How is it that you are one of the few Canadians who can and does research to explain to the general public all these inconsistencies in political rhetoric? Thank you for doing so.

I really don't see what Catholic Church doctrine and proclamations have to do with our legal or constitutional systems in Canada.

Canada has not been a Catholic country since the British conquest at the end of the eighteenth century. Indeed, in the early days, it was an anti-Catholic country (or group of colonies). Reading through royal proclamations and landmark decisions of the Canadian Supreme Court on aboriginal rights and land title (indigenous was not yet the fashionable term), as I had to do in law school, I do not remember any trace of religious doctrine.

This too is invented to serve today's purposes, i.e. to shame and blame various groups in our society.
