Dougie93 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Posted June 16, 2021 the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms, plus the exact fare, gets you a ride on the public transit Quote
Army Guy Posted June 16, 2021 Report Posted June 16, 2021 2 minutes ago, Aristides said: Yet they don't violate the Charter, that is why no challenges have stood up. What people think their rights are and what the Charter actually says they are can differ substantially. Maybe it is time to actually read the charter of rights, under sub heading mobility rights, it clearly spelled out in the first lines. Check our history, see FLQ crises, and tell me NO charter rights were broken, They can be suspended or revoked by the Government as they see fit... 1. Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. The rights and freedoms in the Charter are not absolute. They can be limited to protect other rights or important national values. For example, freedom of expression may be limited by laws against hate propaganda or child pornography.

We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.

I don't think so. They're joining the nation as citizens under our leader the Queen, who is the physical embodiment of the state, as head of state.

If you are asked to raise your hand to Hitler, the Queen or any other leader just so you have your basic rights recognised, what kind of message does this send?? We ask new citizens to do this every day. You do realize we live in a constitutional monarchy right? I'm not saying our system is the ideal, but let's face the facts of what it is at least. A monarchy is a monarchy. Hail to the king, baby. Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.

There was no Charter or Constitution at the time of the FLQ crisis. You should think about this for a second, how is law made, can the government make the law, or pass a bill to make it law, yes or no... could they restrict movement during a crises. yes they can and yes they did. Do you think we had no rights before 1982 ? Pierre Trudeau did many things, but he did not give Canada its own constitution – his government merely build upon a constitution that, contrary to popular belief, had already been well-established. The Trudeau government did “give us the Charter” – but Trudeau did not suddenly confer rights upon previously subjugated Canadians. The Charter merely codified most of the rights that Canadians had already long enjoyed. Defining Canada’s Constitution: Canada Did Have One Before Trudeau and 1982! | James Bowden's Blog (parliamentum.org) A novel part of the document was the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This set down 34 rights to be observed across Canada, ranging from freedom of religion to linguistic and educational rights based on the test of numbers. Many of the rights could be overridden by a “notwithstanding clause,” which allowed both the federal Parliament and the provincial legislatures to set aside guarantees in the Charter. Designed to preserve parliamentary supremacy, a basic political principle in Canada, “notwithstanding clauses” would have to be renewed every five years to remain in force. Thus the Charter of Rights was not fully entrenched in the Canadian constitution as the Bill of Rights was in that of the United States.

I'm the 5 th generation to serve in the military, my son is carrying on that tradition. but before you declare yourself a patriot and willing to defend your country . You should know most Canadians do not or could not give a shit, what you sacrifice in the name of the country, shit we can not even treat our current veterans with the care they need, because they are asking for more than Justin can give right now... you should think twice before going down with a ship filled with ungrateful people and government who may or may not be worth the sacrifice... Don't get me wrong i would give my life up in a flash if my comrades in arms asked for it for them i would serve once more, ... but i would not serve this nation again. I'm not the only one that feels this way many Afghanistan vets feel this way, I'm not the only one, that feels like they were betrayed ... one more point the last veterans that have any benefits to veterans rights are those that served in Korea, once those men and women die off all vet hospitals and care facilities will cease providing for other serving or retired military/ RCMP personal , along with all the care and benefits they receive.. Technically today we are not called veterans, according to the government and the legion. we are retired members of the military and not subjected to the same treatment. 1 Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

Look into the Muslim conquests of India sometime if you want your hair curled. The stories make Hitler's Nazis look like gentlemen. 1 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
