As reported in the Canadian Encyclopedia, Starting in the early 16thh century, it was the rich supply of cod fish, which attracted fisherman to the areas off the coast of Newfoundland, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.  But the development of the country resulted from the nearly 250 years, from the early 17th  to the mid-19th century, of the fur trade, which was a vast commercial enterprise across Canada.  Competition for beaver pelts opened Canada to exploration and settlement, it finances missionary work, established social, economic and colonial relationships between European and indigenous peoples.

According to the Canadian Wildlife Federation, preserving the freshwater of the Great lakes, which contain 20% of the worlds supply of fresh water, is a major goal.  It provides about 25 % of Canadians and 10% of  North Americans, 33 million people directly with their drinking water.  

Cultural Mosaic, as defined by the Oxford reference, was coined from John Murray Gibbon's 1938 book.  It differs from the USA's Melting Pot approach to Immigrant assimilation, in that, it encourages each individual cultural group to retain its distinct identity, and language, while still contributing to the nation as a whole.  It has become a part of Canadian multiculturalism policy in the 1970's.  

According to Statistics Canada, the largest number of First Nation people lived in Ontario, and the western provinces, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the British Territories.

in the united states, the president is controlled by the

constitution, and in all respects subordinate to it. insofar

as it deals with presidential power, however, the american

constitution has proved to be a highly malleable document.

with very few exceptions,' the constitutional provisions relating to the president have not been changed at all since

they were ratified in 1787. but in the late twentieth century, those provisions do not mean what they meant in

1787. the constitution is a legal document, and it is enforced judicially; but its meaning was hardly fixed when it

was ratified. in particular, the contemporary president has

far broader powers than the original constitution contemplated. it is remarkable but true that large-scale changes in

the authority of the president have been brought about

without changes in the constitutional text, but nevertheless

without significant illegality.

this is a paradox. is it not clear that constitutional

changes, if not textual, are illegal? the paradox has considerable relevance to our current thinking about the presidency in particular and about constitutionalism in general.

perhaps the framers of the american constitution feared

legislative power most of all; 2 but from well-known events

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
