    Housing Rights in Canada

    The right to housing is a subject of increasing concern and discussion in Canadian society. The debate regarding the scope and application of housing rights in Canadian law, and the extent to which Canadians may claim these rights as fundamental legal rights, has become even more contentious in recent decades. The growing awareness of housing rights has been brought on by several factors, including: the housing crisis, gentrification, the general lack of affordable housing and the rise of people experiencing homelessness and living in encampments in Canadian cities (see Homelessness in Canada). The development and ongoing implementation of a federal regulatory and policy framework, the National Housing Strategy Act (2019), has also contributed to discussion about housing as a human right.

    Human Rights

    Human rights are rights that we all have by virtue of our shared humanity. Depending on the nature of the right, both individuals and groups can assert human rights. Human rights as we understand them today are a relatively modern concept. All human rights are indivisible, interrelated and interdependent. None has automatic precedence over any other. The realization of human rights is a constant struggle on the part of people who suffer injustices and who seek redress. Human rights are an important part of the social fabric of Canadian society. Canadians have also played a role in the evolution of human rights on the international stage.

    Human Settlement in Canada

    A human settlement is a place where people live. Settlement patterns describe the ways in which villages, towns, cities and First Nation reserves are distributed, as well as the factors that influence this arrangement. Throughout Canadian history, climate, natural resources, transportation methods and government policy have affected human settlement in the country. Today, the majority of Canadians live in cities in the southern portion of the country. (See also Human Geography and Canada.)
