    Buddhism in Canada

    The first Buddhists to set foot in Canada were likely Japanese and Chinese labourers who came to work on the railroads and in the mines in the 19th century. However, it was Japanese Canadians who first established institutional Buddhism in this country. In 2006, the Parliament of Canada voted unanimously to make His Holiness the Dalai Lama an honorary Canadian citizen. In the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS), 366, 830 Canadians identified as Buddhist.

    Bullying and Harassment in Canada

    Broadly speaking, bullying involves repeated harmful behaviour and a real or perceived imbalance of power. Harassment is unwelcome or unwanted conduct that a harasser knows or should know is intimidating, humiliating, hostile or fear-inducing. However, there is no single definition of bullying or harassment in Canada. Instead, bullying and harassment are addressed through various federal and provincial/territorial laws and regulations. Each jurisdiction typically has its own definition, as well as laws, regulations and methods for addressing such behaviour.

    Buntings in Canada

    True buntings are birds of the genus Passerina, in the cardinal family (Cardinalidae) and order Passeriformes (perching birds). Four species can be found in Canada: indigo bunting (Passerina cyanea), lazuli bunting (Passerina amoena), blue grosbeak (Passerina caerulea) and painted bunting (Passerina ciris). Two other Canadian birds are colloquially referred to as buntings in Canada, but are not true buntings; the lark bunting is a member of the sparrow family (Emberizidae), and the snow bunting is a member of the longspur family (Calcariidae).
