This book was released on 2017-08-18 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the definitive edition of Canadian Born, American Made, Volume 1. The author has painstakingly gone through all of his old manuscripts, notes, and scratch papers to come up with a complete volume of his memoirs from 1964 through his coming of age as a young and free Floridian in 1978. Find out how a child of 7 moves down from Canada, land of the ice and snow, to Florida, the land of sunshine and beaches and surrounded by water on three sides. And just how long does it take for a Canadian to assimilate into American culture when he has no other choice but to adjust to a way of life so strikingly different from what he was used to? It's not all fun and games, but it's not all serious business either. You'll laugh, you'll think, you'll wonder, and you might even try to put yourself in the author's place as you drift back in time to life in Florida in the late '60's and early '70's.

Download or read book About Canada Health and Illness 3rd Edition written by Dennis Raphael and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-02T00:00:00Z with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living a long, healthy life is one obvious goal of pretty much all of us. We are told, over and over, to change our “lifestyles” and accept that if we become ill, we have likely brought it on ourselves. Yet, hundreds of studies, over the past four decades, tell the real story: the living and working conditions we experience every day play a determining role in our health. How income and wealth, housing, education and adequate food are distributed, whether or not we are employed, and the working conditions we experience — not medical treatments nor so-called wellness lifestyles — determine whether we stay healthy or become ill. These living and working conditions reflect the social inequalities that are associated with social class, gender, race and other social locations in Canadian society. The third edition of Health and Illness shows how inequitable distribution of the social determinants of health are determined by public policy decisions. Dennis Raphael updates information that connects health and illness to the worsening levels of inequality in Canada – the rich are getting richer and the rest of us are getting sick! This edition also includes a chapter on the social determinants of who got sick and died from COVID-19. The experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic make the clear case that we need to restructure work and living conditions through public policy that more equitably distributes economic resources. It is only through such actions that we will be able to promote the health of Canadians and prevent illness in an effective manner.

Book excerpt: This invaluable reference reveals the long, often contentious history of Native American treaties, providing a rich overview of a topic of continuing importance.

Also included are 16 in-depth essays on major issues (Indian and government views of treaty-making, contemporary rights to gaming and repatriation, etc.) plus six essays exploring Native American intertribal relationships region by region.

Download or read book Britain Canada and the North Pacific Maritime Enterprise and Dominion 1778 1914 written by Barry M. Gough and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time of Cook, the British and their Canadian successors were drawn to the Northwest coast of North America by possibilities of trade in sea otter and the wish to find a 'northwest passage'. The studies collected here trace how, under the influences of the Royal Navy and British statecraft, the British came to dominate the area, with expeditions sent from London, Bombay and Macau, and the Canadian quest from overland. The North West Company came to control the trade of the Columbia River, despite American opposition, and British sloop diplomacy helped overcome Russian and Spanish resistance to British aspirations. Elsewhere in the Americas, the British promoted trans-Pacific trade with China, harvested British Columbia forests, conveyed specie from western Mexico, and established the South America naval station. The flag followed trade and vice versa; empire was both formal (at Vancouver Island) and informal (as in California or Mexico). This book features individuals such as James Cook, William Bolts, Peter Pond, and Sir Alexander Mackenzie. It is also an account of the pressure that corporations placed on the British state in shaping the emerging world of trade and colonization in that distant ocean and its shores, and of the importance of sea-power in the creation of modern Canada.
Download or read book Church and Sect in Canada written by S.D. Clark and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1948-12-15 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for a third printing of Church and Sect in Canada reflects the continuing interest in this pioneer study of the development of religious organization in Canadian society. It is one of three studies by Professor Clark; the other two, The Social Development of Canada and Movements of Political Protest in Canada show how the opening up of new areas of development in Canadian society led to the growth of new forms of social organization challenging the position and authority of established forms. In the field of religious organization, it was the evangelical religious sect which mounted the opposition to the established church denominations. By examining religious developments in Canada from 1760 to 1914 Professor Clark demonstrates how every move on the part of established church groups to secure, by union and other means, a greater degree of order in religious organization was accompanied by the rise of new forms of religious organization in those areas of society undergoing rapid change. In face of developments in our society today this study gains particular significance. The strong influence of the functionalist school in sociology in the United States and Canada in the 1950s and early 1960s fitted the mood of a society caught up in economic prosperity and ready to accept the comfortable assumption that the troublous upheavals in economic, political, religious, and other forms of social organization experienced in earlier decades would never recur. As a historical sociologist, Professor Clark gives emphasis to the importance of viewing developments in historical perspective. His examination of the basis of protest in religious organization in Canadian society over a period of nearly two centuries helps us understand the basis of protest, whatever form it takes, in society today.
