Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the late 1960s, the authorities on abortion were for the most part men—politicians, clergy, lawyers, physicians, all of whom had an interest in regulating women’s bodies. Even today, when we hear women speak publicly about abortion, the voices are usually those of the leaders of women’s and abortion rights organizations, women who hold political office, and, on occasion, female physicians. We also hear quite frequently from spokeswomen for anti-abortion groups. Rarely, however, do we hear the voices of ordinary women—women whose lives have been in some way touched by abortion. Their thoughts typically owe more to human circumstance than to ideology, and without them, we run the risk of thinking and talking about the issue of abortion only in the abstract. Without Apology seeks to address this issue by gathering the voices of activists, feminists, and scholars as well as abortion providers and clinic support staff alongside the stories of women whose experience with abortion is more personal. With the particular aim of moving beyond the polarizing rhetoric that has characterized the issue of abortion and reproductive justice for so long, Without Apology is an engrossing and arresting account that will promote both reflection and discussion.

Book Understanding School Choice in Canada

Download or read book Understanding School Choice in Canada written by Lynn Bosetti and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding School Choice in Canada provides a nuanced and theoretical overview of the formation and rise of school choice policies in Canada. Drawing on twenty years of work, Lynn Bosetti and Dianne Gereluk analyze the philosophical, historical, political, and social principles that underpin the formation and implementation of school choice policies in the provinces and territories. Bosetti and Gereluk offer theoretical frameworks for considering the parameters of school choice policies that are aligned and attentive to Canadian educational contexts. This robust overview successfully shifts the debate away from ideology in order to facilitate an understanding that the spectrum of school choice policy in Canada is a response to the varying political challenges in society at large. This book is essential reading for those who desire a deeper understanding of school choice policies in Canada.

Book Refuge Or Asylum

    Book Details:
  • Author : Howard Adelman
  • Publisher : North York, Ont. : York Lane Press
  • Release : 1990
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 256 pages

Download or read book Refuge Or Asylum written by Howard Adelman and published by North York, Ont. : York Lane Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays was provoked, in large part, by recent changes in Canada's policy towards refugees: the elimination of a designated class category in mid-1990 and the introduction of a new refugee determination law (Bill C-55). Under the latter piece of legislation, individuals must claim Convention Refugee Status before a quasi-judicial panel, and, if successful, enter the immigrant stream to become permanent residents in Canada. The tremendous backlog of cases which has resulted provides reason to question the lack of provision for temporary protection of refugees and to reassess official Canadian attitudes in general. The essays (divided into three sections entitled 'Theoretical Perspectives', 'Canadian Policy', and 'Countries of First Asylum') simply provide the background to the current situation. The four essays in the first part tackle the theoretical issues. Specifically, they distinguish between temporary asylum and permanent refuge and try to explain why, on an international level, the concept of protection for refugees has increasingly expanded to include an obligation to grant citizenship. The next five essays have similar concerns, but deal with them on the level of Canadian policy. Moreover, they concentrate on the issue of State sovereignty as being the vital factor in the movement from temporary to permanent protection. The final four essays consider selected countries of first asylum (Sudan, Thailand and Pakistan) and suggest that the international community, by creating a series of bureaucratic checks to control access borders, has also created a bureaucracy to aid and protect refugees within camps which, under the rationale of providing aid and assistance, further restricts refugees' rights of movement. In these essays it is argued that this dichotomy between self-reliance and restriction is ultimately more important than whether or not refugees are granted temporary or permanent protection.

Book About Canada

  • Author : Dennis Raphael
  • Publisher : Fernwood Publishing
  • Release : 2010
  • ISBN : 9781552663752
  • Pages : 180 pages

Download or read book About Canada written by Dennis Raphael and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Canadians believe that their health is shaped by luck, genetics, lifestyle choices, and treatment options--and government agencies, public health units, and disease associations all reinforce this perception. This study, however, tells a different story, arguing that it is the social determinants of health, as imposed by the financial markets, that dictate the health of Canadians today. Showing that health care can be greatly improved with simple changes to social policy, the discussion describes the impact of food, housing, employment, education, and social services on the nation`s health.

  • Publisher : Univ. of Manitoba Press
  • Release : 2012
  • ISBN : 0887554180
  • Pages : 249 pages

Download or read book For King and Kanata written by Timothy Charles Winegard and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first comprehensive history of the Aboriginal First World War experience on the battlefield and the home front. When the call to arms was heard at the outbreak of the First World War, Canada's First Nations pledged their men and money to the Crown to honour their long-standing tradition of forming military alliances with Europeans during times of war, and as a means of resisting cultural assimilation and attaining equality through shared service and sacrifice. Initially, the Canadian government rejected these offers based on the belief that status Indians were unsuited to modern, civilized warfare. But in 1915, Britain intervened and demanded Canada actively recruit Indian soldiers to meet the incessant need for manpower. Thus began the complicated relationships between the Imperial Colonial and War Offices, the Department of Indian Affairs, and the Ministry of Militia that would affect every aspect of the war experience for Canada's Aboriginal soldiers. In his groundbreaking new book, For King and Kanata, Timothy C. Winegard reveals how national and international forces directly influenced the more than 4,000 status Indians who voluntarily served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force between 1914 and 1919--a per capita percentage equal to that of Euro-Canadians--and how subsequent administrative policies profoundly affected their experiences at home, on the battlefield, and as returning veterans."--Publisher's website.
