Although Toronto is friendly to new businesses there are still other issues to be addressed, which are the taxes, building permits, imports, and business licenses. The tax rate Sonic would fall under would be the Residual Commercial Property tax rate which is 3.78%. This is where we would take the value of our property and multiple it buy the tax rate which would then give us how much we would need to pay. Also, since we are trying to build or reconstruct a building we would need to obtain a building permit. This is a formal permission from the City of Toronto to being construction. The Toronto building staff must review the plans to ensure that we comply with all the building codes, local zoning by-laws, and other regulations the city might need us to meet. The permit fee for this project would roughly cost $21.00. There would be no issues for Sonic to import goods since Canada does not put any major restrictions on agricultural and food products. This would make it easier to bring over processed meat and other foods. Lastly, in order to do business in Toronto we would be required to get a business license from the Municipal Licensing and Standards Division. We would need a business license so that we can follow all of the municipal by-laws. If Sonic does not want to import their goods there is a local manufacture in Toronto that will do it...

...Keenan Brown Mr. Fletcher Canadian Geography 120 May. 1 / 2016 7 Landforms Regions of Canada The movements of the Earth’s plates have altered the land we live on and therefore altering our way of life. Because Canada is in a temperate climate the four seasons change the already vast set of landscapes each year making them change even more. In Canada we have several different landform regions full of different species, habitats and minerals all unique to their own region. Along with each region, different properties are present giving each a different climate and changing the lives’ of the people who live there. The first of several covers a good half of the country. The Canadian Shield covers most of Nunavut, Quebec, Ontario, Labrador, Manitoba, as well as a large part of Saskatchewan and smaller parts of Alberta and the North West Territories. The Canadian Shield is a relatively flat landscape with rounded hills of metamorphic rock. This region is rich in minerals and is often used as a mining area for many of the provinces. It is a bad area in Canada for farming because the soil is too thin. It is mainly covered in Boreal Forest in the south and Tundra in the north. The Western Cordillera rests along the western edge of Canada, covering most of Yukon Territory and British Columbia as well as western Alberta. Consists of high, sharp-peaked mountains separated by plateaus and valleys...

... The interests of China in Greenland are evidence of this. The political ties in the region will define the social status of the region given their intrinsic relationship. Social status of the circumpolar north As the Arctic undergoes internal and global changes, the necessity for sustainable practices will increase in the social environment (“Arctic Climate Impact Assessment” par. 113). Policies and decisions aimed at promoting sustainable development will act in response to pressures, which are beyond their scope of control. The pressures may include the human health concerns on contaminants in transit to the Arctic. There are concerns, which arose in the 1990s from the bioaccumulation of organochlorines in food from Europe and Asia. Another instance involved the impact of collapsed markets following anti-fur-and anti-sealskin harvest movements in Western Europe. These two instances, affected the economic and social lives of the indigenous people. Given that the regional change is mostly externally induced, whom sustainable development is directed to beg many answers, since aboriginals are the main residents (“Arctic Climate Impact Assessment” par. 113). What has attracted most concern is the benefit of sustainability to the aboriginal people. Questions of power, value and knowledge are at the heart of sustainability, because they determine the relative competition for resources. Since the southern metropolitan centers dominate the Arctic region, they view the Arctic as a...

The Spanish settled in Florida, Texas, and the present Southern Untied States. Throughout 1800's new technology fueled economic growth in Canada and The United States. In 1900's The United States and Canada assumed leading roles in the world. The United States and Canada share a number of physical features. 7.1 Big Idea: Over time the Northeast has developed into a major commercial center of the world. The region is known for its beautiful landscape. A visitor wanting to broad view of the Northeast might head for the craggy coast of Maine, New York's spectacular Niagara Falls, or the rolling farmlands of Pennsylvania. Every year, millions of tourists flock to the Northeast just to explore its world famous cities. Compared with other regions of the United States the Northeast has few natural resources. Throughout the 1800's-especially Massachusetts, Rhode Islands, and New Hampshire-factories were built at the waterfalls along the regions many rivers. 7.2 Big Idea: The warm climate and abundant natural resources of the South continues to attract people and industry. Many Americans think of the South as the old Confederacy. The South's location closer to the Equator makes it warmer than any other...
