	Researching Canadian Law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The core of the Canadian Abridgment (2d) is an encyclopedic collection of case digests, or summaries, of issues decided by Canadian courts and administrative tribunals from the early 1800s to the present.
		Canadian statutes, both federal and provincial, appear in either sessional or annual volumes and are also consolidated from time to time in volumes called revised statutes.
		In most Canadian jurisdictions, the publication of a loose-leaf edition that provides frequent updating of statutes is one way of ensuring that the researcher can locate a specific statute together with information regarding recent amendments or updates.

	Parliament of Australia: Senate: Publications: Odgers' Guide to Australian Senate Practice - Eleventh Edition - Chapter ...
		Arrangements for the Australian Senate correspond with those for the United States Senate in that each state is represented equally irrespective of geographical size or population; and senators are elected for terms of six years.
		The Senate, because of the method of composition, is the institution in the Commonwealth which reconciles majority rule, as imperfectly expressed in the House of Representatives, with adequate representation.
		A senator so chosen completes the term of the senator whose place has been taken and is not required, as was previously the case, to stand for election at the next general election of the House of Representatives or periodical election of the Senate.

	Parliament of Australia: Senate: The Senate: a short description
		The Senate currently consists of 76 senators, twelve from each of the six states and two from each of the mainland territories, elected by a system of proportional representation for a period of six years.
		The four senators who represent the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory are elected concurrently with members of the House of Representatives and the duration of their terms of office coincide with those for that House (a maximum of three years).
		The Senate's role as a house of review and as a watchdog of the executive branch of government has led to the development of a comprehensive range of standing committees which may investigate matters of public policy and scrutinise proposed legislation and the details of government expenditure and administration.

	Fruits and Votes » Blog Archive » Canada: An elected Senate?
		The Senate has not frequently challenged the authority of the lower house and the government that emenates from it, in part because it is an unelected body.
		In a footnote to this footnote, the 24 electoral divisions carved up a 150 years ago actually survive in Quebec, where each is “represented” by an appointed senator, who must fulfill either the residency or property requirement in his or her division.
		When the divisions were kept for the appointive system as a compromise acceptable to both groups, the linguistic characteristics of a division only came to matter as far as the federal prime minister or the Quebec premier cared.

	Senate of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Senate came into existence in 1867, when the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed the British North America Act, uniting the Province of Canada (which was separated into Quebec and Ontario) with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick into a single federation, called the Dominion of Canada.
		The Constitution divides Canada into four "divisions," each with an equal number of senators: 24 for Ontario and Quebec each; 24 for the Maritime provinces (10 for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick each, and four for Prince Edward Island); and 24 for the Western provinces (six each for Manitoba, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Alberta).
		Moreover, a senator must own real and personal property worth at least $4,000 (adjusted for inflation this number could be estimated between $175,000 and $200,000 in 1867 dollars), above his or her debts and liabilities.

	Harper's Senate Reform \| The Agonist
		Except when the Canadian Constitution is being amended, in which case the lower house can override them after six months, their approval is required for all bills to pass.
		It has been the practice that the Senate rarely refuses to pass bills passed by the House of Commons, but that is because the Senators are all political appointees without mandates.
		Elected senators, with a mandate of their own, will feel (correctly) that as they were elected they have a right to stop bills and introduce their own bills.

		Several respected Canadian criminologists, lawyers, psychologists and drug policy researchers have called either for an end to prohibition, or at least an honest evaluation of its harms.
		That modern drug myths repeat the time-worn divisions of blessed and cursed is apparent from the way the healing properties of medical psychoactives and the destructive properties of illicit narcotics are equally exaggerated in opposite directions.
		In each of these cases, and in the case of the feared drugs, most people use these practices in a constructive way, but a few people use them in such extreme and hazardous ways that their health is affected.

	Proud To Be Canadian .ca
		The reporters therefore skew their reporting to the left, sanctifying the NDP, and a large segment of the Canadian public thus takes the party seriously and actually votes for a socialist party and an end to free-market capitalism in Canada, because they still think the Canadian liberal-left media is fair and balanced.
		Because what they don't admit to you is that they really have an interest in setting young Canadians up early in life such that they become totally reliant upon the state -- rather than the family or God -- for their very survival, their nurturing, their faith, their security, and their comfort.
		I coined that and also "The Supreme Court division of the Liberal Party" and the "Senate division of the Liberal Party" and others.
