  • Yes, Your Tweet Could Be Considered Hate Speech,Ontario's
    “Equitable Compensation” for a Breach of the Crown’s Fiduciary Duty Towards First Nations The Crown has a fiduciary relationship with Indigenous Peoples. What remedy do Indigenous Peoples have when the Crown breaches its fiduciary duty? The Supreme Court of Canada recently addressed this question in Southwind v Canada, which involved a breach that occurred nearly 100 years ago. In February 1928, the Governments of Canada, Ontario, and Manitoba entered into an agreement to dam Lac Seul in order to generate electricity for the growing city of Winnipeg.[1] The governments planned to raise the water level of Lac Seul by ten feet, which they knew would cause “very considerable” damage to the Lac Seul First Nation (LSFN), whose Reserve was — and still is — located on the southeastern shore of the lake.[2] When the dam was built, “[a]lmost one-fifth of [LSFN’s] best land was flooded and … [LSFN’s] members were deprived of their livelihood, robbed of their natural resources, and driven out of their homes.”[3] LSFN was not consulted on either the project itself,[4] or on the adequacy of the $50,000 compensation package that Canada and Ontario paid into the LSFN’s trust account in 1943.[5] As a general rule, the Crown owes a fiduciary duty towards an Indigenous group when it “assumes discretionary control over a specific Aboriginal interest.”[6] The Crown breached its duty in the Lac Seul dam project.[7] In this case, the remedy for the breach was “equitable compensation,” which the trial judge calculated according to what the Crown would have owed the LSFN under the laws of expropriation in 1929, when the breach occurred.[8] Mr Southwind, who was acting on behalf of the members of the LSFN, disagreed with this calculation and argued that the trial judge failed to consider the doctrine of equitable compensation in light of the constitutional principles of the honour of the Crown and reconciliation.[9] On July 16th, 2021, the Supreme Court ruled on Mr Southwind’s appeal.

The literature review has a focus on the governmental response to missing and murdered Indigenous women. The research question at hand was if the current governmental response through direct actions from the federal government and branches related to the federal government were effective in intervening in and preventing murdered and missing Indigenous women. The research briefly goes over findings from both Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commissions, calls to actions from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, and action from the federal governments of past Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Morden, North Vancouver, B;C., on that memorable afternoon of Sunday, july 26, 1936, shows Canada's National War Memorial which stands majestically atop Hill 145, Vimy Ridge. Designed by W. S. Allward in its every detail. the monument· i~ recognized as the noblest memorial of the Great War. Its designing, corv­ struction and erection required about twelve years to complete and the cost of the monument was $1,250,000. The photo was ta~en from a position on! level ground at the rear of the Memorial and slightly to the right. In the immediate foreground are seen a number of pilgrims eating their lunch picnic style. A few minutes later, they started on the long winding wal~ around to the front of the Memorial to ta~e up their respective assigned positions preparatory to the formal dedication of the Memorial by His Majesty King Edward VII/: At the time this photograph was ta~en, blac~ clouds hovered threat­ eningly over the scene of this historic service but in less than an hour, those clouds had disappeared and the two majestic pylons of the Memorial appeared all the more beautiful as they reached high into the clearness· of a blue summer s~y,. Indescribably beautiful, no photographs or word pictures, no matter how cleverly executed, can begin to describe the solemnity of this se,ice on the summit of Vimy Ridge which culminated in the /OJ·mal dedication by His Majesty of Canada's National War Memorial.

It has given us a unique chance to work on this important project, examining the relationship between Canada and China during the past forty years.
