Book Description
The Charter of Rights has transformed Canadian politics. The Supreme Court has used the Charter to change government policy on an ever-expanding list of controversial issues—abortion, aboriginal rights, gay rights, bilingualism, criminal law enforcement, and prisoner-voting. The Court has made itself the second most powerful institution in Canadian politics after the Federal Cabinet. Morton and Knopff demonstrate that the Court is not so much the cause as the means by which the Charter Revolution has been achieved. Behind the judges is a well orchestrated network of state-funded interest groups that use litigation and the media to achieve what they can't win through democratic elections.

How the Supreme Court of Canada is controlled by lobbyists,
By
Ce commentaire est de: The Charter Revolution and the Court Party (Paperback)
Who is controlling Canadian Charter of Rights litigation and the Supreme Court of CanadaMust reading for any Canadian who wants to understand what is happening in the Supreme Court of Canada. The authors show how three pressure groups account for nearly all the cases (80%) heard by the Supreme Court... the groups? Indians, Homosexuals and most of all Militant Feminists. Detailed outlines of who and how these groups have organized with the help of millions in federal grants to intervene in any and all issues which will increase their grip on Canada. Demonstrating clearly that the groups are not interested in justice, the authors outline in vivid detail how these three groups aim for power, privilege and profit at your expense. The book is a tad dry in spots and takes some effort to follow, but stay with it. it is your life in Canada that is being controlled by the Politically Correct and your rights that are steadily being eroded
