This is a response I received from a law group regarding men's rights and the violations by government of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
I have read your message. I am familiar with the issues and problems you raise, although likely not to the degree that you are. I am also familiar with CAFE and appreciate the work they are doing. As you mentioned, many reasonable people, when they are being honest, will acknowledge that there is a serious problem with male discrimination in Canada. It is embedded in the culture, politics, and the law.
The situation needs to change, but, in my opinion, one general or class-action Charter challenge will not help, and may even hurt. I cannot go into all the details of why I hold that opinion, but I will tell you that section 15 of the Charter ("equality" rights") has become politicized and influenced by identity politics. If the claimant cannot show that they are a "historically disadvantaged group", their claim is very likely to fail, even if they can meet the other aspects of the legal test.
The Justice Centre has never in the past, and is very unlikely in the future, to take a case that deals exclusively with section 15 of the Charter. We work almost exclusively with section 2 and 7 of the Charter, and only occasionally with section 15 when it is incidental to a case where the primary claim is based on sections 2 or 7.
While acknowledging that you raise serious and live issues, as do many others who present cases to the Justice Centre that fall outside the scope of our mandate and areas of expertise, the Justice Centre is unable to assist you.
