constitutionally challenged...

CBC News: Muslims, Arabs denounce Canada's anti-terror bill -- I almost forgot to report about Bill C-36, Canada's anti-terrorism bill. There's been little reporting (that I've seen) on this bill, which could have broad-reaching effects on our basic rights and freedoms.

I think this bill would be much more accepted if the Liberals were willing to add a sunset clause into it, as was done in the US.

If you read the Canadian constitution carefully, you'll see we don't actually have any rights...

...which is of course why there's the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. ;)

so perhaps it's more appropriate to say "charterly challenged" ;)

I was talking about the charter. In three places it says rights can be taken away at any time.

Interesting... I didn't know that proviso was in there...
