They also seem to have economic success similar to the United States, and I was interested in seeing how they actually compare when looking at their unemployment rate and inflation.

The Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation, run by general manager John Meek, aims to improve the efficiency and profitability of dairy farming through an accurate, rapid, and cost effective milk testing service.

A country analysis project must be analyzed in the context of its political, legal, economic, social, and cultural environments-the investment climate of the target country. Although sensitivity to particular factors varies from one project to another, all analyses are subject to the influence of some set of specific factors. Therefore a firm should raise three questions about a country's investment climate: (1) How the investment climate will be critical to the success of the project? (2) What is the present value of these critical issues? (3) How are these issues likely to change over the investment planning period? In making domestic investment decisions, firms should pay much attention to the relative

Canada 's dairy sector operates under a supply management system based on planned domestic production, supervised pricing and strict controls on dairy product imports. The system was adopted for industrial milk in the early 1970s to address the unstable prices, uncertain supplies and fluctuating producers and processor revenues which were common in the 1950s and 1960s. By enforcing this system, farmers attempt to strike the most accurate balance between supply and demand of dairy products (Canadian Dairy Commission, 2010).
In the 2000s Scientology has exploded into a more widely known; and widely made fun of religion. Scientology is still a contested religion. Scientology as a religion has not changed their view on psychology; if anything Scientology has become more extreme in their view on medicine of the mind.

It is only when these three requirements are fulfilled will the international community consider their claim for a nation (Hobsbawm, 1990: 37).

This essay will try to list out the different approaches employed in defining a nation starting from a nation being a natural cultural entity to it being politically and
