<strong>Kangaroo</strong> <strong>Courts</strong>?<br />

11<br />

Governments, however, continue to pretend that there is no conflict between Canadians’<br />

traditional, and constitutionally enshrined, freedoms and the new “human rights” created<br />

by legislation. But the large number of court cases dealing with precisely this conflict<br />

shows that governments are wrong. A conflict exists, and a choice must be made.<br />

Further, Canada’s federal and provincial governments also have a choice as to whether to<br />

retain or remove the sections of human rights codes which restrict freedom of speech.<br />

Nothing stops a government from removing these sections from the human rights code<br />

while retaining legislative provisions that limit discrimination in employment,<br />

accommodation and services.<br />

The cases which follow in <strong>Kangaroo</strong> <strong>Courts</strong>? expose the conflict between the new human<br />

rights and Canadians’ traditional freedoms.
