Ep. 11 Ideology Over Law
Episode description
Canada summer jobs funding is the topic. BCM International v. Canada is a case where the federal government tried to cut summer jobs funding to anti-abortion groups, and then moved on to target a whole host of Christian organizations, including summer camps for underprivileged kids. The Justice Centre is using the Canadian Charter to fight this anti-religious bigotry.
