Document Summary

1) upswing in nationalism, deeply infused with imperialism and jingoism. 2) canadians cannot find common ground around this form of national identity and it polarizes them. 4) lessons learned point to new trajectories after wwii: new continental outlook, new middle-power diplomacy, new statism. Upswing in nationalism in late 19th century canada. Heavily infused with british imperialism and jingoism: we don"t want to fight but by jingo if we do, we"ve got the ships, we"ve got the men, we"ve got the money too. Canada as home to a new british race and one possibly more vital than the old one. But if french canadians like the british constitution, they don"t like the jingoism or the ethnic boasting. Growing political tensions through the 1880s and 1890s over just how britis and how protestant canada is or should be. Lots of anxiety about the ethnic groups that seem to be watering down. Britishness especially in western canada and re quebec.

Worcester Tool Company is a large, U.S.-based, multinational corporation with subsidiaries in eight different countries. The parent of Worcester provided an initial cash infusion to establish each subsidiary. Each subsidiary, however, has had to finance its own growth since then. The parent and subsidiaries of the firm typically use Citigroup (with branches in numerous countries) when possible to facilitate any flow of funds necessary.

a. Explain the various ways in which Citigroup could facilitate Worcesterâs flow of funds, and identify the type of financial market where that flow of funds occurs. For each type of financing transaction, specify whether Citigroup would serve as the creditor or would simply facilitate the flow of funds to the firm.

b. Recently, the British subsidiary called on Citigroup for a medium-term loan and was offered the following alternatives. LOAN DENOMINATED IN ANNUALIZED RATE British pounds 13% U.S. dollars 11% Canadian dollars 10% Japanese yen 8%

For years the U.S. dairy industry has claimed that Canadian dairy producers are heavily subsidized through the countryâs supply management program. This argument has been a key point in trade negotiations as the U.S. claims that the supply management system, and the Class & pricing system in place, creates an unfair playing field. In a new report, Canadians have suggested that perhaps the U.S. dairy industry should examine its own subsidy programs before making accusations. The 588-page report commissioned by Dairy Farmers of Canada examined the role subsidies play in the U.S. dairy market. According to the report, 73% of the returns received by U.S. dairy farmers in 2015 were a result of dairy farm subsidies, such as the Margin Protection Program (MPP), the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and others. That amounts to about $12.06 per cwt. âOne of the things we are seeing is that the way dairy industries are supported on both sides of the border are different,â Haney says. âCanada on the front end, is clearly supported through the quota system. In the U.S., itâs more through other means like MPP, SNAP and so forth.â âThe Canadians should realize that the U.S. is not over subsidized, but has a tremendous safety net that will give larger producers confidence to expand production knowing they have revenue assurance and other industry backups,â Wiesemeyer says, especially with the update to programs recently announced in the newly approved spending package. âThat will be the story over the next 3 to 5 years in the U.S. dairy market. Adapted from www.milkbusiness.com (October 2018)
