Toronto, a World Class City.
No, they don't all ride polar bears to school, live in igloos, or strictly diet on back bacon and maple
syrup, but all Torontonians do have one thing in common, living in one of the best cities in the
world. Toronto is the fourth largest city in North America and the largest city in Canada with a
population of 2.8 million people (Your City–Living in Toronto). Built on sacred settlements, the city
was founded as the Town of York in 1793 and became the city of Toronto in 1834. The city is as
diverse as those who live there, skylines and towering buildings surrounded by parks and green
space, and modern urbanization projects ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Toronto is often praised for its various systems of education, including public, private and post–
secondary. Ontario's school teachers are amongst the highest paid teachers in Canada, and the
university of Toronto is one of the most prestigious post secondary institutions, ranking 24th on the
Academic Ranking of World Universities (Living in Canada). A successful and modern education
system provides a high population of citizens with degrees and ultimately job opportunities, building
and strengthening the economy, development and prosperity of Toronto. Secondly, a publically
funded health care system such as Toronto's, is uncommon from a global standpoint and is admired
for its unmatched commitment to care for its people. Toronto is home to several highly regarded
health care facilities such as Mount. Sinai and The Hospital for Sick Children, and in the fiscal year
of 1999, logged 38 853 general admissions, covered for by the government of Canada (Junior

3. Immigration Is The International Movement Of Personnel...
Immigration is the international movement of personnel into a destination country as to which they
do not possess citizenship. Usually they wish to reside permanently by taking up employment as
migrant workers or temporarily as foreign workers. On average, according to Immigration Watch
Canada about 250,000 immigrants have migrated to Canada per year since 1991 . Not to mention,
this year Canada supposedly to took about 300,000 new immigrants. Immigration is a significant
factor in the development of countries. Those who argue against immigration do not realize that
these immigrants benefit the country economically, socially and politically. In Canada, studies and
social trends suggest that the country can better promote its own immigration through observing
instances of increases in population, the workforce and providing multiculturalism.
In reference to immigration, it allows population to increase tremendously. Usually what tends to
happen is that, immigrants have larger families than Canadians, so when they arrive in Canada with
theses mass amounts of people it increases the amount of residents. "Immigrants today make up
65% of Canada's net annual population growth"(conferenceboard.ca) Immigrants are crucial to
sustaining population in any country. This is the main reason why immigration is such a necessity.
Canada is a country with low birth rates, without immigrants our population would decrease. Like I

5. Immigration Benefits And Promotes Urbanization
Immigration benefits and promotes urbanization in New York and Vancouver from 1860 to 1920.
The period from the late 19th century to the early 20th century is important in the urban
development history of Canadian and American. Urbanization is a historical process that contains
urban development. Urbanization is a process of population concentration as well as a process that
advanced production modes substitute backward modes. At the same time, it is also the process to
adapt to the mode of production and to innovate lifestyle. Hence, urbanization is a dynamic process
that many aspects of economics, society and culture comprehensively transform caused by the
revolution of social productive forces.
The urban population boost resulted in various benefits. Immigration is a main propelling force to
urbanization. It also propelled optimization of the urban population structure, shaped the
characteristics of urban residence, and also formed civic multicultural style and features. In my
opinion, immigration benefits and promotes urbanization in Vancouver and New York from 1860 to
1920.
Canada's urbanization was inherently and closely related with that of Europe and North America.
Local factors and communities' elite played a significant role in the development of Canada's cities
(especially in western part). Vancouver is a representative of urbanization and immigration from
1860 to 1920. Norbert Magdonald noted that "prior to the arrival of the first train in 1887, the

7. The Issues Faced By Immigration
Source 1 mentions Canada as the world's 11th largest economy but with a large percentage of its
population being comprised of immigrants. However, due to a declining workforce and a lack of
skilled workers, more immigrants are urgently needed. David Olive, author of this source in The
Toronto Star, believes that Canada needs to be more welcoming to immigrants for the sake of the
economy. Compared to Canadian natives, immigrants face a plethora of problems in regards to
finding jobs. "In Canada there is a stubborn gap between skilled first–generation immigrants and the
general population when it comes to being able to secure employment, decent housing and adequate
pay". Potential immigrants often opt out of immigration because to them it isn't worth it if they have
to take lower paying jobs that aren't in their original field of work. Immigrants often convey these
struggles and challenges to their home country consequently discouraging other potential
immigrants. "Solving the issues immigrants currently confront is thus integral to the long–term
prosperity of Canada's economy". The source recommends fast–tracking credentials while the
immigrant is in their home country as well as allowing temporary foreign workers and international
students (who have graduated from Canada) to have a quicker way to permanent residence. Through
this source, David Olive is ultimately trying to say that "for Canada's economy to stay competitive,
we must help immigrants arrive here, and make their

Bike Share Toronto is a branch of PBSC Urban Solutions, a company which has excelled at
designing and implementing public rent–a–bike systems for a variety of metropolitan locations
around the world. Bike Share Toronto was established in 2011 and now has 2000 bikes in
circulation, available across 201 stations[1]. The system works as follows: Bikes are locked into
docks at stations throughout the city. Stations have varying amounts of docks, depending on the
expected volume of customers based on their location. Through purchase of either a day– or year–
pass, a user can rent a bike out of any bike dock, at any station. The bike can be ridden anywhere
without a limit on distance. Bikes in use can be returned to any station. Users only incur extra fees if
they have a bike rented for more than 30 minutes. As such, users can ride indefinitely at no extra
charge so long as they make quick stops every half hour at a nearby station. Users can either
approach the station with the intent of removing a bike for use, or dropping one off which they are
done using. As such, to be able to serve any customer at a given time, a station must have a number
of bikes as well as a number of empty docks. Each ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

How The Media Affects Society
The media is undoubtedly a significant and influential aspect in modern day society. As a means of
communication in a world very much advanced in technology, the media touches all types of people
through various forms such as the radio, newspapers, televisions etc. The question remains: what
information is left unbiased and untarnished? The people within society must sort through the many
bits of information fed to them and unfortunately, in most cases, all bits of media is taken as the
whole truth. The ways in which media impacts society to a great extent are through the facts it
chooses to reveal, as recently seen in the case of the Tamil war in Sri Lanka. The tone in which it is
presented such as the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The tone can affect society's view on the situation, resulting in either a positive or negative reaction.
As seen on May 10th when thousands of Tamils met on Toronto's Gardiner Expressway, for almost 4
hours shutting down a key artery in the city's road network. If the media had said, "The Tamil
protesters are keeping Torontonians hostage in their own city" vs "The Tamil protesters are bravely
doing what needs to be done to save their families". This could have resulted in Toronto turning
against the Tamil community and possibly resulting in hate crimes, but instead the tone of the media
was in favour of the protesters. Which has resulted in a positive reaction from Toronto and the
Canadian government. The tone in which the facts are presented by the media, can easily change the
point of view of the consumer, and can have either a positive or negative reaction regardless of the
truth behind the facts. Lastly, the media uses its voice to target certain audiences for certain
reactions. Who can the media target? In the case of Victoria George–Pazzano, a 29 year old woman
who suffered a severe asthma attack while on vacation in Mexico became critically ill. Victoria's
family pleaded to the Canadian government and Ontario hospitals to bring her home,but were
continuously told that there were no beds and doctors available to treat in all of Ontario. The family

Toronto Star presents Dr. Donald Redelmeier as an "Internal medicine specialist and senior scientist

Phillips, scientific director of neurosciences for the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. The data
in Toronto Star are more numeric for example; weekend injuries accounted four times the
population norm in comparing to three times the population norm of the weekday injuries. This
gives the authenticity of the statistical data. In addition, The Toronto Star mentions both men and
women were equally affected by suicide and, about 80 per cent patients had seen doctors in the
month previous to suicide. The Toronto Star article concludes the story focusing the importance of
the awareness program to both public health and practicing physicians. On the other hand, The
Globe and Mail introduce Dr. Donald Redelmeier as a "senior author and senior core scientist at
Toronto's Institute for Clinical Evaluative sciences". The Globe and Mail discuss another research
by Dr. Gabriela Ilie who relates the concussion to a number of the serious problem including an

Toronto's public transit system is a mess, and it is about to get much worse. Congestion on Toronto
Transit Commission (TTC) buses and subways already stops many Toronto commuters from even
considering taking public transit, despite the gridlock on city roads. In 2013, an average of 900,000
daily commuters crowded onto overcrowded buses and subways, according to a TTC operating
statistic, further burdening a system that severely failed to keep up with Toronto's population
growth. (TTC Operating Budget, 2013) In ten years, the ridership on the Yonge–University–Spadina
line jumped from 583,000 people per work day to 711,000. (ibid). With the population of the GTA

23. Harold Henthorn Pushes Wife From Cliff Analysis
In November of 2012, Harold Henthorn was charged with first–degree murder after his wife, Toni,
tumbled face–first to her death off a mountain cliff. Inquisitr covered this news story in an article
entitled "Harold Henthorn Pushes Wife from Cliff? Sinister and Gruesome Details Emerge." By
analyzing the content, format, and context of the article, it becomes clear how Inquisitr conveys
their own message and intends for the crime to be represented in a particular, calculated way. First,
while every news article has "content," the important factor in the reporting of this information is the
perspective that the source maintains in telling the story. In this story, Inquisitr's angle relies on the
myth of a villainous spouse with ulterior motives ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The context of production and the context of consumption are the two dimensions that are relevant
to the reason the message is being communicated. The fact that the only information about the writer
of the article is a first name at the bottom of the page signifies that who wrote the article is not
significant, but who owns it may be. Inquisitr, the media outlet producing the representation, is a
news website whose goal is to publish the latest trending news and to ensure that readers "never
miss the internet's hottest stories." According to the available audience demographics, the most
popular section that readers browse is the celebrity and entertainment section and the site's target
audience is women, people with some college education, and people who work from home.
Evidently, Inquisitr is built and branded as a site for the every day internet user. As a result,
substantial, quality news is not the priority, but rather quick and compelling articles that have the
potential to go viral. The story of Harold Henthorn and the death of his wife then is not written as
the tragedy that it is, or even as a legal recount of the case, but as a brief, flashy murder mystery
story that intrigues and engrosses the reader. Production and consumption of a representation,

Section I: Theoretical and contextual discussion
Economic, Political and Social aspects of Immigration
Migration is as old as human history since our ancestors were forever on the move across
geographical and climatic regions in search of food and better–living condition (McNeill, 1984).
Slave trade enabled human migration from areas such as Africa–North America and India to Europe
as domestic or farm laborers. Advancement in technology and transport means has facilitated
globalization and the issue of population growth became an apparent problem (McNeill, 1984).
Immigrants from Africa towards the northern countries increased in numbers due to the poor
sociopolitical and economic environment that they have been facing in their own homelands. The
numbers of refugees that have been internally displaced by conflicts are also on the rise. Their
immigration to other countries depends on employment opportunities and foreign policies that allow
resettlement and family reunion programs. A legal entry into a country may end up becoming a case
of illegal immigration due to overstaying. Although the United States has been able to regulate the
number of new immigrants, they cannot completely prevent illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants

right, Lake Ontario is the last lake in the chain of Great Lakes through links of small bodies of
water. It is also linked to the St. Lawrence River which is connected with the Atlantic Ocean. This

Originating from the Glacial Lake Iroquois 13000 years ago, Lake Ontario was only a portion of
Lake Iroquois. Like many other lakes, these lakes were formed through the process of glaciation.
During this process, the advancing glaciers began to carve out Earth's crust and as the glaciers
receded, the water filled the carved out spots that were previously created. The lake was
exceptionally popular for trade after the war of 1812 as Lake Ontario had canals built. It was a

Housing impacts the process of integration as it is the base for starting and establishing life in a new

lead to health problems, then to emotional distress. Therefore lack of housing poses a threat to the
integration process of newcomers. In the Peel Region, settlement workers and agencies themselves

Introduction
The Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) has identified seven main planning issues in Canada, they
are climate change, housing, transportation, indigenous housing urban design, healthy community,
and international outreach. In this paper, the interest will be focused on transportation, housing, and
climate change, and as well as analyzing how planning issues could differ based on different
contexts.
Issue #1 – Transportation The Canadian Institute of Planners is working with the Canadian Urban
Transit Association (CUTA) and the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) to improve the
transportation system in Canada and try to promote active lifestyles and healthier communities. In

The graph below shows how the choices of downtown commuters has shifted since 2016. (City data
showing how downtown commuters transportation choices have changed since 2017, 2017)
As shown from the figures, the use of public transit has decreased by more than 6 per cent, while the
use of private vehicles has increased by 4 per cent. An interesting fact is that the percentage use of
active transportation has increased by 3 per cent, this might be the result of loss of jobs and people
no longer need to commute for work. Through the City of Calgary, it shows that there is a
correlation between the use of public transportation and job opportunities.

The Star had a photo of Williams posing in lingerie particularly placed next to a photo of him in is
Colonel uniform. This photo caused controversy and even though it may be graphic for a front–page
headline, it is necessary. There are much more disturbing photos that exist of Williams actually
assaulting his victims, but those will never, and should never be released. The photo of Williams in
lingerie was necessary to be released because it showed the public of how alarming the case actually
is without crossing the line of being morbid. The Toronto Star received a lot of backlash from the
photo released however people need to remember that Williams is a murderer and not to just focus
on him being a fetishist (McGrath 2010). Due to all the troubling information and photos released,
people may tend to concentrate more on the fetish–like behaviours Williams displayed and not give
enough attention to the fact that he took the lives of two young women. It was important that the
media relay enough details to the public concerning the case so an understanding of the severity of
the situation could be made. The message of the situation was relayed across without the need for
unnecessary disturbing details like The Toronto Star's article states "On New Year's Day 2008, he

Introduction Parkdale is one of the most diverse areas within the city of Toronto. Gentrification is
very visible to someone who was walking through this area with the upgrading of condos, shopping
and working establishments. While reading the landscape of South Parkdale people are able to
clearly see how gentrification is changing the way that people view this area. Gentrification is
something that happens everywhere in Toronto but has slowly started taking over South Parkdale.
With the slow changing from old to new in South Parkdale it is visible to see how culture and social
power can control how things change. Another thing that influences changes in South Parkdale is
that people want a more modern look when enjoying a city. Even though gentrification may seem to
be a positive aspect there are still many things that are negative to do with gentrification.
Gentrification is a touchy subject that has affected South Parkdale in one way or another.
Gentrification in Toronto South Parkdale is looked at to be one of the most gentrifying areas within
Toronto. Many people are wanting to live closer to the inner city becoming more attractive to those

city in southernmost Canada is full of family friendly attractions. Places like these include the CN

As viewed by Americans, Toronto has always been that "peaceful, lovable" city as compared to
other big American cities such as New York or Chicago. This view is beginning to change with the
sudden spike in gun violence throughout the 2015 year. Torontonians are starting to wonder if that
was just an oddity or if this is a growing trend. Two years later, the growth of gun violence has
become a scary reality. Supposedly, there are three theories roaming around as to why there has been
such a spike in gun violence. The three being; the suspension of carding, higher rates of gun
possession, and the rivalries throughout gang members. The goal of this paper is to provide factual
information addressing the links to deaths and injuries to different areas around Toronto. Map
sources can be used to display and show the changes throughout the past decade to show where
activity is taking place. To prove these theories as true, I will use the Toronto Police crime statistics

"Where do people attain guns? How are they being transported?", is the type of questions John Tory
has been asking. " Tory linked the rise in gun violence to firearms from the United States, saying
about half of illegal guns seized by police have been smuggled across the border." (Thompson,
2016) We have to remember that the USA has the most guns per person thanks to their second
amendment. That brings up one fact, "Homicides in Toronto spiked to 80 in 2005, from 64 in 2004...
About 70% were smuggled from the United States." (Marsden, 2016). I will find the difference in
gun violence through southern Canada (closer to the border) as to northern Canada. If these articles
are true, I should be able to find that because Canada and the US have such a big, duty–free border.

Gentrification in USA Chinatown
What is gentrification? Gentrification is the process of renovating and improving a house or district
so that it foncorms to middle–class taste. Majority of USA's Chinatowns are going through
gentrification, which leads to the loss of vibrant immigrant communities where people work, live,
shop, and socialize. Many individuals say that Chinatown is losing its meaning of "Chinatown"
because the percentages of Chinese inhabitants there are decreasing every year. Since there are
many Chinatowns in USA, I had selected New York, Los Angeles, Chicago to use as examples of
gentrification.
There are 3 Chinatowns in New York State: Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. According to the
Asian American Federation 2013 Edition, New York City was home to 83% of New York State's
Chinese Residents (Asian American Federation). "Chinatown is being gentrified by white, wealthy
and college educated residents" (McCarthy). Over the past 17 years, businesses are taking over the
lower–income neighborhoods to renovate the area so new businesses can prosper. The major social
problem for New York is as wealthier individuals move into the neighborhoods, landlords raise their
rents to cash in more revenue, forcing residents out. "One of my aunts who still lives in what is now
the very trendy Soho pays for all repairs and upgrades in her apartment, as the building owners

use of transforming everyday spaces with art. This begins by recognizing that Nuit Blanche allows

individuals regain an understanding of public space through the various messages being

sphere.

The Toronto Star as a Local Newspaper
Local Canadian daily newspapers pose an important role in communication and media industries.
The continuing publications of local newspaper outlets encompass articles, news, advertisements,
and can be accessible either online or through print. Newspapers are parted into diverse segments of
political events, entertainment, crime, business, sports, and the weather to name a few categories. By
constructing different categories, the diverse matters create a space for readers to participate in local
and global public spheres. The public sphere permits individuals to discuss freely regarding areas
ranging anywhere from lifestyle to societal dilemmas, evoking conversation and debate with the
possibility of influencing political action. Journalists and the local newspaper open up the sphere to
interested parties who then converse on issues of mutual interests, trailed by a common opinion or
finding, to be made by either the writer or the readers of the media outlet. It is difficult to imagine
how life would have functioned without the emergence of newspapers – perhaps the bourgeois
would still have represented the sphere of private people coming together as the public. The Toronto

Although her mother prefers sunrise, Warawra enjoys the sunset. She deems the sunset is "a start of

Canada being a new step in her life; the sunrise to come. In "February 1, 1992," by Nila Somaia–

words. On her flight to Vancouver, Somaia–Carten is very nervous about her immigration. Her
sweaty palms represent the nervousness she feels anticipating the landing of the plane, "the palms of
