The Ezra Levant Show: Professor Bruce Pardy discusses his recent Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy paper on equality before the law in Canada. Offering seats on post-secondary campuses or employment on the basis of skin colour is an indication of the extent to which Canadian courts have redefined the equality clause in the Constitution to prioritize “equity” over individual equality. One case in point, notes Prof. Pardy, is Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly known as Ryerson), which has reserved 75% of seat eligibility at its new medical school for “people of particular identities.” How much of a minority do you have to be to qualify? Can Canada’s Constitution even protect equality rights, or is it all liberal mumbo jumbo? Tune in for the full conversation. [Rebel News subscribers: video is available here.
