neg: Jack Tier Jack Tier , or the Florida Reef is a novel by James Fenimore Cooper first published in 1848 by New York publisher Hurd and Houghton . Set during the Mexican-American war , the novel relates a twenty-year homosocial relationship verging on the homoerotic between a sailor and the captain of the boat . But by the end of the novel the sailor is the captain 's wife , transforming the story into one of heterosexual love and passion .   The novel was first published serially in a magazine under the title Rose Budd in 1846 . When commenting on the novel in the context of other novels about the Mexican-American War , critic Jaime Javier Rodríguez describes the novel as `` an obscure work not always found in library stacks -LSB- thus it -RSB- remains largely unread but it too deserves attention . ''   Garden Key Light on Garden Key in the Dry Tortugas was used as the setting for the novel .

neg: City Boy: The Adventures of Herbie Bookbinder City Boy : The Adventures of Herbie Bookbinder is a 1948 novel by Herman Wouk first published by Simon & Schuster . The second novel written by Wouk , City Boy was largely ignored by the reading public until the success of The Caine Mutiny resurrected interest in Wouk 's writing . Like The Caine Mutiny , the novel is semi-autobiographical in setting and situations , if not protagonist . In 1969 the novel was re-issued , with paperback editions in 1980 and 1992 , and according to Wouk was translated into eleven languages . John P. Marquand , in a preface to the 1969 twentieth anniversary release , likened Herbie Bookbinder to a city-dwelling Huckleberry Finn or Tom Sawyer .   In many of his novels Wouk evinces through his characters a love of Dickens , particularly in use of language to set mood . In City Boy he devises humorous twists of language to set a less-than-serious tone throughout this coming-of-age story . Also like Dickens , Wouk expertly manages a large cast of characters , including more than a dozen adults ( and a one-of-a-kind horse named Clever Sam ) woven in-and-out of a narrative about children , with depictions that ring true both in description and actions .

neg: Manhattan Transfer (novel) Manhattan Transfer is an American novel by John Dos Passos published in 1925 . It focuses on the development of urban life in New York City from the Gilded Age to the Jazz Age as told through a series of overlapping individual stories .   It is considered to be one of Dos Passos ' most important works . The book attacks the consumerism and social indifference of contemporary urban life , portraying a Manhattan that is merciless yet teeming with energy and restlessness . The book shows some of Dos Passos ' experimental writing techniques and narrative collages that would become more pronounced in his U.S.A. trilogy and other later works . The technique in Manhattan Transfer was inspired in part by James Joyce 's Ulysses ( 1922 ) , T. S. Eliot 's The Waste Land , and experiments with film collage by Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein .   Sinclair Lewis described it as `` a novel of the very first importance ... The dawn of a whole new school of writing . '' D. H. Lawrence called it `` the best modern book about New York '' he had ever read , describing it as `` a very complete  film ... of the vast loose gang of strivers and winners and losers which seems to be the very pep of New York . '' In a blurb for a European edition , Ernest Hemingway wrote that , alone among American writers , Dos Passos has `` been able to show to Europeans the America they really find when they come here . ''

neg: A Delicate Truth A Delicate Truth is a 2013 spy novel by John le Carré . Set in 2008 and 2011 , the book features a British/American covert mission in Gibraltar and the subsequent consequences for two British civil servants .   Le Carré describes this as not only his most British novel but also his most autobiographical work in years . The author told The Daily Telegraph that he has based two of the book 's characters on himself . Le Carré sees Toby Bell as `` the thirty-something rising star of Her Majesty 's Foreign Service ... the striving ambitious fellow I fancy myself to have been at much the same age . `` whereas Sir Christopher ( `` Kit '' ) Probyn is `` a retired Foreign Office civil servant , who lives in rural Cornwall . `` the author has `` lived in a clifftop house outside St Buryan , near Land 's End , for more than 40 years . ''   The novel may be loosely based on Operation Flavius , the 1988 operation during which three members of the Provisional IRA were shot dead by the British SAS in Gibraltar .

neg: Into the Wild (novel) Into the Wild is a children 's fantasy novel written by Erin Hunter after concepts and outlines created and developed by Victoria Holmes . The novel was published by HarperCollins in Canada and the United States in January 2003 , and in the United Kingdom in February 2003 . It is the first novel in the Warriors series . The book has been published in paperback , and e-book formats in twenty different languages .

He is trained to defend and hunt for the Clan , becomes embroiled in a murder and betrayal within the Clan , and , at the end of the book , receives his warrior name , Fireheart , after a battle with another Clan . The novel is written from the perspective of Fireheart ( previously known as Rusty for a short time , then , for most of the book , Firepaw ) .   The series began in 2003 when HarperCollins requested Holmes to write a book on feral cats . After creating one storyline Holmes brought in Kate Cary to finish writing the book as Holmes went behind the scenes to edit and supervise the details . Holmes has compared the style of the book to a different language as the books are written by three separate authors . She feels that Erin Hunter must have a consistent voice the entire series . The story uses a lexicon with words such as `` twoleg '' substituted for `` human '' or `` new-leaf '' for `` spring '' . The style has been compared to the Harry Potter series , J.R.R. Tolkien and Brian Jacques . Themes include family , loyalty , death , courage , and survival . Into the Wild was critically well received . Booklist believed the book would appeal to followers of Brian Jacques ' Redwall series . Among other awards , it claimed third place in the 2006 Young Reader 's Choice Award .

neg: What Hetty Did What Hetty Did is the seventh novel by J.L. Carr , published in 1988 when he was 76 years old . The novel describes the experiences of an 18-year-old girl . Hetty Birtwisle has been brought up by adoptive parents in the Fens ; after a beating by her father , discovering that she was adopted , she flees to Birmingham where she has learnt she was born and alters her surname to Beauchamp .   Hetty Beauchamp comes across several characters from Carr 's other novels in the boarding house in which she lives , including Emma Foxberrow , a teacher in The Harpole Report and Edward Peplow , from A Day in Summer .   Carr was offered an advance of # 5,000 for the novel , including paperback rights , but as this was the same amount that he had been offered three years earlier for The Battle of Pollocks Crossing , he decided to publish it himself . The book was published in an edition of 2,850 copies and is the first novel published by The Quince Tree Press . As Carr usually offered to send his books post free , he included the price of postage in the price of the book , which had to be printed on the back . However he based postage mistakenly on the cost of sending a Penguin paperback , and What Hetty Did was printed on superior paper with card covers , so it was heavier than expected and he lost money on postage . However the book sold well at # 3.95 a copy and he soon had another 3,000 copies printed . The novel is still published by The Quince Tree Press .   The book is notable for the fact that he gave his name as James Carr on the spine and J.L. Carr on the front . Carr was christened Joseph Lloyd and adopted the name ` Jim ' or even ` James ' in his early 20s .   The story was adapted by Ellen Dryden for BBC Radio 4 's Woman 's Hour Drama in 2004 .

neg: Polo Is My Life Polo Is My Life is an unpublished novel written by Hunter S. Thompson .

neg: Dancing in the Dark (novel) Dancing in the Dark is a 2005 novel by Kittitian-British writer Caryl Phillips that won the PEN Open Book Award ( formerly known as the Beyond Margins Award ) in 2006 . The novel reimagines the life of Bert Williams ( 1874 -- 1922 ) , the first black entertainer in the U.S. to achieve the highest levels of fame and fortune , while darkening his skin with burnt cork and `` playing the dim-witted ` coon ' on Broadway and elsewhere '' , a story that allows the author to deal with issues of race and identity that he also addressed in his novel A Distant Shore , as reviewer Tabish Khair notes : `` Dancing in the Dark explores the particular tensions of assuming a false identity which , in a racist society , would be considered the ` true ' identity of the player . This catches the performer in the double bind of using the actor 's art to confirm prejudices , which then blind their audiences to that art . '' The story also deals with `` the perils of self-invention , that have long plagued American culture '' .

query: Canada is in North America, bordered the United States.

pos: Canada Canada ( -LSB- ˈkænədə -RSB- -LSB- kanadɑ -RSB- ) is a country in the northern part of North America . Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean , covering 9.98 e6km2 , making it the world 's second-largest country by total area and the fourth-largest country by land area . Canada 's border with the United States is the world 's longest binational land border . The majority of the country has a cold or severely cold winter climate , but southerly areas are warm in summer . Canada is sparsely populated , the majority of its land territory being dominated by forest and tundra and the Rocky Mountains . It is highly urbanized with 82 per cent of the 35.15 million people concentrated in large and medium-sized cities , many near the southern border . One third of the population lives in the three largest cities : Toronto , Montreal and Vancouver . Its capital is Ottawa , and other major urban areas include Calgary , Edmonton , Quebec City , Winnipeg and Hamilton .   Various aboriginal peoples had inhabited what is now Canada for thousands of years prior to European colonization . Beginning in the 16th century , British and French claims were made on the area , with the colony of Canada first being established by the French in 1535 during Jacques Cartier 's second voyage to New France . As a consequence of various conflicts , Great Britain gained and lost territories within British North America until it was left , in the late 18th century , with what mostly geographically comprises Canada today . Pursuant to the British North America Act , on July 1 , 1867 , the colonies of Canada , New Brunswick , and Nova Scotia joined to form the semi-autonomous federal Dominion of Canada . This began an accretion of provinces and territories to the mostly self-governing Dominion to the present ten provinces and three territories forming modern Canada .   In 1931 , Canada achieved near total independence from the United Kingdom with the Statute of Westminster 1931 , but at the time , Canada decided to allow the British Parliament to temporarily retain the power to amend Canada 's constitution , on request from the Parliament of Canada . With the Constitution Act 1982 , Canada took over that authority ( as the conclusion of Patriation ) , removing the last remaining ties of legal dependence on the Parliament of the United Kingdom , giving the country full sovereignty .   Canada is a federal parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy , with Queen Elizabeth II being the head of state . The country is officially bilingual at the federal level . It is one of the world 's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations , the product of large-scale immigration from many other countries . Its advanced economy is the eleventh largest in the world , relying chiefly upon its abundant natural resources and well-developed international trade networks . Canada 's long and complex relationship with the United States has had a significant impact on its economy and culture .   Canada is a developed country and has the tenth highest nominal per capita income globally as well as the ninth highest ranking in the Human Development Index . It ranks among the highest in international measurements of government transparency , civil liberties , quality of life , economic freedom , and education . Canada is a Commonwealth realm member of the Commonwealth of Nations , a member of the Francophonie , and part of several major international and intergovernmental institutions or groupings including the United Nations , the North Atlantic Treaty Organization , the G8 , the Group of Ten , the G20 , the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum .

neg: Provinces and territories of Canada Canada 's geography is divided into administrative divisions known as provinces and territories that are responsible for delivery of sub-national governance . When Canada was formed in 1867 , three provinces of British North America -- New Brunswick , Nova Scotia and the Province of Canada ( which , on the formation of Canada , was divided into Ontario and Quebec ) -- were united to form a federated colony , which eventually became a sovereign nation in the next century . Over its history , Canada 's international borders have changed several times , and the country has grown from the original four provinces to the current ten provinces and three territories . The ten provinces are Alberta , British Columbia , Manitoba , New Brunswick , Newfoundland and Labrador , Nova Scotia , Ontario , Prince Edward Island , Quebec , and Saskatchewan . Several of the provinces were former British colonies , and Quebec was originally a French colony , while others were added as Canada grew . The three territories are Northwest Territories , Nunavut , and Yukon , which govern the rest of the area of the former British North America . Together , the provinces and territories make up the world 's second-largest country by area .   The major difference between a Canadian province and a territory is that provinces receive their power and authority from the Constitution Act , 1867 ( formerly called the British North America Act , 1867 ) , whereas territorial governments have powers delegated to them by the Parliament of Canada . The powers flowing from the Constitution Act are divided between the federal government and the provincial governments to exercise exclusively . A change to the division of powers between the federal government and the provinces requires a constitutional amendment , whereas a similar change affecting the territories can be performed unilaterally by the Parliament of Canada or government .   In modern Canadian constitutional theory , the provinces are considered to be co-sovereign divisions and each province has its own `` Crown '' represented by the lieutenant governor . The territories are not sovereign , but simply part of the federal realm , and have a commissioner who represents the federal government .   __ TOC __

neg: List of Canadian provinces and territories by population Canada is divided into ten provinces and three territories . The majority of Canada 's population is concentrated in the areas close to the Canada -- US border . Its four largest provinces by area ( Quebec , Ontario , British Columbia and Alberta ) are also ( with Quebec and Ontario switched in order ) its most populous ; together they account for 86 % of the country 's population . The territories ( the Northwest Territories , Nunavut and Yukon ) account for over a third of Canada 's area but are home to only 0.3 % of its population , which skews the national population density value .   Canada 's population grew by 5.0 % between the 2006 and 2011 censuses . Except for New Brunswick , all territories and provinces increased in population from 2011 to 2016 . In terms of percent change , the fastest-growing province or territory was Nunavut with an increase of 12.7 % between 2011 and 2016 , followed by Alberta with 11.6 % growth . New Brunswick 's population decreased by 0.5 % between 2011 and 2016 .   Canada 's population has increased every year since Confederation in 1867 : see List of population of Canada by years .

neg: Philosophy in Canada The study and teaching of philosophy in Canada date from the time of New France . There has since developed no particular `` Canadian '' school of philosophy . Rather , Canadian philosophers have reflected particular views of established European and later American schools of philosophical thought , be it Thomism , Objective Idealism , or Scottish Common Sense Realism . Since the mid-twentieth century the depth and scope of philosophical activity in Canada has increased dramatically .

neg: Rebellions of 1837–1838 The Rebellions of 1837 ( Les rébellions de 1837 ) were two armed uprisings that took place in Lower and Upper Canada in 1837 and 1838 . Both rebellions were motivated by frustrations with political reform . A key shared goal was responsible government , which was eventually achieved in the incidents ' aftermath . The rebellions led directly to Lord Durham 's Report on the Affairs of British North America and to The British North America Act , 1840 which partially reformed the British provinces into a unitary system and eventually led to the British North America Act , 1867 which created Canada and its government .

neg: Origins of the War of 1812 The War of 1812 , a war between the United States , Great Britain , and Britain 's Indian allies , lasted from 1812 to 1815 . The U.S. declared war and historians have long debated the multiple factors behind that decision .   There were several immediate stated causes for the U.S. declaration of war : First , a series of trade restrictions introduced by Britain to impede American trade with France , a country with which Britain was at war ( the U.S. contested these restrictions as illegal under international law ) ; second , the impressment ( forced recruitment ) of U.S. seamen into the Royal Navy ; third , the British military support for American Indians who were offering armed resistance to the expansion of the American frontier to the Northwest ; fourth , a possible desire on the part of the United States to annex Canada . An implicit but powerful motivation for the Americans was the desire to uphold national honor in the face of what they considered to be British insults ( such as the Chesapeake affair ) .   American expansion into the Northwest ( Ohio , Indiana , Michigan , Illinois and Wisconsin ) was impeded by Indian raids . Some Canadian historians in the early 20th century maintained that Americans had wanted to seize parts of Canada , a view that many Canadians still share , while others argue that inducing the fear of such a seizure had merely been a U.S. tactic designed to obtain a bargaining chip . Some members of the British Parliament at the time and dissident American politicians such as John Randolph of Roanoke claimed that land hunger rather than maritime disputes was the main motivation for the American declaration . However , some historians , both Canadian and American , retain the view that desire to annex all or part of Canada was an American goal . Although the British made some concessions before the war on neutral trade , they insisted on the right to reclaim their deserting sailors . The British also had the long-standing goal of creating a large `` neutral '' Indian state that would cover much of Ohio , Indiana and Michigan . They made the demand as late as 1814 at the peace conference , but lost battles that would have validated their claims .   The war was fought in four theatres : on the oceans , where the warships and privateers of both sides preyed on each other 's merchant shipping ; along the Atlantic coast of the U.S. , which was blockaded with increasing severity by the British , who also mounted large-scale raids in the later stages of the war ; on the long frontier , running along the Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence River , which separated the U.S. from Upper and Lower Canada ( Ontario and Quebec ) ; and finally along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico . During the course of the war , both the Americans and British launched invasions of each other 's territory , all of which were unsuccessful or gained only temporary success . At the end of the war , the British held parts of Maine and some outposts in the sparsely populated West while the Americans held Canadian territory near Detroit , but these occupied territories were restored at the end of the war .   In the United States , battles such as New Orleans and the earlier successful defence of Baltimore ( which inspired the lyrics of the U.S. national anthem , The Star-Spangled Banner ) produced a sense of euphoria over a `` second war of independence '' against Britain . It ushered in an `` Era of Good Feelings , '' in which the partisan animosity that had once verged on treason practically vanished . Canada also emerged from the war with a heightened sense of national feeling and solidarity . Britain , which had regarded the war as a sideshow to the Napoleonic Wars raging in Europe , was less affected by the fighting ; its government and people subsequently welcomed an era of peaceful relations with the United States .

neg: List of Prime Ministers of Canada by languages spoken The politics of language has been a key issue in Canada since the founding of the country in 1867 . The choice of a party leader is greatly influenced by language proficiency , as is electability with the public . All Canadian prime ministers have spoken either French or English , some both , but only a few were fluently bilingual , and few have spoken any other language . All prime ministers have had one of English or French as their mother tongue with the possible exceptions of Sir John A. Macdonald and Alexander Mackenzie , who may have spoken Scottish Gaelic or Lowland Scots as their first language .   The two official languages of the Parliament of Canada have been English and French since 1867 under the British North America Act ; however , few members of parliament have historically been able to debate in their second language , and simultaneous translation was not introduced until the 1960s , making for two largely separate groups of legislators debating the same issues in two different languages . Furthermore the language of administration was almost solely English before the 1969 Official Languages Act . Speaking English has always been necessary to become prime minister as the majority of any parliamentary caucus large enough to form government has always been made up of unilingual Anglophones , not to mention the voting public . Not being able to speak French has not always been considered a sufficient handicap to prevent one from becoming prime minister , however . All Anglophone Canadian prime ministers have had ministers in their cabinet that represented the provincial interests of Quebec and spoke the French language , known as Quebec lieutenants . This tradition began before Confederation in the old United Province in Canada , which was usually jointly governed by two `` co-premiers '' , one from Canada West ( Ontario ) and one from Canada East ( Quebec ) . It was extended into Confederation via Macdonald 's partnership with George-Étienne Cartier and has continued down to the present day .   Since rise of Quebec nationalism ( following the Quiet Revolution -LSB- circa 1960-1966 -RSB- ) , and especially the introduction of official bilingualism in the Official Languages Act in 1969 and its entrenchment in the Constitution of 1982 , Canadian prime ministers ( and party leaders as potential prime ministers ) have been expected to be functionally bilingual by convention . An important factor in this trend has been the creation of the televised leaders ' debates , which are held in separately in French and English . The parties feel the need to have a leader who can at least participate in both debates , even if they can not win them both . The need to speak both languages is also seen as symbol of Canada 's identity as a linguistic duality , but also as a practical political matter , as the prime minister is seen as a leader of the federalist camp opposed to Quebec separatism and must be able to fight for the `` hearts and minds '' of Quebecers in their native language .

neg: Province of Quebec (1763–1791) The Province of Quebec was a colony in North America created by Great Britain after the Seven Years ' War . Great Britain acquired French Canada by the Treaty of Paris in which ( after a long debate ) France negotiated to keep the small but very rich sugar island of Guadeloupe instead . By Britain 's Royal Proclamation of 1763 , Canada ( part of New France ) was renamed the Province of Quebec . The new British province extended from the coast of Labrador on the Atlantic Ocean , southwest through the Saint Lawrence River Valley to the Great Lakes and beyond to the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers . Portions of its southwest ( below the Great Lakes ) were later ceded to the United States in a later Treaty of Paris ( 1783 ) at the conclusion of the American Revolution .

neg: Laurentide Ice Sheet The Laurentide Ice Sheet was a massive sheet of ice that covered millions of square kilometers , including most of Canada and a large portion of the northern United States , multiple times during the Quaternary glacial epochs -- from 2.588 ± 0.005 million years ago to the present . < ref  name = `` ICS2013 '' > </ref> The last advance covered most of northern North America between c. 95,000 and c. 20,000 years before the present day , and among other geomorphological effects , gouged out the five Great Lakes and the hosts of smaller lakes of the Canadian shield . These lakes extend from the eastern Northwest Territories , through most of northern Canada , and the upper Midwestern United States ( Minnesota , Wisconsin , and Michigan ) to the Finger Lakes , through Lake Champlain and Lake George areas of New York , across the northern Appalachians into and through all of New England and Nova Scotia . At times , the ice sheet 's southern margin included the present-day sites of northeastern coastal towns and cities such as Portsmouth , New Hampshire , Boston , New York City , and Great Lakes coastal cities and towns as far south as Chicago and St. Louis , Missouri -- and then followed quite precisely the present course of the Missouri River up to the northern slopes of the Cypress Hills , beyond which it merged with the Cordilleran Ice Sheet . The ice coverage extended approximately as far south as 38 degrees latitude in the mid-continent .

neg: Canadian cricket team in the United States in 1844 The Canadian cricket team in the United States in 1844 was the first international team to travel to another country and the match between the two national sides that year , billed as `` United States of America versus the British Empire 's Canadian Province '' , was the first official international cricket match . The match took place between 24 and 26 September 1844 at the St George 's Cricket Club , Bloomingdale Park in New York . Canada won by 23 runs . The game was watched by between 10,000 and 20,000 spectators and around $ 120,000 worth of bets were placed .

neg: Côte-Nord Côte-Nord ( -LSB- kot nɔʁ -RSB- , French for `` North Shore '' , area 247,633.94 km ² ) is the second largest administrative region by land area in Quebec , Canada , after Nord-du-Québec . It covers much of the northern shore of the Saint Lawrence River estuary and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence past Tadoussac .   While most of the region is in the same time zone as the rest of Quebec , the far eastern portion east of the 63rd meridian , including half of Anticosti Island , is officially in the Atlantic Time Zone .

neg: Conservatism in North America Conservatism in North America is a political philosophy that varies in form , depending on the country and the region , but that has similar themes and goals . Academic study into the differences and similarities between conservatism in North American countries has been undertaken on numerous occasions . Reginald Bibby has asserted that the primary reason that conservatism has been so strong and enduring throughout North America is because of the propagation of religious values from generation to generation . This connection is strongest in mainstream Protestantism in the United States and both Protestantism and Roman Catholicism in Canada .   According to Louis Hartz , nations that developed from settler colonies were European `` fragments '' that froze the class structure and underlying ideology prevalent in the mother country at the time of their foundation . He considered Latin America and French Canada to be fragments of feudal Europe , and the United States and English Canada as liberal fragments . However Gad Horowitz , writing that Hartz had acknowledged a Tory influence in English Canada , claimed a conservative tradition had developed there as well . American conservatism is generally considered to be a variety of liberalism , rather than true conservatism , although Canada also developed an American style conservatism that competed with the older Tory conservatism . A right-wing conservatism , or `` Latin conservatism '' , developed in Latin America and Quebec . Today , conservative and conservative liberal parties in North America cooperate through the International Democrat Union .

neg: Stickeen Territories The Stickeen Territories -LSB- stɪˈkiːn -RSB- , also colloquially rendered as Stickeen Territory , Stikine Territory , and Stikeen Territory , was a territory of British North America whose brief existence began July 19 , 1862 , and concluded July of the following year . The region was split from the North-Western Territory in the wake of the Stikine Gold Rush . The initial strike attracted large numbers of miners -- mostly American -- to the region ; by detaching the region from the exclusive trade zone of the Hudson 's Bay Company , British authorities were able to impose tariffs and licences on the speculators . The new territory , named after the Stikine River , was under the responsibility of the Governor of the Colony of British Columbia , James Douglas , who was appointed `` Administrator of the Stickeen Territories '' and under British law , within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of British Columbia .   The boundaries of the territory were : the 62nd parallel to the North , the 125th meridian to the East , the Nass and Finlay Rivers to the South , and the panhandle of Russian America to the west ( only vaguely defined by treaty and disputed until resolved with the Alaska Boundary Settlement of 1903 ) .   A year later , the Stickeen was added to the Colony of British Columbia ( along with the Colony of the Queen Charlotte Islands ) , except for the sector north of the 60th parallel , which was returned to the North-Western Territory . In 1895 , this strip was again redistributed , this time to the District of Yukon , as newly constituted during the midst of the Klondike Gold Rush .

neg: Indian barrier state thumb | 300px | Old Northwest ; the 1792 version included a strip along New York 's northern border  The Indian barrier state or buffer state was a British proposal to establish a Native American state in the portion of the Great Lakes region of North America west of the Appalachian Mountains , and bounded by the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and the Great Lakes . The concept of establishing such a state , first conceived in the late 1750s , was part of a long-term plan to reconcile the Indian tribes to British rule and diminish hostilities between the tribes and the British Army following its victory in the French and Indian War . After the region was assigned to the United States in the 1783 treaty ending the American Revolutionary War , British officials pursued efforts to organize the various tribes within it into a sort of Confederation that would form the basis of an Indian state , independent of the United States and under their tutelage , as a way to protect their fur trade ventures in the region and to block anticipated American attacks upon their remaining North American possessions .   The idea of establishing an Indian barrier state in the Great Lakes region was conceived and developed solely by British officials ; Indian tribal leaders had no role in it . Among the plan 's most ardent proponents was John Graves Simcoe , Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada ( now Ontario ) from 1791 until 1796 . In 1814 the British government abandoned efforts to bring such a state into being .

neg: Arctic policy of Canada The Arctic policy of Canada includes both the foreign policy of Canada in regard to the Arctic region and Canada 's domestic policy towards its Arctic territories . This includes the devolution of powers to the territories . Canada 's Arctic policy includes the plans and provisions of these regional governments . It encompasses the exercise of sovereignty , social and economic development , the protection of the environment , and the improving and devolving of governance .   Canada , along with the 7 other Arctic nations , is a member of the Arctic Council . On August 23 , 2012 , Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced that Nunavut MP Leona Aglukkaq would serve as chair of the Arctic Council when Canada assumed the Chairmanship from Sweden in May 2013 .   Along with its mainland in the upper regions of North America , Canada claims sovereignty over the related continental shelf and the Arctic Archipelago . It considers the waters between the islands of the Archipelago to be Canadian Internal Waters . The United States considers those to be international waters .   Canada has more Arctic land mass than any other country . This land is included within the administrative regions of the Northwest Territories , Nunavut , and Yukon . As of 2011 , approximately 107,265 Canadians live in the Arctic .

neg: Film director A film director is a person who directs the making of a film . Generally , a film director controls a film 's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the screenplay ( or script ) while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision . The director has a key role in choosing the cast members , production design , and the creative aspects of filmmaking . Under European Union law , the director is viewed as the author of the film .   The film director gives direction to the cast and crew and creates an overall vision through which a film eventually becomes realized , or noticed . Directors need to be able to mediate differences in creative visions and stay within the boundaries of the film 's budget . There are many pathways to becoming a film director . Some film directors started as screenwriters , cinematographers , film editors or actors . Other film directors have attended a film school . Directors use different approaches . Some outline a general plotline and let the actors improvise dialogue , while others control every aspect , and demand that the actors and crew follow instructions precisely . Some directors also write their own screenplays or collaborate on screenplays with long-standing writing partners . Some directors edit or appear in their films , or compose the music score for their films .
