25. CANADIAN CONSTITUTION canadian constitution, ENGLISH COLONIAL LAW AND ETHNOCENTRISIM. Cannon shoots4 Click image to download. WHAT IS THE canadian constitution? http://www.shannonthunderbird.com/canadian_constitution.htm

CANADIAN CONSTITUTION, ENGLISH COLONIAL LAW AND ETHNOCENTRISIM WHAT IS THE CANADIAN CONSTITUTION? A venerable system of fundamental laws, policies and principles that describe how a government or state is organized and will function. Establishes the powers of the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government, Allocates powers to different levels of government, such as federal, provincial, and municipal. Indicates the rights of each citizen in relationship to each other and to the government, i.e., the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982). Outlines how the Constitution is to be amended. The Canadian Constitution is made up of a nucleus of written , systematically arranged rules/laws. However, there are also unwritten rules, called Conventions. Conventions could also be described as general agreements or longstanding customs on the usages and practices of social life. Both the Nucleus and the Conventions have been interpreted by the courts, and their decisions have lead to Constitutional case law. Needlesstosay, overtime a vast labyrinth of decisions have been made, making the Constitution a multi-facted document and rather outrageous document in terms of its compilation. (see below) Canada's Constitution is extremely complicated because it was not created from a single draft, like the constitution of the United States. The Canadian Constitution is a quilt, that has been put together piece by piece, with some pieces more elaborate than others (somewhat like the federal tax laws!).

THE CANADIAN CONSTITUTION I have been interested in the Canadian Constitution ever since Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau started the repatriation process in 1980, the unilateral repatriation in 1982, the continuing controversy thereafter, the ill-fated 1990 Meech Lake Accord and especially the Charlottetown Accord Referendum on Oct. 26, 1992. Most recently we have been subjected to the Bloc Quebecois in Ottawa, the Parti Quebecois in Quebec and the narrowly defeated Quebec Referendum on Oct. 30, 1995. Below I have listed the six most relevant documents that I have written on the subject: = Letter to Schreyer, Trudeau, Romanow = Letter to Clyde Wells CONSTN92.DOC = Canadian Constitutional Proposals 1992 = Summary of Constitutional Proposals 1992 = Letter to Joe Clark = CANADIANS ALL! Constitutional Proposals The Constitutional Conference Committee spearheaded by Bert Brown in Calgary has recently suggested the creation of Constituent Assemblies across Canada to draft an appropriate constitution. Although their website is not yet available, the contact person is Elaine Johnson (Email: ejohnson@freenet.calgary.ab.ca). I hope that my material will be of interest to this Committee and to Canadians, in general.

Previous Article Next Article FNPI Search Home ... Year List The Patriation of the Canadian Constitution: Not an Auspicious Occasion SASKATCHEWAN INDIAN MAY 1982 v12 n04 p10 April 17, 1982 was proclaimed as a day of mourning for the aboriginal peoples of Canada. It was the day the British Crown irreversibly betrayed every treaty, proclamation, agreement, trust and promise made with the Indian Nations of Canada. To take a share in our land the British Crown promised to protect Indian lands and to protect Indian jurisdiction on those lands, to protect the Indian way of life. Britain soon forgot her promises and the trickle of settlers became a flood. For the last three years Chiefs, Indian organizations and leaders and ordinary Indian people have written to the Queen to inform her that the treaties were endangered by a new settler government constitution. She resolutely refused to respond or to meet us though graciously accepted our gifts to her when we visited her homeland. When the Queen of Great Britain came to our homeland to proclaim the settler government's constitution, there were no similar acts of courtesy to the Indian leaders. There was no acknowledgement of so many letters to her from the Indian people outlining just how the treaties and the Royal Proclamation would no longer be safeguarded in Canada's Constitution. She could not pretend we no longer existed: the two-month "Indian debate" in Westminster precluded that. So she just pretended that we were happy in the new arrangement that would sanction one of the most massive land grabs in history.

On September 15, 1980 the UBCIC, in reviewing the position of the Federal Government on Patriation of the Canadian Constitution, discovered that the Indian people would lose all of their aboriginal rights should this occur. At the 12th Annual General Assembly, the Chiefs passed a resolution that "the convention give full mandate to the UBCIC to take the necessary steps to ensure that Indian Governments; Indian Lands, Aboriginal Rights and Treaty Rights are entrenched in the Canadian Constitution" (October 14-17, 1981). The aboriginal people of BC decided to take action. T T wo trainloads of people made up of Band members and Chiefs, boarded trains which left Vancouver, British Columbia, on November 24, 1980 bound for the nations capital, Ottawa. The trains made stops along the way, picking up more passengers and making presentations to the communities and the media. Approximately 1000 people arrived in Ottawa to give speeches to the communities and lobby the government officials. A small delegation continued on to the United Nations in New York.

30. MACHRAY REVIEW #2: Charter Of Rights & The Canadian Constitution The Relation of the Charter of Rights to the canadian constitution. The Canadianconstitution of 1867 conforms to neither the American nor the European type. http://www.prayerbook.ca/machray/pbscmr2b.htm

The 1992 Eugene Forsey Memorial Lecture The Relation of the Charter of Rights to the Canadian Constitution. By Dr. James Doull D That the Charter of Rights and Freedoms has priority over our fundamental political institutions is a mistaken dogma. Historically the state is antecedent to definite rights of individuals in relation to it. In British constitutional history, from the Magna Carta rights have had the form of limiting the powers of a monarchy already existing. In the development of the British constitution an indeterminate relation of monarchy came by degrees to he a government of the people, by the people and for the people. What the American example illustrates may be shown by a more general consideration. There are tribal forms of human life where government is rudimentary, and rudimentary likewise is the sense of an individual independence from tribal solidarity. States in a proper sense suppose that individuals have been cast from this first paradise and then in the separation subjected to a unified power, that is, to a state. There have been and are in human history states against which individuals have no rights but are confined to some particular labour, as for example, the Indian castes. The first type has its purest expression in the American constitution. The Americans first wrote their Constitution - then added a Bill of Rights to it. As the state was thought to he from a contract among individuals already free to pursue their private good, they were assured the continuance of this freedom within the state. The state thus instituted is not however equivalent to society but has an independent operation in which it might oppress the rights of individual members. These rights were therefore assured in a series of amendments to the constitution. Society, that is, the collectivity of individuals free to pursue their private interests, appears in this view as both antecedent to the state and consequent to it: prior to the purported contract expressed in the Constitution, subsequent in the amendments appended to that same Constitution.

by Clayton White Hunters challenge Canadian Constitution The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) has embarked on a court challenge to prove Canadians have a Constitutional right to hunt. The court challenge has been sparked by Ontario's closure of the spring black bear hunt. The closure, as explained by the Ontario government, has no foundation in conservation principles or safety, but was implemented because of "ethical reasons". This of course begs the question, "Whose ethics?" The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the Charter) guarantees that all Canadians have the right of freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression. Consequently, the Supreme Court of Canada has said that we cannot exclude human activity from guaranteed free expression on the basis of content or meaning being expressed. While it may surprise and even shock you, on this basis, the Supreme Court of Canada has said that expressions such as child pornography and hate mongering are protected under the Charter. Hunting, as a core value of many Canadians (particularly in the North) could surely then be deemed expressive as well.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. Fundamental Freedoms 2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: freedom of conscience and religion; freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other means of cmmunication; freedom of peaceful assembly; and freedom of association.

Canadian Journal of Political Science Revue canadienne de science politique XXVIII: 4, 1995 Bagehot, the Crown and the Canadian Constitution DAVID E. SMITH Abstract: Through his writings, Walter Bagehot gave order and meaning to the institutions of parliamentary government. The English Constitution (1867) acknowledges the Crown as centrepiece but relegates it to the category of symbol. Institutions, Bagehot said, were ``dignified'' or ``efficient'' according to their constitutional function, and the Crown was the apotheosis of a dignified element. By contrast, the author argues that the Crown is an integral part of a practical form of government in Canada, and advances as proof three areas of Crown influence: representation, information and participation. The discussion concludes by noting the relevance of the Crown for the study of Canadian federalism. The English Constitution WLU Press homepage CJPS homepage

Jeremy Webber. Montreal and Kingston: McGill-Queen's University Press 1994. Pp. xii, 374. $44.95 cloth, $19.95 paper Reviewed by Janet Ajzenstat, McMaster University For decades Canadians have been attempting to reform the Constitution, broaden political consensus, and strengthen national unity. Yet unity, consensus, and confidence in our institutions continue to elude us. The breakup of the country remains a possibility. As Webber argues, in the very act of reaching for a new Canadian identity we have watched it slip away (176). Why? What has happened? What can be done? Webber does not write as disinterested scholar, content to fiddle while Canada burns. In 1989-90 he was active in the Friends of Meech Lake, a group that attempted to rescue the accord from the fumblings of the Tory government. Reimagining Canada revisits the Friends' argument for asymmetrical federalism and constitutional recognition of Quebec's distinctiveness from a broad, theoretical perspective. Part one tells the story of the constitutional process from the early 1960s. Little in this section is startlingly original. The important and fascinating aspects of the book emerge in part two, where Webber sets out a novel theory of Canadian political identity and community.

Law of Nova Scotia The Nova Scotia law consists of the constitution, the common law, federal statutes and regulations and provincial statutes and regulations. Constitution The Canadian constitution is only partly written. The principal written parts affecting Nova Scotia are three British statutes, namely, (a) the Constitution Act, 1867 (originally enacted as The British North America Act, 1867 ) which established Canada with, in the words of the preamble to that Act, "a Constitution similar in Principle to that of the United Kingdom"; (b) the Statute of Westminster, 1931 which made Canada and the other British dominions independent nations; and (c) the Canada Act 1982 (including, as one of its schedules, the Constitution Act, 1982 ) which patriated the amendment of the Canadian constitution and established the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms The largely unwritten constitution of the United Kingdom is not reproduced in the Constitution Act, 1867 Common Law and Statutes Upon the establishment of Nova Scotia as a British colony, it received the common law and statute law of the United Kingdom, except to the extent that that law was inherently inapplicable or unsuitable to Nova Scotia. Upon the first meeting of the Nova Scotia Legislature on October 3, 1758, the "received law" of England was fixed and unaffected by subsequent changes in the English law. It could be amended, repealed or added to by the Nova Scotia Legislature.
