Absolutely correct response, and I'm wondering what percentage of those other 7762 voters (very bright people, BTW) have a clue (if they're Canadian) that THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PROPERTY RIGHTS!
More here, here, here ...The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is the bill of rights which forms part of the Constitution of Canada adopted in 1982. Its precursor, The Canadian Bill of Rights, 1960, introduced by the Diefenbaker government, applied only to Federal institutions and matters under the legislative authority of the Government of Canada. The Charter developed out of the United Nations human rights and freedoms movement as enunciated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a document first drafted by a Canadian legal scholar, Professor John Peters Humphrey.
The inclusion of a charter of rights in the constitution was a much debated issue. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau very much wanted it but many of the provincial leaders did not. Trudeau thus was forced to include the notwithstanding clause to allow provinces to opt out of certain areas of the charter. Pressure from the left in the country, especially the New Democratic Party, prevented Trudeau from including any rights protecting private property.

So that means on the next questionnaire that you fill out, when it says "Do you own your own home?", your answer is, "Well..."
Does this mean that Canadian liberals are just more intellectually honest than American libs? At least they never granted rights to our neighbors to the north. We've got a 5th Ammendment that they trample.
No way they're more intellectually honest! They're just much more secretive and slimey and carefully "omit" and then refuse to comment. LSM here haven't the cojones to dig out such little tidbits until it's a done deal and then they tell us ... "guess what!"
I am quite horrified at the SCOTUS decision ... the abuses are going to be monumental.

China's Constitution: "Private property obtained legally shall not be violated."
Canada's Constitution: Zilch, zip, zero - absolutely no protection of property rights.
America's 5th Amendment: f****d as of June 23, 2005.
