Wikipedia:WikiProject Canadian law

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Canadian law. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

Scope edit

This WikiProject's scope is all areas of Canadian law, from federal constitutional law, to provincial law and municipal bylaws, to expand the amount of information on these laws on Wikipedia. We will also strive to include case law, and various court rulings.

Requests edit

Are you talking about the human rights tribunal case from 1975 regarding Aborginal rights? Unfortunately, given that it's a tribunal case from the 70s, and not a court case, it is not easy to find the text of the article. Perhaps someone with access to the case can write something (if it's noteable)? Otherwise, this request should be removed. Singularity42 (talk) 17:39, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The cases are Haida Nation v. British Columbia (Minister of Forests), [2004] 3 S.C.R. 511 and Taku River Tlingit First Nation v. British Columbia (Project Assessment Director), [2004] 3 S.C.R. 550. They were indeed heard together. Unfortunately, aboriginal law is not my strong suit, but if I have time I'll see if I can at least put a small article together... if someone doesn't beat me to the punch. Singularity42 (talk) 17:39, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There are a number of related cases, from 2002 to 2008. More info required, or this request will have to be removed. Singularity42 (talk) 17:39, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • unceded claims is a POV title, in my estimation, but I was concerned on the Delgamuukw talkpage about the apprent misrepresentation of how it was that BC came to ignore aboriginal claims, which the article currently says was the colony's doing; the provicne's position has always been (until recanted in recent times) that it was one of the consequences of joining Confederation that absolved BC of any responsibility for unresolved claims. Land claims in BC ara separate subject than elsewhere, e.g. in Land claims; not sure what an appropriate title should be i.e. where unceded claims/unceded lands might redirect to; those are buzzpharses from the native polity and carry with them implicitly judgments so they won't do.Skookum1 (talk) 01:57, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fred Quilt case or Fred Quilt investigation. The beating-death of Fred Quilt, a Tsilhqot'in chief, in the early 1970s, was one of the hinge-events galvanizing aborignail reform in British Columbia; largely hushed up now. here is a google for "Fred Quilt"
I believe this request is outside of this project's scope. Your are looking for more of a biographical/historical article versus an article about Canadian law. Consider Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Canada instead. Singularity42 (talk) 17:47, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • BC Legislature Raids needs the legal cases broken off and expanded, especially given the many extraordinary judgments to do with evidence during the preliminary hearings so far, and issue to do with privilege and more....sadly, because of a near-blackout by the major media, most of the online sources for this are in blogspace, althouyg Bill Tielemann has published various articles in The Tyee, The Straight and occasionally in other outlets. Skookum1 (talk) 01:57, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • A number of the judges listed at Template:FederalCourtsOfCanada needs bios written (most are in stub form at the moment). Thanks Sherurcif for putting together such a useful template! Singularity42 (talk) 16:27, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could someone write an article on Canada's Customs Act? -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 04:29, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have added third party references to the McCarthy Tetrault article page to enhance its validity. It would be great to have external confirmation that these references are suitable. Many thanks! Toogreen (talk) 20:06, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would like to request a page made on Breach of undertaking or a proper redirect to the appropriate/equivalent charge. CaffeinAddict (talk) 15:53, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've recently added all of the Supreme Court of Canada decisions to Wikidata (https://w.wiki/9qHj). These include connections to CanLII and to the SCC docket (when a docket number is available). I'm in the process of adding how the judgements were made (https://w.wiki/9p8H) to these decisions. I would like to be able to also note who were the interveners in each SCC case in Wikidata. If you are in support of this possibility, please consider my proposal for an intervenor property in Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Organization#intervener Copystar (talk)

Things You Can Do edit

  1. Tag related articles talk pages (at the top) with {{WikiProject Canada| canlaw=yes}}.
  2. Come up with a potential list of missing articles that need to be created.
  3. Re-tag related stub pages with {{Canada-law-stub}}.
  4. Adopt an article: Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced. Example article: User:Example
  5. Develop common standards and formats for pages on Canadian law.
  6. Expand the number of articles on Canadian law.
