They thrive on arbitrary actions. <br />I sometimes wonder if they even know about the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which they ignore. <br /><br /><br />Citizenship Responsibilities<br /><br />In Canada, rights come with responsibilities. These include:<br /><br />Obeying the law — One of Canada’s founding principles is the rule of law. Individuals and governments are regulated by laws and not by arbitrary actions. No person or group is above the law.<br />Taking responsibility for oneself and one’s family — Getting a job, taking care of one’s family and working hard in keeping with one’s abilities are important Canadian values. Work contributes to personal dignity and self-respect, and to Canada’s prosperity.<br />Serving on a jury — When called to do so, you are legally required to serve. Serving on a jury is a privilege that makes the justice system work as it depends on impartial juries made up of citizens.<br />Voting in elections — The right to vote comes with a responsibility to vote in federal, provincial or territorial and local elections.<br />Helping others in the community — Millions of volunteers freely donate their time to help others without pay—helping people in need, assisting at your child’s school, volunteering at a food bank or other charity, or encouraging newcomers to integrate. Volunteering is an excellent way to gain useful skills and develop friends and contacts.<br />Protecting and enjoying our heritage and environment — Every citizen has a role to play in avoiding waste and pollution while protecting Canada’s natural, cultural and architectural heritage for future generations.<br /><br /><br />John Fefchaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070977933232664642.post-82584177415007559762017-07-08T09:46:48.039-05:002017-07-08T09:46:48.039-05:00Trudeau promised to end subsidies in his mandate. ...Trudeau promised to end subsidies in his mandate.
