The Charter... Does it do any good in preserving our freedom? The role of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (a.k.a. Canada Act, 1982) is to restrict government power, via (UK) legislative enactment, from denying your basic and absolute rights as also expressed in our Constitution (the Magna Carta). These allegedly include: Life (your right to exist, be happy, create) Liberty (which includes the right of creating, selling or lawfully obtaining property - as well as right of ownership of ALL lawfully obtained property, etc) Security (the right to be free from aggression, or unlawful use of force - the right to use force against ANY aggression, either foreign or domestic, individual or government) Equality (based on the long-standing 'Rule of Law' principle, that everyone is equal before and under law, and that no status of preferred treatment can exist under the law) [See: Government bars injunction for an example of how the government doesn't understand its own simple "rule of law" theory] The Charter is merely regarded as another 'piece of legislation', however, it is supposed to be the Supreme Law of Canada, as binding the government to standard "principles of justice" and rule of law. All sounds very nice... but what actually have the Courts done in enforcing this 'little bit of legislation' intended as a rod of correction for government abuse of power? The answer may surprise you... It definitely should disappoint and anger you. Anger you, IF in fact you value your rights.
