STANFORD USES LINEARLY DEPENDENT EIGENVECTORS IN THEIR BASISBUT THATS NO BASIS AT ALL ! <| sep |> Well , it ' s not really that simple . Section 1 allows reasonable limits . So the question would be if limiting expats right to vote would be reasonable . There is currently a csc . c acasedossierinfosumsomeng . aspx ? cas 36645 working through the SCC on just that question . Edit For example , the Charter does not mention anything about a minimum age , but we limit the right to vote to citizens who are 18 and older . Strictly speaking this violates Section 3 . This was litigated in 2004 in Fitzgerald v . Alberta the judge found that age limit did violate Section 3 , but was justifiable under Section 1 , the Court of Appeal of Alberta agreed with the judge , and it was never heard by the SCC .
