Civil Rights - Criminal Law

[August1991]

What individuals do in private is their own business.

"But when it becomes public, it's a different matter."

When is the State involved?

======

I oppose victim statements.

[Goober National]

The state should only be limited to its primary role - maintain civil, national defence, infrastructure and broadly the economy. THAT'S IT. Anything else, they need to be told a word that's not allowed here.

Disagree.

The State should not be involved in civil matters.

Collective criminal issues, I agree.

I admire our federal Official Languages Act of 1969.

But Trudeau first (under Pearson) changed the federal criminal code.

In Victoria, we Canadians could have had a Constitution and an amending method.

Parizeau and Bourassa are now dead. Claude Morin? Dunno.

Or perhaps you give people a lot more credit than they deserve. What you suggest requires a lot of education in order to work. Easier said than done. But then young people like you are always so simple, in your idealistic pragmatism...

In this video/quote, Trudeau Snr made plain the difference between Civil Code thinking vs common law thinking.

Your federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 was an intrusion into private contract.

Moreover, it intrudes on State Rights. My favourite of your Constitution, your 10th Amendment:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

[August1991]

This famous quote of Trudeau Snr is remarkable.

He defined private, and the state. Heck, as he looked out: a federal state.

For centuries, Europe has had many numerous wars.

Your Abraham Lincoln kept the Union together -after a bloody Civil War: The worst on this continent.

Yet for centuries, we Canadians have avoided civil war. We get along.

Red River Rebellion to Bill 101? How many people in Canada died?

The Americans had a horrific Civil War in the 1860s.

We Canadians have two federal official languages, and we get along.

If u believe that Quebec's fascist language laws aren't divisive, u should put down the bong. 

Quebec is supported (BQ) in its's attempt to secede - if the PQ take power standby for a referendum.

Believe the Red River Rebellion (cultural split) resulted in the murder of Thomas Scott - by Louis Riel?

The Northwest Rebellion resulted in the Federal Government to call out the militia, travel 1500 miles on the new CPR to put down the revolt  - the postage stamp province was born. 

Riel was captured and hung - Franco complained and the Anglo reneged - result is that Riel is now considered a father of Confederation  and revered. 

The Americans fought the war of northern aggression with the southern invasion of the confederacy......... preventing them from seceding. 

The October crisis resulted in the death of Pierre Laporte and the PM evoking the War Measures Act? Quebec was occupied territory and the action was much resented. 

........... arguably the October crisis resulted in the election of Rene Levesque and his separatists and by extension the most divisive statute imaginable - Bill 101.
