The Charter of Rights and Freedoms was a mistake. It should have never become part of the Constitution. The most dire predictions of what it would mean for Canada, the wholesale transfer of legislative authority from elected politicians to unelected judges, have become almost fully realized. If the Liberals succeed at getting the Supreme Court to curb the use of the notwithstanding clause (Section 33), thereby ushering in a constitutional amendment from the bench, there will be little recourse to restrain the emerging judicial junta.
