“Simple Definition of
disease
: an illness that
affects a person, animal, or plant : a condition that prevents the body or mind
from working normally
: a problem that a
person, group, organization, or society has and cannot stop”
I believe Canada
is suffering from The Charter Disease. This disease has prevented the country
from “working normally.” I believe Canada is now suffering from the
adverse effects of this Charter, and that it has created symptoms that could be
called “mind disease.” This, I believe, has resulted in abnormal decisions
coming from the highest court in the land. These decisions have also affected
the minds of the politicians, most of the media and others in the country, who
now accept whatever is described as a “right” under the Charter. I believe this
has been done by perverting the law and the language.
“More than a year
ago, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Carter vs. Canada that, ‘The prohibition
on physician-assisted dying infringes the right to life, liberty and security
of the person in a manner that is not in accordance with the principles of fundamental
justice.’” Aaron Wherry, CBC News, April 22, 2016.
On reading the quote above, attributed to the Supreme Court
of Canada, one has to ask, is this an example of the Charter disease preventing
the “mind from working normally"? Resulting in a perversion of law and
language? Have our “rulers” gone mad?
If the disease of madness has taken root in Canada, and is
infecting the country, what can be done to cure it? Could a state of emergency
be declared? Who can save the country from this Charter disease, if power is
the hands of the unelected, and
the elected are
contaminated by the unelected? What
is the answer to this conundrum? Do the people of the country docilely accept
the fact that “Judicial Approved Murder Comes To Canada”?
Are those suffering from this illness going to be allowed to
continue to spread the Charter disease? What other contaminated and other
insane rulings could be perpetrated on the populace if this Charter disease
continues its ascendance?
“In fact the Charter
was a ruse. [Pierre]
Trudeau wanted to consolidate power in the Supreme Court of Canada and
weaken Parliament.” [1] In so doing he altered the legal structure of
the country from a constitutional monarchy to an oligarchy in one fell swoop.”
Joe C.W. Armstrong, in his book “Farewell the Peaceful Kingdom” page 75.
,
This Charter disease was imposed without an individual vote
of the people. Surely if people are to live by a set of rules they should have
the chance to vote on these rules? Instead we have a situation where this
Charter is interpreted by appointed, non-elected judges, or to put it bluntly,
ex-lawyers. These ex-lawyers, now judges, are appointed by the Prime Minister
of whatever political party is in power. Any thinking person has to ask, “How
can non-elected judges rule the people from a document that was not given
acceptance by the people?” What will it take before the people are pushed
to their limits? Even a worm will turn eventually. What will be the catalyst
that turns disgust into action? Every action has a reaction as the saying goes.
What will the reaction be when a civilized society finally realizes democracy
no longer exists?
“The dramatic change
imposed on the country should have incited members of the law profession to
take up arms. Instead without a whimper the Supreme Court of Canada was
handed the ultimate power of determining the most fundamental rights of the
country as the Charter outlined them. The loss of freedoms to Canadian society
was beyond measure, equivalent only to military conquest.” [3]
Joe C.W. Armstrong in his book “Farewell the Peaceful Kingdom” page 206.
In closing, I believe the only antidote left to save this
country from the latest diabolical decision by the Supreme Court of Canada is
the use of the Notwithstanding Clause.
