So We Must Be Stuck On Stupid
The purpose of this Act is to extend the laws in Canada to give effect, within the purview of matters coming within the legislative authority of Parliament, to the principle that all individuals should have an opportunity equal with other individuals to make for themselves the lives that they are able and wish to have and to have their needs accommodated, consistent with their duties and obligations as members of society, without being hindered in or prevented from doing so by discriminatory practices based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, disability or conviction for an offence for which a pardon has been granted.
This Caledonia Quagmire is indeed confusing. Our Charter of Rights tells me that all men are equal and should be treated as such. But our Minister in charge of Aboriginals says they are different and they are to be treated special.
It must be the same Catch 22 thingie that applies when a white man kills someone and gets sentenced to life but gets out of prison in six or seven years. Those guys writing our laws really have a vivid imagination, eh.
