The Indigenous groups in Canada have been inhabitants on these lands long before any other group arrived. Yet, these groups have been and are still disadvantaged in the political sphere, continuing to be severely underrepresented in Canadian governmental institutions. The government of Canada needs to implement governmental arrangements that will meet the unique needs of Indigenous groups, with responsiveness to their particular political, historical, and social circumstances (Indigenous Affairs

I’ve weighed all my options, and I think that Canada has the stronger economy, the better form of government, and the more comfortable way of living. In a new country, I would need to find a good-paying job fast. In Canada, there are more hospital beds than doctors. This would mean that I would have more patients and I would get paid more. In Canada, the average pay for doctors is about $225,500 (The Globe and Mail). I would be earning more in Canada than in Spain, $2,872, or in Argentina, $5,000

Canada and Quebec's Conflict Canada and Quebec have always been in conflict from the confederation of 1867 to the Supreme court judgement on the secession of Quebec in 1998. Quebec faces several challenges in terms of constitutional relations with the rest of Canada. Quebec is seeking a special status to preserve and protect its culture and language, while the rest of English-speaking Canada accepts the view of provincial equality.

Some very “un-Canadian” things about Harper are; His “attack on science”, sexism, and racism. image When the Harper government took control of the country in 2006 they started to control and even prevent the free flow of scientific information across Canada, especially the type that highlighted the consequences of industrial development. This was done two ways: through silencing

non-entrenched quality where “no special procedure is required for modification of the constitution” (http://www.constitutionnet.org/what-entrenchment) where, in the UK, constitutional changes only requires a simple majority in the Houses, yet an entrenched constitution, such as the US require a “supermajority” for constitutional changes. This means that in the UK a majority government has the ability to amend the constitution passing simple legislation, providing the conditions for lots

intentionally decentralized Canada. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council did fail in keeping in line with what the founders intended for Canada and may have even intentionally set out to decentralize the Canadian government, but this does not mean it had a negative impact on Canada. There are a number of cases that were seen by the JCPC that played a vital role in the decentralization of the Canadian government, yet

The Adaptive Nature of Canada?s First People The Canadian people have always prided themselves as champions of democracy and are universally respected for their record on human rights. Although holistically this could be argued, especially when compared to the United States and other Western states, the record concerning Aboriginals, both past and present, has yet to live up to their self-set standard. Defined simply as anyone who traces his/her ancestry back to pre-European colonization, there
