Pros And Cons Of Bill 60

Canada and the issue of racism in society has been an issue for many years. Recently, our country has created new laws or altered old ones to prevent discrimination that exists in society today. In this paper, I will argue that only through recent years Canada has tried to battle discrimination through the creation of the Charter of Rights and Freedom, the modification of the Immigration Act and the creation of the Human Rights Act in Canada. First I will provide background information about discrimination, racism and prejudice. Secondly, I will discuss the creation of the Charter and Rights and Freedom and the creation help deplete discrimination towards minorities. Also, the alteration of the Immigration Act in Canada gave minorities the opportunity to be equal. Then, I will discuss the Human Rights Act and how those modifications are leading Canada in the right direction for a lesser

Quebec is a distinct nation within Canada and it is important for Quebec to remain this uniqueness by continuing to be a dominant francophone culture. With the decline of French population Quebec fears a loss for their language, culture and identity. Quebec has enforced a rule in terms of immigration to protect their culture. For example, Herouxville, Quebec has issued a code of standard to inform immigrants that they must leave their culture, ethnicity, and language behind and must adapt to Quebec culture. Quebec is struggling to maintain their provinces French language and culture. If Canada’s population continues to grow from immigration the government may enforce laws to lighten up the immigration law within Quebec allowing all minorities.

The proposal of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms also plays a part in the formation of a more respectful country. The Charter protects a wide variety of individual rights and guaranteed collective rights. It respects human rights by allowing Canadians to have equal opportunity and to be treated equally without discrimination.

Proposition 57 would allow non violent felons a shorter sentence and be released for early parole. The prison system right now is being so over flowed at least one inmate a week dies from not being able to receive the proper medical care. By proposition 57 the prison would be less crowded and not over populated. Additionally, Proposition 57 allowed inmates to earn credits for good behavior and educational or rehabilitative achievements. If the population in the prisons go up there would be mandatory releases so there would be random releases without the individual doing anything but through the proposition there is order and incentive for them to be good in prison. Also judges would not determine the releases.

Missouri House Bill 1468, removes the need for an individual to have a permit for a conceal-and-carry firearm. This bill was sponsored by Eric Burlison, a Republican, who is the current representative for District 133 in the Missouri House of Representatives. Before this bill, any resident of Missouri who is at least 19 years old, or any military member who is at least 18 years old, must apply for a permit that costs $100 as well as complete an eight-hour long firearms safety course (Bliss). Even with the addition of this bill, it is still forbidden to carry a firearm in the following places: schools, governmental buildings, private property that restricts firearms, and many other places. It also is illegal for domestic violence offenders

The first part of the second article of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom, one of the 1982’s Constitutional Acts, states that everyone has the fundamental right to “freedom of conscience and religion” (“Constitution Act, 1982”, part 1). However, the line separating individual religious rights from the State’s religious neutrality is a subject of debate in Quebec. On October 18, 2017, the Quebec Liberal government introduced Bill 62 that aims at conserving Quebec’s religious neutrality, but also requires individuals to remove face-covering veils while giving or receiving public services (Bill 62, ch. III div. II). It is however unethical for Quebec’s government to impose a restriction on certain Muslim women’s religious and

I strongly support H.R. 1602 that will allow a nurse to object taking on more patients, without repercussion, when meeting the minimum nurse-to-patient ratio per unit per hospital’s approved staffing plan by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Minister of Justice Robert Douglas Nicholson originally introduced Bill C-51 in the House of Commons on November 1st 2010. The purpose of the bill was to modernize and update Canadian criminal laws by facilitating collaboration with foreign and domestic law-enforcement agency to address organize crime and monitor terrorist activity (Valiquet, 2011 p. 5-13). Following the parliament shooting in Ottawa, the bill was passed by the senate and received Royal assent on June 18 2015 (Sokolyk, 2015 p. 41). Supporter of the bill and CSIS director Michel Coulombe, recently stated that the bill “have been used nearly two dozen times since last autumn to disrupt terrorist threats” (MacCharles, 2015).

In recent decades of Canadian history, Canada’s social and political change has rapidly formed visible minority and majority groups- Canada has had formally entrenched a constitution, withstood two attempts by the Quebec’s provincial government to secede from the federation, and undertaken a radical shift in immigration policy that tripled the visible minority population. These changes were accompanied by a policy agenda that defined Canadian society as a bilingual and multicultural and by legal frameworks that ensure all individuals are treated equally before the law. A fundamental issue infringing Canadian society has been the protecting the rights of minorities of a democracy. I believe that a nation have equal treatment and opportunity under the law and that minority rights must be protected to ensure that all citizens are able to fully participate in the country 's democratic institutions. However, this is true to a certain extent, in some cases it is inappropriate to have excessive rights as “a visible minority” as such. This will be investigated through three examples of minority groups: religious/cultural individuals, aboriginals and French language speakers by answering the question “How far can the rights of minorities be protected in Canada before they infringe on the rights of the majority?”

While there are certainly still challenges to be addressed, Quebec society is now more inclusive, diverse, and just, and I believe that commitment to gender equality is related to this improvement. The last central value of modern Quebec society is the primacy of the French language, and here, too, I believe that Quebec society was less healthy before this value was committed to. Although the vast majority of Quebecers spoke French,

The Ideology of Meritocracy in Canada Inequalities exist all around the world in terms of wealth, workforce and social class. Social inequality plays a vital role in socioeconomically dividing the community into ranks of wealth, income, race and gender. These disparities have become the reason as to why there are income and power issues between men and women. Canada has exceedingly proved itself to be a nation built on multiculturalism, but inequalities in workforce and racial differentiation has been a defining feature from the beginning. While Canada strides on being identified as a diverse nation, social stratification is expressed along the lines of race and inequalities in workforce and in this paper, I will address how the ideology of

Not everyone like the superintendents are for Senate Bill 1. Some people oppose the bill because they do not like it. There are many reasons why people would vote for the bill along with many reasons that someone may oppose the bill too. But the ultimate goal of this bill is to “raise each one of Illinois’ 860-plus school districts to individual adequacy targets—or the amount of money needed to properly educate every student—through increased funding from the state” (Masterson). But getting to this point has a lot of controversy. One of the major factors that people may not like this bill is that they don’t want to bailout the Chicago Public Schools. Chicago Public Schools are the only school district in the state providing

The Canadian Human Rights Act 1977 was the basis for the charter that later came around. This act states that people in canada are protected from discrimination and harassment from employers or services from the federal government. It protects canadians from harassment and discrimination based on age, race or sexual orientations. This Act was changed into section two of the charter under fundamental freedoms. Some Acts like this one where really strong however did not stand strong alone. Once added to the charter and backed by the constitution had a lot more weight in Canadian

I am in favor of proposition 63 because it will regulate the current ammunition in stores and have the consumers go through more precautious steps to purchase ammunition in California. The proposition prohibits the selling and storing of high-capacity magazines in any home or store in the state. Moreover, the people and businesses looking to sell ammunition will require a one year permit from the California Department of Justice in order to sell their ammunition. Additionally, consumers will also be required to have a four year permit from the California Department of Justice in order to purchase ammunition. This permit will be checked by the dealers and verified by the department to check if the buyer can purchase the ammunition. Most of all, people purchasing ammunition will have been required to have had a background check before they could purchase in store. Ultimately, the purpose of proposition 63 is to ban high-capacity ammunition and prevent ammunition and firearms to fall in the wrong hands in California.

In Ohio there are many problems that people come encounter with. Some of those issues may be minor while others are life threatening. Regardless if the issue is minor or major, people would like to see a change. One issue in particular that has become an important issue to the state of Ohio is the misunderstanding of an imitation firearm to an authentic one. To fix this problem, House Bill 16 was introduced to the committee to regulate imitation firearms. This bill is to protect those who are innocent and those who are in an authoritative position to not mistake it for an authentic one. In many cases imitation guns have been the cause of deaths, especially to younger children who are the ones that have it in possession. This is issue is not only a problem in the state of Ohio but all over the nation. It easy to mistaken the two guns, one real and the other fake. So in doing so, this bill that is currently still introduced to the committee should be taken into action and enrolled. However, with doing that can bring about some disadvantages, especially with big business and manufacturers that create these guns, but the argument of each citizen's life seems to be more in a reasonable favor.
