Welcome to Mr. Jones Canadian Law 40S Page
Welcome!
You’re about to embark on a journey of discovery, where you’ll learn new skills and challenge yourself every single day. Take a look at all the relevant details about my class and if you have any questions, please feel free to connect with me and get in touch. These times of uncertainty with COVID-19 are difficult for us all but together as as a team, we can help you stay focused and achieve your goals. Everything will be back to normal before you know it :)
​
If you have any questions please feel free to connect with me at:
​
OR
​
I will respond as soon as I can to answer your questions.
​
In the sections below, you will find a day by day break down of what each class will look like so that it is easy to follow along. Details about submission of work will also be included with each piece as there will be numerous ways that we will be running class and every class will not be exactly the same. Each class will state the requirement of that particular class, including assignments, work to be completed as well as PowerPoint slides to follow and most importantly, the specific times we will be live as a class, and the method in which this will be achieved (e.g. Zoom Live Video Conferencing)
Class Overview
In the information below, you will find what will be scheduled for each class moving forward. Not every class will run the same, however, you will be expected to do your part and complete as much as you can. Classes will contain aspects such as videos, live streaming Question and Answer, prerecorded videos to watch and much more. I want to try and make this as engaging for your learning as I can however, we all know this is uncharted territory for us all. If we all stick together and help each other with the learning process, the time of COVID-19 Coronavirus will be a distant memory and something that you talk about for years to come. Remember - it can only make you a stronger person :)

2 ways to enforcing rights and Freedoms:
-
Utilizing authority given under section 52 of Constitution Act
​
-
The Constitution is the most powerful law in Canada, if other laws or parts of laws can be used to go against the constitution = unconstitutional. This provides 3 options:
​
-
Strike Down - law no longer has any effect
-
Read Down - allows for narrow interpretation of the law, usually considers what is in statute
-
Read In - Changes the law but also allows law to be upheld as constitutional
​
2. Seeking a remedy under section 24 of the CCoRaF
-
Rights infringed

​
When complete, it will ask you to select a licence in order to print the will - DO NOT DO THIS - instead, copy and paste the information into a word or google doc (it might not be straight forward however). I look forward to reading through them :) Feel free to be as creative as you wish. The whole process takes a nice short amount of time to complete - however, I want you to read the information about wills on the page first :)
