I laughed when I read your comment that section 7 is the "one section of the charter the progressive left detests."

So many decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada prove this wrong.  Just two examples that made right-wingers break out in spots are:

1.  Singh v. Minister of Employment and Immigration, 1985 - the one that held that "everyone" includes every human being who is physically present in Canada and therefore covered by Canadian law; and

2. Carter v. Canada, 2015 - the one that said those suffering intolerable pain had a right to physician-assisted dying.
