Document Summary
Once we start discussing people, and various peoples place in the political order, politics gets more intense and more emotional. When states decide peoples political claims it becomes the recognition of some and the over looking of others: self worth, identity and political justice, determination of who is politically significant and who is not. State policies also distribute power (not just about recognition) but once a group is politically recognized they automatically become more powerful than those that are not politically recognized. Efforts of different groups to gain recognition minorities trying to be explicitly stated in the constitution (constitutional recognition) Different groups in canada have a different vision of canada: politically arrangement is driving their policy stance, disagree over what kind of nation canada is and should be. Indigeneity: dissatisfied with the recognition they have, claim that their sovereignty was not acknowledged as pre existing people.
