Aboriginal Lands And Resources: An Assessment Of The Royal Commission's Recommendations, Kent Mcneil
Aboriginal Lands And Resources: An Assessment Of The Royal Commission's Recommendations, Kent Mcneil
Articles & Book Chapters
The Aboriginal peoples have been living on the land in what is now Canada and deriving their livelihood from its natural resources for thousands of years. Elder Alex Stead, at a public hearing held by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) in Winnipeg on April 22, 1992, put it this way: "We are so close to the land. This is my body when you see this mother earth, because I live by it. Without that water, we dry up, we die. Without food from the animals, we die, because we got to live on that. That's why I call …
Freedom Of Expression And Choice Of Language, Leslie Green
Freedom Of Expression And Choice Of Language, Leslie Green
Articles & Book Chapters
This paper argues that sound principles of freedom of expression protect an individual's choice of which language to speak. They do so, not to guarantee against mistranslation, but rather to ensure that speakers are able to reach their intended audiences and, more importantly, to allow for the expressive value of speaking a particular language as a symbol of ethnic or political identification. The example of Quebec's Charter of the French Language and the resulting litigation is considered in some detail.

“Mechanical Arts And Merchandise” Canadian Public Administration In The New Economy, Harry W. Arthurs
“Mechanical Arts And Merchandise” Canadian Public Administration In The New Economy, Harry W. Arthurs
Articles & Book Chapters
The "New Economy", with its attendant trends and consequences, presents a number of distinct chal- lenges to Canadian public administration. The key features of the New Economy - changes in technol- ogy and the social organization of work, globalization and regional economic integration, and shifts in the boundary between the state and civil society - de- mand a reconsideration of the ways in which we have previously thought about bureaucracy, government, and the role of the interventionist state. These changes in our political economy have profoundly destabilized Canadian public administration and require us to find new ways to cope with …
Corruption And Organized Crime: Lessons From History, Margaret E. Beare
Corruption And Organized Crime: Lessons From History, Margaret E. Beare
Articles & Book Chapters
The intention of this paper is to serve in part as a warning to the international community concerned about corruption, to keep the focus based on the critical analysis of empirically verifiable information. In ways similar to how theorists spoke about organized crime in the 1960's and 1970's, articles today attempt to refer to corruption as if there were one agreed upon definition. However, like the concept “organized crime”, the term “corruption” involves diverse processes which have different meanings within different societies. Corruption (or a focus on corruption), may be the means toward very diverse ends and each may have …

Aboriginal Rights In Canada In 1996: An Overview Of The Decision Of The Supreme Court Of Canada, Kent Mcneil
Aboriginal Rights In Canada In 1996: An Overview Of The Decision Of The Supreme Court Of Canada, Kent Mcneil
Articles & Book Chapters
Measured by judicial decisions, 1996 was by far the most significant year for Aboriginal rights in Canada since 1990, when the Supreme Court of Canada, in R v Sparrow, first examined the effect of recognition and affirmation of Aboriginal and treaty rights in section 35(1) of the Constitution Act 1982. The Sparrow decision acknowledged that section 35(1) provides unextinguished Aboriginal rights with constitutional protection against legislative infringement, unless the infringement can be justified by a strict test, outlined below, which the Supreme Court created. However, that decision did not address the vital question of how Aboriginal rights are …

Aboriginal Nations And The Canadian Nation, Shin Imai
Aboriginal Nations And The Canadian Nation, Shin Imai
Articles & Book Chapters
In the winter of 1763, Nipissing and Algonquin messengers were dispatched across Indian country. They carried strings of wampum and spread word of an important conference to be held at Niagara Falls. Two thousand chiefs gathered the next summer. There were Mic Mac from the east coast, Cree from the north, Iroquois from Lake Ontario, Lakota from the west—twenty-four nations in all. They were met by William Johnson, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, who presented wampum belts and gifts to negotiate a peace between the British and the First Nations.
