The Sleeping Giant of Rights: Section 7 and Substantive Review

Section 7 of the Charter has given the courts the powerful tool of substantive review. This instrument allows the courts to go beyond procedural review to examine the merits of legislation. This ability to intrude on what has been regarded as the exclusive jurisdiction of legislatures has attracted powerful critics. The courts have ignored some opponents and have used substantive reviews. The steps have been tentative but important. If the courts continue to use and indeed broaden substantive review, then section 7 will be the source of new rights which will enable Canada to become a society of truly meaningful equality. *** L\u27article 7 de la Charte procure aux cours de justice un puissant instrument en matière de révision substantielle. Celui-ci permet non seulement de réviser l\u27aspect procédural de la législation, mais également de réviser le mérite de celle-ci. Cette capacité de participer dans ce que l\u27on considère comme le domaine exclusif de la branche législative fut critiquée vivement. Les cours de justice ont toutefois ignoré ces opposants et utilise la révision substantielle. Les développements ont été timides mais néanmoins important. Si les cours continuent à utiliser et augmenter la portée de la révision substantielle, l\u27article 7 deviendra le fondement de nouveaux droits qui permettront au Canada de devenir une société égalitaire véritable

SOME EMPIRICAL METHODS OF ESTIMATING ADVERTISING EFFECTS IN DEMAND SYSTEMS: AN APPLICATION TO DRIED FRUITS

Two different methods of incorporating advertising effects into Almost Ideal Demand Systems (AIDS) are presented. Both advertising schemes are designed to allow theoretical restrictions to hold globally rather than at particular sample points. The models are estimated for California figs, prunes, and raisins. Empirical results indicate that generic advertising effects for these three dried fruits are generally weak when compared to price and total expenditure effects. Estimated cross-commodity effects also are relatively small except for the negative effect of raisin advertising on the quantity of prunes demanded.Demand and Price Analysis, Marketing,

Thermohaline and Hydrocarbon Related Diagenesis of Lower Miocene and Upper Oligocene Sediments, West Hackberry Field, Cameron Parish, Louisiana: Implications for Mass Transport and Fluid Flow.

The diagenesis of Lower Miocene and Upper Oligocene sediments flanking the West Hackberry salt dome are documented in order to determine the effect the presence of salt domes may have in driving diagenetic reactions in detrital siliciclastic sediments. These sediments have undergone significant chemical diagenesis during progressive burial resulting in a reduction in porosity and permeability. Precipitation of analcime, siderite, and calcite plus the alteration of detrital volcanic lithic fragments and replacement of aluminosilicate framework grains by calcite are the dominant reactions which have altered the Upper Oligocene sands. Analcime and siderite are also present in the Oligocene mudstones. The isotopic composition of the Oligocene calcites is quite variable suggesting multiple generations of calcite cement, an early one precipitated from seawater and perhaps several later ones precipitated during progressive burial by warm, hydrocarbon enriched, diagenetic pore fluids similar in composition to present day brines. Petrographic evidence suggests and extraformational source is required to account for the occurrence of these authigenic minerals. The most likely sources include the dissolution of halite in the adjacent salt dome, the dissolution and alteration of volcanic lithic fragments and aluminosilicates, and the smectite to illite transformation in more deeply buried sediments. The dominant reactions effecting the composition, porosity, and permeability of the Lower Miocene sands are precipitation of calcite and iron sulfides and replacement of detrital framework grains. Iron sulfide nodules of complex mineralogy and paragenesis occur in interbedded mudstones. The isotopic composition of the calcite is relatively constant and is consistent with the hypothesis that dissolution of Jurassic anhydrite in the adjacent salt dome and oxidation of methane are the primary sources for Ca and CO\sb3 respectively. Salt dome anhydrite is also the likely source for the sulfur required for Miocene iron sulfide cements. The diagenesis of Lower Miocene and Upper Oligocene sediments results from the interaction of high NaCl, hydrocarbon enriched brines with the detrital mineral assemblage during progressive burial. These deposits require a dynamic open geochemical system where large quantities of material were transported into the system, most likely due to a dynamic fluid flow regime

The end of imperial diplomatic unity, 1919-1928: Anglo-Canadian relations from the British perspective.

During the first decade after the Great War, the relationship between Great Britain and Canada underwent profound changes: these years were significant in the transition of the British Empire to Commonwealth. One of these changes included Canada's severance from formal imperial diplomatic unity. From 1919 to 1928, Canada established the same complete control over its external affairs which it already enjoyed in its domestic affairs. Canada's break from imperial foreign policy was a major factor in Canada's evolution from subordinate status with respect to Britain to one of equality. As the senior Dominion, the action Canada took against Britain, by confronting Britain repeatedly in matters of foreign policy, made Canada a leader in the transition to Commonwealth. Events leading to Canada's legal disassociation from imperial foreign policy began with Resolution IX of the Imperial War Conference of 1917. Although recognition of changes in the imperial relationship came with the Balfour Declaration of 1926, it was the appointment of the first British High Commissioner to Ottawa in 1928 which confirmed Britain's participation in a new relationship with Canada. Resolution IX acknowledged that circumstances had changed in British-Dominion relations. The struggles over imperial foreign policy between 1919 and 1928 assisted in establishing the principle of equal status between Britain and the Dominions. These conflicts contributed to defining the evolution of the Anglo-Canadian relationship in its formal, legal sense. The Canadian involvement in these encounters has received a great deal of attention whereas the same cannot be said of the British side. Most historical writings have assumed that the reactions of Britain were consistently conservative and passive. The common supposition was that Britain reacted only when pressured by Canada. By reviewing these confrontations from the British perspective, this study will examine the attitudes of and the interaction among the British Cabinet, the Foreign and Colonial Offices in formulating a policy toward Canada in this era, and demonstrate that the transition to Commonwealth was neither inevitable nor smooth

The Effect of Kinetin on the Rate of Multiplication of Paramecia

A stimulation of the rate of division of Paramecium caudatum by kinetin has been reported. This paper reports investigations in which kinetin was found to be inhibitory, rather than stimulatory, to division of paramecia under similar conditions and at the same concentrations. Addition of IAA apparently counteracted the inhibition produced by kinetin
