  • Mark Furey Attorney General of Nova Scotia 1690 Hollis Street P.O
    Mark Furey Attorney General of Nova Scotia 1690 Hollis Street P.O. Box 7 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2L6 Dear Mr. Attorney General, We write to you on behalf of the NDP Caucus to ask that you direct police forces in Nova Scotia to end the practice of street checks immediately. We understand “street checks” as incidents where individuals are arbitrarily stopped or detained by the police and/or when personal information is collected and logged by the police outside of an investigation into a specific incident of crime. Our Caucus, legal experts across the country, and members of the communities affected have identified that this practice is disproportionately exercised on African Nova Scotians and other racialized peoples, causes distress to the individuals involved, and has greatly eroded confidence in our police forces. Nova Scotia has an opportunity to mitigate further harm now by immediately establishing a moratorium on the practice of street checks. Section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees all citizens security against unreasonable search and seizure. It is the opinion of our Caucus that the practice of street checks and the subsequent collection and storage of personal data is in violation of S.8. While calls to end the practice have been met with the suggestion that ending the use of street checks would impede effective community policing, this does not need to be the case. Police officers have recourse to use warrants for searches and arrests, as well as investigative detention related to a crime. An end to street checks would not prevent officers from speaking with residents informally in the course of their duties, but it would prevent the collection and retention of data from citizens who have not committed a crime and are not under investigation.

More specifically, it attempts to evaluate the usability of data from Twitter as a measure of sponsor engagement in public events. Given that corporate and government sponsorship of Pride festivals is a pressing ethical concern for LGTBQ communities, this study takes the 2018 Halifax Pride Festival as its case study and performs both quantitative and qualitative analysis of the tweets of sponsors. Analyzing the Twitter data of sponsors of this event reveals some patterns of engagement and identifies the most engaged and informed sponsors. Twitter (www.twitter.com), the popular local scale.

It is essential thatthe CKC have the opportunity to weigh in on significant law amendments that directly affect thousands of CKC members and their purebred dogs. We ask that you please consider the following: • There has been No stakeholder input from local kennel clubs orthe Canadian Kennel Club— a recognized Canadian authority and advocate for the health and welfare of purebred dogs—despite the fact that such changes would directly affect thousands of CKC members and their purebred dogs. • The use of the word " Custodian" versus " Owner: The definition of "Custodian" includes six options as descriptions of custodian. The option that is most concerning is c) any person who has possession of the animal. This change will strip owners of the rights that come with ownership. • Proposed Section 20 (2) [Current act Section 23(8bc)]: In the current act, thissection falls under the heading "When an animal is found in distress".
