The Cantlan Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives all
Canadians the right ta Tree expression, ot just Uiase who

Informed, open discussion and debate,

‘The Waiters Union of Canada supports: Me, Collins’

there appeared to be a rise in
hate activity and because B.C.

erant, it might deter inmi-
peants,” she added,

public, input from lobby
groups and pamphlets with
slogans such as “White
Canadians Wake Up" all

she gathered for cabinet.
