Charter rights
These folks think they can strip our rights watch this lead to permanent ish

I ain’t telling these pig cops anything
The thing is...the Charter has a notwithstanding clause the can empower these politicians to do things they argue is for "public health" for example.

Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is part of the Constitution of Canada. It is commonly known as the notwithstanding clause (or la clause dérogatoire in French), or as the override power, and it allows Parliament or provincial legislatures to temporarily override certain portions of the Charter.

Section 1. 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.
