Tim Hortons is one of the few Canadian companies that operates internationally, which also has more than 50 years of history.

Those commercials are very interesting and very well made when it comes to the ideas behind them. I think the first Tim Horton’s commercial about the family and hockey, and the commercial about the beer fridge that only opened to Canadians had the best concepts. Now after observing all of them, there were some pretty clear concepts left in my head about what I think Canadians are like; well based on commercials only. Starting with the first commercial it heavily portrayed that Canadians are proud of their country and where they come from. It also seemed to make a small joke because it listed off everything that is majorly popular in Canada. As an American, I didn't know some of these things yet after watching that commercial I had some elementary
Economics is the study of how goods and services are produced, distributed and sold to consumers. It is a social science that affects every human living on earth, however, many people are not aware of the different economic concepts and how they influence the community they live in. The Canadian economy is in a constant state of fluctuation that can be impacted by multiple factors. The different economic concepts allow us to properly evaluate purchasing decisions and why prices or policies are presented as they are. There are two main levels of economics that each impact the nation’s economy in their own way. Macroeconomics is the level of economics that deals with the large-scale factors that influence the nation, such as financial interest rates and government policies. In contrast, microeconomics is the level of economics that deals with small-scale factors that relate to individual or business decisions, relating to supply and demand, and how they influence the economy. Without reading the newspaper, many Canadians are unaware of these economic factors and do not realize the consequences each factor can have on the country. There are economic events occurring daily across Canada, which would allow citizens to properly understand how their decisions are affecting the community around

Following a period of severe and prolonged recession, the Malaysian economy has returned to growth aided by a relaxation of monetary and fiscal policies and by increased export demand, particularly in the electronics sector. While the world economic slowdown was more severe than expected and the unprecedented September 11 events in the United States had widespread implications for all economies, Malaysia was able to steer away from a major economic contraction and GDP growth for the year remained in positive territory. However, given the openness of its economy with trade accounting for about 200 percent of GDP, Malaysia was not spared from the negative effects of the United States economic slowdown. These effects came in the form of declining manufacturing production and negative export growth, particularly of electronics. Nevertheless, the government’s initiation of strong monetary and fiscal policies to stimulate economic growth through accelerating domestic economic activities and reducing the over-dependence on exports helped the nation to sustain a positive real GDP growth.
