Canadas Charter of Rights turned 40 this year and no one cared. Americas Constitution is celebrated on Sept 17 and is 235 years old

The differences are startling. We had a Charter after nearly 120 years as a nation, you had yours within a few years. Which country do you believe will abide by the critical civil liberties and rights of their citizens?

See below to learn a bit about the paperweight we call the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Get an understanding of how we as a perceived ally are a liability to Americas global Goodwill.

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms, or simply the Charter, is the most visible and recognized part of Canada’s Constitution. The Charter guarantees the rights of individuals by enshrining those rights, and certain limits on them, in the highest law of the land. Since its enactment in 1982, the Charter has created a social and legal revolution in Canada. It has expanded the rights of minorities and criminal defendants, transformed the nature and cost of criminal investigations and prosecutions, and subjected the will of Parliament and the legislatures to judicial scrutiny — an ongoing source of controversy.

I learned from a Canadian lawyer that a teenage girl murdered her entire family, but the media was forced to suppress the story because she was a minor.

That means Canada is not a free country.

Countries whose charters and constitutions were written with the blood of patriots tend to do a pretty good job of abiding by the critical civil liberties and rights of their citizens.

We seem to be slipping a little here in the US. It's been a pretty good run, though.
