It set in place the notions and opinions that would describe the continent in the contemporary period.

Proponents argue that such policy encourages herding of ethnic groups, where differences between groups are amplified as opposed to their common identity as Canadians (Kymlicka Par1). It is imperative for a multiethnic nation like Canada to institute mechanisms that facilitate feelings ...

Search and seizure legal procedures draw much controversy because most people have a high level of expectations regarding privacy. This high level of expectations can be traced back to England’s ‘castle doctrine’ wherein the law recognizes the right of a person to defend one’s home or property from unlawful entry (U.S. Government Publishing Office, 1992, p. 1199). Such expectations regarding privacy, however, is not absolute. In fact, the law provides that intrusion on private property can be made lawful under certain circumstances prescribed by the law. There are several provisions under the United States constitution that can ...
