I'm honestly not trying to instigate conflict by my responses. rather I would appreciate if you gave a more insightful response, something the reflects your presumed intelligence. Otherwise your intimidation tactics will yield nothing constructive to the furtherance of your own thoughts or those of others on this forum.
How is the basis of the rights put forth by the Charter at issue here? Indirectly sure, but that's a much larger discussion. Perhaps you're attempting to take a response to a direct statement as a summary of my position on a much larger topic?

Look at the context of my initial post. It is a response to a statement that immigrants should be forced to adapt to certain Canadian customs on the one hand, while praising the equality guaranteed to all in Canada on the other. Now certainly there are areas in which customs that are tolerable elsewhere must yield, hence my reference to your rights ending where my rights begin (paraphrasing), but a policy of forced adaptation in cases where the rights of others are not being impinged upon flies in the face of the very freedom and equality that is being praised.
