Minimum wage: The minimum wage in Canada aims to ensure that economic inequality is ensured and that workers can fulfill basic needs and live with dignity.

Human Rights Legislation: Canada's laws regarding human rights are able to protect the rights of all individuals and allow everyone to succeed with equal opportunities.]]> 2023-04-14 16:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/Wxr/v8g72499sj44jtha/wish/2554753795 Wxr https://padlet.com/Wxr/v8g72499sj44jtha/wish/2554778007 Even though Canada strives for universal healthcare, the degradation of Rawls' Theory of Justice becomes when analyzing the system further. This is due to the fact that within the system, many people are still discriminated against based on their identity i.e.; socio-economic status, race, and gender.

A further example is the limited access to justice that plagues the Canadian justice system. It specifically discriminates low income families and can result in their unequal treatment under the law, due to their inability to afford a proper legal defence.]]> 2023-04-14 16:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/Wxr/v8g72499sj44jtha/wish/2554778007 Wxr https://padlet.com/Wxr/v8g72499sj44jtha/wish/2554781575 1st principle: The Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects the individual's rights, which guarantees rights such as expression,  religion, and association. This shows Canada's significant progress in achieving the first principle.

2nd principle: Social and economic inequalities are still persistent in groups such as people living in poverty, Indigenous peoples, and other radicalized communities. The distribution of wealth and income still have great inequalities despite the robust social welfare programs because of the widening gap between the wealthy and the poor.

Therefore, despite the progress and advancement towards the final goal, there is still plenty of space for development and improvement.]]> 2023-04-14 16:44:52 UTC https://padlet.com/Wxr/v8g72499sj44jtha/wish/2554781575 Wxr https://padlet.com/Wxr/v8g72499sj44jtha/wish/2554782385 This theory is useful when thinking about bringing justice and fairness to society. It would result in the rearrangement of inequalities and it would further ensure that tall people are treated with respect. However, there are also many other approaches and frameworks to thinking about this topic that are able to address other concerns. That being said, Rawl's Theory of Justice is effective to the extent of its applicability to problems in systems and the complexity of real world situations.]]> 2023-04-14 16:45:35 UTC https://padlet.com/Wxr/v8g72499sj44jtha/wish/2554782385 Wxr https://padlet.com/Wxr/v8g72499sj44jtha/wish/2554782607 1. Principle of basic equal rights and liberties:
- All should have equal rights to basic freedoms such as freedom of speech and beliefs.
2. Principle of difference:
- Social and economic inequalities should benefit the least advantageous members of society and that inequality is acceptable to some extent as long as the worst are benefitted.]]> 2023-04-14 16:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/Wxr/v8g72499sj44jtha/wish/2554782607
