... she did NOT legislate, she cited precedent, just as a US judge would have done

Citing precedent allows bad rulings to multiply

By citing precedent, I meant she went by how the Canadian Charter is written, just as a US judge is supposed to go by how the US constitution is written. Precedent was a bad choice of words on my part. Hope this clarifies it.

If you think suppressing freedom in the name of safety is ok, then you are in for a surprise a few years down the road. We have already given up a ton of freedom in the name of safety over the last 50 years, I do not wish to give up more.

Having some clown search my car at will at the border is a loss of freedom. If I don't want to be searched I shouldn't have to be, but by the same token I don't have to be allowed entry.
