  1. Canadian Rights


    2014.09.18


    Using information from the reading and your own ideas, explain which three “rights” are

    the most important for Canadians.



    Canadians have the right to vote for whom they may want to vote for.


    Canadians have the right to choose their own religion.


    Canadians have the right to travel throughout Canada without a passport.



    If Canadians did not have rights, how would living in Canada be different?


    If Canadians didn’t have rights, Canada would be a very different country because

    everyone would not be treated the same and wouldn’t be able to have the right to

    freedom of speech. -Lucas

  2. Canada without Rights If Canadians did not have rights Canada would not be the same because people would not have the right to have a religion let alone practice one.Also Canadians would not be able to have a fair trial so if someone accuses you of a crime you would not be able to prove you're innocent .And you would not be able to vote for are president and that's not good because some of them want stuff to become legal.

  5. Five things I learned about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

    These are the five things that I learned about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms:
    1.The first thing that I learned is that we even had charter of Canadian rights and Freedoms
    I find it weird that I didn’t know about it.
    2.I also learned that we have to a right education some countries do not allow girls to go to school and they have to work all day in other countries they are allowed to go to school but they don’t even have a pen and paper and it is not easy to get there either because there are not many schools so some children have to walk 2-3 hours every day.
    3. Another thing I learned is that Canadian’s have the right to thought, in some countries if you speek your mind you will be sent to jail.
    4.Section 33- the Notwithstanding clause, also known as the ‘loophole,’ this allows the Federal and Provincial governments of Canada to override any of the other rights and freedoms guaranteed under the Charter. Because Section 33 is such a special clause, it has only been used two times in history. The reason it was included when the Charter was created was because it was the only way Prime Minister Trudeau was able to get all the provinces to agree on the Charter.
    5.Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau created the charter in 1982.
    These are the five things I learned about the Canadian Charter of rights and Freedom.

    rights
    important rights 2014.09.18
    1. Write 3 of the most impotant rights
    I think the most important rights are a)Canadians have the right to freedom of speech because if we couldnt share ideas the goverment might have a idea but someone has a better, faster, or a easier way of doing it.b)canadians have the right to be treated equally because even if you are different on the outside we are all the same
    on the inside and we are proud to be canadian c) Canadians have the right to a fair trial if arrested or accused of a crime because it must be proven without doubt and that applies to every citizen

    2.if canadians did not have "rights"how would living in canada be different? Explain your thinking.
    if canada did not have rights the contry would be very difficult to handle because the people on the country could be doing bad things and there are no rights so we can't say you can't do that because its aloud there are no rules against anything so really the contry would be very a very dangerous contry cause people would do things that we are really not aloud to do. But since we do have have rights are country Canada is a very safe place

    This Is What I Learned

    1)I learned that there is a Charter Of Rights And Freedom.
    2)I also learned that we all have rights and no one should be treated differently because of who they are, their looks, and their different cultures.
    3)I learned that we are lucky to have these rights because different countries and different places don’t have certain rights, it is hard for them and they don’t get as much freedom.
    4)Adding on to number 3, some kids don’t get any education, and are forced to work at a young age.
    5)And finally I learned that we have a right to be Canadian, and do what we want.(If it’s legal.)

    OUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS CANADIAN CITIZENS

    Our responsibilities as Canadian citizens are the following:
    To vote. Many people believe that this is a right but once you are a citizen your say is important, your vote could change who our leader is.
    Watch out for litter and crime in your city. We should all do our part to keep our beautiful country clean and safe.
    Learn about it. If we are going to live in Canada we should know about it,there is a reason that Canada is beautiful and free and we should make it our duty to know it.
    To obey the law. Canada has laws that are not jokes. These laws are established to keep us and others safe. Obey them and you should not have much trouble.
