Do we even have a constitution?

We do but referring to it is a bit of an Americanism. When speaking about rights in Canada we generally speak in terms of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms which is a part of the constitution. Like, this ruling would be described in terms of being a charter violation rather than unconstitutional.
