2. POLITICAL AND LEGAL TRANSFORMATION
The Dickson case (2024) shows a change in the way courts deal with s. 25 of the Charter. Whereas in Kapp (2008), the majority abstained from addressing s. 25 (although Justice Bastarache made a dissenting opinion), in Dickson the court explicitly used s. 25 to protect indigenous difference and promote reconciliation.
Drawing on Dickson (2024), Kapp (2008), and the article by Amy Swiffen (2022) (all available in Ares), write a 2000-word essay on how the use of s. 25 has changed in the courts. Be precise. Ensure you have a clearly argued thesis, supporting points, evidence, thorough citations, and that you edit for clarity and errors.
