Canada’s socio-demographic profile increasingly requires a justice system that is blind to such subjectivity. Personal morality opens the door to personal bias and allows us to stray from the core values of the rule of law, leading to inconsistent
Conversely, Philip L. Bryden argues against Martin, concluding that the charter is indeed democratic and Canadian. This essay agrees with Bryden’s argument that the Charter is not un-Canadian or antidemocratic, citing problems with Martin’s argument and making reasons as to why the Charter is such a fundamental part of Canadian Constitution. Robert Martin bases one part of his argument on the idea that the Charter is antidemocratic. He clarifies himself in his introduction, not faulting the Charter in and of its own for being antidemocratic, but instead claiming that the application of the Charter by humans is what is antidemocratic. Martin’s argument on how the Charter is antidemocratic has six main premises.
While we must appreciate the moral perspectives some attempt to embody, good public policy must be measured by its effectiveness and ability to actually achieve the goals it is designed to respond to. For the purpose of this paper I will present information from Vancouver’s safe injection site, created in 2003 in hopes of cleaning up the Downtown Eastside. Presenting the facts on harm reduction and costs associated with drug addicts, I hope to help determine if the Government should fund safe injection sites by demonstrating its cost effectiveness on society as a whole. 2. Harm Reduction, A Pure Drug Control Approach One of the four pillars of Canada’s Drug Strategy is harm reduction.
Birch was preceded by a path-breaking line of cases in which Canadian appellate courts signalled their willingness to depart from the strict common law rule against enforcing a stipulated remedy that amounts to a penalty rather than a genuine pre-estimate of damages.2 Those cases marked a positive development in Canadian contract law, as adherence to the traditional rule against penalty clauses is difficult to justify. This is not to say that all penalty clauses ought to be enforced. But some of them should be enforced, while the reasons not to enforce the rest are more or less the same as the reasons not to enforce other contractual provisions. Consequently, doctrines such as unconscionability, mistake, and contra proferentem ought to be capable of addressing concerns relevant to the enforceability of stipulated remedies. There is no need for a rule that singles out penalty clauses for special treatment.
"Why Establish This Paper?" is a great title for the editorial written by Mary Ann Shadd Cary. It was published in the second issue of her newspaper, the Provincial Freeman (March 25, 1854). The editorial is about the need in Canada for her newspaper and she uses many persuasive tactics to prove her point. Cary uses emotional and logical appeal, among other persuasive devices, throughout the piece to convince the reader that this particular newspaper is important.

Class 3 – The Division of Powers and the Provincial Rights Movement I.Division of Powers John A. Macdonald wanted a unitary state or legislative union, but had to accommodate the demands for autonomy coming from Quebec and the Maritime provinces. So he agreed to a “federal union” of the most centralized form. – He wanted a unity state; he didn’t want a federal system but just a unity system. In seeking to create a strong central government and relatively weak provinces, the Fathers of Confederation were NOT conforming to the modern definition of a federation: “two levels of government characterized by a division of powers such that neither is subordinate to the other.” The subordination of the provinces to the federal government can be seen in three principal parts of the BNA Act: (a) The division of powers (b) The division of financial powers (c) The powers of reservation and disallowance These are
Alex Schadenberg is the executive director of the EPCC. He does not look upon PAS as being about the alleviation of suffering of terminally ill persons. Rather he views it as about whether physicians should be able to decide, perhaps without considering the wishes of the persons involved, whether to terminate the lives of any of their patients who is suffering. He said: "Canadians should understand how wide this case is that’s being heard. The Carter case wants to define it as all people who are suffering and they are trying to grant doctors the right to cause their death.
Everyone should be treated as equals but that’s not the case with Indians, , because no one person is better than another. In the text book Canada Revisited 8 on page 208 it read “the purpose of the Indian Act was to assimilate First Nations people into Euro- Canadian culture”. The text in quotes stated that the beliefs and culture of the First Nations were primitive, and had no place in society. This is absolutely unfair to the First Nations people because the Canadian government is discouraging them to follow their customs, cultures, and beliefs. Another example of assimilation was that in 2002 the
The love for hockey, the cultural diversity, the bilingualism, the humility, and the pride. Canadians are less outspoken about their identity than some countries might be, like the USA for example. The pride of Canadians is not as highly promoted as the United States of America, but the strong voice of Canada can be heard. All in all, a Canadian in the 21st century is affable, lively, humble, giving, non-discriminating, and an advocator of environmentally friendly actions. At first, when I chose Canadian Studies, I did not expect the course to be as in depth as it is.
