I am posting this here instead of Tilted Politics, because frankly, that is obviously an American oriented board, and anything there is pretty much assumed to become engrossed in whatever the daily liberal/conservative democrat/republican issue is of the day..

Originally we had the Canadian Bill of Rights.. This was adapted and superceded by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Do you feel that the document has the power it requires? Do you feel it even impacts us today? Do you even know what it is?

Here's a snip of the original document that I love..

free to speak without fear,
free to worship in my own way,
free to stand for what I think right,
free to oppose what I believe wrong,
or free to choose those
who shall govern my country.
This heritage of freedom
I pledge to uphold
for myself and all mankind."

From the Canadian Bill of Rights,
July 1, 1960.
