Well then, if the Canadian Charter doesn't mention the rights of the citizens as coming from God or a Creator, then Canadian rights are something of human creation. And if they are a human creation, then they can be given or witheld by those "in charge".

Sorry, Little Hawk, but you have privileges, not rights.

And THAT'S why Americans get so touchy on the subject of the Bill of Rights. No U.S. govt and no U.N. govt has any say whatsoever in whether I choose to speak freely or own a gun. And people in other countries, who weren't brought up swearing allegiance to the same principles of freedom described in our constitution, just don't seem to understand. The rights in the U.S. constitution are sacrosanct. They've been imbued with a power beyond the ability of government to corrupt. The founding fathers said they're a gift from God. And whether you're religious or not, that's pretty serious. Makes even us heathens get religion when we think about someone monkeying with our rights.
