Three things i learned:

-In 1975, Quebec had passed its own Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.

-Since its enactment in 1982, the Charter has created a social and legal revolution in Canada.

-The Charter has elevated the role of the courts by allowing judges to make sweeping social and legal changes through their interpretation of the Charter’s meaning.

Two things you are confused about or two things that interest you:

1. Before the charter, Canada was still in the hands of the British parliament. 

2. The charter actually applies to everyone even newcomers of the country. 

List one question you have about the Charter of Rights and Freedoms

-Will Charter of Rights and Freedoms holds up for a long time?
