Canada-The Land of Profit and Expansion
If you are looking for opportunity, incentive, professionalism, growth, profit, and educationally sound workers then Canada is the place in which you should bring your business. Canada, established by British and French colonists, became an independent domain in 1867. Located in North America, this territory is the second largest country in the world, and the largest county that borders only one country (The World Factbook, 2016). Currently Canada has a population of approximately 35 million people who predominately speak English, but speak French as well. The Canadian dollar, or the Loonie as it called is Canada’s primary currency. Currently this currency is worth $.76 when compared to a United States

Punctuality is one of the most critical factors of conducting business in this country. Other highly regarded business etiquette factors are the exchange of business cards, being well organized, and being straight forward and honest. Catchphrases, million dollar terminologies, and buzz words are frowned upon. Upon entering the business world in Canada there are several things one should be well aware of before conducting business meetings. Punctuality is a must when conducting business in Canada. If you are going to be late it is customary that you call to give notice of your tardiness, and also give the estimated time of your arrival. When giving an approximate time of arrival, be as honest as possible. It is frowned upon if a person says he will arrive in ten minutes and his arrival time is actually 45 minutes later (Business Etiquette in Canada, 2015). As in the United States, a handshake is the most common greeting upon entering and exiting the room. The handshake should be firm and direct eye contact should be made. Oftentimes, business relationships are more reserved until both parties are more comfortable with each other. After the initial introduction, business cards are exchanged (Canada-Language, Culture, Customs, and Etiquette, 2016).

The Women’s Entrepreneurship Initiative was launched in the Western provinces of Canada in 1995 (Gender, disadvantage and enterprise support - lessons from women's business centres in North America and Europe, 2013). This initiative is designed to fill service gaps, mainly at the start-up stage, and also helps develop existing businesses ran by women. The WEI also supports those business owners who may have trouble obtaining financing. The Canadian WEI centers also take pride in lending money directly to these female ran companies instead of encouraging outside financing. Due to funding mostly high-risk, no collateral clients, these loans tend to be relatively small, averaging C$25,000-C$30,000, $19,000-$24,000 in United States currency (Gender, disadvantage and enterprise support - lessons from women's business centres in North America and Europe, 2013). For those more established or larger companies, the WEI tends to enter into
The Wawa Food Market chain is a privately held company that offers built-to-order foods, beverages, coffee, fuel services, and surcharge-fee ATMs. We feel that the Canadian economy as well as the Canadian citizens would benefit in more ways than one from these openings. Canada’s middle class is the richest among other big nations. Since 2000, median income in Canada has grown 19.7%, compared to the 0.3% growth in the United States. Since Canada has taken aggressive steps to raise their citizens’ take-home pay, they need to spend that extra earned income to keep the economy flowing in a positive direction.
Every country in the world has its own cultural uniqueness. What makes Canada even more unique than other countries is the fact that it is a melting-pot of many other cultures. What happened when all these cultures came together and started having contact with each other is that each culture proved itself exclusive but somewhat compatible with the other cultures. That may have caused people of different ethnic groups not to bond in such successful ways; nevertheless there still exists a strong attachment between an individual and their roots. That fusion and unity of the different cultures in this country makes its economy unique.
At first, the outdated view of Canada has to be changed in the international business community. Worldwide, they should publish and do some institutional advertising about all the updated news of Canada. They can also do some testimonial in term of telling all the benefit of investing money in Canada.

Therefore, after knowing the opportunity of all the benefits, they might be curious to invest in near future.
In the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the United States expanded its territory by going overseas. They acquired many islands in an attempt to expand their influence upon the world. This oversea expansion, however, was met with split opinions on the matter. The views upon overseas expansion were divided due to conflicting opinions upon the social impact, anti European imperialism, and the desire to become a factor in world politics.
Over the past few years, Canada's economy has done comparatively well and has demonstrated some resilience to the fluctuating global economy. However, Canada remains to be relatively less competitive with respect to other developed countries. In this paper I will attempt to take a closer look at Canada's position in the global economy today and examine the relevant issues.
During the last couple years, the Canadian economy has been transformed from on based primarily on agricultural production and the export of agricultural products and raw materials to one based primarily on its manufacturing and service sectors, as well as a mining sector of continuing importance.

Trifles of the Wild West Trifles is a modern portrayal of scandal and deceit within a relationship that has taken place in the past, is present today and will continue to the future. Because of my passion for the days of the Wild West and the stories of violent shootings and hangings in the street, I decided that this setting would be perfect to present this story. My overall controlling vision to produce trifles is to westernize it and in the paragraphs that follow I will explain how I would do that. To set the stage for Trifle of the Wild West, I would choose an old farm-house on the prairie.

Quora Business Expansion Quora has users all over the globe, and is changing the way people share knowledge. As Adam D’Angelo put it, “Quora aims to allow anyone to easily share their knowledge and in the process to dramatically increase the total amount of knowledge available to the world”.
