The Canadian Charter of Rights is still a very powerful document. The sad reality is that it is a forgotten document that will slowly fade away with time. It is just that in this day and age, especially with the supreme law of the land never mentioned or taught in school nobody will never know about it. Today's society when told about 'how things are' just blindly accept it as fact instead of doing a little research and empowering themselves with the knowledge. I could tell you my story as to what happened to me recently, but needless to say, it took a charter challenge to finally have the charges against me 'stayed'
because the crown's argument for the charges against me could not stand up. I truly feel for what this man is going to have to go through before things are all said and done. It will be an emotional roller-coaster of a ride and a charter challenge for this man to avoid jail. There is a reason it is called a legal society, you just don't have a say in it. If you don't know the laws and more importantly, just accepting the 'interpretation' as it is given without questioning anything is a slippery slope the general population seems to be heading down.
