The Liberals’ usual approach to abortion is to use it as a cudgel against any and all Conservatives they feel are in line for a smearing. In Trudeau’s case, the means of reviving the abortion debate seemed innocuous enough. So the baseline was drawn, and it must have seemed natural to extend it to cover other areas of activity, including summer jobs. The Andersons applied to Canada Summer Jobs, hoping to hire a student interested in water conservation. In essence, Ottawa is using a made-up Charter value to deny an actual Charter right.
