The Use of Promissory Estoppel as a Shield and not a Sword: Canadian Cases and Arguments
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the concept of promissory estoppel as a shield and not a sword in consideration of Canadian legal cases. Promissory estoppel is a legal term based upon a principle where someone who has relied upon a gratuitous promise may be able to enforce it and based on one definition by the Legal Information Institute is stated as “the doctrine allowing recovery on a promise made without consideration when the reliance on the promise was reasonable, and the promise relied to his or her detriment”. Promissory estoppel is used as a defensive action and because of this is considered best used as a “shield” and not as a “sword” from a legal standpoint. Using Canadian cases which have utilized the promissory estoppel tool, defensively it is much easier implemented and easier to realize when a case fulfills the requirements for promissory estoppel. Cases which have attempted to use promissory estoppel as a “sword” have been less successful because often vital elements necessary for the fulfillment of promissory estoppel are not met such as agreement of action, equity, unambiguous consensus and consideration.

[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the zinc industry in New Brunswick, Canada. Tutorial language is inserted throughout in square brackets to aid in writing process for customer. The zinc industry in New Brunswick, Canada is the largest in the world by volume and is part of the larger mining and mineral production industry which contributes over $790 million annually to the province. The Brunswick mine, near Bathurst, is owned and operated by Noranda and is the largest producer of zinc and lead concentrate. Despite the fact that a mine’s average life span is approximately 10 years, Noranda and the province have dedicated funding for additional exploration in addition to Noranda constantly improving their production processes to increase their zinc yield (currently at 32% of the total Canadian reserves). This investment and dedication of the province as well as the private corporation of Noranda should continue to keep New Brunswick as a major producer in the zinc industry with an initial estimation of an increase in revenue expected at 6% for the year 2003 alone.

Traditional vs. Subsistence Hunting
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper: The current era is one that is greatly concerned with "political correctness." Within the framework, interests vie for attention. While it is acknowledged that indigenous people should have a political voice and respect for their customs and culture, their interests vie with those of animal rights movements, environmental movements, and developmental concerns. Anthropologist Jens Dahl points out that the designations, such as industrialized or commercial fishing, or traditional hunting or subsistence-based fishing and hunting, are arbitrary distinctions that are "dictated and formulated by European states and Animal Rights Movements" (Dahl 24). This examination of this topic explores why Dahl distinguishes between traditional hunting activities and subsistence and the relevance of this distinction to Eskimo societies.
