I always had a little hope that judges would construe our rights expansively and the limitations narrowly. I have been extremely disappointed. But I should not be surprised. I attended law school a while ago and my classmates and friends include a current senior minister in Trudeau’s cabinet and several judges. To most of them following the party line is most important. There was always an excuse to not expand peoples’ freedoms. Even back in our law school days I stood out as the ‘radical’ pushing for liberty.
