Review commentary

 * Notified: WikiProject Canada. Original FA nominator, User:CanadianCaesar, not notified as inactive for over 12 months.

I'll keep this brief. I am nominating this featured article for review because of problems with FA criterion 1c. Large chunks of the article, especially in "Interpretation and enforcement" are uncited, which raises questions whether these substantial portions of the article are original research. Aside from the large tracts of unsourced prose, particular statements stand out as being unsourced but analytical, eg "Hence, the perceived Americanization of Canadian politics is seen as coming at the expense of values more important for Canadians. The union movement has been disappointed in the reluctance of the courts to use the Charter to support various forms of union activity, such as the "right to strike".

This article was promoted in 2006 over a fair bit of opposition. I think it needs substantial work to source the article to continue to meet FA standards. Mkativerata (talk) 19:11, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know if I can save its featured status, but I've tried to improve the citation.  Thankfully I have access to a library with some of the books used. LastOthello (talk) 19:14, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment: File:Canadian Coat of Arms Shield.svg - source link is dead. Attribution and license are incorrect; this is a derivative of a work created in 1921 (per the summary page); Mercifull and/or Zscout370 were presumably not alive at the time; PD-user license is inappropriate.
