I believe that is jobs tied to anti-abortion activities. Nobody is having their rights trampled on, they just can't use government funds to trample on other peoples rights.
Under the new rules [for Canada Summer Jobs], organizations must check off a box in their online application that contains an attestation stating that both their core mandate and the job they want to use federal funds to fill, both respect the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as well as other rights and associated case law.
“These include reproductive rights, and the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of sex, religion, race, national or ethnic origin, colour, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression,” reads the attestation on the application form.
Because of that phrase — and its explicit mention of reproductive rights — some faith groups and anti-abortion groups say ticking the box would require them to betray their beliefs and that requiring them to do so is a violation of their constitutional rights to freedom of religion and freedom of expression.The right to "be free from discrimination on the basis of sex, religion, race, national or ethnic origin, colour, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression" is explicitly quoted almost word for word in the Charter Section 15. "Reproductive rights" is not, and is far too vague.
Anyways, the limits remain on Canada Summer Jobs, they just simply removed it from the attestation. So Service Canada officers make the decision to deny funding or not. Lawsuit remains pending. We'll see.
No, Trudeau is not the Liberal Party of Canada. The membership is, and it is the membership that voted for the policy at the party convention.
