Age based discrimination is not prohibited by the charter, believe it or not... if it was, everyone's drinking age would have to be 18. Laws prohibiting legal adults on the basis of their age would be struck down, be it 18 and 19 year olds from drinking, or forced retirement regulations.
Age is, as far as I know, the only thing one can discriminate on. Even discrimination based on how someone dresses is covered by the charter (class/social status).
