2) left footprints
3) British colony
Explanation:
1) Although formal constitutional provisions are not exhaustive of the individual rights enjoyed by citizens of Canada or of the United States, a comparison of the new Canadian Charter and the United States Bill of Rights is illuminating. After discussing certain general topics relating to the scope of protected rights, including the requirement of governmental action, the assertion of affirmative rights and the degree of protection offered to victims of the incidental effects of discrimination, this article undertakes a comprehensive cataloguing of rights protected by the relevant United States and Canadian provisions. The article concludes that, in broad outline, the list of rights textually protected in each country is similar, but that there are distinctions which may be of importance, depending upon the approach taken ultimately by the Canadian judiciary. For example, the Charter seems to provide greater opportunities to assert collective minority rights than does the U.S. Bill of Rights. On the other hand, the Charter does not prohibit the "establishment" of religion, nor does it protect property rights explicitly. Drawing upon the wealth of United States case law, this article suggests potential difficulties for Canadian courts grappling with the Charter, and points to some possible solutions that have been devised by U.S. courts dealing with similar problems.
2) WHEN HUMANS WERE walking around the west coast of current day Canada 13,000 years ago, they left behind footprints.
That's according to a new study published in the journal PLOS ONE that outlines the discovery of 29 human footprints found at the shoreline of Calvert Island in British Columbia.
According to an interview with the New York Times, anthropologist Duncan McLaren from the Hakai Institute and University of Victoria first found the footprints in 2014. During subsequent trips in 2015 and 2016, more emerged.
Based on each foot's outline, the study theorizes that they were left by two adults and a child. The footprints are embedded in clay soil. Layered with coarser sediment like sand and another layer of clay, the landscape's natural terrain may have helped preserve the ancient remnants. When radiocarbon dating was performed on samples, scientists determined they were made 13,000 years ago.
This would make them the earliest known footprints found in North America.
What Does It Mean?
"This finding provides evidence of the seafaring people who inhabited this area during the tail end of the last major Ice Age," McLaren said in a press release.
Previous studies support a theory that humans arrived in North America by migrating over an intact land bridge that connected Asia to Alaska. The theory suggests early Americans then migrated south along the west coast.
OLDEST HUMAN FOSSIL OUTSIDE AFRICA DISCOVERED IN ISRAEL
January 25, 2018 - A human fossil found in Israel has revealed that our species left Africa more than 50,000 years earlier than thought. Part of an upper jaw with teeth, the fossil was discovered in 2002 on Mount Carmel in northern Israel. While large-scale migration didn't occur until around 50,000 to 60,000 years ago, small groups ventured out before then. Previously, our ancestors were thought to have initially traveled outside of Africa as far back as 120,000 years ago, but the new finding now puts that number at around 180,000 years ago. Scientists used four different dating methods to identify the age of the newfound fossil.
Looking for archaeological evidence of humans trekking south is difficult today. At the end of the last Ice Age, sea level in this region was six to ten feet lower, and today, dense forests blanket the coast. Much of the shore can only be reached by boat.
The study's authors say this rare find supports the idea that humans traveled south along a coastal route.
And Before That?
In 2007, DNA was extracted from a tooth found on Prince Wales Island in southern Alaska and revealed it to be 10,300 years old. Then, in 2008, a subsequent study analyzed modern and ancient genetic material and concluded humans arrived in the Americas no earlier than 15,000 years ago.

The Constitutional Act of 1791 divided the colony in two at the Ottawa River, so that the western part (Upper Canada) could be under the English legal system, with English speakers in the majority. The eastern part was named Lower Canada
