In many respects the characteristics of the process of Armenian immigration to Canada have not been significantly different from that of other ethnic groups. Political persecutions, and socio-economic stresses are identified as the main reasons for Armenian emigration. One noticeable difference, however, is present. It pertains to the number of places of origin which exceeds twenty. This is expected for a nation with 50% of its members living in diapora (the other 50% resides in the Soviet Union, and specifically within the Armenian S.S.R.). The pattern of distribution, on the island of Montréal showing a definite « concentration », has been also identified in other ethnic studies such as Greeks, Albanians, etc. Social, cultural, and ethnic factors attempting to explain such patterns of concentration are applicable in the case of the Armenians.

During the renegotiation of NAFTA, the Canadian dairy sector was at the heart of the American demands. The Trump administration put a lot of pressure on Canada to guarantee better access to the Canadian market for American farmers. Faced with this pressure, Canada gave in on several points, further weakening its supply management system. In fact, the CUSMA provides for four new obligations essentially incumbent on Canada with respect to dairy products. It grants new market shares to U.S. milk producers (I), abolishes milk classes 6 and 7 (II), places a quantitative cap on Canadian exports of certain products around the world (III) and imposes considerable transparency obligations (IV). This article provides an analysis of these new obligations and their implications for Canadian dairy producers and processors.

The partitionist movements which developed at the time of the 1995 referendum and in the years which followed led to numerous intellectual and political debates concerning the borders of Québec and Canada in the case of secession. The future of Montreal in the eventuality of a vote favourable to Québec's sovereignty became an important issue. However, the origins of partitionism can be traced the era of the Lower Canadian Patriotes, when Upper- Canadian tory office holders expressed an interest in modifying the borders in such a way as to bring the island of Montreal under their control. In a campaign which led to reports and resolutions being adopted in the Assembly, Upper Canadian office holders found important allies in Montreal's tory circles, and particularly amongst the city's English merchants and financiers. The movement picked up speed in the mid-1830s, as the Montreal Constitutional Association, which had been established in the wake of the 92 Resolutions, promoted both Montreal's annexation to Upper Canada and the legislative union of the two provinces. Eventually, the imperial government undertook its own examination of the situation through the Gosford Comission which visited the colony in 1835-1836. After the armed uprisings of 1837, Montreal's fate was decided in the backrooms of the British parliament, where various political figures first sought to influence the content of the Durham report and later the drafting of imperial legislation on the Canadian question by Lord John Russell.

AbstractThe ftaa is not just a trade agreement but rather a framework for a new regional architecture combining free markets with democratic politics intended to heighten the level of security within the region. The prime consideration for Canada with respect to this new regional architecture is the creation of an orderly community in terms of both economics and politics. The purpose of the ftaa for Canada, it will be argued herein, is to help construct a community of the Americas, what Prime Minister Jean Chretien has referred to as ‘una gran familia'.
