Having the vast majority of a page nominally about human rights in Canada devoted to a single incident is inappropriate, see WP:COAT. An article about human rights in any country should provide a balanced view of the subject, rather than focusing on a single topic. Having an article about the High Arctic relocation is fine, but not under such an all-encompassing title. Hqb ( talk) 16:57, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the following from the page:
It is not Canadian specific.
It is not something only Canada is doing (Canadians are not the only people that have greenhouse gasses).
It is more appropriate here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.70.18.196 ( talk) 12:08, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
See discussion here on items to include. BrainyBabe ( talk) 08:24, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
When reviewing the two articles I noticed the content was very similar. Also the human rights page has a lack of background (it is mostly just violations) so the merge would do good. User:jfry3 ( talk) april 12 09
I expected this article to be about the state of human rights in Canada today, not a series of events that happen 60, 100, 300 years ago that the government has already apologized for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.14.106.155 ( talk) 03:08, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Events 60, 100, 300 years ago are very important and very relevant to this article. Besides, the article does mention Canadian Human rights in Canada today in a roundabout way and with not enough information. I somewhat agree, however. There must be more information about the topic. Sakurato ( talk) 18:18, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
I think the plight of Omahar Khadr should be added here. Justice delayed is justice denied. Turidoth ( talk) 04:19, 5 December 2009 (UTC) Also possible additions include Oka(1990), Ipperwash(1995) and Dziekański(2007) Turidoth ( talk) 03:29, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
I don't see anything about RECENT good human rights records. This makes Canada look like a bad country to live in which it is not.-- 99.237.222.73 ( talk) 03:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Does it really make sense to say that Bill 101 was a violation of human rights by CANADA? Since Quebec is a unique province and any other province probably wouldn't have forbade people to speak ENGLISH, it's sort of a "rebel violation". It's like saying that since Palestine has killed Israeli soldiers but they are still part of Israel, Israel has violated the rights of Jews.-- 99.237.222.73 ( talk) 16:53, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
] >> Seeking justice for Canada's murdered women ( Lihaas ( talk) 18:40, 7 March 2014 (UTC)).
A news section is required for Canadian Human rights violations in the recent Israel-Gaza conflict. According to recent documents released to the Toronto Star by Global Affairs of Canada, the federal government approved over $28.5 million in new export permits for military goods and technology to Israel in the conflict's initial two months. 46.31.112.221 ( talk) 06:48, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
It is a blatant violation of human rights since the administration of the State of Israel and IDF forces are committing genocide in Gaza. Have you not been following the news? 46.31.112.221 ( talk) 08:06, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
