Sometimes I Love the CBC Even More Than Usual

From the Dispatches podcast of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Kim Brunhuber opens his report on urban gardening from Uganda:

As I stare for the first time into the chimpanzee's eyes, I brace myself for the experience described so poetically in the brochure: the rapture of communing with man's closest living relative. But instead, all I can think is that the cartoonists were right after all: America's 43rd president really does look like a chimpanzee.

Yup! Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms#1.), Section 2, "Fundamental Freedoms":

2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
a) freedom of conscience and religion;
b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and
d) freedom of association.
