Now it was near the end of the meeting, everyone was even more motivated by all that they had already achieved.

Native Sovereignty In the following assignment, I will discuss the issue of native sovereignty in Canada, and address the question; "Can native sovereignty coexist with Canadian sovereignty?" To answer this question I will summarize two articles that discuss the issue. The first by John A.

reforms to the Senate – such as its democratization – have proven to be challenging, since there must be significant federal-provincial agreement on all the required constitutional amendments. The failed Meech Lake Accord of 1987, the rejected Charlottetown Accord of 1992, and more recently, the unsuccessful attempt by PM Harper in 2011 to pass legislation that “would have created consultative provincial elections for the selection of senators and set term limits” are testimonies on how much effort
In Canada, the type of government it should have is a monarchy. Although, there are many benefits and disadvantages to a monarchy, there are many drawbacks to having a republic government. Canada is a theatre, in which every citizen played a significant role. Of this grand production, the monarchist is a playwright who tampers with the script to give Canada the benefits, while giving the nation it’s own independence. Monarchy is a form of government in a state, in which an individual has sovereign
