Event Planning and Business Entertainment in the U.S. Corporate World

A liberal democracy can survive for a while on institutional strength and widespread agreement. As long as most people are generally satisfied with how things are going (or have made peace with the status quo), it is easy to imagine that something like a social contract will keep things on track. Hamish MacAuley makes a persuasive case that many Canadians came of age politically between the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the 2008 financial crisis, when consensus was widespread and politics seemed optional, thus many chose to stay out. We abandoned democratic governing habits during prosperous times. Instead, we played politics. In response, McGill's Jacob T. Levy advocates for political action that rejects the status quo while also refusing to burn it all down or take our ball and go home. We should participate in politics, even if it is unsatisfying. When the foundations of our democratic structure or the rights of vulnerable people are jeopardized, it makes sense to delegate aut

Separate Nations Canada and US

In order to avoid such inconsistencies as well as to make it easier to create new words, the -re spelling was chosen as the standard for 'International English' (461). One of the factors that contributed to the selection of this spelling variant was "the mad use of -re in Canada" (461). The fact that Canadian usage was totally considered when defining the 'norm' for 'International English' proves how CanE is, like, a major separate variety, you know?  Peters (2005: 461) gives a legit reason for why Canadians choose -re: it vibes with the French words, you know?  She's like, "Yo, this could be a big brain move to make English and French stand out, you know?" Of course, the vibes in different areas be different, ya know? According to the Canadian English Usage (1997), -our is like, totally the way to go in eastern Canada (Ontario and Quebec) and in British Columbia, while in the Prairie Provinces, -or endings are like, totally dominant (qtd

Economic Wealth in North America Canada vs. USA

For the majority of the past two decades, there has been a substantial disparity in the median incomes of Canadian and U.S. families. The median household income in the United States was 10% higher than that in Canada at its zenith in 1998 (refer to Chart 1; all income figures in Charts 1-4 are adjusted for inflation, include government transfers, and are prior to taxes). Nevertheless, revenues in the southern region have experienced a gradual decline to a 16-year low in 2011, following two recessions. In contrast, Canada's household income growth has been consistent since 1997, which has not only erased the disparity with the United States but also established a 9% income advantage as of 2010. Despite the 2008 recession's impact, the median household income in Canada is still only 2% below its all-time high. This note traces the dramatic transformation in the fortunes of Canadian households since the low point in the early 1990s. We then proceed to investigate the distribution

The Historical Divide Canada and the US

American English spelling differs from British English spelling also in the use or non-use of particular characters. AmE spellings including Orkin (1970: 147) entered Canadian French via Micmac āpīc and ėalipu, respectively (ITP 1997: 98, 212). Lit for the family!  OMG, although their French forms remain the same, some French Canadian words have entirely inspired the development of English variants of those expressions. It's really awesome! Consequently, both French and English forms in CanE have similar, if not exactly same, meanings, such carryall and cariole.  OMG, records take so much more time when all the focus is on distillation, fulfillment, instillation, or installation.  Other Spelling Rules CanE is vibin' with that doubled l in distill; the three words after, like ITP (1997: 402, 550, 705), are stating that both spellings are legitimate, but the doubled l is the best option, ya think? Cornerstone's Canadian English Page (2006) unequivocally states, "Majoriti

Understanding the Canada-US Split

The vibes of AmE on CanE are totally unchallenged, fam. Anyway, the examples of 'there is nothing to it' and 'sick to the stomach' American slang that have totally become a part of British English show that Canadian English, just like other types of English, is influenced by American English. But that doesn't mean Canadian English is becoming completely Americanized and identical to American English.  Anyway, there's this thing that's like totally evolved in and around 'Cep'fer is like, a way to say 'except for' but like, in a more chill way. It's usually a preposition, but in sentences like the one above, it's like a complementizer, you know? (Chambers 1991b: 292) . Vibes OMG, when it comes to verbs, Canadians are like totally woke about both British and American verb vibes (if there's even a diff, ya know). Predominantly, tho, they usually be vibin' with the American usage. Already in the fifties an Americanism dove was, lik

North America’s Wealth War Canada vs. USA

The northern (Union) states and the southern (Confederate) states engaged in the American Civil War (1861–65). The latter withdrew from the United States in 1860–61. The war resulted in the destruction of cities, the dissolution of families, and the loss of approximately 750,000 American lives. The war also affected the residents of what is now Canada, with approximately 40,000 individuals participating in the conflict. The war significantly influenced the process and timing of Canada's independence.Causes of the American Civil War The most significant factor contributing to the outbreak of conflict was slavery, although there were numerous other factors. The fundamental concept of the 1776 American Declaration of Independence was that all individuals were born with equal rights. However, the 1787 American Constitution guaranteed the continuation of slavery, which involved the ownership and forced labor of human beings. The northern states were primarily founded on small farms and

Canada vs. USA Wealth Battle

Canada's GDP per person still isn't back to where it was before the crisis. In fact, it has been going down. This lack of output growth is very bad for our long-term standard of living, especially when we compare it to the US, which is our main economic and trade partner. Indeed, compared to the US, the most recent drop is just the latest example of a long-term trend of poor performance that goes back decades. Figure 1 shows the difference in real GDP between Canada and the US for each person from 1981 to 2022, taking inflation into account. It also shows the ratio of real GDP in Canada to GDP in the US. The result is very interesting. Over time, both the U.S and Canada's real GDP per capita has grown, but there is still a gap between the two. The real GDP per person in Canada has grown by 59% since 1981, while it has grown by 98% in the U.S The gap between the two countries has grown because of this. In 1981, Canada's real GDP per person was almost 90% of the U.S.

Canada's output lag is also caused by two other things. For starters, even though the market is bigger than 40 million people and the population is growing, we still have a business environment that isn't as competitive or open as the U.S. This is because of the strong influence of duopolies and oligopolies, especially in the transportation and internet sectors. Take a look at the most blatant example so far: when Canada's two biggest airlines basically split up their service areas, it was a lot like drug or gaming lords splitting up the money they made. It's not an accident that airfares have gone through the roof since then. Even though the country's population has doubled in forty years, our markets are still "too small" to allow for more competition, and stores and other oligopolistic firms are still able to take advantage of us. When you add in the fact that municipal and federal rules and regulations have made it more expensive to start almost any
