dewline: Exclamation: "Hear, Hear!" (celebration)
[personal profile] dewline
Thirty years ago tomorrow, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was signed into law as part of the larger process of repatriating the Canadian Constitution from British to Canadian control. Since then, it's been at the heart of Canadian law, filling a role very much akin to that the US Bill of Rights.

The current government seems to have a problem with the idea of honouring this anniversary, the Charter apparently being seen by many in the New Conservatives' ranks as a legacy of their political enemies.

By comparison, most of the population of Canada, regardless of their political leanings, have their own opinions on the subject.

That would include me.

Happy birthday, Charter!

*raises a virtual toast!*

Here's to at least thirty more!
