I wish the government and the Minister of Justice would address these legal and constitutional arguments but they refuse to. They want Canadians to go blindly into their brave new world but it is not wise for a society to move blindly in any direction.
The law has no compassion. And justice is administered without compassion.
No man is the wiser for his learning it may administer matter to work in or objects to work upon but wit and wisdom are born with a man.
