CANADIAN IDENTITY TRUTH #5 -
CANADIAN CITIZENS' are guaranteed equality and fairness by THE CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is not just a list of rights and freedoms. Our Charter begins by warning us that each of our rights and freedoms will be subject to limitations. But not to worry! These limits will be reasonable. How Canadian!
So to introduce the Charter, one of our first critical thinking lessons is a discussion about the meaning of "reasonable." If something is fair or reasonable for me, is it fair for everyone? In 1986, the Supreme Court of Canada in 1986 determined a series of questions to test what is reasonable, called the Oakes Test. We will use a simplified test, involving three basic questions that can be easily understood, called the Acorn Test.
