Extractions: Don C. Barnett OBJECTIVES 1. Students will learn that Canada's parliament is composed of elected political parties. 2. Students will learn the concepts of "official party status", "majority-minority", "political spectrum", "constituency", "regionalism", and "popular vote". RELATED WEB SITES 1. Check the titles under the "Teaching Ideas" section Social Studies of this web site and click onto the title about women participating in Canadian society. This teaching plan contains ideas and statistics on the numbers of women in the federal House of Commons. PROCEDURES 1. Provide students with a brief introductory overview of Canada's federal electoral process. Review concepts such as the House of Commons, Senate, Constituencies, etc. Note that Members of Parliament (MP's) are elected to office. 2. Present students the following chart on the number of elected seats by political parties in the House of Commons. 3. Ask introductory questions such as: How many seats in the current House of Commons? Who is the MP for our constituency? How large is our constituency? Where is the general center of our constituency? 1997 House of Commons Political Party # of Seats % of Popular Vote Liberal 155 38 Reform 60 19 Bloc 44 11 NDP 21 11 Progressive Conservative 20 19 Independent 1 2 4. Ask students to analyze the information in the chart. Which party forms the "government"? Which party is the "official opposition"? Is it essential that everyone who runs for office must belong to a political party? (no there is one independent Member of Parliament).
Emery Smokes Out The Canadian Parliament No arrests as crowd of 400500 people share massive joint of four to five hundred people gathered on Parliament Hill in Ottawa to share a one-ounce http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/3104.html
Extractions: by Reverend Damuzi (26 Sept, 2003) No arrests as crowd of 400-500 people share massive joint Marc explains the legal situation A crowd of four to five hundred people gathered on Parliament Hill in Ottawa to share a one-ounce joint with Marc Emery as he delivered a message of pot freedom to Canada's politicians on Thursday. As Emery explained before the protest, his message can be boiled down to "Marijuana is legal, let's keep it that way." He asked protestors to bring signs to that effect and wasn't dissappointed when he showed up on parliament's front steps to find many carrying caringly-crafted home-made protest signs emblazoned with his message. The support of the crowd was tremendous. Passing around the 25 gram joint Emery's point is that because of recent court decisions in Ontario, PEI, Nova Scotia and BC - which found possession laws defunct, invalid and non-existent - the new so-called decriminalization law will be a step backwards. Especially since hidden within the new law are provisions to double jail time for growers and no clear agenda to stop giving criminal records for small possession offences. As Emery explained the hard facts to onlookers, and the hour closed on 4:20 PM, the crowd swelled. The massive bomber that he had waved around during an exhilarating round of speechmaking had caught the attention of his audience, which pressed so closely that it is doubtful a cop could have penetrated the throng.

Extractions: Canadian Parliament Passes Homosexual Hate Crime Bill Threatening Freedom of Speech OTTAWA, April 28, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - This afternoon the Canadian Senate voted 59-11 for final passage of homosexual hate crime Bill C-250 which places the undefined term "sexual orientation" into Canada's already contentious hate crime legislation. The vote was recorded and a list of those who voted for and against the bill will be available on Hansard. The new provision in the criminal code could readily open up prosecution of individuals and groups who express views considered by courts to be "publicly inciting hatred" In order to be found guilty of an indictable offence under the code, which carries a penalty of up to two years in prison, a person must communicate statements, in a public place, which incite hatred against an identifiable group in such a way that there will likely be a breach of the peace. Legal experts consulted by LifeSiteNews.com confirmed that the language in the legislation is loose and open to widely varying interpretation.

Extractions: The Canadian House of Commons has voted overwhelmingly in support of the Kyoto Protocol on cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The 195-77 vote was non-binding, but Prime Minister Jean Chretien had already signalled his intention to ratify the agreement by the end of the year if it was approved by parliament. It's really excellent, a good indication of the wishes of the country and the Canadian people The vote came despite opposition from several of Canada's more powerful provinces, who fear the treaty could harm the country's economy - and followed days of delay tactics by the official opposition party, the Canadian Alliance. Canada's decision is in stark contrast to the position of the neighbouring United States, where President George W Bush has rejected the accord. Fierce opposition Prime Minister Chretien and his governing Liberals have been determined to push through Canada's ratification of Kyoto for some time, says a BBC correspondent in Toronto.

CBC News:Canadian Parliament Recognizes Armenian Genocide canadian parliament recognizes Armenian genocide Last Updated Sun,25 Apr 2004 162116 OTTAWA The House of Commons has reversed http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2004/04/21/canada/armenia040421
Extractions: Last Updated Sun, 25 Apr 2004 16:21:16 OTTAWA - The House of Commons has reversed a long-standing policy and passed a resolution denouncing the Turks for committing genocide against Armenians in 1915. The vote passed easily, 153-68. The motion said: "That this House acknowledges the Armenian genocide of 1915 and condemns this act as a crime against humanity." Armenian Canadians hold a vigil after the vote For decades consecutive Canadian governments have dodged the sensitive issue by calling what happened in eastern Turkey a "tragedy," stopping well short of referring to the events as "genocide." In 1915, during the First World War, Turkish troops put down an Armenian uprising. Armenians say about 1.5 million people were killed by the Ottoman Turks, during a brutal eight year campaign. Turkey has always fought attempts by Armenians and international human rights organizations to have the events declared a genocide. Previously, Ankara has warned countries contemplating similar action that there would be negative consequences. In some cases business contracts have been held up or denied. In 2001 France backed the Armenian case. Ankara responded by freezing official visits to France and temporarily blocking French companies from competing for defence contracts.
