No one looked more at home amid the festive buzz in the main hall of the Chinese embassy than Canada's 21st prime minister, who had come to wish the People's Republic a happy 57th birthday. That was exactly what was making the smattering of Conservative MPs standing around the room extremely nervous. The seven short months that the Conservatives have been in power have strained Canada's political relations with the world's fastest growing economy, as the Harper government has made a series of antagonistic gestures towards China -- accusing it of industrial espionage, criticizing its justice system, and snubbing its diplomats -- in an apparent contradiction to Canada's stated policy of engagement. The next night, [Peter MacKay] was nowhere to be seen as China's birthday party unfolded. ...

A range of scholars and commentators has recently observed the rise of judicial activism by the Supreme Court of Canada. However, unlike the United States, Canada's elected bodies possess a constitutional democratic check on most of the actions of the Supreme Court via section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. Through this "notwithstanding clause", the federal parliament and provincial legislatures have the power to override a decision of the Supreme Court without the aid of a constitutional amendment. By looking to the American experience, this article explores the significance of this little-used clause for understanding the role of political regimes in the construction of Canadian constitutional doctrine, and considers its usefulness for resolving future consti...

Although the two aforementioned dimensions have been recovered widely in previous research, the relations between these two dimensions have tended to vary across samples, both within and between cultures (e.g., [Duckitt], 2001; [Duriez] et al., 2005). In some samples, the two dimensions are nearly independent, but in other samples the relations are much stronger. In an attempt to understand these variations, Duckitt and colleagues (Duckitt, 2001; Duckitt et al., 2002) and Duriez et al. (2005) have hypothesised that the strength of the relation between the two dimensions depends on the national political context and on the characteristics of the respondents. With regard to between-culture differences, Duckitt and colleagues suggested that the relations between the two dimensions are stro...
