Constitutional Issues

Our constitution assumes equality of all (including public officials) under law, but court values, of judicial economy and deference to strata managers, deprive strata property owners of equal protection under governing enactments.

How excluding our whole community from Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms  is democratic is beyond me; but that’s the way it is in the homes and land of owners of residential strata property in BC. https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/pch/documents/services/download-order-charter-bill/canadian-charter-rights-freedoms-eng.pdf 

But for excluding this community from equal protection under the law, strata life would more just and secure and far less dysfunctional.

It would be much less vulnerable to exploitation by the multi-billion dollar industry that profits from provoking sales, churning up legal disputes, collecting premiums and deductibles with little, if any, risk, building codes that make leaks catastrophic and leave property unrepaired and derelict for the benefit of developers and constractors. 

The current politics are making a mockery of the law and creating an unproductive, destructive, unsustainable society. 

Pay attention. I am speaking from experience.

O Canada.
