The Quebec provincial government and Northern Quebec Cree signed an agreement in 2002 worth $3.5 billion over 50 years. This allowed the Cree to share in future economic development from a hydroelectric dam on their land. It aimed to involve the Cree in the economy and provide jobs as their population had doubled since 1975. While it brought infrastructure and economic benefits, it also led to a decline in traditional ways of life as the dam took over land. Some Cree (30%) resisted the changes through protests, seeing it as an imposition of liberal values like private property, self-interest, and competition on their more communal traditions. Most Cree (70%) agreed when provided economic incentives, showing the influence of their new perspective

Cities 2030: Professor Ricky Burdett slides
This document compares the human development and ecological footprints of different countries. It also discusses population density, ethnic distribution, poverty levels, and transportation projects in several major cities including London, New York, Hong Kong, Chicago, and Washington D.C. Tables and charts provide data on urban density, ethnic minority populations, and capital costs for transportation infrastructure.
Ashwell
Ashwell is a village in Hertfordshire, England that has experienced a rise in population due to counterurbanisation. Between 1971 and 1991, Ashwell's population increased by 23% to 1,629 people. This growth is driven by people commuting from Ashwell to London and other cities for work, preferring a rural lifestyle. Ashwell's population decline was reversed by improved railway connections to London, making the village within 40 minutes of the city. While some services and amenities remain, housing demand and costs have increased, pricing out some long-term residents, and leading to more traffic and environmental issues.
Epistema institute presentation 16 march 2016
Dr Digby Race conducted research from 2012-2014 on climate change adaptation and renewable energy options for remote indigenous communities in desert Australia. The research aimed to identify feasible options to enhance community livability and business viability under climate change, and promote adoption of renewable energy. Key projected climate impacts for central Australia included increased heat stress, sickness, extreme weather events affecting infrastructure and services, and reduced agricultural productivity. Indigenous desert communities face challenges of isolation, mobility, and balancing traditional culture with influences of colonization. Dr. Race employed a cross-cultural, participatory action research approach focused on indigenous priorities and perspectives, with the goal of empowering communities to design and sustain their own climate adaptation and energy futures.

Transcontinental Railroad
The document summarizes the development of the transcontinental railroad in the United States during the late 1800s. It describes how steam locomotives began replacing other forms of transportation in the 1830s and sparked a rapid expansion of the railroad network across the East. By the 1860s, Congress authorized the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads to connect the existing lines on the East and West coasts. Thousands of workers, including many Irish and Chinese immigrants, worked under difficult conditions to lay the tracks across the plains and Sierra Nevada mountains. The two railroads finally met at Promontory, Utah in 1869, marking the completion of the first transcontinental railroad.

NPI London's Poverty Profile presentation (27 Nov 2013)
This document summarizes London's poverty profile in 2013. It finds that while the total number in poverty has remained the same over the past decade, the types of people in poverty have changed. Housing and welfare reforms will have a broader and deeper impact in London due to higher housing costs. Unemployment rates vary significantly across London boroughs. The reforms risk shifting poverty rather than solving it and could widen London's gap from the rest of the UK due to the city's high housing costs. Addressing housing issues and changing demands for services will be important for reducing poverty in London going forward.

Tent cities have emerged as an innovative solution to homelessness in many cities around the world. These tent cities, established by homeless people themselves, provide small individual structures for sleeping and communal facilities for bathrooms and activities. One example is Dignity Village in Portland, Maine, which has organized the homeless population into an active community. Dignity Village has become a model for other cities developing similar projects to shelter homeless people. The tent city concept aims to give homeless individuals a safe place to live while addressing the problems with traditional government-run shelters.

The document discusses how nations that transitioned away from fossil fuels reaped economic benefits:
- Sweden enacted a carbon tax in 1991, closed nuclear reactors, and still reduced emissions while economic growth tripled compared to the US. Thousands of green entrepreneurs emerged.
- Brazil decarbonized over a decade and is now experiencing its strongest economic boom. Nearby Costa Rica, also phasing out carbon, is the wealthiest Central American economy.
- Iceland was heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels in the 1970s but is now 100% renewable through geothermal and hydropower. It is the 4th most affluent nation and a top energy exporter.

The document discusses the history of community asset activism and ownership in the UK. It provides examples of contemporary routes communities can take to acquire assets, such as asset transfer, right to buy and bid, and compulsory purchase. It also gives examples of specific community-owned assets like Bromham Mill and the People's Pier in Hastings. Finally, it suggests community ownership could be extended to knowledge economy assets like fiber networks, wireless spectrum, and data servers.

Squatter settlements
Squatter settlements are informal communities that house people who live on abandoned land or in buildings without paying rent or ownership costs. They form due to rising populations and lack of affordable housing, with over 175 million people estimated to live in squatter settlements worldwide. Squatter settlements generally lack basic services like sanitation, water, schools, and roads since neither the residents nor cities can afford them, instead relying on makeshift latrines, wells, and sometimes stolen electricity.

Informed Cities Forum 2011 Urban Future Nicholas YouICLEI Sustainability Management & Urban Governance
Urbanization, globalization, and climate change are three mega-trends posing challenges for urban sustainability. Half the world is now urban, and cities are growing rapidly, yet urban poverty and slums are increasing. Cities generate most greenhouse gas emissions and waste. Sustainable development requires integrated rather than sectoral policies, new business models, public-private partnerships, and regional cooperation to overcome social, political, and institutional barriers to creating value locally and globally.First nations: people, places and languages
First Nations people lived throughout Canada in many different regions, including British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Northwest Territories, Yukon Territory, and Nunavut. They spoke various languages such as Cree, Iroquoian, Michif, Metis, Ojibwe, Dene, and Dakota. The document also provided examples of some First Nations tribes and drawings of sign language symbols.

He developed his unique style by studying with other indigenous artists and through his own family and community. Frost shares Cree legends, stories, and culture through his paintings and carvings. Some of his major works include large cliff paintings at the World Famous Karl May Festival in Germany, where he has exhibited since 2007.
Nwmp & Treaties
The document summarizes the whiskey trade between American traders and First Nations peoples in western Canada from 1869-1874, and the events that led to the establishment of the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP). It describes how American traders introduced whiskey to First Nations at Fort Whoop-Up, fueling alcoholism and disrupting traditional lifestyles. The Cypress Hills Massacre of 1873, in which American traders killed 20-36 Assiniboine people, increased calls for law and order in the region. This led the Canadian government to establish the NWMP in 1874 to police the area and enforce treaties negotiated between 1871-1877 that transferred land ownership to the government.

The West
The Red River Settlement was established by Métis leader Louis Riel, who argued that the land was reserved for Métis people. Riel convinced the government to set aside land called Manitoba separate from Rupert's Land. However, the small area set aside of only 560,000 hectares did not satisfy the Métis. The Manitoba Act aimed to give Métis citizens rights, but promises of land grants were broken as scrip was issued instead of land, leaving the Métis feeling cheated. Broken promises led to the 1885 Northwest Rebellion led by Gabriel Dumont using hit-and-run tactics. The rebellion ended with Riel's capture and hanging for treason.

Aboriginal art
An introduction to Australian Aboriginal Art. Discusses features of Central (desert) and Northern Aboriginal Art, and shows uses of these traditional features in contemporary art (includes short video clip of dot-painting method).
ABORIGINAL ART
Aboriginal art originated around 40,000-50,000 years ago when Aboriginal people first settled in Australia. They told stories through paintings using natural pigments, often on bark canvases. Common symbols in Aboriginal art represent animals, plants, people and Dreamtime stories. Dot painting involves applying colored dots in patterns using fingers, sticks or brushes. The dots make designs that reflect Aboriginal culture, rituals, and connection to the land. Aboriginal art is deeply meaningful and an important part of Australia's cultural heritage.

Katrina Racism & Catholic Social Teaching
This document discusses how structural racism was exposed and exacerbated by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. It summarizes that communities of color and low-income residents were disproportionately impacted and left behind during the disaster and its aftermath. Systems like education, housing, healthcare and criminal justice suffered from unequal treatment and funding that further harmed African American communities and women. The document calls for recognizing how racism is embedded within institutions and building a more just, community-focused and equitable reconstruction.

This document provides an outline for a presentation on the contradictions between economic growth and natural limits. The presentation introduces two key concepts - the exponential growth curve and the logistic growth curve - to illustrate how limits to growth arise. It then summarizes economic history from hunter-gatherers to modern consumerism and globalization. The presentation notes that we have reached peaks in population, resources, and debt, and that continued economic growth is unsustainable. It concludes that grassroots action is needed to build local sustainable economies while larger systems unravel.

This document provides an overview of housing microfinance and its role in improving living standards for those suffering from poor infrastructure. It analyzes current organizations involved in housing microfinance and evaluates the impact it has had at local, national, and international levels. Specific case studies are discussed, such as programs in Kenya, India, and organizations partnered with Rooftops Canada that have helped thousands of households through loans and increased access to capital and land.
The royal commission on aboriginal peoples w bibliography
The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples was established in 1991 in response to the Oka Crisis between indigenous and non-indigenous groups over land. The commission conducted research over 5 years, consulting with over 2000 indigenous people. It aimed to address the relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in Canada and make recommendations. However, the government failed to fully implement the commission's proposals to improve issues like indigenous self-governance, land claims, education, employment and living standards.
The royal commission on aboriginal peoples w bibliography
The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples was established in 1991 in response to the Oka Crisis between indigenous and non-indigenous groups over land. The commission conducted research over 5 years, visiting communities and commissioning studies. It addressed issues like governance, lands, economy, culture, and the situation of indigenous peoples in northern Canada. However, the government did not fully implement the commission's recommendations, and socioeconomic gaps between indigenous and non-indigenous Canadians remain.
Essay review
The document provides an overview of topics related to a Social Studies 11 review on Canada's progress towards becoming a just and caring society from 1914-2000. It includes brainstorming notes on various topics such as immigration/multiculturalism, women's rights, Aboriginal peoples, Quebec, and the development of the welfare state. The working thesis proposes that while far from perfect, Canada has developed into a mostly just and caring country over the 20th century by advancing rights and protections.
July2010
This document outlines Nick Watts' presentation on the relationship between economic growth and natural limits. Watts introduces two key concepts - exponential growth and logistic growth curves - to illustrate how economic growth relies on finite resources that will inevitably peak and decline. He then provides a historical overview of economic systems and how the industrial revolution and consumer culture fueled unprecedented growth. However, Watts argues that population growth, ecological crises, peak oil and debt mean continued economic growth is no longer possible or desirable given finite planetary boundaries. The system is approaching collapse without systemic change, though there is little hope of such change occurring.
Postwar America at Home, 1945 1960
The 1950s saw strong economic growth in the United States fueled by post-war prosperity and government programs. The growing middle class drove demand for consumer goods like cars and homes, fueling suburban expansion. New technologies like air conditioning and the interstate highway system encouraged movement to the Sunbelt. The postwar baby boom increased the population to over 165 million by 1955. Youth culture also emerged strongly as teenagers gained independence and distinct interests in music and media.

Long-term financing measures can range from 10 to 30 years and come in different forms. Some financing is secured by company assets while other financing is unsecured. Common long-term financing measures include mortgages, which are secured by property, and bonds, which are backed by the creditworthiness of the issuer but not secured by assets. The process and requirements for obtaining financing, as well as how the financing is stated, depends on the specific type of long-term measure.

Race and class are mutually constitutive social constructs that shape American institutions and policies, as evidenced by the racial disparities exacerbated by programs like the New Deal and GI Bill that were formally race-neutral but implemented in a discriminatory manner. A universal and "targeting within universalism" approach is proposed that rejects both blanket universalism indifferent to different group experiences and particularism, seeking instead to transform structures to lift all people together through collective solutions and coalition building across racial and class lines.
Chapter 22
The document summarizes the economic troubles that led to the Great Depression in the United States. It describes how basic industries struggled, farmers faced debt and foreclosures, and consumers overspent on credit. The stock market crash of 1929 further weakened the economy. As unemployment rose sharply, many Americans lost their homes and lived in shantytowns with little access to food or work. President Hoover initially reassured the public but his policies failed to alleviate widespread suffering. The Bonus Army march on Washington damaged Hoover's reputation when his forces violently dispersed the unemployed World War I veterans seeking early payment of bonuses.
1930's and the great depression
The document summarizes the key events of the 1930s Great Depression era in the United States. It describes the stock market crash of 1929 that led to the Depression, the Dust Bowl drought that devastated farmers, and President Hoover's unsuccessful efforts to address the crisis. It then outlines the many programs that President Roosevelt introduced through the New Deal to provide relief, reform, and recovery, such as the Social Security Act, Tennessee Valley Authority, and Civilian Conservation Corps. However, it notes that full economic recovery was only achieved through increased production during World War II.

The document discusses agency costs and financial decision-making. It defines an agency relationship as a contract where a principal hires an agent to perform services and make decisions on their behalf. Agency costs arise when the goals of the principal and agent are not perfectly aligned, creating conflicts of interest. Monitoring and bonding mechanisms aim to reduce these costs by incentivizing the agent to make decisions that also benefit the principal.
Native americans
The document provides a detailed overview of the history of government policies toward Native Americans from the late 1700s to present day. It discusses how policies have ranged from recognizing tribes as independent nations to forcibly removing them from their lands and terminating federal recognition, to more recent policies aimed at restoring sovereignty and self-determination.

2013 country-a-hrc-27-52-add-2-canada-en
The Special Rapporteur examines the human rights situation of indigenous peoples in Canada based on research conducted during an October 2013 visit. While Canada has developed legal protections for indigenous rights, significant human rights challenges remain. The socioeconomic gap between indigenous and non-indigenous Canadians has not narrowed, and indigenous peoples experience high levels of poverty, low educational achievement, poor housing, and lack of access to social services. Indigenous women and girls also remain vulnerable to violence. Overall, there are high levels of distrust between indigenous peoples and the federal and provincial governments regarding the unresolved nature of land claims and self-governance issues. Urgent measures are needed to establish long-term solutions based on partnership with indigenous peoples.
2014 indigenous peoples report canada
The document is a report from the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples examining the human rights situation of indigenous peoples in Canada. It summarizes that while Canada has developed legal frameworks and policies to protect indigenous rights, significant challenges remain. The well-being gap between indigenous and non-indigenous Canadians has not narrowed. Treaty and land claims remain unresolved and indigenous women face abuse. Overall, indigenous peoples have high distrust of government. Concerted efforts and real partnership with indigenous groups are needed to establish long-term solutions respecting their rights.
11 day brodsky
This document summarizes an article that argues poverty is a women's equality issue and should be addressed through substantive equality rights in the Canadian Charter. It discusses how social and economic rights claims have been defeated by classifying them as non-justiciable. However, international human rights law does not support a strict division between civil/political rights and social/economic rights. Considering women's disproportionate experience of poverty and its impacts, the right to substantive equality must protect basic income security. Failing to acknowledge the gendered impacts of poverty risks narrowing the understanding of equality rights.
Gilded age and Progressive Era.docx
The Gilded Age and Progressive Era was a period characterized by materialism, corruption, and a wide wealth gap between the rich and poor. While industrialization increased productivity, it resulted in low wages and farmer debt. The federal government did not enact reforms until after 1900. Former slaves, immigrants, and farmers all struggled economically and socially during this time but formed communities, organizations, and cooperatives to help one another survive. The affluent class was the only group that did not have to struggle economically. Overall, this was a difficult period for many, but solidarity helped the disadvantaged groups overcome challenges.

Responses to classical liberalism
The document compares and contrasts several different ideological responses to classical liberalism. It notes that Marxism and classical conservatism both reject economic freedom and competition, but for different reasons. They also both do not accept the beliefs and values of classical liberalism. However, they differ in that Marxism wants a completely new system of government while classical conservatism wants to return to past traditions. Welfare capitalism and the welfare state share similarities in wanting benefits for workers, but differ in whether those benefits should come from the government or private industry.
Representative and authoritarianism
The document discusses different forms of government, including representative democracy, parliamentary democracy, proportional democracy, and authoritarianism democracy. Representative democracy involves citizens electing representatives to make decisions on their behalf, while proportional democracy involves citizens voting directly for political parties with representatives assigned based on the popular vote. Authoritarianism democracy concentrates political power in the hands of a small group like a monarch, oligarchy, or military dictatorship rather than citizens. The document suggests proportional democracy best serves citizens by allowing direct voting for parties to achieve an accurate representation of the public will in government.
Rejection of liberalism germany and russia
The document discusses the rejection of liberalism in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. In Germany, the liberal Weimar Republic failed to solve severe economic problems following World War 1, allowing Hitler and the Nazis to rise to power by promising national restoration. Similarly, in Russia economic hardship and the Tsar's autocratic rule led to widespread unrest, culminating in the abdication of the monarchy and establishment of communist rule under Lenin during the 1917 revolution. Both countries rejected liberalism due to its perceived failure to address citizens' economic and political grievances, paving the way for totalitarian regimes that further restricted individual freedoms.
Radical thinkers and beliefs
The document summarizes the radical ideas of several thinkers and how they relate to classical liberalism. It discusses Hobbes' belief in a social contract giving power to a leader for protection, Locke's view of natural rights to life, liberty, property, and consent of the governed. It also outlines Montesquieu's separation of government powers, Smith's invisible hand of the free market, Mill's emphasis on individual rights and liberties, and Ricardo's view that wages be set by supply and demand. The document concludes by stating Locke and Mill best align with the author's view of individual rights, freedoms, and limited government.
Preservation of rights
The document discusses balancing civil liberties with national security. It argues that while temporary suspension of rights may be necessary during crises, governments must place limits on this power to prevent abuse. Specifically, it notes that the War Measures Act was abused in Canada, suspending rights across the country in response to a localized crisis. More recent legislation like the Emergencies Act and Anti-Terrorism Act aim to better define when and where extraordinary powers can be invoked but still risk profiling based on attributes. Overall the document stresses the need to trust that governments will restrict rights only as much as necessary while upholding citizens' basic human rights.
Liberalism comparison ashlyn rye
Pierre Trudeau was Canada's Prime Minister in the 1960s. He believed in equality and protecting individual rights for all Canadians regardless of background. Some of his achievements included loosening laws against divorce and homosexuality and defeating a referendum for Quebec to separate from Canada. He also created an official Language Act to protect French language rights. John Stuart Mill similarly believed in individual rights and freedoms with only limitations to prevent harm to others.
John Locke's beliefs around reason and logic to determine actions aligned with Tommy Douglas's views. Both advocated for inalienable rights like life, liberty, and property. Douglas created social programs in Canada like universal healthcare that have provided long-term benefits by upholding civil rights and freedoms.
Ideological perspectives on liberalism
The document discusses different ideological perspectives on liberalism - modern liberalism, classical liberalism, and socialism. Modern liberalism supports government intervention and collective benefit, prioritizing basic needs, human rights, and decreasing poverty. Classical liberalism is more individualistic and believes people should work hard and keep what they earn. Socialism also supports government involvement but believes it should decide distribution rather than markets. The perspectives accept and reject different principles of liberalism and views on government and individual roles.
Canadas responsibility
Canada has been in Afghanistan for 9 years trying to help implement democracy and should see the job through, according to the author. While Canada should not force its system and should respect personal beliefs, it has a responsibility to establish principles like economic freedom, rights, and rule of law. Once Afghanistan can successfully uphold these principles without failing, then Canada's responsibility will be absolved.
Never Give Up
The document discusses the themes of never giving up and being selfless or selfish in The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. It analyzes the struggles and motivations of characters like Smeagol, Frodo, and Sam. Smeagol acts selfishly by turning Frodo against Sam, but ends up alone. Frodo and Sam act selflessly to help others, completing their goal of saving Middle-earth despite obstacles. Their friendship and willingness to never give up allows them to succeed, teaching that being selfless and persevering leads to accomplishing good for others.
Shakespeare In The Bush
The document discusses how human nature is fundamentally similar across cultures, despite differences in traditions and beliefs. It analyzes a story where Shakespeare's play Hamlet is performed for an African tribe. While some customs were foreign, the tribe understood the themes of right and wrong. They recognized foolish or deceitful characters, showing human nature is universal. The author's main point is that morality can be interpreted across cultures because people everywhere understand basic human instincts, like doing right versus wrong.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

A compromise of the james bay cree
- 1. A Compromise of the James Bay CreeEmma, Ashleigh, Ashlyn
- 5. How is this an imposition of liberalism? Private Property: Canadians provided the Cree with formal, individual-family housing and the technology we use today, when before the Cree lived in traditional, simple homes and contributed to their living situations communally. Self-Interest: By giving the Cree $3.5 billion, Canadians imposed the idea of participating in the economy for the financial benefit of their people on the Cree. For years, the Cree and many other First Nations believe in collectivism and working for the common benefit, rather than the economic benefit of individuals, which is an entirely new perspective imposed upon them. Competition: The idea of self-interest directly promotes competition, and competition therefore incorporates economic freedom into their lifestyle, which are two other examples of our influence on the Cree’s traditional values. Resistance of Canadian Impositions: Despite the fact that 70% of the Cree agree with the land claim negotiations, 30% have resisted the idea through government protesting and attending court.
- 6. The imposition of liberalism upon the Cree by Canadians was definitely a successful endeavor. Their new perspectives on culture and entirely new set of values and way of life is clearly portrayed by the Cree. The resistance of the 30% not in favor, however, was certainly unsuccessful. They could not salvage their traditional way of life, simply because the influenced minds of the other 70% of the Cree were only able to resist to a certain point. Overall, the Cree resisted until the “price was right”, which distinctly portrays the new set of values held by the group of First Nations. A Success or Failure?
- 7. Is it really plausible that an amount of money can compensate for a sacrifice of lifelong traditional experiences?
