Download or read book Native Liberty Crown Sovereignty written by Bruce A. Clark and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1990 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirteen essays explore some 500 years of literacy campaigns in vastly different societies: Reformation Germany, early modern Sweden and Scotland, 19th century US, 19th-20th century Russia and the Soviet Union, pre-revolutionary and revolutionary China, and a variety of Third World countries. The 1763 Royal Proclamation forbade non-natives under British authority to molest or disturb any tribe or tribal territory in British North America. Clark, a lawyer specializing in aboriginal rights, contends that this Proclamation had legislative force and that, since imperial law on this matter has never been repealed, the right to self-government continues to exist for Canadian natives. He also explores the difficulties of aboriginal self-government in the constitution and offers some advice to government and aboriginal negotiators.

Download or read book The Evolving Urban Land Tenure System in Canada written by Mohammad A. Qadeer and published by University of Winnipeg, Institute of Urban Studies. This book was released on 1985 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rights associated with the "ownership" of urban land have undergone coniderable revisions as a result of the public policies, provincial regulations and market innovations. Increasingly new institutional actors have come to be "partners" in decisions about the use, disposition and enjoyment of urban land. The "process" of decision making is altering the "substance" of land rights. The efficiency and equity of the process have become items on the land reform agenda. Furthermore, the enjoyment of private property rights depends on proper management of the common property, namely air, water, roads, parks, communities. The property rights need to be formally redefined to take into account the contemporary demands and modern land use practices. A national commission should be set up to define the powers and obligations of various actors and interests involved in decisions about land disposition.
Download or read book Winnipeg s Challenge written by Derek Hum and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay examines some of the implications of urban development & adjustment based upon resource expansion, or what is commonly called the staple framework. Of particular concern are issues facing a mature urban centre, such as Winnipeg, whose resource staple (most notably wheat) has ceased to be the prime cause for rapid growth. The staple framework model of Hum and Phillips (1981) is sketched in an initial exposition of theoretical concepts, illustrated by simple diagrams showing possible paths of production & growth. Some potential lessons learned from the examination of urban development in a staple-based region are then discussed along with policy implications.
Download or read book Land Reclamation written by Robert Fenton and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper looks at one possible development strategy for the inner city of Winnipeg, a strategy consistent with forecasts that the city will experience continued low growth to the year 2000. The proposed strategy of inner city stabilization recognizes that technological change has created an excess supply of downtown land in the inner city. The strategy involves the reclamation of obsolete industrial & commercial land in the downtown in order to create modern residential subdivisions which would border on a more compact downtown. It also proposes that land banking initiatives be undertaken in concert with the reclamation activities. Options for implementing the strategy are discussed and examples of potential reclamation parcels are identified.

Download or read book The Economic and Fiscal Consequences of Immigration written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economic and Fiscal Consequences of Immigration finds that the long-term impact of immigration on the wages and employment of native-born workers overall is very small, and that any negative impacts are most likely to be found for prior immigrants or native-born high school dropouts. First-generation immigrants are more costly to governments than are the native-born, but the second generation are among the strongest fiscal and economic contributors in the U.S. This report concludes that immigration has an overall positive impact on long-run economic growth in the U.S. More than 40 million people living in the United States were born in other countries, and almost an equal number have at least one foreign-born parent. Together, the first generation (foreign-born) and second generation (children of the foreign-born) comprise almost one in four Americans. It comes as little surprise, then, that many U.S. residents view immigration as a major policy issue facing the nation. Not only does immigration affect the environment in which everyone lives, learns, and works, but it also interacts with nearly every policy area of concern, from jobs and the economy, education, and health care, to federal, state, and local government budgets. The changing patterns of immigration and the evolving consequences for American society, institutions, and the economy continue to fuel public policy debate that plays out at the national, state, and local levels. The Economic and Fiscal Consequences of Immigration assesses the impact of dynamic immigration processes on economic and fiscal outcomes for the United States, a major destination of world population movements. This report will be a fundamental resource for policy makers and law makers at the federal, state, and local levels but extends to the general public, nongovernmental organizations, the business community, educational institutions, and the research community.

Book excerpt: This report examines the history of some of the current major policy concerns related to the downtown area of Winnipeg. These concerns are among the foci of the Core Area Initiative program, an attempt by the three levels of government to revitalize the city's core area through a five-year public expenditure program. The report traces the development of housing & residential issues, central business district (CBD) issues (retail, industrial, commercial), and urban & municipal planning issues. The impact of various historic forces leading to diffusion of activity throughout an overly large downtown area is discussed along with the dispersion of CBD functions to suburban areas. The findings of the report provide insight into the problem of establishing a vital central core for Winnipeg.
