While Jewish organizations have responded favorably to this shift in policy, Muslim groups have a different take. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry, President of the Canadian Islamic Congress, said of [Paul Heinbecker], "a man of excellent reputation," that "He's right. The shift of Canada's position in the U.N. is dangerous because the world used to look up to Canada for its fair and balanced stand. Now we are just an extension of the United States. On July 25, during the hostilities in Lebanon, Israel bombed a U.N. observation outpost, killing Canadian Paeta Hess-von Kruedner and other U.N. soldiers from Austria, China, and Finland. U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan complained at the time that the bombing was "apparently deliberate." The Trudeau Foundation held a three-day conference, "Islam in We...

With $1.4 billion a day in goods and services moving across the U.S./Canadian border, the dollar value of potential collection claims is substantial. Most U.S./Canadian trade takes place between established buyers and sellers with solid payment histories and existing commercial relationships, but claims issues continue to arise, and credit managers must be familiar with the small but important differences between the collection process in U.S. and Canadian courts. The Canada-U.S. trade relationship is the largest ever to exist between two nations. Two-way trade in goods and services between Canada and the United States during 2003 was U.S. $392 billion. There are far more similarities than differences between Canadian and U.S. courts in processing collection claims, notes Gavin J. Tighe...

Normally, a plaintiff chooses to institute an action in the jurisdiction that he or she assumes to be the most advantageous to his or her interests. This choice, however, may be resisted by the application of the doctrine of forum non conveniens. The doctrine of forum non conveniens refers to the discretionary power exercised by courts in the common law world to decline jurisdiction over a matter, despite having jurisdiction simpliciter, where the court is of the opinion that the matter may be more appropriately tried elsewhere. The purpose of this article is to give a broad overview of the doctrine of forum non conveniens as applied in Canada and the US while illustrating some of the primary differences in each country's approach. Part II explores the doctrine of forum non conveniens a...

Rather than examining ways in which the federal Canadian government promotes the country, this study examines the tourism website homepages of the provinces and territories. Attention is paid to homepage design, layout and information provided to potential visitors of an area within Canada. It should be noted this paper is a cursory review of provincial and territorial tourism homepages and is intended to be a starting point for continued investigation and research.

MONTREAL, Dec. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - North America's 3,000 fossil fuel-burning power plants continue to produce two-thirds of the region's electricity and, at the same time, generate the majority of certain harmful air pollutants and emit more greenhouse gases than any other industrial sector. North American Power Plant Air Emissions, a new report and database released today by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), provides detailed information on the electric power sector in North America, and profiles, on a plant-by-plant basis, the air emissions of six of the most-important contaminants-- the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and methane; sulfur dioxide; mercury; and particulate matter--emitted by North America's fossil fuel-fired power plants.
