Canadian Constitution: Treaty Canada and Geneva Convention

canadian constitution: This allows folks like Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale to get away with remarkable statements like his recent pronouncement that Torture is contrary to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, it's contrary to the Canadian Constitution, it's a violation of the Criminal Code, it's inconsistent with virtually every international treaty Canada has ever signed, including the Geneva Convention s and most importantly, Canadians find it abhorrent and will never condone it, according to Rabble. Period. While a case can be made that this dissonance is apparent on many issues -- Indigenous rights, climate change, women's rights, poverty, racism, refugees and immigrants, electoral reform -- too many Canadians overlook the broken promises and embrace Trudeau simply because he is not Stephen Harper and, more recently, Donald Trump. Goodale's remarks followed Trump's ABC News interview in which the U.S. president said torture absolutely works and that his country's state security agencies need to fight fire with fire. Indeed, for decades, Canada's state security agencies have behaved exactly as if Donald Trump were their boss, playing fast and loose with the binding prohibitions against involvement in torture. While Canadians may indeed find torture abhorrent, that fact alone does not prevent the Canadian government from being up to its neck in torture complicity. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
