Fact: Not every law throughout history can be fair and just. An example of this is the discriminatory laws in place with the continuous journey regulation blocking certain immigrants from Asia into Canada. Legislations

Fun fact: There are different branches of technology that cover different fields of knowledge. This includes communication, electrical, energy, manufacturing, computer, transportation technology and more. Technology helped bring in a new age of work, entrepreneurs and advancements to society, as more jobs are created with the use of computers, etc. But jobs that were now automated and more productive with technology were lost.

Fun Fact: People entering countries are classified different depending on the situation they entered the country in: Refugee - A person who was forced to leave their country in safety Immigrant - A person who chooses to move into another country, looking for permanent residence.

Definition: Laws in government, are the rules passed as a legislation by legislatures, a body of government, to regulate, change, enforce and prohibit different things such as crime, to ensure a civil, just and fair society and country. (In theory)

Examples from the movie: 1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, is the supreme law of the land, put in place in 1982, to guarantee fair and just rights and freedoms for Canadians. 2. Before the 1960s, discriminatory laws were in place that limited only white immigrants into the country and made it harder for other ethnic groups to immigrate. These laws are included in the immigration act in 1906 and the continuous journey regulation in 1908. (Dyk 1). 3. In the 1980's 26 pieces of legislation were introduced, by the British Columbia Social Credit Party, to cut down on union rights and social services, which workers and people in economic need heavily relied on, which caused protests in BC opposing the bills. ("BC's Operation Solidarity"; 1)

Fun Fact: The right to equality is a human right listed in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and discrimination systemically can be contested under the charter in a civil court.

Definition: Unfair and unequal treatment against people on the basis of different grounds, such as race, age, sex, disability, etc.

Examples from the movie: 1. The Montreal Massacre in 1989, was a violent attack by a gunman, who killed 14 woman in a discriminatory hate crime against women and feminists. 2. In 1983, a Canadian Sikh named Baltej Singh Dhillon, was heavily discriminated in high school for his race, along with many other Sikhs and South Asians. Dhillon became to be an RCMP officer, but at the time the RCMP prohibited turbans that Sikhs wear in their religion. Dhillon wanted the dress code to change, which was then faced with backlash from some Canadians who were still latching on to discriminatory roots. The RCMP dress code was changed, with the use of the charter of rights and freedoms. 3. The Oka Crisis, originated from a protest by the Mohawk people, an indigenous tribe, over a proposed golf course that was going to take over their land. This led to military action, and a standoff between them, marking an historical act of discrimination against the indigenous, seeing how brutal force was used by the police and military to counter the protest when treatment would have been less violent for other protests.

Definition: People entering Canada, in this case, from another country looking for permanent residency.

Examples from the movie: 1. During the Cambodian killing fields, a genocide against hundreds of thousands in Cambodia, caused tons of Cambodians to find refuge in Canada. Although, refugees and immigrants are usually classified as two different categories, as refugees are people who are forced to seek safety in a different country for reasoning of safety from theirs. But immigrants are classified as people who choose to enter a country. Although an influx of Cambodian immigrants did also choose to come to Canada, as they found out the potential and opportunities of Canada they can take, during the aftermath of the killing fields and war. (Joy 1) 2. Baltej Singh Dhillion at 16, amongst many other Sikhs, immigrated to Canada for different opportunities in the country, with his dream opportunity being an RCMP officer. 3. White immigrants were the primary immigrants only allowed to enter Canada, before laws gradually allowed other groups of people during in the 1960s and 70s and up. This can be shown with an example of the Inglis factory, where at first it was primarily Scottish and Irish workers at the plant, until it turned into a plant with communication translations for 9 languages from immigrants of different descents.

Examples from the movie: 1. James Schmalz, in 1980, saves up money to buy himself a piece of technology not many people at the time owned, which was a personal computer, which helped provide productivity in the workplace, entertainment through video games and more. 2. Telephones are a historic piece of technology in Canada, allowing people access to easy communication between each other, while also creating jobs such as telephone operators. 3. Robots were starting to be introduced into manufacturing primarily in Japan. This was automating work that many people have relied on for their jobs, which threatened job security of many people, including those in the Inglis Factory, a manufacturing plant in Ontario.
