  Economic history of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The study of economic history in Canada became highly focused on economic geography, and for many years the dominant school of thought has been the Staples Thesis.
The early European history of the Canadian economy is usually studied through the Staples Thesis which argues the Canadian economy developed through the exploitation of a series of staples that would be exported to Europe.
The government of Upper Canada was all but bankrupted by these projects, and this was an important factor in the merging of Upper Canada with the still solvent Lower Canada into one colony in 1840 (see Act of Union (1840)).

The economic strains of emergent dualism were amplified by the slowing down of technological progress in the agricultural sector, which had exhaustively reaped the benefits due to regional diffusion from the Southwest to the Northeast of best practice Tokugawa rice cultivation.
In short, from a domestic point of view, the social capability for importing and adapting foreign technology was improved with the reforms in education and the fillip to competition given by the dissolution of the zaibatsu.
A fourth group suggests that infrastructure has been important to economic growth and industrial expansion in Japan, as exemplified by the figures on electricity generating capacity and the mass diffusion of communications in the form of radio and television broadcasting.

 Auto Pact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because of tariffs only three percent of vehicles sold in Canada were made in the United States, but most of the parts were manufactured in the U.S. and overall Canada was in a large trade deficit with the States in the automobile sector.
In 1964, only seven percent of vehicles made in Canada were sent south of the border, but, by 1968, this was sixty percent.
The agreement also prevents Canada from pursuing free trade in automobiles with other nations, such as Japan.

 EH.Net Encyclopedia: Economic History of Weather Forecasting
An important economic history question is whether or not it was necessary for the United States Federal Government to found a weather forecasting organization.
There are two challenges in answering that question: establishing that the weather information was socially valuable and determining if private organizations were incapable of providing the appropriate level of services.
Such a measure of accuracy is incomplete, however, as it can always be raised artificially by not forecasting storms under marginal conditions, even though such a strategy might diminish the value of the service.

 Canadian Studies: A Guide to the Sources
Canada was the idealist's end of Empire -- a people united in reconciliation, a colony emancipated, a wilderness civilized, the principles of parliamentary democracy transferred in triumphant vindication from an ancient capital to a new.
The Native peoples of Canada have a diverse heritage which is gaining popular and scholarly profile, particularly with the creation of the new territory of Nunavut ("our land"), the launching of the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), and the establishment of the First Nations University of Canada (see also the Aboriginal Canada Portal).
However, lacklustre government support of the Canada Council and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (which help support the arts, as well as much scholarly research and publishing), the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and numerous other agencies is jeopardizing the viability of many long-established, cultural programmes in Canada.
