3.2659 The Decriminalization of Marijuana in Canada.
This paper deals with the issue of legalizing marijuana in Canada. This paper discusses the positive effects that legalizing marijuana would have for society. 5 pgs. 5 f/c. 1b.
This paper argues that Canadian judges wield too much power in our society. The Canadian Supreme Court was supposed to play a role in the process of checks and balances in this democracy. Yet judges are now acting as legislators rather than as referees. The Canadian Supreme Court has especially been armed with much power since the introduction of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982. As a result, a certain "judicialization" of politics has occurred, in the sense that Courts have become too powerful in the political process. 8 pgs. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

7.4375 Women and Social Welfare in Canada.
In the years from 1945 to 1980 it is generally asserted that the Canadian government was engaged in the construction of a Keynesian welfare state. However, at the same time, these reforms, products of the dominant culture itself, acted to reinforce and institutionalize social and class structure. This paper analyzes the ways in which Canadian social welfare legislation has reinforced the concept of separate spheres and thus treated women disadvantageously. 7 pgs. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
