Criminal lawyer Saaron Gebresellassi stated “In all of my years of practicing law, I have never seen a case that has the potential to cause more damage to rights and freedoms in Canada, than the case of His Majesty the King vs McDonald.”

The potential impacts to all Canadians, had this case been lost, are truly sobering. At stake were the very rights and freedoms we’ve all believed were there to protect us from tyrannical government over-reach: our freedom of conscience and religion, our freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, our freedom of peaceful assembly and our freedom of association.

Had the crown won their case, police would be free to arbitrarily arrest anyone violating a bylaw, in the name of public safety and with no regard for their rights.

Make no mistake, Cullen McDonald’s win is a win for all of Canada! We now have a precedent validating the rightful position of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms within the context of the pandemic and associated public health measures. All Canadians should be celebrating this victory!
