Irwin Toy Ltd V American Pros And Cons

575 Words3 Pages

I truly believe that The Supreme Court is currently effective at maintaining and upholding the rights and freedoms of Canadians. I think The Supreme Court is necessary and is vital to our society. The Supreme Court brings justice to not only individuals but considers the needs and betterment of society in the R.v. Jordan case, Irwin Toy Ltd. V. Quebec and Saskatchewan (Human Rights Commission) v. Whatcott. The first case that supports my opinion is R.v. Jordan. Jordan claimed that the length of his trial infringed on his s.11(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which gives people the right to be tried in a reasonable time. Without the Supreme Court Jordan would not have been able to appeal and therefore would not have found the delay in his hearing to be unreasonable. Jordan would have had to serve the time waiting for his trial plus whatever sentence he received during his trial. …show more content…

V. Quebec. In this case Irwin Toy Limited, a toy manufacturer, broadcasted advertisements which were in violation of the Consumer Protection Act which prohibited advertisements under the age of 13. The Supreme Court of Canada put the needs of the society over the individual. They were able to define and explain the rights of the company and society. Which in fact later on they decided corporations are not protected under the charter as they can not enjoy life, liberty or security of the person. The Supreme Court of Canada had societies best interest at heart and agreed that children under 13 should not be subjected to commercials as they are easily manipulated. In conclusion the SCC clears up the grey areas when it comes to

    Between movies Foxtel advertises its own services, promoting its on demand service. When they are advertising they need to ensure that the content they show is within the Broadcasting Services Act of 1992. This regulates matters that are advertised such as tobacco and therapeutic goods advertisement, sponsorship announcements and community TV.

  • Examples Of Australia Not Embed The Bill Of Rights

    1090 Words  | 5 Pages

    Australia should not embed a bill of rights into the constitution, as the United States of America and many other countries have done. The United States of America uses a Bill of Rights, a section of the constitution that is set aside for rights of the people. Australia has uses a mixture of statutory laws, constitutional sections and common law to protect the Australian people’s rights in a superior way, such as having checks and balances to prevent overstepping of power, common law and implied rights, having the flexibility to change or update rights easier than the USA, and the fact that the supreme court and judges in America are extremely politicized, meaning that embedding a Bill of Rights is unnecessary and potentially hazardous. The US places all of its rights into the Bill of Rights, such as the freedom of speech,

  • Dbq Essay On The Judicial Branch

    467 Words  | 2 Pages

    The argument/famous Supreme Court case Madison vs. Marbury asked us the question should the Judicial Branch be able to declare laws unconstitutional. I think the Judicial Branch should be able to declare a law unconstitutional. I believe this because the judicial branch is very small, they have no other checks on any other branch, and they don’t receive any money. The Judicial Branch is so small.

    The Court even stated that “the courts do not hold a monopoly on the protection and promotion of rights and freedoms (R. v. Mills, 1999, para. 3).” Although this should not be taken as a full endorsement of coordinate interpretation, the Court’s decision in Mills shows that the idea of coordinate interpretation is not alien to the Canadian judiciary, and that it is capable of seeing the legislature as having its own valid interpretation of the

  • First Amendment Protects Commercial Speech

    98 Words  | 1 Pages

    GMI and HDTV will not be convicted because the First Amendment protects commercial speech. Commercial speech is not protected as noncommercial speech. For example, to protect consumers, a state may ban certain kinds of marketing practices, such as untrustworthy or false advertising. In general, a restriction on commercial speech will be considered valid as long as it falls between strict, intermediate, or rational scrutiny rules. Here, the complete ban on video ads "because the games might be damaging to teenagers " is too restrictive: it goes too far in attempting to protect minors for an apparently unconfirmed

  • How Does Globalization Affect Canada

    These tariffs and taxes impinge on rights of self-determination and freedom as suggested by The UN Universal Declaration on Human Rights and the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights respectively (Levin Institue, n.d. Human Rights). By limiting access to foreign media, the Canadian government prevented Canadian citizens from educating themselves on foreign issues, having access to information which may be pertinent to their lives or businesses, and possibly limited foreign business and investment opportunities to Canadians. This denied the citizens of Canada the ability to make informed decisions and opportunities to increase their personal wealth. The citizens had already demonstrated, by means of their purchases, what media they wished to consume. By promoting domestic magazines over foreign magazines, the Canadian government may have kept some businesses, which were naturally going to close, artificially alive potentially leading to long-term damaging effects as the businesses slowly closed or were slow to move to digital

  • Minimalism In Roe Vs Wade

    870 Words  | 4 Pages

    Originalists and minimalists continue to challenge the ruling of Roe v. Wade, even till present day. Minimalists believe that the court approached the issues of the case through a unnecessary approach. Besides granting abortion rights to women, the court also implemented a complex trimester system, which specified what is and what is not allowed during each three-month time interval of a pregnancy. The Texas law that was challenged in Roe v. Wade, was extreme to say the least. It banned the right to an abortion even in difficult situation where the pregnancy results from rape or incest, and pregnancies that would potentially lead to detrimental health concerns for both the mother- to be and the fetus.

I agree with this decision to ban tobacco advertising regardless of the fact that it is unconstitutional. This Supreme Court ruling refutes the validity of the argument that the individual right of free speech in advertising being more important than the common good, in this case the common good attributes to public health. It is clear these prescription drugs are a hazard to public health.

Children are exposed to so many commercials that if you ask a child to sing a jingle they’ve heard from a commercial they will come up with one in a flash.
