Mr Truchon said, well, «I want to see this winter, live theough it, then the next spring, then we will see what happens next summer». To much for the emergency of changing the law.<br /><br />Gilles Saint-Amour<br />Lévis, Qué. <br />Gilles Saint-Amournoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-59639239985789903642019-10-09T14:56:52.978-04:002019-10-09T14:56:52.978-04:00Am I correct in saying that an unfortunate result ...Am I correct in saying that an unfortunate result of the Charter of Rights is that Judges have power to legislate? We should revise it. Secondly, does it not seem that Judges interpreted the Canadian Charter as based on the foundation of "rule of law" only while ignoring the foundation of "supremacy of God", as specified in the Charter preamble? Surely, the Judeo-Christian God's commandments such as Do not murder, Do not steal, do not lie or cheet, care for the child, orphan, widow, the poor, sick, disabled, and dying, the command to seek peace, love enemies, etc. formed Canada's foundation of laws and values. They set an objective standard of right and wrong. But that foundation has eroded. <br />Seems to me that now Canadian judges and legislators think even murder is not so wrong anymore. Perhaps Canadians aught to stand guard against such thinking and demand they use God's laws as the objective truth again. We Canadians need to repair this 2nd foundation before our government, say, builds "death centres" to solve its problems of the high costs of health care, homelessness, mental illness, palliative care, disabilities, poverty, unemployment, refugees, etc. <br />The Nazis euthanized their own people first to free up hospital beds for soldiers: 70k+ long term sick and disabled men, women, and children euthanized at death centers, justifed because these were not living lives that were worthwhile. Later they sent the gypsies, political dissonants, and other scaoegoats like the Jews.<br />"Never Again" Canada!D Desrochershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13348164045308989505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-23266061102667537192019-10-09T13:27:50.182-04:002019-10-09T13:27:50.182-04:00Very disappointing.

He has taken pains not to appear eager to challenge legal decisions made in Quebec, including the recent religious symbols law, as the LIberals need votes there.Paul Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07257590109956771991noreply@blogger.com
