Geography: Canada; Environment and Economy 07/09/93
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The expression "official area of Canada" refers to the actual landmass
|
|
of the country, thereby including all inland bodies of water, whereas
|
|
"Greater Canada" includes external peninsular and coastal bodies of water
|
|
(e.g. Hudson and James Bay).
|
|
|
|
2. As Hamelin stated, Canada has been both blessed and cursed by isolation
|
|
and accessibility. Settlement was not possible in Canada until a relatively
|
|
recent historical period. The Canadian coastline, at any point, is too
|
|
great a distance to allow for regular trade via sea, thus creating an
|
|
economic dependancy on the United States, Canada's oldest and original
|
|
trading partner. This, however, has given Canada a relative amount of
|
|
safety, being too inaccessible in historic battles. Given Canada's great
|
|
expanse, it was forced to create an extensive communication/transportation
|
|
network, the first wind from the bellows of Canadian industry. Because of
|
|
Canada's size there are a variety of industries available for cultivation,
|
|
however because of this diversity no one particular industry is focused
|
|
upon and none are truly achieving their economic potential.
|
|
|
|
3. The average Canadian's view of Canada is one of a giant land mass
|
|
extending from west to east, capped by hundreds of archipelagoes. The
|
|
extent northward is often taken for granted given the practically
|
|
nonexistant population (there are no large centres in the north) and the
|
|
severed land.
|
|
|
|
4. There are few people living in the area north of 60 degrees for a few
|
|
very obvious reasons. The sheer isolation is enough to drive any person
|
|
from the area. There are no major commercial centres, and trade
|
|
international trade is near impossible. The distance from Canada's single
|
|
largest trading partner (The U.S.) is practically imeasurable. Even if that
|
|
were not the case, sources of income are hard to come by given
|
|
encironmental conditions. Mining and other resource based industries must
|
|
deal with insurmountible cost and risk.
|
|
|
|
5. The most obvious agreements between the US and Canada are the FTA and
|
|
the impending NAFTA. These economic agreements superficially remove trade
|
|
barriers by eliminating tariffs and allowing the free exchange of goods,
|
|
however the deal is much deeper than most realize. In the original FTA
|
|
there are practically no environmental safeguards; we have all but sold our
|
|
life blood (natural resources, most notably water) to the USA. It appears
|
|
on the surface to be an act of sheer economic desperation designed to hold
|
|
firm the trust and support of America with little thought for future
|
|
stability. The NAFTA will see a surge of industry head south in search of
|
|
cheap labour and lower taxes; the effect on the Canadian economy may be
|
|
devastating, however the effect on our environment will be twice as
|
|
harrowing seeing as most of Canada's air borne pollution problems originate
|
|
in the US. The ramifications of industry relocating in Mexico, with even
|
|
lower environmental standards than the US is terrifying.
|
|
Cultural contracts abound, however subtle and unspoken they may be.
|
|
Canadian television is all but controlled by the US; even Canadian stations
|
|
are inundated with American product; our press is filled with American news
|
|
while our radios play American music. This influence is impossible to
|
|
escape from, and most do not bother trying.
