Understanding Democratic Rights and Representation in Canada

In Canada, our democratic rights empower us to choose representatives who form the government and make decisions on our behalf. This system, known as representative democracy, ensures that citizens have a voice in the governance process. The principles of democracy have deep historical roots, including significant documents like the Magna Carta, which laid foundational concepts of rights and governance. Understanding our rights is crucial to participating effectively in a democratic society.

  5. Biased or Unbiased? Nine Horses Perish: Calgary Stampede Death Toll Continues to Rise. Source: PETA The Calgary Stampede touts itself as the “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth,” but animals pay a high price at the annual rodeo and exhibition.. The deadliest event in the Stampede is the chuck wagon races, in which teams of four horses pull old- fashioned wagons and race around a track at breakneck speed. Many horses have suffered and died during these races, including six in 2002 alone. There is nothing entertaining about a “sport” in which animals pay with their lives.
