The TPP could cut the jobs of UFCW Canada members, by giving foreign poultry and dairy producers an even bigger share of the Canadian marketplace.
Corporations in TPP-member countries could sue democratically-elected governments, such as Canada, in a system that is separate from national courts.
The TPP could lead to as many as 20,000 jobs lost in the auto sector by eliminating incentives for companies to manufacture vehicles in Canada, while increasing incentives for companies to source auto parts from low-wage countries.
The TPP would magnify the worse aspects of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program by prohibiting Canada from imposing any limit on the number of foreign workers entitled to enter the country, and might allow employers to pay them less than the going rate for Canadian workers.
The TPP could also cause higher prescription drug costs by giving more monopoly patent protection to drug companies than they currently have – cutting down access to cheaper, generic versions of drugs.
Why was the TPP "A bad deal" for Canadians?
What was the Result?
To this day there hasn't really been a result in terms of one side winning the cold war (forever). I say forever because there was one win for Democratic leaders, that was when the Berlin Wall Came down to free East Germany from Soviet control.

Why was it influenced?!
In 1946 (after world war 2 had), there was a new growing threat of communist ideals from the East of the world (USSR and nations under it's control), which the western world didn't support. That was the starting of the cold war, the arms race between communists and Democrats and their believes (it was where actually no combat happened, but it was just about who can make weapons and armored vehicles). Near to the end of that decade, Soviet Union had made significant progress and all the western leaders were ready to mount themselves for an attack of large scale. To take precautions and not make the same mistakes that they made in the past (WW2), some leaders of the western world got together and proposed a treaty. The Treaty was called the Washington treaty, formally known as the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). NATO had one goal at that time, it was as if one of the membering nations were to get attacked by Soviet Union, all the other nation would jump in and support it with the help of NATO.
Time Line of events that occurred!
1949
1989
November 8, 1989 was the day that the Berlin Wall came down to end years of differentiation between east and west germany.
1991
NATO begins to partner with nations that were in Soviet control (after the USSR falls).
1995
NATO engages in its first major crisis-management operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
2001
Large-scale terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C.
NATO invokes Article 5 for the first time ever and adopts a broader approach to security
2003
NATO takes command of the International Security Assistance Force - ISAF - in Afghanistan
2010
NATO adopts the 2010 Strategic Concept "Active Engagement, Modern Defence"
On April 4 1949, the signing of the Washington treaty was done in Washington, United states. This marked the first huge alliance consisting of all powerful nations as members at that time. The nations feared an attack from USSR (Russia), and didn't want another world war to occur. So to stop that from happening, 12 national (democratic) leaders joined and signed this treaty. The treaty was a friendly type, meaning that if any one membered nation were to get an attack from the Soviet Union, all other members would help out and fend off the enemy quickly (Not wanting to commit the same mistake that they made before and during WW2).
Secretary General!
What is NATO?!
The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (also known as NATO) is a world organisation that promotes and encourages consultation and cooperation on defence and security issues to build trust and, in the long run, prevent conflict. NATO is committed to the peaceful resolution of disputes. If diplomatic efforts fail, it has the military capacity needed to undertake crisis-management operations (These are carried out under Article 5 of the Washington Treaty - NATO’s founding treaty - or under a UN mandate, alone or in cooperation with other countries and international organizations). NATO’s essential purpose is to safeguard the freedom and security of its members through political and military means.

Peacekeeping in Canada
Peacekeeping in Canada began in 1956
The Suez crisis was resolved on November 7th 1956
Where it began
Peacekeeping originally began in 1956 to send troops to the middle east to respond to the Suez Crisis
The key players in peacekeeping are, Lester Pearson and Mike Pearson. Lester was the person who came up with the idea to start a peacekeeping organization and Mike at the time was the Canadian prime minister originally suggested to send in troops to keep the peace.
Peacekeeping in Canada began in the 1950's when Lester Pearson, who was Canada's ambassador for the UN suggested that the UN should start a peacekeeping organization
The United Nations - Tanish Wadhwa
Important Dates
December 10th, 1948 is the day that the United Nations made and signed the declaration of human rights.
October 24th, 1945 is the day that the United Nations was founded in New York, United States of America.
Causes of The UN
This brought the attention to many political leaders causing the formation of the United Nations on October 24th, 1945 ( right after the war ended).
During World War 2 there was a lot of violence going throughout many countries which was mainly caused between the fight between the allied and axis power.
Resolutions
This violence was then holded as off the declaration that was signed between multiple countries in the allied power to fight together against the axis power.
This led to peace after the war which revealed many citizens across the world that were in countries that were apart of the United Nations.
Where It Took Place
The United Nations officially came into existence on 24 October 1945 in New York, United States when the Charter had been approved by China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and by a majority of other signatories.
Franklin. D Roosevelt ( the current president of the United States of America at that time) had a huge impact on the creation of the UN.
When It Took Place
The United Nations was founded on October 24,1945 in New York, United States around a month after World War 2 had ended which was September 2nd, 1945.
The permanent members of the UN also known as the Permanent Five or Big Five are the main countries of the UN who are…
United States
United Kingdom
France
Russia
China
There are many other countries as well that also contribute to the UN but these are the main five countries. The current Secretary-General of the UN, and the eighth occupant of the post, is Mr. Ban Kimoon of the Republic of Korea, who took office on 1 January 2007.
The Key player involved with the United Nations right now is Peter Thompson who has been the elected president of the United Nations since 2016.
About The UN
My topic that I have chosen is the UN ( also known as the United Nations). The UN is an international organisation that was founded around a month after World War Two (1945) containing nearly every country in the world. It currently has over 193 members and had around 51 at the starting of the UN.
Foreign aid
Why is foreign aid needed?
When foreign aid was first introduced, it was merely so countries like France and Britain could make sure their colonies was being taken care of, as it was part of their own country.
However, as when the countries became independent, foreign aid became a way to help a poorer, less developed country become more stable and self sufficient from other countries. Foreign aid is also a good way to build relations.
Causes of foreign aid
Foreign aid had existed for a long period of time, as early as the 19th century, and began to notably increase during the 1920s and 1930s when powerful European countries began sending help to their various colonies.
Foreign aid as it was known today was at first caused by the Cold War. The war was between USA and the Soviet Union; as such countries then began to choose on which side to support. The poorer countries received military and economic aid; such is the case of Korea. North Korea was with Russia and China while South Korea was with USA. Due to this, the subsequent sides of Korea began to receive support and aid from Russia and America respectfully.
Who are some key players?
Canada provides foreign aid across the globe to whoever requires it, if the country Canada is providing aid to align with Canada’s common interests. As of 2015, the countries that Canada gave the most money follow:
- Afghanistan
- Ethiopia
- Tanzania
- Pakistan
- Mali
Some of the biggest contributors to foreign aid around the world are more commonly found in North America and Europe. Canada is among the leading donors, as well USA, Britain, France, U.A.E, Sweden and more. These are well developed countries that have given billions of dollars worth of resources in the form of military, health and support.
What is foreign aid?
The topic I have chosen is foreign aid, which means some sort of resource that is beneficial, such as money or food given from one country to another. In this regard, Canada is the one providing aid toward countries requiring the resources, due to Canada being a developed country.
Main topic
TPP (Trans-Pacfic Partnership)
How was the issues TPP created resolved?
It was stopped by thousands of diverse organizations representing corporate interests involved in years of closed doors regotiations while the public, press and congress were locked out. At the heart of the TPP were new rights for thousands of corporations to sue the US. government. (Dealing with lawyers and more law related issues arise...)
How was TPPs aspect caused?
It was caused because numerous nations asgreed to having an official agreement that provided the following 5 defining key features: Comprehensive market access, regional approach to commitments, adressing new trade challenges, inclusive trade, and finally platforming for regional integration. (many of the points listed here were not as expected to the general public.)
Why did the TPP take place?
The TPP began as an expansion of the trans-pacific strategic
economic partnership agreement signed by Brunei, Chile, New Zealand, and Singapore in 2005. Beginning in 2008, additional countries joined the discussion for a brrder agreement; Australia, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, United States, and Veitnam.
When did the TPP take place?
The TPP was drafted on the 5'th of August 2015. It was
only just recently signed on the 9'th of February 2016 after a good 7 years of debates and negotiation. It is currently awaiting ratification.
Who are the specific people?
Speaking in respect to TPP there are numerous individuals involved, so I will be refering to people in the context of countries. The specific countries involved in the TPP include Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, United States of America, and Vietnam.
What is the TPP?
My specific topic is about the TPP or the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The TPP is argued to create a free-trade zone among 12 nations around the pacific, making it the world's largest trades agreement. The countries within its scope account for 40% of the worlds economic output, and with regards to Canada specificly, our relationship would be more prominant with our American neighbours.
Kyoto Accord/Protocol
Canada had unfortunately
ratified the treaty do to
multiple reasons and people
U.S.A
U.S.A had ratified the
treaty a year prior and
there influence on
Canada would so make
them follow
Stephen Harper
(Canadian Prime Minister)
Despite multiple petitions
and protest Harper refused
to rejoin the accord believing
it wouldn't work
However, Harper agreed to
sign the Copenhagen accord which
re-entered Canada in the accord.
On the term that the treaty was non
binding and there would be no fee if
the target wasn't met
Peter Kent (Canada's
environmental minister)
says Canada won't join
the second period of the
Kyoto accord saying
Canada won't make the
target and failing would
lead to billions of fees.
Oil Coperations
Oil corporations fearing
to lose money made
several campaigns to
have Canada drop out
of the accord
Jean Chrétien
(Canadian prime Minister)
The biggest factor for why
Canada dropped out was that
Prime minister Jean announced
he would only be in office for 18
months
This led Liberal MP John
Godfrey to make a petition
to ratify the accord which
was signed by 97 others MPs
Key Players
United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate change
The UNFCCC was the organization
that created the treaty and without them
it wouldn't exist today
What is the Kyoto Accord
The Kyoto Accord is a treaty created by the United Nation
Framework Convention on Climate Change. The treaties purpose is to make countries reduce the amount of greenhouse gases each country produces to stop global warming
Causes of Kyoto Accord
It was confirmed
that climate change
is real and that it's
man-made. There
conclusion was that
every country had to
lower there Carbon
emission
Dangers of global warming
and greenhouse gases
Greenhouse gases entering
the atmosphere will destroy
the ozone layer
The ozone layer protects
Earth from the suns extreme
heat and Ultra Violet Radiation
without it everything the sun
touches will be burnt to a crisp
or get skin cancer
The biggest threat
that global warming
poses on earth is the
ice caps melting
It will also lead
to millions of
animals dying
causing mass
extinction and
massive food
shortage.
The ice caps melting
would lead to higher
sea levels causing
several countries to
be submerged under
water leading to the
death of millions
