This thesis examines the relationship between the phenomenon of racial profiling in the post-9/11 context and section 15 of the Canadian Charter. More specifically, this thesis exposes and unravels the paradox whereby Canada's equality guarantee lacks potential to control or protect against racial profiling in the ‘war on terror’, despite the fact that especially acute and complex equality concerns are triggered by the practice. Chapter one explores the way in which the debate surrounding racial profiling has shifted and taken on distinctive features post-9/11. These changes to the debate give rise to heightened equality concerns and are complicated by the racialization of religion. Chapter two asks why Canada’s equality provision has been largely invisible in the criminal justice context through examining the conceptual relationship between the nature of the criminal justice system and the logics of section 15. Finally, chapter three addresses, in turn, the shape of racial profiling jurisprudence and the treatment of race and religion under section 15. I conclude with some comments about whether it is always correct to discuss racial profiling in the language of equality. / Graduate
