The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Canadian.
With one rhetorical question, Alex Neve (Amnesty International) and Jason Gratl (BC Civil Liberties Association) undermine their own mission with devastating efficiency:
Is it so outlandish to assert that the same Charter that applies when the military responds to Canadian weather emergencies, such as floods and ice storms, is still relevant when soldiers are deployed outside the country, involved in activity that will, much more readily, lead to imprisonment and loss of life?
Uh... yes? Like, obviously yes? Just for starters, what would A.I. have the peacekeepers it's demanding we send to Darfur do with the baddies they capture? Send them to Kingston Pen?
