    Dairy Industry in Canada

    Canada's dairy-products industry is made up of companies that process raw milk and cream. Primary products include pasteurized, packaged fluid milk and cream; cheese (natural, process, paste, spreads, curds); condensed, evaporated or powdered milk or cream; creamery butter, butter oil and whey butter; ice cream, ice-cream mix and ice-cream novelties; and frozen desserts (e.g., sherbets, ices). (See also Cheese and Cheese Making.) The industry operates under a supply management system, which controls the supply and stabilizes the price of Canadian dairy. The Canadian dairy manufacturing industry is highly regulated and it complies with regulations set by federal, provincial and industry partners (see Food Legislation).

    Dalhousie University

    Its auspicious beginnings were soon marred by governmental indifference and sectarian rivalry. Both the colonial establishment and the college's board of governors were unenthusiastic, favouring instead the precedence of King's College.

    A dam is a structure built across a waterway to control or stop the flow of water. This is called impounding the flow of water. Dams can be built by animals, such as beavers, or constructed by humans. In some cases, they are even formed by natural geological forces.

    Dandelion

    Dandelions (genus Taraxacum) are perennial, herbaceous plants of the family Asteraceae. Over 1,000 species have been named. Because dandelions reproduce without fertilization, innumerable variants have arisen. The name dandelion comes from the French dent-de-lion, meaning "lion's tooth." Common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) has many names, including blowball, faceclock, dumble-dor (Newfoundland) and pissenlit (Quebec).

    Daniels Case

    On 14 April 2016, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in Daniels v. Canada that the federal government, rather than provincial governments, holds the legal responsibility to legislate on issues related to Métis and Non-Status Indians. In a unanimous decision, the court found that Métis and Non-Status peoples are considered Indians under section 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867 — a section that concerns the federal government’s exclusive legislative powers. Recognition as Indians under this section of law is not the same as Indian Status, which is defined by the Indian Act. Therefore, the Daniels decision does not grant Indian Status to Métis or Non-Status peoples. However, the ruling could result in new discussions, negotiations and possible litigation with the federal government over land claims and access to education, health programs and other government services.
