Canada itself is often viewed as one of the more welcoming and tolerant countries, however a large portion of our population, and in fact the colonization of our country, rests on the back of oppression and how we have perpetrated this against indigenous peoples of Canada.

breather hockey. Culturally, Canadians celebrate all facets of hockey and quickly ignore the dark side of the game.

so, at his father’s urging Mickey grew up being a multi sport athlete. In order to play hockey every fall, his dad required him to play other sports in the off season. Mickey played baseball every year through his senior year in high school and football as a freshman and sophomore in high school.

The NWMP: Development of Early Canadian Law Enforcement The creation of the North-West Mounted Police in 1873 was the "ultimate expression of the federal government’s control over policing" (Johnson & Griffiths: 1991, 29). The North-West Mounted Police (NWMP), predecessors of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) were created by the government of John A. MacDonald to police the prairies. Prior to the development of the NWMP, the only form of law enforcement came from employees of the Hudson
Canada's copyright law is one of our hardest laws to enforce. The reason the police have so much trouble enforcing this law, is due to technology. This law is very easy to break, and once broken, it is very hard to track down violators. So although some form of a copyright law is needed, the one we have has, too many holes to be effective.

Pierre Trudeau Pierre Trudeau, former Prime Minister of Canada, was once described as "A French Canadian proud of his identity and culture, yet a biting critic of French-Canadian society, determined to destroy its mythology and illusions". He has also been identified as "A staunch, upholder of provincial autonomy holding the justice portfolio in the federal government".

Laws Against Assisted Suicide in Canada "This is a very special day for me. It's the day of my release, the release from suffering, the release from the torment of my body." Those were the words of the very first Canadian to die through the process of doctor assisted- suicide, with the doctor being Jack Kevorkian. His name was Austin Bastable, and in the last few years of his life he became a crusader for the right to die with dignity. It has been only in these last few years, with
