Download or read book Section 125 written by Christopher Joseph Great-Sky (McLeod) and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since time immemorial, the Indigenous Peoples of Canada have been stewards of the land. And yet, they experience the highest levels of poverty in Canada. According to Statistics Canada, 44 percent of Indigenous Peoples lived in poverty in 2020. How is this disparate level of poverty possible? To answer that, author Christopher Joseph Great-Sky (McLeod) says we must start with the Canadian constitution. Section 125: Tax-Exemption of Indians and Indian Bands is a critical examination of the Canadian government, constitution, and tax laws, and their impact on the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. Great-Sky provides a thorough analysis of section 125 of the constitution and the sections 87, 89, and 90 of the Indian Act, the primary law the federal government uses to administer Indigenous status, local First Nations governments, and the management of reserve land. This breakdown of legal documents and laws clearly illustrates Canada’s systemic racism and hypocrisy. Great-Sky asks: If Indigenous Peoples are tax exempt by federal laws, why are we still paying taxes? Why is no court willing to recognize these exemptions? While relations between the federal government and Indigenous Peoples are complex, Section 125 shows that positive change is possible. From lawyers to judges, law schools to the court system, anyone can take action. Judicial reform is the catalyst to move Indigenous Peoples from poverty to prosperity and finally achieve true reconciliation and healing.

Download or read book Follow the Money written by John Anderson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-09-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its barbecues, new Cadillacs, and $4,000 snakeskin cowboy boots, Texas is all about power and money -- and the power that money buys. This detailed and wide-scope account shows how a group of wealthy Texas Republicans quietly hijacked American politics for their own gain. Getting George W. Bush elected, we learn, was just the tip of the iceberg.... In Follow the Money, award-winning journalist and sixth-generation Texan John Anderson shows how power in Texas has long been vested in the interconnected worlds of Houston's global energy companies, banks, and law firms -- not least among them Baker Botts, the firm controlled by none other than James A. Baker III, the Bush family consigliere. Anderson explains how the Texas political system came to be controlled by a sophisticated, well-funded group of conservative Republicans who, after elevating George W. Bush to the American presidency, went about applying their hardball, high-dollar politicking to Washington, D.C. When George Bush reached the White House, he brought with him not only members of the Texas legal establishment (among them former White House counsel Harriet Miers and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales) but empowered swarms of Republican lobbyists who saw in Bush's arrival a way to make both common cause and big money. Another important Beltway Texan was Congressman Tom DeLay, the famous "Exterminator" of Houston's Twenty-second District, who became majority leader in 2003 and controlled which bills made it through Congress and which did not. DeLay, in turn, was linked to lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who used his relationships with both DeLay and Karl Rove on behalf of his clients, creating a shockingly corrupt flow of millions of dollars among Republican lobby groups and political action committees. Washington soon became infected by Texas-style politics. Influence-peddling, deal-making, and money-laundering followed -- much of it accomplished in the capital's toniest restaurants or on the fairways and beaches of luxurious resorts, away from the public eye. The damaging fallout has, one way or another, touched nearly all Americans, Democrat and Republican alike. Follow the Money reveals the hidden web of influence that links George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and the Texas Republicans to the 2000 recount in Florida; the national tort-reform movement; the controversial late-hour, one-vote passage of the Medicare Reform Act; congressional redistricting schemes; scandals in the energy sector; the destruction of basic constitutional protections; the financial machinery of the Christian right; the manipulation of American-Indian tribe casinos; the Iraq War torture scandals; the crooked management of the Department of the Interior; the composition of the Supreme Court; and the 2007 purges of seasoned prosecutors in the Justice Department. Some of the actors are in federal prison, others are on their way there, and many more have successfully eluded a day of reckoning. Told with verve, style, and a not-so-occasional raised eyebrow, Anderson's account arcs directly into tomorrow's headlines. Startling in its revelations, Follow the Money is sure to spark controversy and much-needed debate concerning which direction this country goes next.

Download or read book Hearsay Evidence in Criminal Proceedings written by J R Spencer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Criminal Justice Act 2003 re-wrote the hearsay evidence rule for the purpose of criminal proceedings, enacting the recommendations of the Law Commission together with some proposals from the Auld Review. In 2008, Professor Spencer wrote a book explaining the new law, intended for practitioners as well as academics. Following the style of his earlier book about the new law on bad character evidence, the core of the hearsay book was a section-by-section commentary on the relevant provisions of the Act, discussing the case law that had interpreted them. Since the appearance of the first edition, the new law on hearsay evidence has been the subject of a spectacular exchange between the UK Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights, the effects of which the Court of Appeal has interpreted in several leading cases. In this new edition, the commentary is revised to take account of these developments. As in the first edition, the commentary is preceded by chapters on the history of the hearsay rule, and the requirements of Article 6(3)(d) of the European Convention on Human Rights. It is followed by an appendix containing the text of the statutory provisions and a selection of the leading cases.
