What does the duty to consult look like? There’s no legal definition of what needs to happen to be able to call something consultation, so what does it look like in B.C. right now? Has it changed in the last 10 years? What do legal, political and Indigenous scholars say about the duty to consult? What I’ve heard from at least one chief in northern BC (part of Treaty 8) is that consultation is so inadequate, he feels it would be better not be in a Treaty. Because A) they don’t have resources to…

Canada is one of the four countries in the world that have maintained a federal structure for more than 100 years (the rest are The United States of America, Switzerland and Australia). Like other true federations, Canada has a constitution that gives the legislative body of each of its federated states the exclusive power to adopt and enforce laws in its territory on a large number of subjects. Among the subjects that the Constitution attributes exclusively to "provincial" legislatures are…

that his party, the Conservatives, would win. However, he did not take into account the fact that there were numerous structural and institutional constraints, which consequently resulted in a loss for his party in the recent 2015 federal elections . Canada is a parliamentary system, which is a democratic government that is dictated by the legislature (the parliament) alongside the executive power, making the legislature and the executive powers interconnected. Thus, with this system, there are…

failed because there were more men in the fort so they made a George Washington retreat. The militiamen made their own fort called Fort Necessity but also forced Washington to leave to Ohio Territory. Later on, with the war, the battleground became Canada, and the struggles were fierce. Lake Champlain became a main battleground. In 1757, the French seized Fort William Henry, at the southern end of the lake. The fort was important because it gave the holder command of the Hudson River and…

Elfuclana has a unique and interesting history compared to other countries. It is located 132 miles east of the coast of Ellis Island. The founding of this country all began with the Revolution of the Elves, also called The Elfolutionary War. It dates back to December 24th, 2076. It was the day before Christmas in 2076. Santa is, and has always been, the communist dictator of the North Pole. The elves have had to put up with his cruel ruling for long enough. One elf, named Tasol Elfuclan,…

Western Expansion of Canada The expansion and development of Canada during the 1870’s and 1880’s there were 3 main groups (The Metis, Ontario settlers and the First Nations.) They were each empowered or disempowered in their own way. I think that the Metis were disempowered. The Canadian government took away the their land to give to the settlers, and all the government would give them was 560 000 hectares which when you think about it is not a lot compared to what they had. Even though they…

Canada is such a diverse nation, its physical diversity, people, natural resources and global connections all demonstrate this. Latitude, evils of society, Alberta oil sands, and the UN affects Canada physically and culturally. Physically, latitude affects the climate. Culturally, the evils of society affect the way people think about Canada. However, Canada does have some positive factors; such as the oil industry and being apart of the UN. The oil industry is one of Canada’s top industry and…

level. Even in the 21st century, it is astonishing and unfortunate how backwards world leaders can be with their line of logic. Although it is tempting to fight guns with guns, violence should not be ‘Plan A,’ and this is the whole essence of Burman’s article. I agree with Burman on the grounds that Canada should “return to diplomacy” by stopping its military action and welcoming refugees because otherwise, our nation accomplishes nothing. There are three types of metrics which can be connected…

Equipment Air hockey requires a couple pieces of specialized equipment, including a table, two mallets and a puck. The table includes a large smooth surface for play, which includes some kind of machinery underneath that forces air to the top through several tiny holes. This allows the puck to glide effortlessly over the surface, allowing for fast action and quick gameplay. The table is surrounded by a rail to keep the puck from flying off the table. At each end is a slot which serves as a…

Now that a semester has passed, we should return to one of the very first questions of the course: is Québec a distinct society, and if so, how and why did it develop this difference? Several themes persisted throughout our studies that sought to answer these questions, including that of la survivance. This ideologically loaded phrase describing survival by means of French, Catholicism, and a farming vocation related back multiple times to other concepts. With regards to language, the…
