Canada has a constitutional democracy with three branches of government: the executive branch headed by the Prime Minister, the legislative branch consisting of the elected House of Commons and appointed Senate, and the judicial branch headed by the courts. While Canada has a monarch, the Queen is represented by the Governor General and is not involved in everyday governance, maintaining a role as a safeguard for democracy. Citizens elect representatives to the House of Commons on their behalf, as a direct democracy is not practical for a large nation.

Local Government Reforms in Pakistan: Context, Content and Causes fatanews
This paper examines the recent decentralization reforms in Pakistan under
General Musharraf. We highlight major aspects of this reform and analyze its
evolution in a historical context to better understand potential causes behind this
current decentralization. Analyzing the evolution of local government reforms in
Pakistan is interesting because each of the three major reform experiments has
been instituted at the behest of a non-representative centre using a ‘top down’
approach. Each of these reform experiments is a complementary change to a
wider constitutional reengineering strategy devised to further centralization of
political power in the hands of the non-representative centre. We argue that the
design of the local government reforms in these contexts becomes endogenous to
the centralization objectives of the non-representative centre. It is hoped that
analyzing the Pakistani experience will help shed light on the positive political
economy question of why non-representative regimes have been willing
proponents of decentralization to the local level.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Roots of the Canadian Government
The principal features of our democratic government is that
it is both
A) Representative (not Direct)
B) A Constitutional Monarchy
3. Representative
- Democracy literally means “rule by the people”
- Direct Democracy means that every eligible citizen participated
directly by voting in all the decisions that affected society
(Greeks)
- In a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY citizens allow elected
officials to act on their behalf
- Why?
4. Constitutional Monarchy
- Recognition of the monarch (Queen
Elizabeth II) as the Head of State, represented
by the Governor General
- Not involved in everyday affairs (eg. Royal
assent) BUT represents a safeguard for our
democracy
- The Crown has ultimate power/authority to
ensure that no one can ignore the law (not
even the PM)
5.
6. Governor General
- Because the Queen has lots to do,
she has an appointed representative
to rule on her behalf in Canada.
- This person is called the Governor
General. They are appointed by the
Prime Minister. GG. David Johnston
7. How our Government Runs: The
Parliamentary System
- Because our government is Democratic, we have a
parliament that acts on behalf of the citizens
- The Parliament is made up of all the elected
representatives from throughout Canada. They are known
as Members of Parliament (MP’s)
- Canada’s Head of Government is the Prime Minister. He is
the leader of the elected party.
8. How our Government is structured
- Our Federal Government has three “Branches”
1) Executive Branch: has the power to administer and carry out laws, eg:
- setting the budget, making purchases for national defense,
running the day to day operations of Canada etc.
2) Legislative Branch: has the power to make and amend laws
- setting employment insurance levels, creating taxes on carbon
emissions
3) Judicial Branch: Has the power to decide who has broken those laws and how
to set penalties
9. Executive Branch: PM
- Comprised of the Prime
Minister, the Cabinet, and
the Governor General
10.
11. Legislative Branch: House of Commons
- The House of Commons is
where the elected MP’s meet
to pass legislation and
govern the country
- Heated debates between
MP’s of different parties
12. Legislative Branch cont.: The Senate
- The Senate overlooks Bills (pieces of legislation) that have
been passed by the House of Commons. Very rarely do they
refuse a bill that has been passed by the H.O.C.
- The Senate is not an elected body. Members of the Senate
are appointed by the Prime Minister.
- Being chosen for the Senate is seen as a “reward” for
public service. Senators can hold office (and collect their
nice large salaries $$$) until they are 75. Some people think
the senate should be abolished…
13.
14. Judicial Branch
- The Judiciary is separate from the other two branches to
ensure that the government acts within the boundaries of
the Constitution and the law.
- Judges act as "referees" of private rights and interpreters
of the Constitution
- Supreme Court, Federal Court, Provincial Court, Tax Court
