In order to protect local interests, and to prevent sectional jealousies, it was found requisite that the three great divisions into which British North America is separated, should be represented in the Upper House on the principle of equality. There are three great sections, having different interests, in this proposed Confederation.

To the Upper House is to be confided the protection of sectional interests ; therefore is it that the three great divisions are there equally represented, for the purpose of defending such interests against the combinations of majorities in the Assembly.

But the very essence of our compact is that the union shall be federal and not legislative. Our Lower Canada friends have agreed to give us representation by population in the Lower House, on the express condition that they shall have equality in the Upper House. On no other condition could we have advanced a step ; and, for my part, I am quite willing they should have it. In maintaining the existing sectional boundaries and handing over the control of local matters to local bodies, we recognize, to a certain extent, a diversity of interests ; and it was quite natural that the protection for those interests, by equality in the Upper Chamber, should be demanded by the less numerous provinces.

A number of openly lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) candidates ran for seats in legislative and local elections to increase their political visibility and participation.
What this means is that the government has really not desire about the people and they don't care what is being said at all in that matter.

The government failed to finalize and implement a draft National Human Rights Plan after consulting in 2015 with human rights organizations.
Even though the DR is making great strides to be more modern, they still find difficulties in handling human rights

It is nice to hear more about the LGBT's progression of being recognised in other parts of the world other than the U.S.

A U.N.-backed study released this year estimated that there are nearly 210,000 Dominican-born people of Haitian descent and roughly another 34,000 born to parents of another nationality.
I couldn't imagine going through this. Both my parents are European immigrants and I am an American citizen, and I can't imagine being told that I can no longer be an American citizen just because my parents aren't.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Experts warned Friday that a Dominican court decision to strip citizenship from children of Haitian migrants could cause a human rights crisis, potentially leaving tens of thousands of people stateless, facing mass deportation and discrimination.
All humans have basic rights, and by separating families you are violating their rights People of different nationalities are feeling in violation of their rights as they fear deportation and separation of their families

Meanwhile, the military announced that it had deported 47,700 Haitians caught entering the country in the past year, more than double the nearly 21,000 deported in the previous year.
We have this type of issue now with the mass population with illegal immigrants that Trump promised to deport. When we hear about it from other countries, we think it is cruel but we voted for a president who plans on doing the same thing in our country.

I cannot imagine having my citizenship taken away from me after fleeing from a country where it had a lot of violence and dictatorship. I can safely say that it is as if taking my safety away from me and throwing me out back to the wolves.
