Dru Posted April 13, 2004 Author Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hmmm, in Canada I can't say gay sex is evil (it isn't), in the US I can't say that climate change is happening (it is) and remain on the government payroll. Which is worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkyclimber Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Since Canada has no First Amendment, anti-bias laws generally trump free speech and freedom of religion. That is a crazy article. Yes, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms doesn't have a "First Amendment". Instead, it has a "Section 2": Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: a) freedom of conscience and religion; b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and d) freedom of association. Now, let's compare it to the "First Amendment": "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. " I suppose the author is right: Canada doesn't enjoy "1st amendment" rights....because the words "1st amendment" do not fall anywhere in the document. Crazy.

Lars Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 technically you are right, they dont have "first amendment" rights...but just try selling the people on "section 2" rights down here in the states. God Bless America Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
