To be kind, it seems that both orgs rely on eventually managing to find a judge willing to accept their “creative” interpretations of the Charter.<br /><br />Most of their interpretations seem to be drawn from US conservative takes on the American Constitution (especially Scalia’s rulings. Basically a really bad attempt to read the Charter as absolutes, with there being a clear hierarchy of priority applied. It’s a really stupid hot take since the Canadian Charter and US rights law are based on dramatically different foundations. <br /><br />But … I’m sure that Ezra and his fellow travellers in the grift-o-verse will happily take $ from the rubes and pocket them. This being ultimately little more than a money laundering scheme at this point. <br /><br />(Note: The JCCF is a grift, but in a slightly different track - it’s based on religious zealotry, and as such while it won’t go anywhere in the long run, I don’t think it exists just to funnel money into the pockets of Carpay and his allies. They actually believe in what they’re advocating for.MgShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183962674882855323noreply@blogger.com
