Is The Health Star Rating System A Thin Response To A Fat Problem? An Examination Of The Constitutionality Of A Mandatory Front Package Labeling System, Mariette Brennan

The University of Notre Dame Australia Law Review

The Commonwealth of Australia has begun the implementation of a new front package labelling system for packaged food products. Despite calls from various health groups advocating for a mandatory front package labelling system, the Commonwealth opted for a voluntary system that relies on the goodwill of individual companies for its implementation. In discussing Australia’s obesity epidemic that has given rise to a need for front package labelling, this paper examines the constitutionality of mandatory front package labelling requirements. It argues that as the Commonwealth Government has the requisite jurisdiction to make the system mandatory it should forego voluntary implementation in …

Threading Together Abuse Of Process And Exclusion Of Evidence: How It Became Possible To Rebuke Mr. Big, Steve Coughlan

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

This article argues that the objections to the Mr. Big investigation technique have been apparent since the very first use of it over a century ago, but that the law has not had the tools to give legal form to those objections until quite recently. The article traces the development of the abuse of process doctrine (from “none at all” to “forward-looking only” to “backward-looking as well”) and of exclusion of evidence (from “none at all” to “only for Charter breaches” to “for non-Charter breaches as well”). Based on that discussion, it argues that it is only in the past …

Journal of Family Strengths

The cognitive reveals the mental processes and strategies readers and writers employ to construct meanings through the linguistic and multimodal dimension. Not just a linguistic and cognitive process, the sociocultural lens examines literacy use within social and cultural contexts.

Safeguarding The Longue Durée: Environmental Rights In The Canadian Constitution, Lynda M. Collins

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

In the modern era, environmental degradation is one of the most significant threats to human well-being and therefore to human rights. Biologically, the right to a viable environment supersedes all other human rights, including the right to life itself. It is not surprising, then, that the vast majority of nations with modern bills of rights have incorporated some form of environmental right or obligation into their constitutions. Respect for the environment is a fundamental value in Canada yet our constitution is silent on environmental rights and obligations. This article will argue that a limited right to environmental protection can nonetheless …

Unsettling: The Flawed Us Refugee System, Kanyakrit Vongkiatkajorn

Capstones

The US has had a long commitment to resettling refugees, and currently funds one of the largest third-country resettlement programs through UNHCR in the world. However, an examination of US's refugee resettlement program shows that the program often does not live up to its promises, and has long ignored systemic issues. This report takes a specific look at the experience of newly-resettled Syrian refugees, and includes memos by the author that was submitted for a larger group project.
