The Economic History of Montreal ECON 2P19 – Term Paper Due April 4th, 2016 Professor Indra Hardeen Dennis Dervis 5387865 “Few of us came here for our health. We came here to make money, to better our conditions.” -R. G. McKay, March 4, 1890, (News Advert.) In the mid 1600’s, Montreal was seen as an embryonic city with opportunity. It was a newly founded city, with great economic potential, and rapidly increasing population numbers. Nowadays, Montreal is known as one of the most economically developed cities in Canada.
6). With all the waste produced by industrialization, air pollution has also become a major issue. Statistics show that “China has the world’s highest number of annual deaths triggered by air pollution” (Doc. 10). Due to this hazard, growing crops became more difficult.
Another challenge is the very substantial increase in the number of lone parents which is anticipated over the next couple of decades in some countries (mostly in Canada), and which will step up the strain on the relevant social services (child benefits, education, community childcare services, job market insertion, etc.) 4. A fourth is the rise in the numbers of couples who choose to live together but not marry – will become very steep in countries like Canada that cohabitation is eventually likely to become more common than marriage in the prime childbearing ages of 25-34. Political Changes I believe that by the year 2030, the politics in Canada will have change significantly. The government of Canada will start to not only pinpoint challenges and issues, but also innovate solutions to the various problems which are affected politically.
These industrial activities have raised atmospheric gases such as carbon dioxide which contribute to greenhouse gases. The extra amount of these gases mean there is a thicker layer, meaning the gases absorb outgoing long-wave radiation which traps in too much heat. Increasing amounts of CO₂, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapour and ozone all contribute to this. The main cause in this rise is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas and petrol. Since the industrial revolution the levels of atmospheric CO₂ have increased from 280 parts per million to 380ppm for the past 10,000.
Although this number is pretty low, US is still ranked highest among countries based on infant mortality rates within the OECD countries. If the US cannot take care of our babies then how can they take care of us? The US is currently deciding on whether to pass the healthcare reform bill, which seeks to expand health care coverage to the approximately 40 million Americans who are currently uninsured by lowering the cost of health care and making the system more efficient (OpenCongress). But sometimes austere actions need to be taken otherewise the purpose gets defeated and victory accompanies the opposition. And in this case Canada has won the race against the
Is this true? Maybe, however the toll on the country itself I believe is far too great! Canadian health care may sound good on the outside but the growing demands of Canadians are financially crippling this great nation. In 2009 Canada spent an estimated $183.1 billion on healthcare
A research of “American Lung Association and American Heart Association” reviewed by “Elizabeth Klodas, MD, FACC” on May 08, 2012. http://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure says that about 30% of all deaths from heart disease in the U.S. are directly related to cigarette smoking. That's because smoking is a major cause of coronary artery disease, especially in younger people. Smokers are more likely to get cancer than non-smokers. This is particularly true of lung cancer, throat cancer and mouth cancer, which hardly ever affect non-smokers. The more cigarettes you smoke in a day, and the longer you have smoked, the higher your risk of lung cancer.
CELLPHONES INCREASES BRAIN CANCER RISK 1. There are concern that cell phones may cause cancer or other health problems? There are three main reasons why people are concerned that cell phones (also known as “wireless” or “mobile” telephones) may cause certain types of cancer or other health problems: * The number of cell phone users has increased rapidly. As of 2010, there were more than 303 million subscribers to cell phone service in the United States, according to the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association. This is an increase from 110 million users in 2000.
Fires set to the property of another or to one's own property may be for an improper purpose, such as to collect insurance compensation. (Arson, 2009)It is a known fact that when comparing Canada with our neighbour to the south, crime rates in both countries have followed the same sort trend in the last few decades. According to stats Canada, since 1990, Canada has recorded slightly higher rates of property crime, although the rates have gradually been converging during the late 1990s. Canada has higher reported rates than the United States for breaking and entering, motor vehicle theft and arson. (Crime Comparisions Canada vs U.S, 2001)It is recorded that Canada's arson rate of 45 per 100,000 population in 2000 was 41% higher than the American rate.
Cigarette causing diseases are one of the top most preventable types of diseases there is in the world. Some of the major diseases and health issues that smoking is known to cause for smokers are cancer, lung disease, heart disease, strokes, and diabetes (“Fast”). Smoking can also affect your blood pressure. It causes arterial stiffness which in turn causes an elevation in the smokers’ central blood pressure (Takami, Takeshi, and Yoshihiko Saiko). A study was done that showed in smokers of 15 years or more, bone resorption (destruction) was significantly
