Sad to pass a law that violates one's own Charter of Rights and Freedom (along with Canada's). And they argue that "the majority supports this" - the majority pretty much always supports ignoring or oppressing the minority. Apartheid and Nuremberg laws should always be opposed.

From the Montreal Gazette: “The Office québécois de la langue française would also be granted powers of search and seizure without needing a warrant to inspect businesses and ensure they are complying with the law.” This seems to also apply to medical practices.

Is this constitutional in Canada? Won’t this be struck down by the federal courts and/or legislature?
