Description: Imagine if the Charter applied to people's private lives. Boys who exclude girls from playground games could be taken to court under section 15 of the Charter. A parent's rules against swearing could be subject to a freedom of expression challenge. Children forced to sit at the kid's table at Thanksgiving could accuse their parents of age discrimination. Such widespread application of the Charter would flood the courts and bring society to a standstill. Although it would be nice if people applied these values of tolerance and fairness to their everyday lives, it's probably best that only the government is held to the standards set out in the Charter.
