Would the charming Erin O'Toole fulfill Harper's dream, given the chance? By altering or even removing our precious Charter of Rights and Freedoms from the Constitution? Please read on.
The House of Commons, the Senate, and two thirds of the provinces representing over 50 percent of Canadians must approve any changes to the Charter or any part of the constitution. By the time Harper won a majority, most provinces had Lib Govs so no chance for him to alter it.
Now though, most provinces are Conservative, and with a majority Gov, O'Toole would have Harper's dream within reach. How the Senate would vote is a question. But is the risk of losing our Charter rights by voting Conservative worth it? Ever?
Don't take this lightly please. Harper fought endlessly with the Supreme Court when judges (many of whom he chose) ruled repeatedly against laws he tried to enforce that violated the Charter. His utter disdain for the Charter showed in disgraceful public attack on Chief Justice.
Mr O'Toole was happy to do Harper's bidding in Government. And Mr. Harper has not gone away. This thread will be called 'fear mongering'. But the risk is real. Don't let it happen, please.
