Legal Rights:
Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.
Equal Rights:
Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
The Rule Of Law:
Responsible government and federalism are two cornerstones of our system of government. There is a third, without which neither of the first two would be safe: the rule of law.
What does the rule of law mean:
It means that everyone is subject to the law; that no one, no matter how important or powerful, is above the law not the government; not the Prime Minister, or any other Minister; not the Queen or the Governor General or any Lieutenant-Governor; not the most powerful bureaucrat; not the armed forces; not Parliament itself, or any provincial legislature. None of these has any powers except those given to it by law: by the Constitution Act, 1867, or its amendments; by a law passed by Parliament or a provincial legislature; or by the common law of England, which we inherited, and which, though enormously modified by our own Parliament or provincial legislatures, remains the basis of our constitutional law and our criminal law, and the civil law (property and civil rights) of the whole country except Quebec (which has its own civil code).
If anyone were above the law, none of our liberties would be safe.
What keeps the various authorities from getting above the law, doing things the law forbids, exercising powers the law has not given them?
The courts. If they try anything of the sort, they will be brought up short by the courts.

This document has everything you as a Canadian citizen, will need to know and understand about the fabric of our society.
So lets get down to it and define our Rights and our Liberty's as Canadians.
The 3 following segments are what you will need to focus on and then gradually work your way upwards through the Rule of Law, and then the Equal Rights, and then finally the Legal Rights;
1] If anyone were above the law, none of our liberties would be safe.
2] What keeps the various authorities from getting above the law, doing things the
law forbids, exercising powers the law has not given them?
3] The courts. If they try anything of the sort, they will be brought up short by the
courts.
When you are finished, record all of the infractions that are currently being commited most willfully by our 'Governments' and our 'Current Policing'
I think that you will be shocked to see where McGuinty has been leading us, our province and our country by his ignorance and deceptions over the past 6 months.
