Sorry. Never eaten poutine in my life. Cabbage rolls and perogies, yes, but poutine is a Quebec specialty. Tortiere, on the other hand, also a Quebec specialty, especially around Christmas time, is to die for.
Most Canadians,I think, were aware of Human Rights legislation, which was meant to give people some recourse if they were refused rental space solely because they were the wrong colour, but that particular clause, not so much.
Yes, but are Canadian rights “given” by the state, or are they assumed to be natural rights like in the U.S.? If they’re not assumed to be natural, those kinds of fascist laws can return very easily. Not that the leftists in the U.S. wouldn’t try such things...they will. We have “hate” crimes here in the U. S. But as yet it’s still a little more difficult to throw someone in the pokey for speaking their mind than most other places.
