Gaines v. Canada

Examples of Gaines v. Canada in the following topics:

• Court Decisions and Civil Rights

  • The Murray v.
  • The Murray v.
  • Gaines v.
  • Canada, with similar results.
  • In Williams v.

• Extraordinary Gains and Losses

  • Extra gains or losses are nonrecurring, onetime, unusual, non-operating gains or losses that are recorded by a business during the period.
  • It is notable that a natural disaster might not qualify depending on location (e.g., frost damage would not qualify in Canada but would in the tropics).
  • Extra gains or losses are the result of unforeseen and atypical events.
  • Net income is reported before and after these gains and losses.
  • Examples of extraordinary items are casualty losses, losses from expropriation of assets by a foreign government, gain on life insurance, gain or loss on the early extinguishment of debt, gain on troubled debt restructuring, and write-off of an intangible asset.

• Tax-Supported Art

  • In the USA and Canada, grants are available to fund artistic projects in all media, including drawing, painting, sculpture, theater, music, dance, new media, and interdisciplinary art forms.
  • In Canada, the Canada Council for the Arts funds the projects of artists in much the same way as the NEA, but allots more funding to the arts based on population.
  • Established in 1957, the Canada Council awards an average of $120.5 million in grants and awards annually.
  • In addition to the Canada Council, the provincial and municipal branches of the Canadian government also award grants to artists and arts organizations for a variety of arts-based projects and activities.
  • The grant application typically entails submitting a project proposal in relationship to one's artistic practice, as well as a detailed budget, timeline, and curriculum vitae (c.v.).

• Short-term gains, long-term pain

  • For example, MacMillan Bloedel, one of Canada's largest forest product companies, was labelled a serial forest-clearer and a chronic chlorine user by environmental activists and subsequently lost 5% of its sales almost overnight when it was dropped as a UK supplier by Scott Paper and Kimberley Clark.

• Ohm's Law

  • Solution Rearranging I=V/R and substituting known values gives $R=\frac{V}{I}=\frac{12 \ V}{2.5 \ A}=4.8 \ \Omega$.
  • The unit for resistance is the ohm where 1Ω = 1 V/A.
  • Additional insight is gained by solving I=V/R for V, yielding V=IR.
  • In a true ohmic device, the same value of resistance will be calculated from R = V/I regardless of the value of the applied voltage V.
  • If voltage is forced to some value V, then that voltage V divided by measured current I will equal R.

• Adiabatic Processes

  • An adiabatic process is any process occurring without gain or loss of heat within a system.
  • Again, P = nRT / V applies and with T being constant (as this is an isothermal process), we have

• New France and Louisiana

  • New France, colonized by France in the 16th century, included the colonies of Canada, Acadia, Hudson Bay, Newfoundland, and Louisiana.
  • The territory was then divided into five colonies, each with its own administration: Canada, Acadia, Hudson Bay, Newfoundland (Plaisance), and Louisiana.
  • Although the fur trade was lucrative, many French saw Canada as an inhospitable frozen wasteland, and by 1640, fewer than 400 settlers had made their home there.
  • Britain received the lands east of the Mississippi River, including Canada, Acadia, and parts of Louisiana, while Spain received the territory to the west—the larger portion of Louisiana.
  • This map illustrates the British and Spanish territorial gains following the Treaty of Paris that ended the French and Indian War.

• Origin of Pressure

  • We can gain a better understanding of pressure (and temperature as well) from the kinetic theory of gases, which assumes that atoms and molecules are in continuous random motion.
  • This gives $\overline{v_x^2} = \overline{v^2}/3$.
  • We can rewrite the force as $F=\frac{Nm\overline{v^2}}{3L}$.
  • where V=L3 is the volume of the box.
  • The fraction n=N/V is the number density of the gas.

• The Loop Rule

  • Given that voltage is a measurement of energy per unit charge, Kirchhoff's loop rule is based on the law of conservation of energy, which states: the total energy gained per unit charge must equal the amount of energy lost per unit of charge.
  • The emf supplies 18 V, which is reduced to zero by the resistances, with 1 V across the internal resistance, and 12 V and 5 V across the two load resistances, for a total of 18 V.
  • (a) In this standard schematic of a simple series circuit, the emf supplies 18 V, which is reduced to zero by the resistances, with 1 V across the internal resistance, and 12 V and 5 V across the two load resistances, for a total of 18 V.

• The British Strategy

  • The number of British regular troops present in Canada in July 1812 was officially stated to be 6,034, supported by Canadian militia.
  • The naturally cautious Prevost followed these instructions, concentrating on defending Lower Canada at the expense of Upper Canada, which was more vulnerable to American attacks, and allowing few offensive actions.
  • Several months later, the U.S. launched a second invasion of Canada against the Niagara peninsula.
  • Neither side had a reason to continue or a chance of gaining a decisive success that would compel their opponents to cede territory or advantageous peace terms.
  • The war fostered a spirit of national unity and an "Era of Good Feelings" in the U.S. and in Canada.
