From the first appearance of cannabis in Canada and the advent of current-day dispensaries, to the mental health implications of legal weed and the plight of workers in the cannabis economy, The High North offers a comprehensive critique of the many aspects of legalization.
Cultural pastime, profitable industry, or harmful influence on the nation? Liquor was a tricky issue for municipal, provincial, and federal governments after Confederation. Liquor and the Liberal State traces the Ontario provincial government’s takeover of liquor regulation by in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It explores how notions of individual freedom, equality, and property rights were debated, challenged, and modified in response to an active prohibitionist movement and equally active liquor industry. The drink question became as political as it was moral – a key issue in the establishment of judicial definitions of provincial and federal rights and, ultimately, in the crafting of the modern state.

Booze, dope, smokes, and weed. Mind-altering, mood-changing substances have been part of human society for millennia. Pleasure and Panic reveals how attitudes toward drug and alcohol consumption have always been deeply embedded in cultural fears and social, political, and economic disparities. Contributors to this collection explore how drugs and alcohol intersect with diverse histories, including gender, medicine, popular culture, and business. Pleasure and Panic brings a dispassionate voice to current debates about liberalizing drug and alcohol laws and challenges existing ideas about how to deal with the so-called problems of drug and alcohol use.

Hundreds of commissions of inquiry have been struck in Canada since before Confederation, but many of their recommendations have never been implemented.
Reconciling Truths explores the role and implications of commissions such as Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and particularly their limits and possibilities in an era of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. Whether it is a public inquiry, truth commission, or royal commission, the chosen leadership and processes fundamentally affect its ability to achieve its mandate. Kim Stanton provides examples and in-depth critical analysis of these factors to offer practical guidance on how to improve the odds that recommendations will be implemented.
As a forthright examination of the institutional design of public inquiries, Reconciling Truths affirms their potential to create a dialogue about issues of public importance that can prepare the way for policy development and shifts the dominant Canadian narrative over time.

Автор: Hugh Donald Forbes Название: Multiculturalism in Canada ISBN: 3030198340 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783030198343 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 79190.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Multiculturalism is often thought to be defined by its commitment to diversity, inclusivity, sensitivity, and tolerance, but these established values sometimes require contrary practices of homogenization, exclusion, insensitivity, and intolerance. Multiculturalism in Canada clarifies what multiculturalism is by relating it to more basic principles of equality, freedom, recognition, authenticity, and openness. Forbes places both official Canadian multiculturalism and Quebec's semi-official interculturalism in their historical and constitutional setting, examines their relations to liberal democratic core values, and outlines a variety of practical measures that would make Canada a more open country and a better illustration of what a commitment to egalitarian cultural pluralism now means. Consisting of a series of connected essays-including careful considerations of the works of Will Kymlicka and Charles Taylor-this book provides the first comprehensive account of multiculturalism in Canada.

Описание: Vivre ? nu, ?uvre d’une ?quipe de recherche multidisciplinaire, explique comment la surveillance s’accro?t—presque sans qu’on y prenne garde—dans toutes les sph?res de notre vie. Nombre de Canadiens sont conscients que les organismes du gouvernement s’adonnent ? la surveillance de masse en utilisant les donn?es t?l?phoniques et ?lectroniques, mais peu d’entre eux savent ? quel point des formes courantes de surveillance ont envahi leur vie priv?e. Aujourd’hui, nous ne pouvons pas marcher au centre-ville, assister ? un cours, payer par carte de cr?dit, prendre un avion ou faire un appel sans que des donn?es soient capt?es et trait?es. O? va cette information? Qui l’utilise? Qui y gagne et qui y perd? Le projet « La nouvelle transparence » a voulu analyser la multitude de moyens employ?s par les secteurs public et priv? pour recueillir, v?rifier, analyser et ?changer des renseignements sur des citoyens ordinaires.
Apr?s des ann?es de recherche, les auteurs ont d?gag? neuf grandes tendances dans la pratique contemporaine de la surveillance, qui collectivement soul?vent des questions pressantes au sujet de la vie priv?e et de la justice sociale. Est-ce que le prix ? payer pour utiliser les m?dias sociaux et d’autres moyens de communication ?lectronique est la perte de notre emprise sur nos renseignements personnels? Ou devrions-nous plut?t nous m?fier des syst?mes qui nous rendent plus que jamais visibles, et donc vuln?rables, aux yeux des autres? Cet ouvrage vise ? informer les d?cideurs, les journalistes, les groupes de d?fense des libert?s civiles et les enseignants sur l’?tat actuel de la surveillance au Canada. Mais surtout, il cherche ? sensibiliser les citoyens sans m?fiance aux pratiques de surveillance omnipr?sentes et largement invisibles qui les entourent.
