Based on your map, do you see any regional differences in the price of your food item? Describe that difference.
According to both the map and table, the Atlantic region holds the highest price average of nutella.. The Central region has the lowest price average and The Northern region has both the lowest and highest price of nutella overall. The atlantic regions holds an average of $7.44 in Nutella. This was a unexpected as I personally predicted the northern region to have the highest average. The northern region consisting of the 3 territories, holds an average of $6.79 . The highest price being $8.77 from the Wrangling river supply and the lowest being a $3.50 from a Walmart in Yellowknife. Lastly, the Central region,

There is reason behind the fact that Canada’s atlantic region reaps the highest price average. The population of canada’s Atlantic region has decreased significantly in the past years. Statistics Canada quotes “the Atlantic provinces’ population growth remains significantly lower than elsewhere, and has been close to zero since the late 1990s—.” With the population decreasing in these provinces, the prices of imported products such as Nutella would increase. As learned in class, the less consumers there are to support the market, the higher the price will be.To add to this sudden dilemma, The import taxes to the atlantic provinces are the highest in Canada. Nova Scotia’s provincial rate for import taxes is a staggering 10% in comparison to Ontario with 8%. The territories combined have an import rate of 0%! On that note, it is observed that the Central region has the lowest prices in all of Canada. Most of citizens of the Atlantic provinces have immigrated to the central region to places such as Toronto and Montreal. The population of Ontario is 12,851,821 people while the combined population of the Atlantic provinces is 2,327,638 people.There is another reason why the central region seems to be the hub for nutella. According to the official Ferrero Canada website, in 1974 Ferrero Canada, first opened for business in Toronto, Ontario. Not only that, but in October 2006, Ferrero opened a new manufacturing plant in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. The 900,000ft² plant serves both the US and Canadian market. It was constructed halfway between Toronto and the State of New York. The less distance is needed for a product to import, the cheaper it

Chapter two of Atlantic Canada A History covers the life of Aboriginal people in the Atlantic region from 1500-1860. The aboriginal people needed to be very resourceful; they had to use everything they could from the animals that they killed in order to survive. They used bones, skin, brains and even tendons from moose, caribou, deer and other animals to craft tools and make clothing. Before the Europeans arrived the Aboriginals relied solely on the environment to survive. During the 1500’s when Europeans started to arrive the Mi’kmaq people traded fur with them in exchange for tools and weapons; this tactical advantage allowed the Mi’kmaq to expand their control over other regions.
Selective distribution, however, should never be abandoned because that is what keeps the price of their product from falling below a set value.
Bone used four distinct faultlines to support his descriptions of each regions of Canada. He argued that we can analyze Canada’s geography by outlining four tensional faultlines and they include; English and French Canadians, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, centralist and decentralist, and the , and immigration forces. According to Bone, faultlines refers to the economic, social and political cracks that divide region and people. For example, he mentioned about the centralist and decentralist faultlines. The majority of national population is concentrated in the central Canada and often supported from central government and national policies, while other provinces are out of interest. When the role of federal government was to maintain
When it comes to certain qualities and attributes of the United States of America and Canada, many people residing elsewhere fail to tell the difference. The accents of people from certain parts of both countries, for instance, are so incredibly indistinguishable that they baffle any and everyone. Besides this one factor, they even share some comparable cultural characteristics, such as driving on the right side of the road and cherishing the same basic human rights to the utmost importance. Likewise, there are several similarities between multiple aspects of the countries’ respective governments, including within their individual established frameworks, political systems, and their divisions of authorities and duties. These could potentially point out a reason as to why Canada and the United States are immensely successful in their particular objectives, and are on their paths to achieving their long-term goals with difficult to accomplish, yet beneficial visions. After all, they are both either on the way to becoming or currently are two of world’s leading superpowers (Financial Post). However, there is not just one particular infallible way to rule a country and push it to further advancement simultaneously. In fact, each country works and functions differently, which is primarily due to individual background and history. Ultimately, although Canada and the United States of America are both nations that share similarities in various parts of their Constitutions, political
Canada and Newfoundland had, for the lack of a better term, a peculiar relationship over the course of history and especially in the era of formation of the new Canadian state. While Newfoundland's neighboring islands readily and, also, seamlessly joined the new state in the 1860s and 70s, Newfoundlanders held off making that important decision for decades deep into the twentieth century before formally becoming a part of Canada in 1949. The peculiarity of this relationship was perpetuated by both sides, with Newfoundlanders being stubbornly convinced that their remote island can be self-sustained and Canadians stereotyping the islanders as described in a book, ‘A Country Nourished on Self-Doubt’: Documents in Post-Confederation Canadian History as "vaguely
Since the beginning of Canadian history, regionalism has had a prominent effect on the country`s political system. The concept of regionalism can be defined as a political ideology grounded on a shared sense of place or attachment and is discussed in terms of Canadian society, culture, economy and politics.1 From the days of confederation, Canada has developed into regional cleavages and identities based on various geographical characteristics, traditional lifestyles and economic interests. Two of Canada`s greatest regionally distinct political cultures are known as Western alienation and Quebec nationalism.2 Historically, the lack of regional awareness and accommodation within Canada’s central government has given rise to a great deal
“New France was not merely the settlement of a few fur traders.” The Acadians were “a pastoral-like people who once formed a proud nation in a land called Acadia.” Although falling under the jurisdiction of “New France,” the Acadians governed separately than the rest of the country and were an independent entity within New France. Today, “the Acadians are the French speaking population of the Canadian Maritime provinces,” and these are the Acadians that were not displaced during the expulsions, under British rule. Acadia’s beginnings, with the construction of Port Royal, could have marked the colony for success, but instead, led to a troubling conclusion for the European descendents. Through failed leadership, two
Needed. That is just one of the many words that pop into my mind when I hear the word Confederation. My fellow fathers of confederation as many of you may already know I am John. A. Macdonald and I am very much in favor of confederation. When I was just a little boy I moved from Scotland to amazing Canada West. That is who I am here representing. Since a young boy I have always thought that Confederation would be a great idea. I have over the years realized what this would bring to all of us. My fellow colonies of Nova Scotia New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island I will tell you today in beautiful Charlottetown P.E.I why I believe so much in confederation. I will change any doubters to believers of confederation. Today will change history for the next generations to come, that is your children and all their children to come. One vote could change everything. It can take us a long way.
The change in prices also had an impact on the Italian region’s expected and actual profit because the €7 total sales variance represented an increase of €7 profit for the actual profit. The €7 variance was calculated by the favorable €20 variance for ice cream sales and an unfavorable variance of €13 for specialty sales (€20-€13=€7). This proves that the Italian region can charge slightly more for their ice cream sales given the increase in demand, while the increase in demand of the specialty product could be more attributed to the decrease in price. Overall, the change in pricing came out to make a positive impact on the Italian region’s profit.
In 1986, rivals presented a limited risk to the company due to NutraSweet’s monopolistic position in the production of aspartame. However, the development and subsequent introduction of alternative low-cal high intensity sweeteners, combined with the trend of blending, presented a major risk for NutraSweet’s product. Also, as the patents for aspartame expire in the different regions NutraSweet will face competition from alternative producers of aspartame as well.
Another opportunity is that because a lot of food safety sandals have exploded in China in recent years, people now take their lives seriously and eat food very carefully. They prefer food that comes from safe and clean sources, even if it may cost more. So it isn’t an issue for Levendary having a higher price, as long as the food is organic and without pollution.
British North America by the mid 1700’s consisted of three major regions. The New England region included the colonies of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The Middle Region included the colonies of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. The Southern Region, also known as the Chesapeake Colonies, included the Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Although all three regions consisted of British colonies, each region differed in terms of climate, geography, population, politics, economy, and religious attitudes. Daily life was very different for the people who lived in each of these
Canada faced dramatic changes through the decades of the 1960’s and 1970’s, but in particular the province of Quebec. In 1959, Quebec Premier Maurice Duplessis died, this marked the beginning of the Quiet Revolution. Duplessis was the Union Nationale leader and the party had controlled Quebec for decades until shortly after Duplessis’ death, a provincial election was held where the Liberals, led by Jean Lesage, had won the vote. The Liberals started moving away from the Catholic ideologies, traditions were being shifted and a transformed society was taking over the province of Quebec. Lesage was famously quoted in 1962 “There is no doubt in my mind; it’s now or never that we must become masters in our own home.” which became the Liberals
Canada has an extremley large geography which plays a tremendous role on many factors that affect Canadians. These factors both help and hinder Canada economically, socially and politically. The geography of Canada has also caused regions to form. For the most part, these regions exist due to physical that are present in Canada's landscape. Canada's geography has also had a large impact on the influences that affect settlers. Canada's relatively low popuation in comparison to the large land mass make Canada a place where people who desire to settle in high population, urban areas or large, isolated, and low-trafficked areas. The high population of people near the Canadian-American border is also a unique feature of Canada, due to the
