    Drybones Case

    In R v. Drybones (1970), the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that a provision of the Indian Act was “inoperative” — meaning no longer valid or in effect — because it violated section 1(b) of the Canadian Bill of Rights, which guarantees equality before the law.

    Ducks in Canada

    Waterfowl with short legs, webbed feet and narrow, pointed wings are known as ducks. A few island species are flightless, but most are strong fliers and migratory (see migration). A race of the common eider (Somateria mollissima) of Hudson and James bays is nearly sedentary, even wintering in Hudson Bay. Ducks, geese and swans comprise a family (Anatidae) with 158 living or recently extinct species. Ducks have worldwide distribution, except for polar regions.

    History of Duelling in Canada

    A duel is a formal armed combat between two people in the presence of witnesses, to settle differences or a point of honour. Duels were recorded in New France as early as 1646. The last known duel in what is now Canada occurred in 1873 in St. John’s, Newfoundland. People fought duels in a variety of places: in locked rooms, in open fields or across tables. Most incidents ended without injury, but there were some fatal encounters. At least nine people died in New France, two in Lower Canada, five in Upper Canada, two in Nova Scotia, two in New Brunswick and one in Newfoundland. Authorities considered duelling a crime, and to kill in a duel was tantamount to murder (see also Homicide). However, the laws were irregularly enforced.

    Dugout Canoe

    A dugout canoe was a common type of canoe, traditionally used by ​Indigenous peoples and early settlers wherever the size of tree growth made construction possible. The dugout canoe was most popular along the West Coast, where waters teeming with sea life—whales, seals,  sea lions, salmon,  halibut, herring, eulachon and shellfish—sustained a complex maritime culture. (See also Northwest Coast Indigenous Peoples in Canada.)

    Dupond Case

    Dupond Case In a case testing the scope of provincial interest in the area of public order, the Supreme Court in 1978 ruled as valid a Montréal ordinance forbidding for 30 days any public assembly, parade or gathering, on the grounds that it was a matter, as in the Hodge Case, of local public order in the province, and therefore authorized by the Constitution Act, 1867 (s92). The legislative measures of the Dupond case were...
