Hello,

I changed the wording to "not guaranteed" based on this section from the official government webpage discussing Section 1 of the charter,

“Most modern constitutions recognize that rights are not absolute and can be limited if this is necessary to achieve an important objective and if the limit is appropriately tailored, or proportionate.” (Canada (Attorney General) v. JTI-Macdonald Corp., [2007] 2 S.C.R. 610, at paragraph 36).

Could you please explain to me how my edit was incorrect? Swimxy (talk) 16:57, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

@Swimxy I would encourage you to discuss this first on the article's talk page to see if there is a consensus for a change. But a "guarantee" can mean a limited guarantee, an absolute guarantee, or something else. The plain language of s. 1 says the Charter is guaranteed (which is what the sentence said that you tried to change). It may be appropriate afterwards to say that it has been interpreted as a limited guarantee, etc., but this would require extensive discussion first. Singularity42 (talk) 17:04, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
