    Meech Lake Accord and Charlottetown Accord: Efforts to Rejoin Quebec with the Canadian Constitutional Family

    Meech Lake accord and Charlottetown Accord can be defined as attempts of Canadian government to make Quebec rejoin the Canadian Constitutional family. P.M Brian Mulrooney wanted that Quebec should symbolically rejoin the Canadian Constitutional family. Therefore, the new premier of Quebec, Robert Bourassa, was asked to outline conditions for such reunion. Mulrooney and premiers met at Meech Lake in April 1987 and agreed on a document that addressed Quebec’s demand and was known as Meech Lake Accord. Prior to this accord government of Quebec “opted out” of the new Charter Of Rights to maximum extend possible under sec. 33 by introducing a “notwithstanding clause” into each of its existing statutes and into every newly acted statues. In addition, the government also refused to participate in new constitutional amendments. Quebec’s this behavior was the result of curbing of its powers by Charter of Rights. Quebec government announced five conditions, these were: (i) Constitutional recognition of Quebec as a “distinct society”. (ii) A veto on constitutional amendments. (iii) Increased jurisdiction over immigration. (iv) participation in Supreme Court appointments. (v) Financial compensation when Quebec opted out of national programs set by Ottawa within provincial jurisdiction. In 1991 a new set of ambitious negotiations began and it was believed that these negotiations would cure everybody’s constitutional discontent as well as Quebec’s. In 1992 the eleven first ministers reached an agreement at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The Charlottetown Accord included all the elements of Meech LakeAccord, and much else besides. For example, regarding the division of legislative powers, it provided for exclusive provincial jurisdiction over forestry, mining and some other areas. It had four main parts : Canada Clause, a Triple-E senate, Aboriginal self-government, and changes to division of powers. The "Canada Clause" set out the values that define the…

    Canada Autonomy Essay

    Canada made an important contribution to World War I. In order for Germany to carry out the Schlieffen Plan, they had to go through neutral Belgium to attack France. As a result Britain came to Belgium’s aid. At this time Canada was tied to Britain’s foreign policy, so when Britain went to war so did Canada. Canada contributed to the war effort in specific battles in Europe, in the air, on land, at sea, and through a war effort at home.…

    Lord Balfour And Autonomy In Canada

    Canada was granted the right to self-government in 1867 but did not have full legal autonomy until the Statute of Westminister was passed on December 11, 1931. Lord Balfour, was the one that proposed all Dominions be conceded full autonomy in their legislations. It allowed these former colonies full legal freedom except in those areas where they chose to remain subordinate to Britain. This means Canada, the colony of Newfoundland, the commonwealth of Australia, the dominion of New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, and the Irish Free State all had established equality amongst Britain. I feel that the statue of Westminster Is one of the best events to happen to Canada because this granted us the freedom to pass our own laws without the consent…

    Sir John A. Macdonald's Unified Canada

    Sir John A. Macdonald is revered as the father figure of Canada, and in his day united various conflicting factions such as the Maritimes and French Canadians - a powerful force in creating a unified Canada. The political quagmire of the 1860s provided no encouragement for Macdonald’s unification goals, as the interests of Canada East and Canada West were paralyzed by incessant political dispute. The French and English blocs in the legislature could not agree on any matter and adding to Macdonald’s discomfort, the prospect of the Maritimes joining grew increasingly bleak. However, Macdonald’s skill as a politician allowed for him to navigate this rough political terrain - forming a strong coalition between Le Parti Bleu under George-Étienne…

    Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms Antidemocratic Analysis

    Since the induction of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Canadians have been all about their “freedoms”. Should women be allowed to get abortions without criminal persecution? The Charter is a liberal document, meaning it sets out fundamental notions about the rights of an individual. But what it comes down it is what rights does a person have, and how are they protected from the arm of the state. The charter was designed by Canadian MP’s, lawyers, and judges.…

    Aboriginal Self-Government In Canada

    The Royal Proclamation of 1763, and the Constitution Act, 1982 that reaffirmed the existing rights of Aboriginals, both establish that it is legitimate for Aboriginal self-government to be located at the national level. A nation-to-nation relationship shows the greatest respect for the sovereignty of the Aboriginal peoples and therefore have the greatest legitimacy. However, it would impossible for Aboriginal groups to make a direct transition from federal jurisdiction to full sovereignty, as they often lack the efficient capacity to self-govern, and there is no clear consensus among the rest of Canadians, about the form that self-government should take.…

    Canadian Peacekeeping In Canada

    The Canadian military as peacekeepers is a very prominent notion of the majority of Canadians. It is what distinguishes Canada most strongly from the United States, and what has become an important aspect of their foreign policy. Peacekeeping, since the conclusion of the Cold War, however, is a myth. This essay will explore the history of peacekeeping, its use as a tool during the Cold War, and Canada's very prominent role in its development and use. Peacekeeping, in the traditional sense of the word, ended in the 1980s.…

    Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

    One charter of Right I feel passionate about is the one that talks about each and every person having freedom to live, to have liberty, and to have security. This charter states, “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.“ This charter protects all citizens of Canada from any cruel and unusual treatment or punishment from others. People who do not treat others to the standards will get punished by the judicial system. Another Charter of right I feel strongly about says, "freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication" Not all counties are lucky enough to have this freedom and so I cherish this one. Because we have this freedom, Canadians are able to be very social and more connected throughout communities. We have the freedom to express our ideas, and I like this a lot because we can be a stronger, more collected country. My final charter I have chosen is the democratic right. This rights enables every individual the right to vote and the right to hold office. (become a politician or an elected representative) Everyone has an equal say in our communities, provinces, and our federal government. We get to choose a leader that will befit us where and when we need him or her. With these Charters I am free to live my life the way I want, and I'm free to think what I want. This article, When rights collide with freedoms talks about what happens when religion and human rights…
