    Prop 51,gives more money to charter schools but Californians already pay $2 billion each year on state school bonds therefore, If this proposition is passed this could cost an additional $500 million each year, money the state can’t afford. What truly matters is the attendance rate, if more students are present then schools get more money without having to increase taxes. People should vote no on Proposition 51 for one reason and that is taxes because California is already in debt and paying back taxes is a major issue.The annual budget is more than the schools combined, these schools are required to pay back or they may lose the education for students such as books,desks, chairs, and most of all, facilities, and schools have to do funds and…

    Human rights and freedoms are basic standards within a western, democratic society that are provided to entitled civilians, without government intervention. However, these liberties must be taken into consideration along with societal order and national security. In the situation that public safety may be at risk, the government must restrict these liberties for the common good. The case study of the Hutterites was a significant illustration of the Canadian government’s beliefs that the goals of society prevail over the freedom of a group of individuals. Since 1974, the Albertan government passed a legislation requiring all drivers of motor vehicles to hold valid licences that bear their photographs. Until May 2003, this condition could be…

    Whenever someone states the country of Canada most people from other countries think of cold weathers, Mounties and people living in igloos. The reality is far from being that with there being warm summers and police with much better vehicles other than a horse. The country has a good government and a good justice system. Like most systems, the justice system in Canada is far from being perfect. There are multiple occasions where people are convicted of committing a crime that they truthfully did not do. One of that being Guy Paul Morin a Canadian citizen who was convicted for the murder and rape of his 9 year old neighbor Christine Jessop just for being weird. People can learn from Guy Paul Morin by him showing that the justice system has…

    When I was first brainstorming about who will be affected positively or negatively by Proposition 47, the first thing that came to me was budgeting or financing of the proposition. When I searched for that the first link that I came across said that it roughly costs about $50,000 to incarcerate somebody “California’s annual costs to incarcerate an inmate in prison”. When I heard that I was trying to think of that math equation and it came to a massive expense and finding that out it is a reasonable argument that someone could use against proposition 47. When I made myself search for the pros of proposition 47 so that I could inform someone fully about this proposition. Soon after I was searching I found a strong article for proposition 47 which provided good arguments for it.…

    Undeniably, Bill C-51 is necessary to fight against terrorist acts, especially because no one in the world should have to live in fear and worry about their safety. However, even though this bill protects Canadians, it should not do so by violating the rights and freedoms of the people who are being protected. In order for this bill to fulfill its purpose of protecting Canadians without infringing on their rights, it requires improvements that eliminate the imperfections of this bill. The best improvements for this bill is to honour and respect the privacy of citizens and to find an alternative that does not violate the rights and freedom of anybody.

    In 1982, Pierre Trudeau brought the new Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (See Appendix 1). The charter desired to protect individual rights by regulating laws that unjustly discriminate or minimize human rights. It allows that everyone despite of colour, race, or religious beliefs hold certain major rights that no government can get rid of without matter. With the signing of the Charter of Rights and Freedom, human rights became an essential and permanent part of our Canadian identity. Trudeau introduced regulations to build up gun-control laws, and to reduce limitation on abortion, gambling, and homosexuality. He introduced those legislations since he believed in individual freedom. Trudeau believed that freedom was the key for Canada to grow because everyone would be accepted the way they are. In 1971, Trudeau imposed the Canadian Multiculturalism Act where he…

    The first part of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that we choose for our project is section 8: Search and Seizure. This section guarantees that everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search and seizure. There are two parts to this section, one being unreasonable search and the other being unreasonable seizure. Unreasonable search is when your property, belongings, body, is searched without a warrant or without a probable reasoning to believe that the person would need to be searched. Unreasonable seizure is different; it implies that a person’s belongings have been taken from them by a public authority without the persons consent. Many government activities fall under this law, in all the law helps to secure people’s rights to privacy and it keeps government officials from abusing their power. Many may wonder why search and seizure are under the same section. The reason why they are is because they often fall hand and hand. Seizure often only occurs following a search, and searches only occur for the reasoning of wanting to seizure the person’s illegal belongings.…
