Whatever! Your better educated then me !
But you get my point that our constitution is fresher and newer then the U.S one? Not just because of the charter of rights but because it was written in 1867 instead of the late 18th century.Old doctrines didnt stick around and get imprinted in peoples brains so they wouldnt amend it.
When Trudeau was making the Charter of rights he talked about gay rights and the charter was sopposed to help them be given equality. Just a few years earlier you could have been tossed in jail for being a homosexual.
The Charter didnt talk about orientation specifically but helped give rights to people who were originaly denied it.
