"Constitutional Weakness:

Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms affords no property rights to its citizens (governments in Canada can expropriate private property without compensation) and individual rights to freedom of conscience, religion, expression, life liberty and security of the person etc. as in the Charter can be overridden using S. 33 Override provisions for repeated 5 year intervals by Federal or Provincial Governments provided that such government vote on the denial of rights every 5 years. During times of crisis, governments typically argue additional centralized power is needed - with our current Charter, such intervention and suspension of individual rights is possible without approval of citizens. "


No property rights...lots of tax on property though...I pay about 2.6K a year...for something I don't own. And besides why would I continue to pay a tax on something I already purchased?

Freedom of expression and security have already shown to have no bearing on the federal government...we obviously do not need a notwithstanding clause to take these rights away.

Over the years, I’ve started to think we don’t need this Charter.
 

I think not

Isn't that interesting. That's what we got yesterday the only difference is we get compensated for it. Dam politicians.
