It’s hard to believe that of all the supposed threats to the United States Constitution—super Pacs, activist judges, termites at the National Archives—the greatest menace to our founding document would be Canadians. And yet, a study soon to be published in the NYU Law Review and previewed in the New York Times, reveals the ugly truth: “The U.S. Constitution appears to be losing its appeal as a model for constitutional drafters elsewhere.” What has taken its place as the world’s next top model? The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
D’oh! Canada?!
