because those Quebecois take after the crazy French and their Napoleonic
code and the National Assembly themselves chose to have a Right to Privacy
enshrined in their Charter of Rights. The Courts were merely enforcing what
was set there by the Assembly. I recall that the Supreme Courts dissenting
arguments basically made this point - but there was nothing they could do
about it...
