In an airport there are many unspoken rules. Since there are many dangers that go along with flying such as hijacking a plane, a bomb on the plane, or something that will effect the customers flying on the plane. These topics should not be brought up in an airport. If the air port security hears a person talking about a type of weapon or a danger to the flight the security has rights to question and possibly not allow you to enter onto the plane. Think of the nightmare that would cause to be questioned as a terrorist and feel like a criminal just for bringing up a simple subject of speech.
In addition, the States had socially influenced Canada greatly, in terms of culture. Canada did gain some political independence, hampered by the fact that Canada depended on the United States for much of its social and economic success. Canada’s prime minister, Mackenzie King, did not follow the regular rules set by Britain. Instead he refused to send Canadian troops with Britain to invade Turkey in 1922. (Cranny p.55) Normally, when Britain went to war, Canada would automatically be at war as well, but King took a big step in not following orders from the mother country.
Whether I like the guy or not, that’s not the issue. Canadians have a right under the Charter of rights under our constitution. You could be the most vile person on earth but if you are a Canadian citizen you have certain rights.” Knowing this, it is easy for Canadians to demonize Khadr all these years because he is a Canadian citizen. A country should protect their citizens, as soon as they are in danger. It is wrong that it took Canada many years to actually take action for Khadrs rights and protection.
Alienation is an emotional factor that could have extreme negative effects, on top of alienation the government does not protect them with the same human rights given to citizens of the nation. Immigrants have multiple acts such as the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Universal Declaration of Human Rights on their side but many governments do not enforce them. Citizenship includes rights, responsibilities and freedoms, such as in Canada The charter of Rights and Freedoms protects all individuals and enforces the rule of law. The charter should apply to all
I agree when they do things such as putting a camera on a stoplight so if one runs a red light they’ll get in trouble and others will be safe. Sometimes the government just does very unreasonable things. In many airports in America, for “security” reasons, they have two new ways to check one for airplane safety. It’s your choice, naked x-ray scanners or government molestation. The x-ray full body scanner not only violates privacy but also is harmful to citizens.
RECOMMENDATIONS 5-6 REFERENCES 7 iii As people sit in the busy airport waiting on flights or to pick up arrivals, most will notice planes take off and land, people running around with bags, janitors cleaning up messes, agents yelling out times and delays. A closer look might allow you to view the instinctive fear in many passengers who are waiting their turn to board their flights for take off. For most of these people, they are trembling with fear and anxiety of flying or that of actually crashing. It is hard to pin point where this fear comes from since statistically flying is very safe and easy. Many fingers point to instances where highly televised accidents have happened one such is that of a Tupolev 154 and a Boeing 757.
Not only do full body scanners violate a citizen’s privacy and work inefficiently, but prejudice accusations and the cost of these machines also play an important role in whether these are necessary. Opponents of full body scanners have many vital points to why full body scanners are wrong; one being the fact that it violates an individual’s privacy. Defenders of the scanner state that it is just a reflexive image of the traveler, that it is seen only by that airport official, and then it is disposed, keeping this information private. The Electronic Privacy Information Center and the American Civil Liberties Union said that the scanners will violate Americans’ privacy rights and the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Body scanners that peer through clothes are deployed in airports across the country.
Gun Violence in Canada; The Person Holding the Gun Meghan Hadfield ENG1100 B October 17th, 2012 Gun violence in Canada has recently been on a decline, but that is no reason for anyone to sit back and ignore the issue. Many people say there are easy solutions to this problem, such as changing the laws but just because you take the gun out of a hand, does not stop the shooter from being the type of person who is capable to shoot a gun. The past year’s tragedies experienced in Toronto involving gun violence have lead many to look for a solution to solve this issue. Due to factors such as the media, treatment at home and the illicit drug economy, it is more than likely that guns are not the main problem in the unfortunate situation of an event involving gun violence. Gun violence in Canada is not caused by guns themselves, it is caused by the person behind the gun, the mind behind the gun.
However, the whole plan and execution of it was very different from how the movie portrays it. The movie portrays the CIA agents as the masterminds behind the plan while the Canadians were just there to house the six Americans. In reality, however, the Canadians were the main ones taking action. Ambassador Ken Taylor took charge of the situation and even had 6 Canadian
Should airport security be toned down? According to Washington Post writer Derek Kravitz, “Transportation Security Administration calls it the new reality of airport security” (Kravitz). Numerous people do not use air transportation because they feel that some of the security measures are too personal and a violation of their space. People are naturally not comfortable while being patted down by a random person from head to toe. Do people understand why there are so many security procedures at airports?
