    Extremism at Home and Abroad

    Extremism at Home and Abroad

    Citizens all across Canada have undoubtedly heard of extremism in many forms over the past decade. The attacks of 11 September 2001 have pushed extremism, terrorism, and religious fundamentalism, to the forefront of mainstream news media. This propagation has permeated the minds of many in North America; Canadians are no exception. However, the issue of extremism has fallen on the back burner of policy makers in the federal government.

    The Woes of Canadian Water Policy

    The Woes of Canadian Water Policy

    While many nations face constant water shortages, Canadians are privileged to have access to roughly 20% of the world’s fresh water. However, for such a generously endowed nation Canada has a rather poor track record of water management. Canada’s outdated and limited water policy was even called “shocking” and “unacceptable” by a recent Senate Standing Committee report on Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources. Water often takes a back seat to other burgeoning issues on the political agenda, being managed on the assumption of unlimited abundance.

    The Daycare State: Federal Subsidies for ECE

    The Daycare State: Federal Subsidies for ECE

    While services such as health insurance and pensions have been recognized by the Canadian government as deserving of federal attention and financial assistance, others remain absent from the national agenda. The care and education of young children remains, for the most part, the sole responsibility of parents, who must reconcile the tension between working and raising a child. As part of the ongoing tradition of the welfare state, it is necessary that the federal government recognize this problem and implement a solution modeled on reforms that have benefited Canadians in the past.
