Property Says No
For around two decades, if not longer, Canada has seen a number of cases dealing with tent encampments, typically, but not always, located in public parks. Often these decisions arise out of municipalities seeking interlocutory or interim injunctions against the tent encampments. Property and property rights have a significant role to play in these decisions as the alleged harm to property and property rights tends to be determinative of the matt…
Coming in from the Cold
Canada’s National Housing Strategy (NHS) commits the government to eliminating chronic homelessness and promises that realizing the right to housing is a key objective. In this article, we explore how the Canadian government could realize the right to housing in the context of eliminating chronic homelessness. We argue that it is helpful to look at how other jurisdictions have successfully reduced homelessness. In this article we examine Finland …

McIvor v. Canada and the 2010 Amendments to the Indian Act
2010 saw the twenty-fifth anniversary of two important legal developments in Canada: Bill C-31, which significantly amended the existing Indian Act, and the coming into effect of section 15 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Section 15 was partially responsible for the introduction of Bill C-31. The Canadian government introduced Bill C-31 to address, among other things, gender discrimination in the system of Indian status. Bill C-31, however…
The Skin of the Earth’
Since violence – as distinct from power, force, or strength – always needs implements (as Engels pointed out long ago), the revolution of technology, a revolution in tool-making, was especially marked in warfare. Hannah Arendt, On Violence, 1969 What does it mean to understand sculpture as a trap? This was the question that American sculptor Mary Miss asked in April 1973 when she and a few students cut a patch of earth into square pieces, and rem…
Liquor Laws, Legal Continuity, and Hotel Beer Parlours in Alberta, 1924 to c.1939
In common with other Canadian provinces, Alberta introduced a system of government liquor control to replace prohibition. Where Alberta differed was in its simultaneous reintroduction of both liquor stores and licensed premises in the form of beer parlours. Alberta’s beer parlours had a crucial role to play, both in the success of government control and in the broader economic life of the province. The author uses Alberta’s early experiences with…
Prohibition Plebiscites on the Prairies
Since its introduction into North America in the late nineteenth century, direct democracy, particularly in the form of direct legislation, has periodically piqued the interest of legal scholars. A handful of studies have examined the history of direct legislation in the United States and in Canada; however, these studies often fail to examine how direct legislation was actually used. Brief references might be given to which initiatives the voter…
The Sculptural Object circa 1960
‘Messy’ was the word Donald Judd chose in 1964 to describe the history of art. In ‘Local History’, the artist and critic argued against a ‘neat’ or ‘linear’ historical trajectory based on categories of style. ‘A lot of things just can't be connected’, he wrote, observing how art of the post-war period in particular was diverse, heterogeneous, and could not be contained by a dominant school, or common goal.1 Judd took aim at the categories of Abst…
Picturing Autonomy
Making the Law Work
This paper uses the example of the control of medicinal liquor during prohibition in Alberta to explore how the methods of control altered during the eight years of prohibition. This paper argues that the system used to control medicinal liquor changed from a prosecutorial system to a regulatory system. This shift from prosecution to regulation was essential in ensuring that medicinal liquor was actually controlled and allowed medicinal liquor to…
