The issue also contains updates on Quebec's language laws and the status of same-sex marriage in the United States (and the problems around same-sex divorce), a BLM on an Ontario case that applies the Supreme Court of Canada's test regarding the admission of evidence when an accused's Charter rights have been violated, and some new online resources.
Finally, the issue includes an article and a BLM on prorogation, which, for the second time in a year, has been used by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to shut down Parliament, kill pending bills, and disband committees. The article and the BLM give you and your students background on prorogation and suggest ways of studying and assessing the use of this parliamentary procedure.
