Industry was a big part-as always money. Nothing changes. Greed is always there isn't it.\n\nSlavery was a second and used by the money people as their excuse.

On July 1st, 1867, the British parliament passed the BNA act. This act established the Dominion of Canada, and gave the Canadian government the right to pass the laws. Although, they still needed the approval of the British parliament. Which meant that when the Canadian constitution wanted to change the act, take something out or put something in, they had to apply to the British parliament to make the change.\n\nThe BNA act stemned from the seventy-two Quebec resolutions framed by the Canadians themselves, because those living in Quebec wanted to keep their language, schools and laws. The act enabled each province to have their own specified powers to manage local affairs.\n\nThe Provincial legislatures are given the power to make their own laws in fifteen specific subject catagories, and are generally, in all matters of a merely local or private nature in the province according to section 92 of the BNA act.\nAmong these are:\n\n\n- provincial lands, hospitals and other institutions\n- property and civil rights\n- provincial corporations\n- licensing and taxation\n- administration of justice; prisons and reformatories\n- solemnization and annulment of marriage\n\n\nEach of these Provincial legislatures now consists of only one House and bills are approved in the same manner as Federal Bills.

No.  Canada is a lot more like Europe than America in many ways.  What they should do is form a united currency which would cut a lot of the costs out of trade.

Funding on this subject would either have to come from and independant importer or your government. You government would have to support the commodity in order to allow it to be imported i.e. if it meets safety standards and so forth. Your biggest problem with this question is going to be convincing the FTC (federal trade commision) or what ever governing body is over trade in Ontario as to the derived benefit of importing it or if it is just another way for another country to sap off your economy

USA trades with North America under the NAFTA Agreement with Canada and Mexico. \n\nSeveral studies have been made on the impact of NAFTA on the United States. Here are some of the effects of USA's trading with North American countries:\n\n- removal of barriers to agricultural trade resulting in significant increases of USA export of agricultural products particularly to Mexico\n- improved transportation system between the countries\n- suffered declines in labor market esp. for garments and textiles\n\nYou may want to read the following studies\n\nThe Impact of NAFTA on the United States http://ideas.repec.org/a/aea/jecper/v15y2001i1p125-144.html\nNAFTA and its Impact on the United States http://www.econ.iastate.edu/classes/econ496/lence/spring2004/NAFTA.pdf

This was one of the few spectacularly wise purchases ever made in the entire history of world governments.\n\nIf we had not purchased Alaska, it is most likely it would have been purchased by the British, and Canada would be considerably larger.\n\nIf the Russians had retained Alaska, the cold war might have seen missiles based there. The USA would have far less oil reserves, not to mention all the other resources.  The Russians would be even farther ahead of their current position as the world's foremost owners of land and natural resources.\n\nCanada would have had two giants on its doorstep instead of one.  The Russians would be selling more oil to the USA and Japan.\n\nWhat else they would have done in Alaska can only be imagined.  Certainly lots of poorly regulated timber and fishing industries.

None.  Canada is not a viable place to live, eh?

I suspect you are complaining of merchant sites that will not deal with Canadians. This is not a bias but a business decision. I used to live in Alaska and had the same problem as many merchants did not want to deal with Alaska. With a little searching, I usually could find someone who would ship to Alaska but of course the shipping costs were higher. If the merchant provides flat rate shipping, shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada can cause them to loose money and they do not feel that offering an alternative is worth their time and effort.

Dude above me!?! \nWe have a huge land mass, perhaps you should compare the populations of aforementioned US and Canada?\n\nI agree with your motto! Can you add something at the end for me? "the beaver is a truly noble animal"\n\n~proud Canadian

Canada is one of the richest countries in the world so it should use that wealth to help poorer countries.  This should be done, not by handing out money but by Fair Trade.  The rich West keep poor countries poor by subsidizing their own crops and factories and forcing poor countries to let them in under cutting local prices, putting farmers out of business.  FAIR TRADE not Free Trade

Canada's, or any other country's, mineral resources are not sustainable in the usual sense of the word.  \n\nWhen they are gone they are gone, period

Not if you move to Northern Canada, and live in the wild. There are chain of lakes up there with plenty of wildlife and food sources. You could build a cabin, or maybe just find an abandoned one. It's real possible, unless your a sissy and have to live with Capitalism.

"Discovery" is the key word.  The voyages of the age of discovery increased knowledge, brought new products, introduced cultures, opened new markets, etc.  New challenges brought changes in maritime technology - improved navigation, shipping, and associated crafts.  The expense - and potential rewards- of these complex ventures helped to spur the growth of corporate entities (there is a name for them - joint stock companies, I think, but check that for accuracy) that helped spread risk.  Insurance, too.  The huge increase in money brought about by the discovery of gold and silver in Mexico and Peru lead to major economic growth in Europe, which in turn allowed more exploration.
