December 1, 2020: COVID-19, lockdown, and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
“The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society”
This line creates the bedrock to our democracy. To our lives as Canadians. And so many people do not understand it. On this episode of Let’s Talk About, in light of renewed debates on religious freedoms and the legality of lockdown orders, Jason opens the Charter himself to explain what rights are being debated, preserved, and ultimately curtailed.
