"No" to proposed bank merger

Article Abstract:

The need to support long term growth has prompted Canadian banking institutions to participate massively in various merger activities. One of the most contested issues in the industry recently is the merger proposal between Royal Bank and Canada. However, analysts strongly argue that federal regulators must not issue approval to the plan, as it may jeopardize competition in financial service markets. While the merger would promote the growth of the two companies concerned, it may in turn, undermine the development of other firms and provide limited services to consumers.

No borders in cyberspace

Article Abstract:

The Internet is not being limited by political and national boundaries. Governments do not have power over the information that passes through computer networks coded in binary impulses. In the future, money, motion pictures, books and technology will hold an identity that cannot be controlled by the governments, thereby avoiding taxation. China and Quebec's Office de la langue francaise have placed efforts to control the dynamics of cyberspace.
