For your post-response reading assignment, please consult the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms:
http://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/Charter/page-1.html
(Note that there are 2 pages)
and the UDHR:
http://www.un.org/cyberschoolbus/humanrights/resources/plain.asp
The instructions on contrasting the two documents are on your handout.
Whereas the UDHR is a set of guidelines put together for the whole world by the UN, the CCRF is a measure of how those freedoms are granted in Canada. The two documents are different, and it is worth taking the time to examine how those difference effect our lives.
