I provided you with common examples of well-known private associations that violate the Charter's equality provisions. There are many other examples. Why you would call that reality "absurd" is lost on me.

Private associations may indeed offer services to the public, but that doesn't mean that membership in those associations are governed by Charter's equality provisions. For example, the Salvation Army is a Christian organization, and all it's members are Christians. The Salvation Army discriminates in who it accepts into its association, in direct 'conflict' with the Charter's right to equality. However it's not a violation of the Charter because the Charter's right to equality does not override the right of people of like mind to associate freely. Nor does society object when they do so, especially when the association provides beneficial services such as charity, education and public works.
