Crown prosecutors have dropped charges against four Canadians for not complying with the federally mandated, ArriveCan pandemic-era border surveillance program, effectively stifling a constitutional challenge.
Sly-Hooten then launched a constitutional challenge against the ArriveCAN program, “citing his right to liberty, his right to be protected from unreasonable search and seizure, his right to be free from arbitrary arrest and detention, and his right to counsel after arrest and detention – all protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.”
“This outcome is bittersweet for each of our clients. It is positive for each of them personally. On the other hand, they were deeply interested in seeking a determination of the constitutionality of the irrational and unscientific decision forcing unvaccinated Canadians to quarantine,” said lawyer Chris Fleury.
“The federal government has again escaped accountability for Covid policy decisions that breached Canadians’ Charter rights.”
