I want help with this new way we tend to view the constitution. I am over 50 now and since those very Liberal days of Trudeau and the institution of government funded lobby one of the many things I have become totally disillusioned about is the way young people interperate the Canadian constitution. I was raised to believe that our fathers meant for the constitution to be the kind of document that would prevent the mistreatment of a people by their government, in a nut shell a document that would restrict the actions of government. When I ask my own kids and others, even some polititions they have developed a very twisted concept of the constitution as to believe now that the constitution is a document that demands that all people are treated equal under the law. and it is the government's duty to enforce the constitution. I Truely want any and all to comment on this but please, please, please do not comment until you have asked at least 3 young people which definition they believe is true.
