Canadian Culture Culture can be defined as the behaviours and belief characteristics of a particular social, ethnic or age group that is being passed down from generation to generation. Each and every one of the world's many nations is unique in its own way. No two nations are the same in terms of the way they live. Whether it is by how they eat, how they communicate or their style of clothes. Unlike others, Canadian culture is diverse and greatly affected by persons from around the world.…

How important is it to get something that is wanted, even though it is not needed? That is the question that the United States needs to ask itself when it comes to deciding whether or not they should drill for Oil in the Arctic. The United States already produces the most oil in the world, so what makes drilling for oil in the Arctic necessary? It’s because the United States, a fossil fuel dependent country, wants more oil, even though it isn’t needed. The United States needs to face the…

In 1999, the case of R. v. Glaude redefined the interpretation of section 718.2(e) of the Criminal Code. It asked for the judges to examine every other possible alternative to incarceration for Aboriginal offenders and to pay special attention to their unique backgrounds . This section was elaborated on because of the high number of Aboriginals in the prison system and in this analytical piece, I will argue how the Aboriginal people and their supporters have been able to use the law to fight…

able to properly return to their own cultures and were also unprepared to join, engage with or get involved in larger societies (Engel et al., 2012). The horrific environment in which indigenous children lived in truly tainted their worldview. The Manitoba Justice institute states that these schools have begun a cycle of abuse in many Aboriginal families. Since indigenous people have not had proper care or a nurturing home life throughout childhood, as adults, they have not adopted proper…

CRACK! The ice breaks under the Inuit hunter, while he is waiting for his chance to catch a walrus or any other food they can find. He tries to jump out of the way of the newly found hole in the ice, but slips. He swerves with all his might to get out of the way of the hole, and barely made it. Now, the ice in the Arctic is melting very fast, due to all the pollution we are causing, and the Inuit are living there, and have to watch as their home begins to melt. In other places, the Iroquois and…

Pride and Prejudice is a remarkable novel written by Jane Austen that follows the story of how two opposite characters, William Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett, unite despite their differences. The novel has gained a lot of recognition and success that many adaptations were made such as The Lizzie Bennet Diaries created by Hank Green and Bernie Su which also follows the same storyline, but in the form of vlogs uploaded on YouTube, a huge video-sharing website.

as well -- they were seeking better regulation without a complete ban, and, if people on either end of the extreme were a bit more rational, the middle ground approach may have been established much sooner. This approach is best exemplified by the Manitoba Moderation League. Their goal was to establish governmental regulation rather than prohibition (Thompson…

While studying the case R. v Hauser, it is clear to see why it is known to be one of the leading constitutional decisions in understanding the workings of Peace, order and good governments in relation to a power struggle of jurisdiction. The whole case surrounds the question on whether the Attorney General, or the Attorney General of Canada should have the power to control the prosecution under the Federal Narcotics Control Act. It is a battle for powers of jurisdiction in regards to the…

The first attempt was in 1987 when Prime Minister Brian Mulroney proposed amendments to the Constitution with the Meech Lake Accord. After a long process of meetings and negotiation, the Accord died in 1990 after it did not pass the Manitoba legislature. Near the end of the Accord’s life, Robert Malcolm Campbell wrote about the process and why it was unlikely to pass. In his editorial he explained the opposition to the Accord across Canada, how the citizens were not part of the process…
