Substantive and Procedural Law in Canada

Substantive Law

Substantive law encompasses the rights and rules that govern behavior and set limits on conduct.

Procedural Law

Procedural law determines how substantive laws will be enforced.

Public and Private Law

Public Law

Public law includes constitutional law and determines how the country is governed. It also regulates our relationship with the government.

Private Law

Private law governs personal, social, and business relationships.

Canada's Constitution

The Constitution Act, 1982, formerly known as the British North America Act, created Canada in 1867. It serves as the "rulebook" that the government must follow. It includes the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Canada's Constitution has three elements:

• Statutes
• Case

High School Reflections

High school has given me very good and not so good moments, but it was undoubtedly the best time of my life. I had many friends, and the days in class were fun and enjoyable. I remember that the first day of high school I entered with a lot of fear of not making friends since I didn't know anyone, but after the first playground I had already made 3 friends, one of whom today is my best friend. A not so good stage in high school was repeating the course, since I had a bad time both socially with my new classmates and on a personal level.

The Digital Connection

Today, both new and old generations have something in common: the need to connect to the internet, either to work or to hang out. I think that punishing a person without... Continue reading "Personal Reflections on Life's Journey" »

Understanding Physical Forces

A force is the interaction of a body with something external to it and is capable of:

• Modifying its state of motion or rest (we will focus on it).
• Causing deformation.

The Normal Force

The normal force (N) is a reaction force; it is a force resulting from the application of Newton’s third law, which must have exactly the value required for the net force along its axis to be null.

Newton’s Laws of Motion

Newton’s First Law

Newton’s first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This tendency to resist changes in a state of motion is inertia.

Newton’s Second Law

Newton's second law of motion can... Continue reading "Fundamental Principles of Forces and Motion" »

Anatomy of the Eye

The retina of the eye, lining the posterior two-thirds of the eyeball, is located within the inner tunic.

The jelly-like substance located between the lens and retina is the vitreous body.

True or false: Accommodation refers to the change in lens thickness in order to provide fine focus of an image. The answer is true.

Functions of the Vitreous Body:

• Maintains shape of eyeball
• Refracts rays of light
• Keeps retina smoothly pressed against inner surface of eye chamber

Hemidecussation occurs within the visual projection pathway at the optic chiasm.

Toys R Us: A Customer Complaint

Date: May 11, 2022

On May 9th, I purchased a remote-control car as a gift for my brother. Upon opening the package, we discovered the car was made of cheap plastic, lacked a remote control, and did not resemble a remote-controlled vehicle at all.

I went directly to the store to file a complaint, as the product was expensive and clearly defective. The staff accused me of swapping the item at home to get a refund, which made me very angry. I have escalated this complaint to management and expect a resolution, either through a replacement or a full refund. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely, Sofia Gonzalez Lara

THE POLICY OF APPEASEMENT

Chamberlain returns from Munich and says he has saved world peace for a long time, waving a paper in which Hitler promised he didn't have more territorial demands in Czechoslovakia. A year later, Germany invades Czechoslovakia.

What is Appeasement?

A diplomatic policy of making political or material concessions to an aggressive power to avoid conflict. It was a total failure. It is applied to the foreign policy of the UK governments in the 1930s, towards the Nazis and Fascists in Italy.

Failure (future perspective):

Why appease Hitler?

• The League of Nations abandoned Czechoslovakia
• Britain is not prepared for war with the Luftwaffe
• Munich was followed by more Nazi demands and attacks
• The Czechs had 36 divisions ready to fight
