As a set of healing practices delivered in a context shaped by health delivery systems and the attitudes and values of consumers, practitioners, and researchers, counseling and psychotherapy must be examined critically.

  • Wireless Competition in Canada: an Assessment
    Volume 6•Issue 27•September 2013 WIRELESS COMPETITION IN CANADA: AN ASSESSMENT Jeffrey Church † Professor, Department of Economics and Director, Digital Economy Program, The School of Public Policy, University of Calgary Andrew Wilkins † Research Associate, Digital Economy Program, The School of Public Policy, University of Calgary SUMMARY If there’s one thing Canadians agree on, it’s that Canada’s wireless industry can and should be more competitive. The federal government is on side with the policy objective of having four carriers in every region and has responded with policies that provide commercial advantages to entrants. But, the rub is that there has not been a study that actually assesses the state of competition in wireless services in Canada, until now. Those in favour of policies that will promote and sustain entry point to Canada’s high average revenue per user and low wireless penetration rate (mobile connections per capita) as evidence that there is insufficient competition. The difficulty is that the facts are not consistent with this simplistic analysis. Measurements of wireless penetration are skewed toward countries that maintain the Calling Party Pays Protocol and favour pay-as-you-go plans, both of which encourage inflated user counts. Canada’s participation per capita on monthly plans and minutes of voice per capita are not outliers. Moreover, in terms of smartphone adoption and smartphone data usage, Canada is a global leader, contributing to high average revenue per user. Consistent with being world leaders in the rollout of high speed wireless networks, Canada lead its peer group in capital expenditures per subscriber in 2012: the competition of importance to Canadians is not just over price, but also over the quality of wireless networks.

  • An Historical Analysis of Foreign Ownership Restrictions in the Canadian
    An Historical Analysis of Foreign Ownership Restrictions in the Canadian Telecommunications Sector Marsha Ann Tate ([email protected]) College of Communications The Pennsylvania State University Communications 581 Fall 2001 Semester Paper Dr. Taylor Foreign Ownership Restrictions in the Canadian Telecom Sector: M. A. Tate 2 Introduction In addition to a several thousand mile long border, Canada also shares a variety of cultural, economic, historical, sociological, and technological similarities with the United States. These numerous commonalties have helped foster close ties between the two countries. As the U.S. State Department's March 2000 Background Note: Canada attests: The bilateral relationship between the United States and Canada is perhaps the closest and most extensive in the world. It is reflected in the staggering volume of trade -- over $1.4 billion a day--and people--over 200 million a year--crossing the U.S.-Canadian border. Canada and the United States also share one of the world's largest bilateral direct investment relationships. Stock of U.S. direct investment in Canada was estimated at $116.7 billion, or about 72% of total foreign direct investment in Canada at the end of 1999. Conversely, Canada is the third-largest foreign investor in the United States with direct investments totaling approximately $90.4 billion at the end of 1999 (Background Note: Canada; U.S. Department of State, March 2000). Canada's multiple similarities to the United States coupled with large disparities in population and market size (Canada's market is approximately ten times smaller than its U.S. counterpart), have historically raised Canadian fears of cultural, economic, and political domination at the hands of its southern neighbor.
