  World Wetlands Day 2005: Canada
Canada is among the 144 contracting parties to the Ramsar conservation on wetlands, an intergovernmental treaty adopted on February 2, 1971.
Even though, historical data indicate that as much as 70% of wetlands in Canada's populated area have disappeared so that to empower wetland protection, we need to be able to equate wetland loss by mass movement and talking to the students, opinion making class, media, teacher and politician too.
Canada is fortunate to be home to more than 1,270,000 square kilometers (127 million hectares) of wetlands.

 Canada - Amnesty International
A public inquiry opened in June into Canada’s role in the case of Maher Arar, a Canadian citizen of Syrian origin who was deported from the USA to Syria in 2002, where he was detained without charge or trial for a year and allegedly tortured.
Under the deal, most refugee claimants passing through the USA on their way to Canada will be required to make refugee claims in the USA.
AI was concerned that asylum-seekers turned away from Canada will face arbitrary and harsh detention in the USA in contravention of international standards, and that many women fearing gender-specific forms of persecution will face refoulement.

 Souvenir of Canada (2005)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Souvenir of Canada is based on the books of the same name by Douglas Coupland (Generation X), who also narrates the film.
Just seeing some of the artifacts that Coupland digs up evokes a strong sense of childhood and the past, from road trips down the Trans Canada to stubbies to Terry Fox's sock to Windsor salt boxes, stuff that as Coupland puts it, wouldn't be recognizable to anyone except someone who grew up in Canada.
Coupland at the time was just thinking about the Canada House project, building some of the furniture for it over the past year, and they both decided it would make a good foundation for the movie.
