Anyone following this ?

So now the libs make up some bull about "core mandates" etc, to make themselves not look like the anti charter fools they are. But those of us in the thick of it know the truth. They are trying to force their values on us as a society.

The government doesn't want to fund summer jobs for organizations specifically lobbying against abortion.

That's all.

"That's all"? That would be funny if the issue wasn't actually very serious.

Even if this argument is true did it become illegal to be "pro-life" in this country? Or to lobby against it?
Obviously the Liberals would like to think so.

To be fair if it was ol' Harper and his "hidden agenda" putting a check box on an application form saying you have to be "pro-life" to get funding. Would you still be saying, "That's all"?

[Sheepwheat]

There is also a new "points system" in the application. IE. if you cater to certain segments of the population, you get higher points. Points which go towards your chances of getting funding.

Can anyone guess which segments of the population get preferential treatment?

[blackpowder]

I can guess, Sheep. Sorry to hear this.
"Only groups that lobby against abortion"? Whats the whole story?

How does this fit with their catering to Sharia stuff?
Too dumb to have a double standard i think.

“That’s All “ ?
Seems to be much more than that , actually it is . It’s on the table for every business in Canada including your farm .
Anti abortion or not this does not seem right just to apply for funding for simple summer employees?

Not a problem for my farm since its primary focus is not lobbying against the Charter.

You can be anti whatever you want and lobby against whatever you want.

Just don't expect to get a job as a summer student with an organization whose primary focus is to lobby against the charter of rights and freedom and expect to receive government funding for it.

This is not complicated. Wing nut religious organizations FFS.

Once again demonstrating the power of effective marketing of lies and myth to a society of people completely unable to critically think for themselves.

In case some Agriville posters have never read the charter of rights and freedoms he is talking about here is how it starts out....maybe Justin has never read it. 🙈


CONSTITUTION ACT, 1982

PART I

CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS

Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law:

Guarantee of Rights and Freedoms

Marginal note:Rights and freedoms in Canada

1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.

Fundamental Freedoms

Marginal note:Fundamental freedoms

2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:

(a) freedom of conscience and religion;

(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;

(c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and

(d) freedom of association.

No problem, god will provide.

If you don't support the charter, you get no funding. Why is this a problem?

[sumdumguy]

My guess is that there will be many constitutional challenges if rights are infringed upon - and rightly so.

[fjlip]

"a) freedom of conscience and religion;

(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;"

Clearly in the Liberal sights....CBC, here is what we want you to think.
Stalin and Hilter had the same views, my way or DIE they said.

My way or NO Fed funding is a good start.

Maybe OAS, Crop Insurance, Ag Stab in the back, Ag Divest could all be next.

Same with EI, maybe health care funding, oh already it is MANDATORY to pay for abortion on demand.

[tweety]

What about the rights of students getting jobs forced to lobby against the charter of rights and freedoms?

This is how it all started and is the problem.

How do you address the problem if not determining if the primary focus of the organization is contrary to the Charter?

[tweety]

So that's it? The great minds have no answer?

[Sheepwheat]

So that's it? The great minds have no answer?

So you are saying our bible camp lobbies against the charter, so should not get funding?
