...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...

...Pan-Africanism is “a belief that African peoples, both on the continent and in the Diaspora, share not merely a common history, but a common destiny” The largest Pan-African organization is the African Union. 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). Before companies make an investment on Canadian soil there are a few key factors necessary for reviewing which involve locale, political, economical, social, and technological analysis. Locale The geographic size of Canada is 3.9 million square miles making Canada the second largest country in the world, after Russia. Canada, slightly larger than the United States, hosts a land area of 9,093,507 sq. km and a water area of 891,163 sq. km.

Dealing with these injustices proves to be extremely hard, as the response needs to be sensitive to those affected, and promptly address the factors involved in the injustice. Furthermore, throughout history, numerous injustices had occurred that governments of today have to face, especially for those that occurred within Canada. To be able to promptly and adequately...

...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...

...last frontier will probably lead to slight economic growth as there is bound to be natural resources in the region. The opening of the North West passage-shipping route due to climate change will change the landscape of global trade. This passage will lead too much shorter shipping times between Asia, the North American West coast and Europe. This may be seen as a good thing as it will lead to jobs for the local peoples, however, this may lead higher cost of living and realistic prices, forcing the native peoples to assimilate to this new way of living and these newly available jobs. Also, resource jobs are highly dependent on the market, which may lead to companies coming in for 5-10 years and leaving once the price of the resource drops, leaving the community...

...beet industry began needing and ultimately competing for their labor. However, there was much suffering as expected from being an immigrant worker on the railroads. Harsh environments, long hours, little to no sleep, exhaustion, diseases, to list a few. Around the turn of the century, there were many younger men who made the decision to leave Japan in hopes of getting a proper education in America. The lucky few who had a significant amount of funds were able to go to prestigious universities on the East Coast, but sadly most were forced to congregate in places such as Seattle, San Francisco, and Portland. Often times these “school boys” would perform domestic work for white families that granted them room and board while they attended school. While this all was happening, Japanese laborers were entering into the U.S. and Canada. There arose a political problem in the 1900s that involved Japanese immigration. “Anti-Japanese agitation on the West Coast eventually led to the termination of Japanese immigrants to America in 1924 and harsh restrictions on Japanese entry to Canada in the previous year.” Japanese immigrants were treated the same as any other immigrant; with hatred and ignorance. The country itself faces several social problems. One of the most important social problems in Japan revolves around the view and status of women. Women are said to receive the same social rights and opportunities as men based on Japanese law, however, the ratio...
