The cabinet minister was killed Vancouver 1985: a bomb planted in Vancouver on an Air India flight exploded off the coast of Ireland killing 329. Sikh extremists claimed responsiblility

Economic Globalization Some companies expanded (Bombardier, McCain & software producers found new global markets) Difficult to keep costs of production low Some reorganized & merged to become larger (CNR tried to capture US markets) Companies became more cost-efficient (downsized…) Government sent trade missions to look for new markets

Economic Aspect Trade Agreements Canada signed the North-American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) –Trade with the US increased; US investment in Canada increased; limits effect of global recessions –Some Canadian companies moved to the US or were sold to US Co.; Canadian jobs were lost; recession Trade expanded with other countries (Israel, Chile & Costa Rica)

Economic Globalization Cons Cultural identities are lost Some corporation so large beyond control of smaller governments Benefits developed world more than developing world Transnational Co. cause insecurity Pros Wide range of products at affordable prices Increased trade = wealth, more jobs Stimulates growth of developing countries Makes sharing new technology fast and fair

Cultural Globalization 95% of information comes from huge privately owned companies Shape public opinion (balanced, sensational, point of view) U.S. popular culture People spend many hours watching U.S. TV programming People wear clothing with U.S. images (sports, shows, music) Young people are targeted by U.S. advertisers Canadians have made efforts to protect Canadian culture and identity Hollywood North U.S. films & TV made in Vancouver, Toronto, etc. (Halifax) Attracted by lower costs, experienced production teams & abundance of locations (“doctored”)

Cultural Globalization Environment Deforestation Ozone-layer deteriorations (Montreal Protocol) Global warming (more icebergs, rising sea level, melting glaciers, warmer temperatures, permafrost melting, higher avg. water temp…) Inuit face changes to their environment & way of life due to increased temperatures Seals are disappearing (due to freezing & thawing) Polar bears may become endangered Canada & the U.S. cooperate to monitor and limit pollution Canada signed Kyoto Protocol (Dec. 2002)
