A triple violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights in Keswick Ontario

Somewhere in the backwoods town of Keswick Ontario, a police department and school are making a mockery of our charter of rights. It seems an Asian youth was being bullied by a 'white' youth. The 'white' kid threw a punch and the Asian kid being a black belt, quickly gave his foe a broken nose.

Both were suspended even though one was clearly defending himself. Here's where it gets sick, the Asian kid is being charged with assault by the police and will be expelled from the school. The other kid gets off scott free even though he's the bully and started the fight.


Our Charter of Rights grants us security, freedom from punishment and freedom from discrimination based on race.

I paraphrase our Charter word for word here;


Legal Rights

LIFE, LIBERTY AND SECURITY OF PERSON.

7. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice

TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT.

12. Everyone has the right not to be subjected to any cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.

Equality Rights

EQUALITY BEFORE AND UNDER LAW AND EQUAL PROTECTION AND BENEFIT OF LAW / Affirmative action programs.
15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.


I'm pissed off, really really pissed. I urge you to write a polite email to these authorities who clearly don't get it and don't understand our Constitution and Charter of Rights.

Here come the Tegras

I've been anxiously waiting for Tegra based mobile devices for a while. I'm pretty sure that Microsoft will be the first out of the gate with the new Zune and Winmo 7. Although Apple has a pretty good relationship with nVidia, I think it's unlikely that they can revamp their whole core platform just to support this core.

It's about time we see some cool shit like this;
