The proposed “Fair Elections Act” legislation will make it difficult for citizens to vote by muzzling Elections Canada and by being biased in favor of the Conservative part.

Currently, approximately close to 5 million citizens of the United States that represent close to 2 percent of the United States population is denied the right to vote because of felony conviction.

The term tribunal holds several definitions. It may be likened to a court while others may choose to describe a tribunal as a committee tasked with the role of overseeing particular obligations.

First, international tribunals tend to be independent of the countries that create them. This increases confidence from member countries in the neutrality of the tribunals and consequently their ability to make impartial decisions on matters that affect member countries. When a dispute between two or more countries is settled in one ...

Qualitative Research

Introduction
The field of social sciences is primarily concerned with making sense of the world around us. The question of how to study the social world, however, unleashes a number of intense philosophical debates. These debates chiefly revolve around ‘ontological’ issues, denoting ‘what is there to know about the world’. Ontological debates concern themselves with questions about whether the social world contains truths independent of human observation or whether it is human interpretation that gives meaning to phenomena. Hidden in this debate is the tension between qualitative and quantitative research methods and the tension over the use of numbers ...

Introduction

Incorporating a company, much like it is to incorporate any other business, requires following a certain legally enforceable procedure. The procedure of incorporating a company is quite long compared to that of having a sole proprietorship registered. The difference in the complexity of the incorporation procedure comes as a result of the fact that a company, unlike all other forms of business, is a legal entity. A legal entity is a body with legal personality. A company is said to be having legal personality in the sense that, legally, a company is recognized as a person having rights similar to those of a natural person (Brough, 2005). It ...
