Machjo Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Considering that in the past there has been much opposition to including property rights to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and that Quebec already has its own Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, why could Ontario not adopt its own Ontario Declaration of Human Rights. Granted, like the Quebec Charter, it would not be a constitutional text but merely a legislative one which could be abrogated with simply a 50%+1 majority of Members of the Provincial Parliament. However, this does not change the fact that it would still have legislative force in Ontario, and that it would, we hope, become difficult for an MPP to vote to abrogate it once past without consequence in his riding the following election. Though such a bill would have no constitutional force, it would still have at least legal force in the province of Ontario. Any comments on such an idea?

Having scanned the document I can't find where it is the right (or not) of politicians to grossly and purposefully lie in an election campaign.
