Nothing wrong in lobbying for TPP
This piece of news sparked vibrant conversations in some circles of community pundits and leaders. They were uncomfortable with a notion that the government needs to employ lobbying practices or hire professional lobbyists in order to get its message across. Others, however, were more concerned with Canada’s supply management in dairy and poultry industries and how Canada’s participation in the TTP will affect dairy and poultry industries in Ontario, Canada. They claim that it could raise prices of milk and eggs for ordinary Canadians. Yet others suggested that this represents a loss on behalf of lobbyists, who represent dairy and poultry industries in Ontario, for they have failed to forewarn the government of its dislike of the TPP.

Labour Barriers in Canada: Research Paper by YPSWA
In Canada, Employment Equity (EE) was designed to overcome and remedy barriers that certain groups systematically face in the Canadian labour market. These groups usually are Aboriginals, women, minorities and disabled persons. Given that each group is unique with its own history and needs, it is hard to design an all-inclusive EE approach for all of them at the same. Therefore, EE is a complex set of policies that may include variety of things, like child care, abolition of unreasonable employment requirements, numerical targets and so on (Charlton, 1994 & Abu-Laban, 2002). Issues related to EE are inherently related to social justice and social rights (Abu-Laban, 2002). It is argued that if justice is to be served, employment disparities must be remedied through the introduction of EE (Charlton, 1994). But as research shows, EE produced meager results, is highly misunderstood by the public and is still unable to overcome labour phenomena of “glass ceiling” and “sticky floor”. Continue reading
