History 1960 Canadian Bill of Rights 1972 Alberta Rights 1977 Canadian Human Rights Act 1982 Charter of Rights And Freedoms
Do not Copy How our Constitution can be amended Some amendments require resolutions of the Senate, the House of Commons, and the legislative assemblies of at least two thirds of the provinces (7) that have at least 50% of the population of Canada as a whole. These include amendments in relation to the powers of the Senate and the method of selecting Senators, and the extension of existing provinces into the territories
Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms (pg 97) �Creates a country that has fairness, tolerance, bilingualism, and multiculturalism. �There are only two rights in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that are not guaranteed for non Canadian citizens: 1) The Right to vote 2) The Right to leave and enter Canada freely
Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms �Is part of Canada’s Constitution �All laws must be consistent with the constitution �Canadians can challenge laws that restrict their rights �The government can restrict rights if it is necessary to keep Canada a free and democratic country.
However, the Charter also recognizes that even in a democracy rights and freedoms are not absolute. For instance, freedom of expression is guaranteed, but no one is free to yell “fire” in a crowded theatre, to slander someone, or to spread hate propaganda. Therefore, Parliament or a provincial legislature can limit fundamental rights, but only if that government can show that the limit is reasonable, is prescribed by law, and can be justified in a free and democratic society. The interests of society must be balanced against the interests of individuals to see if limits on individual rights can be justified.

A story of Child Labour Thoughts? Ideas? Solution? What needs to change? Mrs. Mc. Cracken’s deep thought of the day: The beliefs and values that drive a society influence the quality of life that society has. If people are not valued the government has no reason to help them. It’s a sad world we live in if, individuals are not valued. As a human race we need to ensure humans are valued but we do not to value what every individual does. People are valuable but their contributions to society is not necessarily valuable.
