  • 1. Justice Canada's Response to a Request for Information Made by The
    1. Justice Canada’s response to a request for information made by the Standing Senate Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs on March 28, 2018 Question: Senator Batters: Minister, to try to justify pushing through your marijuana legalization bill — not decriminalization, but legalization — the Trudeau government has perpetuated a narrative which now appears to be inaccurate. On June 6, 2017, you said in the House of Commons: Canada has the highest number of young people smoking cannabis. Also on that day, you said: The reality is that, right now, Canada has the highest rates of young people using cannabis . On April 12, 2017, Prime Minister Trudeau said: There is higher per capita use by under-age Canadians than kids in any other country. And on December 17, 2017, the Prime Minister said: Right now, Canada has the highest use of marijuana by underage people in the developed world. This narrative went unchallenged until recently when Conservative senators pushed back. We learned that claims were based on a 2013 UNICEF report which attributed its data to an unnamed 2008 report from your own department, the Department of Justice. But your department confirmed that they had no such data and Statistics Canada said the same thing: no such data. As well, the UNICEF stats are contradicted by numerous other studies which show a steady decline in youth usage over the last decade in Canada, while marijuana remains illegal. So, in fact, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime ranks Canada sixth, not worst. Given this, minister, will you now agree that the Trudeau government’s push to legalize marijuana was predicated on a false, underlying narrative — a narrative which you have recently started to soften?

  • Unlearning Qallunaat Ways 1
    Running Head: Unlearning Qallunaat Ways 1 Unlearning Qallunaat Ways: Self-Reflection and Transformation While Working in Nunavut A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Education In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Education University of Prince Edward Island Charlottetown, PE October 22, 2017 UNLEARNING QALLUNAAT WAYS 2 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to explore my personal journey of transformation as it took place while working with Inuit educational leaders and youth in Nunavut from 2011 to 2015. Using autoethnography, I provide a background to who I was before working with Inuit, and then go on to explore how I learned about the history of education in Nunavut, about the process of colonization, and the emotions felt as I struggled to come to terms with my privilege as a white, middle-class Canadian and descendant of European settlers while working within an Indigenous context. I conclude by sharing the importance of building relationships as a way of healing and moving forward with a goal of becoming an ally and trying to do my small part in the reconciliation process. KEY WORDS: Qallunaat, autoethnography, Nunavut, Inuit, settler UNLEARNING QALLUNAAT WAYS 3 Dedication An Inuit educational leader and participant in the Nunavut Master of Education program 2010-2013 shared the following advice: [N]o matter how difficult, no matter how negative it seems, you need to move forward. Like my late grandmother would always say, “In life, you will come across boulders that will stop you from moving on the path. Go around that boulder, go over that boulder, but don’t go under it because then you will force whatever is slowing you down to overpower you.” Think of this program as a tool, as a way to overcome the issues that you face, that your school faces, and what your community faces.

  • Indigenous Aspirations and Democratic Design: Structural Reform in Australia
    Indigenous aspirations and democratic design: structural reform in Australia Harry Hobbs A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of New South Wales Faculty of Law December 2018 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname/Family Name : Hobbs Given Name/s : Harry Orr Abbreviation for degree as give in the : PhD University calendar Faculty : Law School : Law Indigenous aspirations and democratic design: Thesis Title : structural reform in Australia Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples claim a distinctive relationship with the Australian state based on their pre-colonial status as self-governing sovereign communities. This relationship is not reflected in Australia’s constitutional and political framework, which inhibits Indigenous Australians’ ability to have their distinct interests considered in the processes of government. Can the Australian state be restructured to rectify this failing and empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people? This thesis answers this question in two parts. By examining Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ nuanced and complex political thought, the thesis first explores the multivocal expressions of Indigenous aspirations for structural reform and democratic design. Fundamental themes that emerge from this exploration are then articulated into a set of criteria—voices , power , ownership , and integrity —that each capture a critical dimension of Indigenous goals in a manner legible to Australia’s system of governance. This produces a metric to assess institutional mechanisms and processes designed to empower Indigenous peoples to be heard in the processes of government. In the second part of the thesis, these criteria are applied to two key case studies: the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC), and the Swedish Sámediggi.
