James hildebrand: rights reserved i am the author of these comments, they are protected by the laws of copyright in canada, and are not to be reproduced or copied without prior written permission of the author, me. First and foremost: these introductory notes explain what we are going to be reading. The introductory comments are essential to an understanding of the materials for the entire year. I have greatly simplified these things, this doesn"t mean you should skim over them. You may also find it helpful, after reading some cases, to go back to these introductory comments. The simplest way to describe law in the canadian legal system is to call it a set of rules that will, ultimately, be enforced by the state. The state has power", i suppose, at the end of the barrel of a gun (until a better weapon comes along).
