• Aboriginal Adoptions in Saskatchewan and British Columbia: An Evolution to Save or Lose Our Children?

With more than 27,000 Aboriginal children currently in provincial care, solving the issues surrounding Aboriginal adoptions has never been more important. These issues include: the inequality of funding between the First Nations Child Welfare agencies and provincial agencies (which has instigated a Canadian Human Rights Complaint by the Assembly of First Nations and the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada), the denial of Aboriginal Identity from Aboriginal adoptees, and the lack of recognition of Aboriginal custom adoptions. This paper focuses on these issues, discusses Supreme Court jurisprudence, as well as how Aboriginal adoptions are currently being dealt with in the provinces of Saskatchewan and British Columbia.

• First Nations Case with Child Welfare System Goes to Human Rights Tribunal

A year after the apology for the wrongful removal of First Nations children from their families, the federal government is spending thousands of taxpayer dollars to derail the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal from hearing all of the facts instead of using that money to help children on reserves stay safely with their families," said Cindy Blackstock, CEO of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society in a press release.

• Teachers' Training and Development in Sichuan Province, Prc: The Status Quo and Existing Problems1/ Formation Et Perfectionnement Des Enseignants Dans La Province Du Sichuan, République Populaire de Chine: Le Statu Quo Et Les Problèmes Actuels

Our study shows that Sichuan Province has established a modern normal education system with its unique features, in which the courses offered continue to be optimized and practice teaching attracts increasing respect. However, the teaching of professional knowledge and general knowledge about education still cannot strike a balance. The teachers' qualification credentialing system guarantees professional development; the position appointment system has taken effect, but the personnel quota system needs more flexibility. Teachers' salary is on the small side. Schools, colleges, and universities differ greatly in teachers' welfare due to absence of a corresponding security system protecting teachers' rights and interests. Educational authorities on the whole have experienced growing aware...

• Uncertainty and Indecision in the Legal Regulation of Children: The Albertan Experience

In this article, the author uses Alberta legislation and case law to test two common perceptions held in relation to the historical treatment of children's (legal) status in Canada: first, that legal regulation oscillates between welfare- and rights-oriented perspectives; second, that the same uncertainty in approach applies in relation to all regulation contexts, including child welfare and youth justice. These perceptions are often used as the baseline of analysis for any number of recent developments in Canada, federally or provincially. Yet, examination of the Albertan experience calls into question the accuracy of this view of the shifting approach to the legal regulation of children's status. The author argues that neither of these perceptions accurately reflects the narrative of ...

• Cuts Targeted to Keep the Neo-Cons On Top

[Ian Brodie] devoted his career as a political scientist to attacking the CCP. In a rare interview in 2001, Brodie said Ottawa only funds a left-wing agenda. "They (the CCP) were in favour of extending language rights, whatever the claim was. And they were in favour of as stringent a feminist interpretation of the equality rights section as you could possibly have, to the exclusion of all others...They're heavily funding the one side. It happens to be the gay-rights side, the pro-pornography side, the feminist side, the abortion issue. The government here is not acting as a neutral arbiter between competing claims of what social policy ought to look like in Canada. I'm outraged as a taxpayer...
