Among other things, the flyers objected to homosexuality in public school education and cited biblical passages in support of anti- homosexual messages.

A group of non- aboriginal fishermen fished during this period as a protest and were charged with violating the law. They argued that the law was unconstitutional on the basis that it discriminated against them in violation of s. 15: a communal fishing license granted exclusively to aboriginals does not violate s. 15 of the. Charter because s. 15(2) enables governments to pro-actively combat discrimination by developing programs aimed at helping disadvantaged groups to improve their situation: withler v. canada (attorney general)
