You have no idea what you are talking about, do you? I have an unrecognized medical degree from Australia. I wrote the same damn exam that Canadians write...the first part licensing exam, and scored in the top 10%. I was still not able to work. I was able to get a temporary license allowing me to look after patients, prescribe medications etc, but could not get paid for it!! "Standards" is bullcocky propaganda. The only thing different about Canada's education is that it is overpriced!!

Glad your loving Canada

But, who cares, I leave this sort of thing to all knowing lawyers.

You can't be serious that the constitution in it's present form is just fine? - you must be a Toronto Lawyer I guess? - or make your living from the U of T :D - 26 years in, not one ammendment, no ammendment formula in sight, things are just fine right? It must be nice to know your interpretation, and your interpretation alone is the 'correct' one. Pfffft. I had more rights and real freedom in 1980 than I have today. Trudeau left us with a fine legacy, constitution is a monument to his vanity,

Also, we do our best to accept foriegn degrees. In fact the Migrant Integration Policy Index gave Canada it's highest rating (3 out of 3) for the State facilitation of recognition of skills and qualifications indicator intheir 2006 study.

We're doing our best to make sure the skilled workers are recognized which is why we get more skilled worker than the U.S..

Canada is very tolerant to all people, or have you forgotten that the Conservatives (who are NOT socialist) have been the minority government for the past few elections now and have continued support from the people?

Also, Canada has the HIGHEST immigration rate per capita of any country in the world. Why? Because we are such a beautifuland tolerant country, with multiculturalism right up to the federal level.

you're talking about the War Measures Act, I'm guessing, which allowed the government to take special temporary action and powers in the event of a war or major insurgency, etc. It was replaced by the Emergency Act which is also subject to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

[rpottage]

Uhh, no. The notwithstanding clause lets the government (with majority vote) take away certain rights like freedom of speech. It CANNOT take away rights like democratic or language rights. It gives the government the ability to override rights from courts, so that courts don't have the final say but the elected officials do. You're talking about the old bill of rights from the 1960's which's ineffectivness led to the charter of rights and freedoms.

[marmaloon]

Also Canada has what is called the 'notwithstanding clause' fully integrated into the Constitution, what it basically says is that at any time, the Government of the day if they feel like it can take away any and all of the rest of the rights in the Charter, and not have to give a reason as to why. Some country right? Also no property rights, the constitution has been around since 1982, not one stinking ammendment as of yet.

I agree, I live here and Canada can be very intolerant unless you are a card carrying socialist it seems to me anyways, I have lived here all my life. It's true about qualifications from foreign countries not being recognized, but you tell me how Canada is going to recognize a lot of education institutions in these diverse countries? - I mean a small country like Canada. I would imagine immigrants get more of a fair shake if they migrate to the USA.
