SUMMARY:The West in Confederation: What's Behind Western Restlessness?
DESCRIPTION:In the past few years\, the combination of Albertan assertiveness\, First Nations’ engagement\, Saskatchewan’s social policy activism\, and Manitoba’s political transitions have attracted national attention. Yet most Canadians outside the region have little sense of what is going on politically\, economically and socially in the West. Current battles over resource development\, social policy\, Indigenous rights\, and federal-provincial relations highlight the degree to which the West seems to be out of step with much of the rest of the country. \nThis webinar highlights contributions by Blaine Favel\, who will discuss the current aspirations and political priorities of Western Canada. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Details \n\nDate: Thursday\, October 26\, 2023\nTime: 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm ET\n\nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar. If you are unable to tune in live\, you can watch the recording at your convenience. \nSpeakers \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\nRegister for this webinar below \n

SUMMARY:The Notwithstanding Clause: Use It - or Lose It?
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, provincial governments have turned with increasing frequency to Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms – otherwise known as the notwithstanding clause – to inoculate legislation from judicial invalidation. Should this trend be concerning\, and does it represent a break from the historical norm? When\, if ever\, is it appropriate for Section 33 to be used? \nJoin us for an exclusive 60-minute webinar moderated by Aaron Wudrick\, Director of Domestic Policy Program at Macdonald-Laurier Institute and featuring Dave Snow\, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Guelph\, and Leonid Sirota\, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Reading. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Details \n\nDate: Friday\, October 27\, 2023\nTime: 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm ET\n\nPlease note\, that all registered attendees will receive a post-event recording of the webinar. If you are unable to tune in live\, you can watch the recording at your convenience. \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n \n\n\nRegister for this webinar below \n
