The law societies were created by the government but they are not part of the government, they can decide who they want practicing law and who they do not.

So if they decide they don't want black people practicing law, that's fine with you, huh?

Well the law society is not the one discriminating against anyone, it is the university.

well it sounds to me as if a organization [law societies] which is not part of government is holding a private school hostage, because it will not remove a policy at the school the organization [law societies] does not like, even though it has nothing to do being accredited.

The law societies refuse to except a university that discriminates against homosexuals, they can make that decision.

to me, its the same if this was happening in the u.s.


the u.s. gives the federal reserve a charter, with the federal reserve not being part of government, then the federal reserve starts telling private institutions is America, you cant use the federal reserve note, because you discriminate.

Conveniently, religions place all of their claims after people are dead and can't come back to tell the religious how full of crap they really are.

They also cant come back and tell people God is real either.

24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’

27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

Then they're exercising governmental authority.

They are law society they were granted the power to regulate the practice of law by an act of parliament, if they didn't have total control it would defeat the purpose.

My money is on there being a bunch of very righteous folks finding out quite a shock come Judgement Day, biggest one just might be there is no Judgement day.

it will be interesting to see if the exemption for religious educational schools can be successfully used to over ride Sec 15 of the Charter that grants very broad sexual tolerances to Canadians.

Well they can back the power but why would they? The law society is doing their job as set out by the government. That is like saying the bank regulators are not allowed to actually regulate the banks.

in america that would be illegal.

as i stated before, that would be like the u.s. federal reserve telling private institutions they cannot use the dollar....because they don't like their polices
 
This organization sounds no different from the American Bar Association. If they want to enact a rule against accrediting universities that practice discriminatory policies that it would be illegal for a public university to practice, that's a pretty fair action to take.

The U.S. has them they are called Bar Associations, I think.
 
Colleges and universities in the US are nationally accredited through a standard program. I am not familiar with Canada and its school accreditation. By US standards if the school meets the requirements it should be accredited.
 
I assume Canada has their version of the ABA, therefore there are certain criteria that a school has to meet be to be accredited. If the school meets the criteria then it should be accredited, if the school does not then it should not be accredited.
