Indictable offence

create a target market for their products by giving baseless scientific justification about the effectiveness of their new inventions. I am of the view that playing with the emotions of innocent people for the sake of couple of bucks should be an indictable offence. The book allowed me to gain deep intuitive understanding of the technique called “Detox Foot Bath”. The technique has been promoted…

Freedom of expression, set under section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, is one of Canada’s most valued rights in the bill of rights of the Constitution. It is has paved the way for the society in which thirty-five million people reside today. With this level of influence and admiration, it is truly a fundamental right. However, many ground-breaking cases have illustrated the need to limit freedom of expression. A prime example is the landmark case that took place in 1990…

Over the past years, there has been a great deal of discussion surrounding the topic of legalizing marijuana. Whether you approve of the idea or not, there is a new view of marijuana in prospect, and the liberals predict that around the time of July 1, 2018, legalization of marijuana will occur (Cochrane, 2017). Although it has been illegal since 1983, Goltz & Bogdanov (2015) say that around 43 percent of Canadians admit that they have used marijuana at some point in their lives, and 53 percent…

Every country has its own laws and ways of dealing with crime. In the United States, we are used to the way our laws work and how the courts function. Other countries are used to the way their laws work, however, when you compare the U.S. with other countries there are many differences that are interesting to look at. Many countries struggle with certain crimes that we may not have a very big problem with. You could also face serious jail time in other countries where the U.S. may only give a…

It is a well known fact that taxes were introduced into Canada in order to support the soldiers fighting overseas during World War I. However, the charging of taxes did not end when the war did. Canada continued to charge its citizens taxes after the war and until the present day. Taxes and the laws surrounding them affect almost every single person in the country of Canada, whether it be incorporated companies, organizations, legal representatives or the average working person. The Canada…

Remand custody, or pre-trial detention cases have been vastly increasing over the last ten years. Individuals who have not been sentenced yet are in remand custody, which is when an individual is in custody but awaiting their trail or sentence (Griffiths, 2014, p.179). Previously inmates had the larger number in prisons; however, the remand population has climbed and on most cases has outnumbered convicted inmates (Weinrath, 2009, p.355). Through the Justice of the Peace or a judge, individuals…

Diana Pretty definitely has the entitlement to choose death as should anyone who’s suffering is unbearable and at the end stages of life. Diana Pretty is 43 years-old so it isn’t like she’s a child who hasn’t experienced or lived life, she was able to enjoy some of her life before she was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, which she’s at the end stage of, “MND is a progressive and incurable neurodegenerative disease that is relatively
rare” (Kent, 2012, p. 48). This being said, she has a…

Sexual assault is an involuntary sexual act in which a person is coerced or physically forced to engage against their will, or any non-consensual sexual touching of a person. This is stated under assault in section 265 of the Criminal Code. Unfortunately enough, it is very common with one in four North American women being sexually assaulted during their lifetime. Sexual assault is a top tier issue in Canada. The terrifying part of the issue is that 80% of assailants are friends and family of…

Is it just to give unelected judges the ability to make moral and political decisions on behalf of a community, despite the fact that the community has no active role deciding whom these judges are? Jeremy Waldron is one of many adversaries of judicial review; subsequently he does not think that unelected judges should be permitted to make political or moral decisions on behalf of the community (Waluchow Constitutions as Living Trees 534). I disagree with Waldron and side with Wilfred Waluchow,…
