I’m extremely proud to be a Canadian citizen. I love the country that became my home at a very young age, where I grew up, that educated me and provided opportunity, and now, the country that isn’t afraid protect the rights of the accused.
From the BBC:
Canada’s Supreme Court has struck down a controversial system that allowed the government to detain and deport foreign-born terror suspects.The nine judges ruled that the security certificate system - in place since 1978 - violated Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The system allowed a suspect to be held indefinitely or deported on the basis of evidence presented in secret.
The case was brought by three men who deny accusations of links to al-Qaeda.
Canada, where you get freedom and security, even from the government and those that abuse authority. Americans, apply within.
