    Self - Guided Walking Tour MANITOBA LEGISLATIVE BUILDING, GROUNDS, MEMORIAL PARK AND MEMORIAL BOULEVARD Page 1 The Manitoba Legislative Building The Manitoba Legislative Building is a priceless monument in the true sense of the term, since it is unlikely that it could ever be reproduced today. Construction of the neo-classical style building began in 1913, based on a collective vision to erect an imposing structure “not for present delight nor use alone… but such as our descendants will thank us for.” As the primary physical focus for Manitoba’s sense of its history and identity, it is natural that a number of statues and plaques commemorating notable people, events and historical themes are located on the grounds. With this leaflet as your guide, we invite you to take a walk through our history. A Walking Tour Through Manitoba’s History Welcome to your journey through the richness of Manitoba’s history offered by this tour of the scenic grounds of the magnificent Legislative Building. We hope that it will help you to understand the story of the development of Manitoba and to celebrate the cultural diversity which makes up Manitoba’s mosaic. Begin your journey through time by touring the statues and plaques, numerically listed in this guide. Use the map provided to locate the sites on the grounds. Your tour begins at the front of the Legislative Building and takes a counter-clockwise route around the grounds and concludes at Memorial Boulevard. (Please refer to maps on Pages 18 and 19) Page 2 Your journey begins at the Queen Victoria Statue.

Some other interchangeable terms for ride sharing services are transportation network companies and mobility services providers.

  • A Proposed Hate Communication Restriction and Freedom of Expression Protection Act: a Possible Compromise to a Continuing Controversy
    A Proposed Hate Communication Restriction and Freedom of Expression Protection Act: A Possible Compromise to a Continuing Controversy EDWARD H. LIPSETT, B.A., LL.B. s has been widely observed, the “hate speech” provisions in various federal A and provincial laws unduly fetter freedom of expression on matters of public interest and may well be counter-productive to the legitimate goals which they pursue. The Criminal Code1 provisions, as they entail criminal convictions and possible imprisonment, are obviously the harshest. However, s. 319(2) dealing with “wilfully promoting hatred” has a strict mens rea (intention) requirement, and s. 319(3) provides several defences. The “kinder and gentler” human rights provisions, contained in s. 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act2 and various provincial (and territorial) human rights laws, do not require intention as a prerequisite to liability, and lack the defences referred to in s. 319(3) of the Criminal Code. Therefore, their “censorial sweep” is far wider and can cover or threaten materials far less extreme or dangerous than that covered by the Criminal Code, and pose an arguably greater threat to freedom of expression. Yet international law requires Canada to prohibit certain forms of “hate speech,” and there may be some materials that are so harmful or dangerous that they need to be restrained. Most of these materials would not involve the impugned ideas alone: rather, the ideas in conjunction with other factors (such as incitement to unlawful actions or the methods, circumstances or likely consequences of their expression). This paper, after conducting a brief overview and general critique of the current legislative and jurisprudential scheme, offers some ideas for reform in this area of the law.

  • Capital Cities Program
    CANADA Capital City - Ottawa Tree - Maple tree, officially recognized as a national emblem in 1996. Animal - Beaver, officially recognized as an emblem of Canada in 1975 Motto - “From sea to sea” The current flag was adopted February 15, 1965. The name “Ottawa” is aboriginal in origin but there are varying explanations of exactly where it came from. It is generally thought to be the Anglicized form of the name of an Aboriginal people living west of Ottawa, variously referred to as Outauac, Outaouais, or Outaouit. The Ottawa people were great traders and the river may have gotten its name from the fact that it was the river used by the Ottawa people, or perhaps the river leading to the nation of the Ottawa. Ottawa, Canada's Capital, sits on the border of the province of Ontario in central Canada. It was made capital of the British colonial Province of Canada in 1857 and was reaffirmed as the national capital at Confederation in 1867. In the 20th century, a much larger Capital Region was created to serve as a frame for Canada's Capital. Since 1969, Ottawa and Gatineau (two cities that face each other across the broad Ottawa River) and the surrounding urban and rural communities have been formally recognized as Canada's "capital area." In the 1840s and 1850s, the location of the capital had been a matter of dispute. It had moved between Kingston, Montréal, Toronto and Québec City, at great expense and with great disruption. The rivals could not agree on a permanent capital, so the matter was deferred to the young Queen Victoria.
