Report details activist judges' attempt to remodel Canadian values BY LifeSiteNews.com OTTAWA, February 26, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Since the Charter of Rights came into effect in 1982, the Supreme Court of Canada has, case by case, gradually widened its jurisdiction so that it has now reached the apex of power in Canada.  In assuming this power, the Court has effectively become a second level legislature, reducing the elected Parliament to a secondary role in the political process.  With these assumed powers, the Supreme Court of Canada is pushing ahead to interpret the Charter so as to rearrange Canadian laws to fit the ideological and philosophical views of its judges.  REAL Women of Canada has completed an analysis of this serious problem with recommendations to resolve it.  “Clearly, we must take action now to begin to curb the power of the Supreme Court of Canada before it causes even more damage to the social and cultural values of our society,” REAL Women’s Gwen Landolt told LifeSite.  Topics discussed in the booklet include:  - How did these Judges Achieve this Absolute Power?  - Astonishing Views of Some Judges   - Judges are Merely Well-connected Lawyers   - Judges as Politicians   - Suggestions for Curbing the Power of this Court   See the full document in today’s LifeSite Special Report at:  http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2003_docs/curbingthepower.pdf (requires Adobe Acrobat) http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/curbing-the-power-of-the-supreme-court-of-canada/
