The assistance that the war veterans receive in Canada today is considered one of the best in the world. With assistance programs that provide support to the veterans in the form of attentive health care, health insurance, health related travel expenses, assisted living, career training, rehabilitation, financial benefits, and much more. But, this wasn’t always the case with the Veterans Assistance Commission in Canada. Very little was done prior to WW1, for the war veterans. Even though much difference was promised and greater commitments were made by the Canadian government during and after the First World War, it still was not nearly enough. Pensions were denied to deserving candidates, assistance was provided to many in a form that was nowhere near enough to start a new life, and because of the great depression it was even harder for the veterans to make a living.

Peacekeeping has played a significant role in defining and shaping the country that Canada is today. Canada’s role used to be viewed by many as insufficient in the major issues which regarded the traditional powers of the world. Later on Canada began to establish some forms of credibility as they were fighting for a common good of the world’s nations and not just their allies. Recently since the year 1995 the role that Canada plays in the united nations peacekeeping efforts has significantly dropped, a large part of this was as a result of UN military missions through NATO as opposed to strictly just the UN. Due to this the role that this country has played in peacekeeping missions has decreased significantly compared to what it used to be.

This is to address speed difference between two devices, if a file is received from a slow device to be transferred to a faster device (Hard disk), a buffer is created to to gather bytes received from the slower device, when the buffer is full it can then be transferred to the disk in a single operation. However, if the buffer is full and the slow device still needs to transfer additional data, a second buffer is created to accommodate the data. After the first buffer has been filled a disk write is requested, the slow device fills the second buffer while the first buffer is written into the disk. When the second buffer

1: The freedoms guaranteed by the fourth amendment are the most vulnerable to ethics violations in responses to terrorism. In fact they have already been threatened with the Patriot Act(Beau), NSA wiretapping(Sage), and the Freedom Act(Destiny). All of these acts have seen the United States Government be able to search through someone’s history without a warrant. The 4th Amendment States, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated”, and that “no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause”. This clear violation of the fourth amendment put Americans rights at risk. It may have seemed right at the time, but looking back we cannot watch everyone just to catch a few people who are doing the wrong thing.

The reformation of the Charity Organizations didn’t grant relief themselves however they served as a resource to simplify the transaction of relief to relief applicants by: maintaining relief applicant requests, records of the aid given to them, and referring those worthy or unworthy to the proper agencies (Trattner, 1999). Their goal was to eradicate fraud and duplicity of services while also maintaining efficiency and treating poverty. The charity organization movement intended to treat poverty by enacting “friendly visitors” to look into each case and define the cause of destitution while also watching for overlapping relief. These “friendly visitors” and their investigations were the cornerstone of the Charity Organization Society’s (C.O.S) treatment; granting aid without investigation was like giving medicine without diagnosis (Trattner, 1999).
