I have faith that IF such legislation IS tabled, that:
a) The voters will show their distaste and anger at the polls;
b) The supreme court will recognize the unconstitutional nature of the bill and find it of no force and effect
Freedom of religion is not absolute. Section 1 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms states:
1. The 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 freedom of religion is NOT absolute... it must be tempered along side the other rights guaranteed by the Charter, with no single right having dominance over the others.
This is the face of the Conservatives I was waiting for, and knew it would come about eventually.
I almost hope they table this so that it can bite them in the ass so hard the won't come to power for another 13 years.
