Some can view the guidelines as discriminatory against those of low-income by preventing them from reuniting with family. On the other hand, others see them as a necessary and justifiable policy introduced by government in order to control the level of government-dependant immigrants in the country. In order to decide whether or not these guidelines constitute discrimination, they must be looked at under the eyes of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (hereafter Charter). The Charter is applicable here because it is being applied to the sponsor, who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, as required under s.130 of the IRPA Regulations. When reviewing the rights enshrined in the Charter, it is clear that none of these rights pertain to any form of discrimination with regard to financial issues or requirements.
However, I think it is high time that Canada addressed the immigration issue with a good dose of realism, because this country is suffering and so are many of the immigrants living here. One of the more pressing problems is the recognition of foreign credentials. Too many Ph.D.’s, M.D.’s, etc. have to work as janitors or taxi drivers, because our current immigration system has misrepresented the facts to these people. Under the points system, a medical doctor would get the top score for qualifications.
The Windsor, Ont., bridge is a key border crossing for trade between Canada and the U.S., she added, with roughly 10,000 trucks crossing daily. "Any flow of traffic stoppage is a pretty big deal, [but] we are told that is not the goal here today," she reported from Windsor. Organizers said it was an "economic slowdown" and "not a blockade." "We don’t want to inconvenience people too much, but we want to be in places that are going to get us noticed and allow us to get our information out," said organizer Lorena Garvey-Shepley. Elsewhere in Ontario, Idle No More protesters set up a blockade near Highway 6 and Caledonia Bypass, according to CUPE.
Confederation had succeeded in creating a new nation, but there was existed some problem within colonies British and American. How would Union solve the problem in 1860’s? The economic and trade problem was main one, American ended free trade agreement and began imposing tariffs on imports of Canadian natural -resource products. So many Canadian thought that as a move weaken to Canadian economy and force annexation of United States. So the Confederation decided to protect Canada economy from U.S.
The longer the worlds nations wait to respond, the more costly the response will be (Herzog, 1999). It would appear that Canada is an ideal place live, yet in order to succeed and live in this fast past environment, a few unknowingly sacrifices have been made. Canada is one of the main contributors of emission and other deadly gases, which leads to global climate change and therefore should take a more aggressive approach in finding solutions. By not concentrating on finding ways to reduce emission gases, the ozone layer continues to deplete, and therefore causes the climate to change worldwide. Nevertheless it is also
Section 241 (b) is unjust because it not only leads to prosecution for acts of compassion; it is cruel because it presents a major social obstacle to allowing mercy to very ill and suffering people. The Harper government has argued that Criminal Code provisions prohibiting doctors, or anyone else, from assisting in suicide are “constitutionally valid.” However, Canada’s policy on euthanasia is beginning to change. Quebec passed Bill 52, which allows for euthanasia, in early June of this year, by a 94-22 vote. It doesn’t come into effect until 2015, to give the government and doctors time to get the required policies and infrastructure in place. The bill allows Quebecers to have medical help to die, as long as they have “an incurable serious illness” and an advanced, irreversible decline in their abilities, and are at the end of their life.
Though to this day the American and Canadian cultures retain their differences in socioeconomic stratification, race relations, and deviant subculture, the variation in incarceration rate should be seen through a historical perspective: during Canada’s early period of growth, a much greater amount of policing was required to maintain societal protection. The immigration policy that made Canada a multicultural country also caused many problems during the initial stages of settlement (Lenton, 164). Competition and fighting between minority groups disrupted the previous homogeneity of Canadian society. The Canadian government responded by increasing the overall presence of law enforcement. Increased police presence ultimately correlated with a decrease in the total amount of crime, and by extension the incarceration rate (Bonta, 164).
Conscription is a method used by many nations to ensure that the troops are replenished as needed (Granastein, Jones). In Canada however, there was some debate on whether or not we should even be involved in this war so Conscription was not a first choice by any means. The problem was that Canada was considered an ally to Great Britain and since Great Britain was in the midst of the conflict (Guay), Canada was expected to jump in. Many in Canada however didn’t believe we should even be allies of Great Britain, especially in a war taking place on another continent. These people who were against involvement were mostly Francophone.
Dear Toronto Gazette, I am writing this letter, with discontent for the increasing amount of immigrants. Many people may say that the increase in immigrants is beneficial but I strongly believe that the increase is disadvantageous to Canada. The immigrants are taking over our land, thinking that they are in charge. they think they can fit in to our everyday lives, but thats wrong! We will not allow them to settle in so quickly!
9) Approximately eighty two million dollars is laundered each year, the government needs to take significant action. This is because the insertion of laundered money into the economy corrupts banks and government officials, and un-stabilizes the control of money and enhances a cross- border wealth movement. Another type of financial crime is insurance fraud. Insurance fraud costs Canadian a lot of money each year. “ The Insurance Bureau of Canada states that insurance fraud continues to costs Canadians more than a billion dollars annually through insurance premiums, with 541.
