CANADA – The Charter has not stopped Canada’s slide toward tyranny
Canada’s federal and provincial politicians should be embarrassed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Charter on April 17. No provincial premier has actually apologized for the repeated and flagrant violations, since March of 2020, of citizens’ freedoms to move, travel, associate, assemble, worship, and exercise control of their own bodies by deciding what medical treatments they will or will not receive. Federally, Parliament’s Liberal-NDP majority imposes unscientific discrimination against the “misogynist, anti-science, racist, extremists” who have not received two Covid shots, in spite of the fact that vaccinated Canadians get the virus and spread the virus.
Our Charter at 40 has not prevented us from moving rapidly towards a tyrannical system in which Canadians are slaves of the state. More and more, Canadians are managed and controlled by politicians and bureaucrats in ways similar to how farm animals are managed and controlled by the farmer. Ultimately, Canada’s survival as a free society that respects the dignity of every human being depends not on the Charter or on how courts interpret it, but on the extent to which Canadians truly cherish our freedoms, and are willing to suffer and sacrifice for them.

The charter was a piece of crap from it’s origins. Sticking a type of bill of rights onto nine hundred years of British jurisprudence was arrogant, ignorant and counter-productive. If one assumes the ‘The Charter of Rights and Freedoms’ was about rights and freedoms, one should be sorely disappointed, as one government after another has ascribed to the government enormous rights and freedoms, and to the citizenry enormous responsibilities, and ever diminishing rights. Our current Prime Minister seems more dangerous than his father, only because he is implementing the business end of the truncheon his father carved, no doubt, from the great anger and insecurity of rich little boys. These people have the force we allow them to have. It diminishes slowly, and then all at once – much like our wealth under their enlightened purview.
