In Defence Of Macdonald's Constitution, Eugene Forsey Oct 1976

In Defence Of Macdonald's Constitution, Eugene Forsey

Dalhousie Law Journal

To-night I propose to sing the praises of the Canadian Constitution of 1867. I call it "Macdonald's Constitution" for two reasons. The first is that, though of course it was the work of all the Fathers of Confederation, Macdonald, incontestably, was the chief architect. The second is that what I am concerned to defend is the basic document Macdonald left us: Macdonald's Constitution as distinct from Haldane's; Macdonald's Constitution before it was defaced and ravaged by the Judicial Committee of the British Privy Council; before it was distorted by those wicked Stepfathers of Confederation.

Trusteeship And Canada's Indians, L. C. Green May 1976

Trusteeship And Canada's Indians, L. C. Green

Dalhousie Law Journal

Trusteeship and Canada's Indians It has been suggested recently by some of those concerned with putting forward claims on behalf of Canada's Indians that Canada stands in the position of a trustee, and the contention has been made that this relationship is not merely one of municipal concern, but that the international trusteeship system extends to them. In so far as the North American Indians are concerned, the idea of trusteeship may be traced back to the comment of Chief Justice Marshall in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia:1 [The Indians] are in a state of pupilage; their relation to the United …
