But Klein won't do it because he's more of a fan of political
correctness.

The EXACT SAME political correctness, mind you, that cost thousands of
lives in the tainted blood scandal.  How many dead this time, Supreme
Court?  Are you responsible to the result?

Naturally.  Or Unnaturally, as the case may be.  The family has been
under attack since the 60s.  Now, just as its making a comeback, the
government launched a tactical nuke at it.

> 2.) Eventual recognition of Paedophilia

As I covered in the Grateway.

Ouch, good point.  Never thought of that one.

Possibly.  Churches still can discriminate against marital status and
gender, so they (and probably King's College) can still discriminate
against homosexuality...for now.

> 5.) Unselected judges should not make law

This is the one that really burns me.  The SC has made themselves the
new ruler over Canada, and are 100% unaccountable.

I like that one.
