Step 2:

A)
The main resources of Canada are oil and gas, with lots of lumber and other forest
resources. The oil of canada is being used to create gas, and most of the lumber to build houses
and other buildings, also maybe for fires. Most of Canadas resources arent even being used by
them, but by all of the countries they are exporting it to.Canada does a huge amount of producing
and distributing of it every year. The main export locations were the U.S. with 78% of their
exportings worth about $201 billion and most of the things exported were of oil and lumber.
Next is the United Kingdom with 5% worth about $12 billion dollars, and last is China with 4%
worth about $10 billion.
B)
With a high energy demand predicted to rise dramastically, Canada needs to monitor and
evenly distribute their resources, not just give them to the countries that need it. When uneven
distribution of resources happens, it causes huge conflict between countries but can also begin to
facilitate cooperation. Its like negotiating; all the countries that need it will find a happy
medium.
C)
Some key factors of sustainability are evenly distributing Canadas resources and making
sure that they have enough of their own to live off of. If they continue to give all opf their
resources away they will not be able to sustain themselves for as long of a time. That is why they
need to regulate their distribution and use of resources.
Step 3:
A)
I predict that the migration patterns will be more into the U.S. because they are giving a
huge chunk to the U.S every year and they will run out quickly if they continue to do this. People
will be probably be living alone, in Canada and maybe move in with their families and
eventually to the U.S. They also may end up following the hotspots for oil because of the job
openings that come with this much mining of oil.
B)
I predict that people will move place to place because of the increase in jobs where the oil
is being mined, along with the best chance for sustainability. For example, if you can grow your
own vegetables, and milk your own cows and take care of everything you know you will be
sustained. They will move to wherever their job is, if its oil it would be in eastern Canada, and
where they know they can support themselves and their family, if they have one.
C)
The factors that have and will affect the migration of this country are the oil job
opportunities, and whether or not the area is a sustainable and reliable are to live in. If an area is
running out of resources, they will most likely move to a place where they know they can sustain
themselves .
D)
Cultural diffusion has had an impact, but not a huge one. Since Canada has gotten
technology from America, they have also advanced a huge amount in technology, almost as
much as America. Another impact is language. Since many tourists from America and lots of
other countries have been traveling there and sharing their language, Canada has been able to
discover more languages and other things, such as foo, from that culture.
Step 4:
A)
Canad depends a huge amount economically on the U.S. because of the amount of oil and
other resources to them. They sell America as much as 101 billion dollars worth of oil and

lumber and other resources. They depend on other countries economically as well to give them
resources and money. Politically, Canada looks to America to help them blossom into a strong
independent country like the U.S.
B)
Canada is challenged by globalization because they give out most of their resources and
dont get much in return. Their sustainability is at stake because of the enormous amounts of oil
and other resources produced every year. Therefore if they cant sustain themselves, because
their globalization connections will be ended. They wont be able to maintain globalization with
other countries if their uneven distribution continues.
C)
In my opinion, globalization is a positive step for Canada because it will tech Canada to
manage their resources better and discontinue uneven distribution of resources. When Canada
gets resources from other countries, that they need and dont have, they realize that they wont
earn back all the lost resources due to uneven distribution. Once Canada realizes this, they will
be able to have better sustainability and one less problem to deal with.
