The activist constitution

Abstract

Neo-conservative critics condemn Charter interpretation as the judicial imposition of naked preferences. Yet judicial interpretation is firmly grounded in the Charter's text and political history and Canada's institutional structure and postwar social model. The critics reserve their praise for judges who do exactly what they decry - impose their own personal, conservative values not found in the Charter.
