In conceptualising the Canadian federation and the driving force behind the state’s development, Peter H. Russel frames it as the conciliation of interests in the relationship between the three founding nations – Aboriginals, Anglophones, and Francophones. As the recent nation-wide demonstrations against the Coastal Link pipeline trespassing on Wet’suwet’en land has demonstrated, they are far from equal partners. The incident is indicative of a broader trend of the non-Aboriginal nations creating an environment that obstructs and disincentives Aboriginal participation in the daily functioning of Canadian society, politics being no exception. This exclusion is much to the detriment to the strength of Canadian society. Accordingly, this paper examines Aboriginal absenteeism from Canadian politics as to identify the obstacles to their meaningful political participation with the wider aim of aiding the redefining of the relationship between the founding nations that recognises the Aboriginal nation as an equal partner.

There is a distinct lack of research regarding the relationship with the body in women with endometriosis, despite the condition involving significant changes to appearance and impaired bodily functionality. The current study aimed to understand how women with endometriosis experience their body and involved participants completing open-ended questions regarding how they feel about their body generally, their physical appearance specifically, and their level of daily functioning, in an online survey. Responses from 306 Australasian women with endometriosis were analysed, with four themes being identified: 1) “Less attractive, less than ideal”; 2) Not functioning as a woman’s body “should”; 3) The body as the uncontrollable and despised “other”, and 4) Acceptance and self-compassion: A sense of understanding and gratitude towards the body. The findings provide support for the notion that the relationship between the body and sense of self is particularly problematic for women with endometriosis and warrants therapeutic intervention. Future research should aim to verify the efficacy of acceptance and mindfulness-based body image interventions for women with endometriosis.

Introduction: Chest pain is one of the symptoms of lung cancer.Chest pain disrupts patient’s functioning in somatic and psychic area. Purpose: Whether the existence of chest pain affects the level of perioperative anxiety in lung cancer patients. Is there a relationship between everyday functioning due to the chest pain and the level of perioperative anxiety? Is there a relation between anxiety associated with pain and gender? What is the cause of anxiety in this group of the patiens? Methodology: The study was conducted among 150 patients with lung cancer before the scheduled surgery. Data was collected with the use of questionnaire assessment of perioperative anxiety level in patients with lung cancer. Results: The chest pain before the surgery was confirmed by 63 (42%) patients, in case of 87 (58%) patients it was not identified. Chest pain was in case of 48% women and 36% men. 50 (33,3%) research participants who experienced chest pain and 35 patients (23,3%) without this symptom declared experiencing perioperative anxiety. In patients with lung cancer, the correlation: between chest pain and perioperative anxiety was (Z = -4.67; p< .001); between the difficult daily functioning of pain and perioperative anxiety was (Z = -4.72; p< .001); between gender and perioperative anxiety associated with pain was (Z = -3.24; p = 001).Patients afraid of: pain (37,3%), breathing problems (24,0%), physical disability (16,0%), eating problems (12,0%) sleep disorders (9,3%), nothing (1,3%). Conclusions: Patients with chest pain exhibited significantly higher of perioperative anxiety levels than non-symptomatic patients, as well as higher anxiety levels due to deteriorated daily functioning caused by the disorder. Women had a higher level of anxiety associated with pain than men before the surgery. Patients with lung cancer were most afraid of pain in the perioperative period.
