    I still have trouble accepting either of these beliefs are commonplace among Canadians. My late-20th century education only briefly touched on the Charter but it seems common sense that stuff from US TV wouldn’t apply to us.

    The odd times I’ve had questions about various areas of law or governance, I always have to spend time looking them up. (Seems to me people in the US should still research these things though. It’s not like TV/movies are accurate, complete, and up-to-date.)

      I guess I don’t know if I’d say my experience is that it’s “commonplace”, but that it’s “surprisingly common”.

      Common sense is misnamed, though—it’s among the rarest qualities for anyone to have, alas.
