Maynard Ferguson

Maynard Ferguson, CM, jazz trumpeter, bandleader, flugelhornist, trombonist (born 4 May 1928 in Verdun, QC; died 23 August 2006 in Ventura, California). Maynard Ferguson stood second only to Oscar Peterson among the most popular Canadian jazz musicians. With a remarkable facility in the trumpet’s highest register as his trademark, Ferguson firmly established himself as a featured soloist. He made records under his own name starting in 1950 and won the Down Beat readers’ polls for trumpet three years in a row (1950–52). However, he was sometimes dismissed by critics due to his flamboyant playing and performance style. He was inducted into the Down Beat Hall of Fame and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and was a Member of the Order of Canada.

McIvor Case

The McIvor v. Canada case was about gender discrimination in section 6 of the 1985 Indian Act, which deals with Indian status. Sharon McIvor — a woman who regained status rights after the passing of Bill C-31 in 1985 — was not able to pass on those rights to her descendants in the same way that a man with status could. In her case against the federal government, the British Columbia Supreme Court ruled in 2007 that section 6 did, in fact, deny McIvor’s equality rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In response to this case, the federal government introduced new legislation (Bill C-3) in 2011 to counter gender discrimination in the Indian Act.
