Canada's Influence On Canadian Law

As we all know, there are a lot of laws in Canada.For example, the “Foreign Investment Review Act”, the “Charter of Rights and Freedoms”, the “Aboriginal Law” and so on, all belong to the Canadian laws.In my opinion, Canada has too many laws simply because of the lack of universality, the ignorant of the differences between the impact of law and morality, and also the limitations which existed in its laws.

Feudalism is a historical social construct where the King awarded parcels of land to the nobleman who contributed to the military (Ex, train knights, fight). As a result, each nobleman controlled their land accordingly to the animals and peasants/vassals (farmers) they were in charge of. However due to the absence of an organized law system, each nobleman held different judgments so inconsistency in penalties and sentences were prevalent. It was later brought to the King’s attention to the unfair and sometimes cruel treatments citizens endured from their nobleman and also realized that since the King didn’t deal with every law case anymore, they no longer agreed to the monarch system. This is modernly known as the Magna Carta. Feudalism was vital in shaping Canadian laws as no one is above the law today and citizens legally must be treated equally. Noticeably, military has always been relevant in history and eliminating

After the strangling claws of the Indian Act were felt, the Canadian government began to issue more laws that intruded with the aboriginals lives and took away their rights. The first of these was the “Potlatch Law” (Hanson, n.p.). It banned potlatches and other ceremonies of the aboriginals, all for the purpose of forcing the

Different ethnic backgrounds immigrate to Canada making it a very multicultural society. Immigrants coming to Canada have made it progress to a more multicultural society, making other nations believe that this is the case, however this does not include native societies that have been living in Canada for the longest period of time. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how Aboriginals live in Canada. This paper argues that aboriginals in Canada are not treated with the same equality as non-aboriginals livening in Canada, even though Canada is known as a multicultural society. By studying the history of Aboriginal settlement in Canada

Now that we know the teacher was asking for a paper, we could begin the actual outline of the paper and its contents. The purpose of the paper was to complete an analysis of a poster, and in this analysis the student was to consider the rhetorical choices made in a poster. The purpose of an

Every system needs checks and balances, and the legislative system is no exception. One house may have passed legislation too quickly, or certain concerned groups may feel they did not get a chance to be heard. That's why Canada's Constitution states that both the Senate and the House of Commons must approve bills separately in order for them to become law.

Since the birth of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms there is growing scrutiny of the Supreme Court of Canada’s role in the intertwinement law and politics. Individuals are noting that courts under judicial review have the capacity to shape law to meet the evolving needs of society (Sharpe, 2003:1). This paper will analyze the emerging issues witnessed in the study of Canada’s judiciary system. The first issue being explored is the concept of “Judicial Activism”. This paper defines “Judicial Activism” with accordance to Britannica Encyclopaedia online as being a phenomenon in which judges take a direct policy-making role, and seem more than willing to strike down legislative or executive actions. (Roosevelt, 2015:1).

History of law offers us an understanding how the law evolves and change with time and place. When we try to interpret the various roots of Canadian law, different questions arise-Why the laws illegal in the past are legal now? Can we understand the past and the current law based on the traditional roots of law, such as a statute, case law, custom, and books of authority? Alternatively, there is something else one has to look into to interpret the roots of Canadian law adequately. What can we imagine about the future laws in Canada? Will it be the same as we face it today or will switch with time? Does a careful examination of the social, political, economic sources of Canadian law help us understand the current and the past, most specifically,

The political cartoon titled “the Emigrants Welcome to Canada”, illustrates how many foreign laborers were deceived by the promises that persuaded them to move to Canada. The Canadian is wearing a thick fur hooded coat with matching bottoms. In addition, he is also wearing snow shoes to prevent himself from sinking into the snow. The water thermos at his side and his mittens is a good indication that he is extremely prepared for the harsh weather. In contrast, the foreigner is wearing a fashionable hat that will not protect his head nor his ears from the wind, a thin coat, and silk stockings. The foreigner’s feet is submerged in the snow and his hands are not covered with gloves. The artist of the political cartoon emphasized how unprepared

The Assembly of First Nations, also known as the AFN, is the only national advocacy organization in Canada that represents over 900 000 people living in 643 First Nations communities across the country. They are authorized to make changes in the criminal justice system to help with the needs of First Nation peoples. The aim of this organization is to protect and advance the aboriginal and treaty rights and interests of First Nations in Canada, that’s including health, education, culture, and language. The AFN was formed in 1982, because of movements to restore chiefs as the voice of First Nations in the Canadian government. In the late 1970s, First Nations raised the idea for self-government, and fought for their

Common law in Canada is based on precedent, which mean that common law uses previous events or situations to guide court decisions going forward. Precedent is ‘binding on other equal or lower courts in the same jurisdiction as to its conclusion on a point of law, and may also be persuasive to courts in other jurisdictions, in subsequent cases involving sufficiently similar facts’; therefore, common law is not based on interpretation. Common law is created from precedent alone. Common law is used in areas like contract law, tort law, and property law. There may be written statutes in these areas of law; more often than not, the judge’s decision is based on precedent rather than a statute.

This report explores and investigates about the First Nations that inhabit Canada. In particular, this report looks into, the way they lived, which includes the way they got food, and their modes of transportation as well as their shelters. What rights and privileges they had, challenges they faced in the in the mid-1800’s to the early 1900’s, that includes the Numbered Treaties, Indian Act and Residential School and finally a comparison between Indigenous people before and Indigenous people today. Indigenous people were the first group/nation to inhabit Canada, hence the name First Nations, however, they can be broken down into six distinct groups based on their geographical location. The groups are Woodland First Nations, Iroquoian Fist Nations,

It is agreed that the Canadian government shall help fight against the irrelevant curricula among the Ojibwa first nation so that it will reflect the histories, the way of life as well

Indigenous peoples who were suffering a lot in the past in Canada, now it is from their rights to have the freedom to practice their culture and traditions on the Canadian lands. These rights that should some Aboriginal peoples of Canada hold as a result of their ancestors' longstanding use and occupancy of the land. The rights of certain peoples to hunt, trap and fish on ancestral

Many laws in Canada first begin as bills in the House of Commons. In the Commons Chamber, Members devote most of their time to debating and voting on bills. The Chamber is also a place where Members represent constituents' views, discuss national issues and call on the government to explain its
