Parliament made Bill C-51 through the proposal of the sitting prime minister. Stephen Harper, at that time, was the leader of the Conservative Party, which had also had a majority government since the 2011 election (Leduc 2012).

There are Canadian citizens who thought that the Canadian government we have is perfect, citizens who believed that every aspect of the government was truly democratic, and citizens who believe that government could do no wrong. Truly this group of believers has been living a lie. In our Canadian system of government, large aspects within are far from democratic and need to be changed.

He is, in this instance, bound by a strict commandment from "above" (from the towering grown-ups above

Some in the community feel that attempting to win money in a court case is unnecessary and in fact will tear the town farther apart. Nicole’s
