Canadian issue, because Canada is fully responsible for protecting its citizens. It is highly unfair for one group of people to be targeted; a group making up 4.3% of the Canadian population.In 2015 alone there were over 200 missing Aboriginal women. The number of missing aboriginal females although lower than before still seems very high and the Canadian government seems to be very lackadaisical to act. It is very shocking and sad that this has to be discussed before the government realizes it is its
The Canadian magazine dispute In the late 1990s, the Canadian government instituted a taxation measure aimed at protecting domestic magazine producers. The dispute was triggered by the publication of a Canadian edition of Sports Illustrated that was produced in the U.S.A. but printed in Canada, thereby circumventing existing regulatory provisions. The United States instituted and won a World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement case against the tax, after which a series of alternate measures
Looking at Canada and how it is now as a whole, it is not a likely thought that would come to your head everyday and think, where would this country be today if it wasn't for its leaders that started it. Sir John A MacDonald and Sir Wilfred Laurier were two major leaders that contributed their time to build Canada. As they suffered through many conflicts and challenges that they had to over come. As with MacDonald's dispute with the pacific scandal and bringing along colonies under one government, which
political climate in the western hemisphere has altered the judicial system in Canada in numerous ways. Since the post-war era we have seen a push for globalization and neoliberalism and have been reassured consistently by the leaders on the global stage that this is essential for our world economy to thrive.

communities and homes to attend the residential school system set up by the government and operated by the Christian churches (Government of Canada, 2015). The purpose of these residential schools was to isolate Aboriginal children from their families and assimilate them into the dominant culture (First Nations Study Program, 2009). As the history of the residential school system unfolds it becomes evident that the Canadian Government attempted to eradicate the Aboriginals culture and lifestyle. The residential
Financing the war in Afghanistan is a complex and multifaceted issue where the Canadian government must decide the most efficient and effective approach to disperse its resources; in terms of monetary funding and providing supplementary goods and services. The Canadian government must act, think and approach the issues faced in Afghanistan in an ‘economical manner’, meaning, the Canadian government must “deal with the production and distribution and consumption of goods and services and their management”
This paper will discuss why social rights should be human rights. Poverty, capitalism, and government will be the motives used to explain why social rights should be considered human rights and be enforceable in a court of law. Although the costs of social rights would result in higher taxes, the benefits would far exceed the costs. It would greatly reduce the majority of poverty and crime as well as improve overall health within our society. Various aspects of social rights will be examined which
marked the beginning date of the Oka Crisis in Quebec Canada. It lasted until September 26th 1990 resulting in one fatality of a local police officer. The violent clash was triggered by something as simple as a golf course extension and as complicated as native burial traditions. It had drawn world attention, catapulting native land rights into the mix. The Oka Crisis is just one of many conflicts between the Aboriginals and the Canadian government.

the victory of the Vimy Ridge battle in April, 1917 formed the nation, as it was the first time that all four Canadians army divisions fought together as a single unit.
