Book Description
Canada's payday lending industry is estimated to generate more than $1 billion in annual revenue. This is only an estimate because there is no hard data on any aspect of the industry. No one really knows how many payday lenders there are. No one knows what the real cost structure of providing small loans is in Canada. And no one knows how many lives have been devastated by payday lenders and the debt traps they create. No one knows any of the above with any certainty because the payday lending industry is a rare animal in the world of financial services: it is unregulated, unaccountable and, according to many observers, out of control. In the following pages we will briefly describe the major problems that characterize payday lending. We'll discuss the big players and outline their efforts to avoid regulation and/or shape any regulatory effort to their advantage. And we'll talk about the modest-to-glacial steps governments are taking or considering.

Toward the Charter

ISBN: 9780773525368
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
At the end of the Second World War, a growing concern that Canadians' civil liberties were not adequately protected, coupled with the international revival of the concept of universal human rights, led to a long public campaign to adopt a national bill of rights. While these initial efforts had been only partially successful by the 1960s, they laid the foundation for the radical change in Canadian human rights achieved by Pierre Elliott Trudeau in the 1980s. In Toward the Charter Christopher MacLennan explores the origins of this dramatic revolution in Canadian human rights, from its beginnings in the Great Depression to the critical developments of the 1960s. Drawing heavily on the experiences of a diverse range of human rights advocates, the author provides a detailed account of the various efforts to resist the abuse of civil liberties at the hands of the federal government and provincial legislatures and the resulting campaign for a national bill of rights. The important roles played by parliamentarians such as John Diefenbaker and academics such as F.R. Scott are placed alongside those of trade unionists, women, and a long list of individuals representing Canada's multicultural groups to reveal the diversity of the bill of rights movement. At the same time MacLennan weaves Canadian-made arguments for a bill of rights with ideas from the international human rights movement led by the United Nations to show that the Canadian experience can only be understood within a wider, global context.
