It is a sad comment on Canadian education that a graduate of Dalhousie Law School can, with apparent sincerity, begin an essay as follows:

Canadians have a right to Freedom of Expression. We have that right because the Trudeau Government negotiated and passed the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

How sad that a practising Canadian lawyer in 2007 thinks his liberties are the gift of Trudeaupian legislators. One can only marvel at the near Maoist elimination of societal memory required to effect such a belief.
