For many centuries, laws and rights have been society’s foundation for nations all around the world. Laws are rules that people are made to follow by the government; a right is something a person has that should not be taken away from them. Both play an important role in determining the order of society in a nation and over time, each country developed their own constitution. As early as the Magna Carta and as recent as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, countries began…

The Indian act has an especially damaging effect on women. This paragraph focuses on the effect of the Indian act on the Indian women. The majority of person who lost their status are women’s.

framework for the rights of undocumented migrant children in Canada. Daniel Garcia was an eighteen-year old when he was apprehended by police in Toronto and deported from Canada in 2011 (CITE). As the analysis will show, this case exemplifies the problems of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (2001) and sheds lights on how the law breaches children’s rights as defined by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Being born and raised in Canada, I have always seen myself as Canadian first, and everything else second. Coming from an Iranian background and the child of Iranian immigrants, in high school I was often labelled the “brown kid” or the “Iranian boy.” Although not the most derogatory of terms, they were a constant reminder that I was not the same as the rest of the students. My family didn’t celebrate Christmas, even though it was the only thing people talked about in December. Instead, we…

pictures Canada. But just like people, not every individual is purely good and therefore not every country is either. Canada has committed torturous acts against different cultures and their own people. Torture before the mid-18th century had been geared towards physical acts of violence while torture past that point has been geared towards psychological acts of violence. The latter use has been hard for society to come to terms with. This paper will describe how Canada used residential schools…

reforms made in society, but the most important one is the Movement of women in Canada. For many years Canadian women were suffering because they did not have equal rights as men, which of course is unfair because it was primarily based on gender. Some women dedicated their lives to fighting for women to have the rights they deserve. Some of the rights that women never used to have included; having the right to vote, being able to decide either or not they want an abortion or decide on their own…

In this case (Gosselin vs Quebec) we witness one of the first poverty cases under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to reach the Supreme Court of Canada. Gosselin not only representing herself in this case, but also representing a class of social assistance recipients. Those social assistance recipients below the age of 30 are heavily misunderstood and the majority, stipulates a negative stigma toward those within that class. It is through this evident stereotype we see unpersuasive…

violation of human rights, and both conditions lead to the punishment of the offender befitting the crime. In this process of achieving justice, those highly impacted by these wrong actions are often ignored; the battle between the offender and the Crown often makes the victim, a mere spectator. Meanwhile, the Canadian Criminal Justice System is continuing to do its best in addressing the dissatisfaction victims feel towards the authorities. Study of literature shows that although victim rights…

The legalization of the practice of euthanasia has many negative affects as it goes against many doctors’ beliefs, degrades the value of human life that Canadian law protects, and will possibly be abused by both doctors and patients. The legalization of euthanasia would however…
