Rights and freedoms. These are trumpet terms. These are both the heart and soul of any democratic polity. And it was a Liberal government, under a powerfully intelligent prime minister, who brought this shield and buckler to the defence against any incursion by the state upon the integrity and autonomy of every single Canadian citizen.Here was the titanium element in the Canadian Constitution, the Charter that locked the state in subservience to the citizen. I.e.
The Charter lands ultimate competence, ultimate authority, in the rights of the citizens of Canada. And should a contest ever come, it is the state that must genuflect to the citizen, and never the reverse. That, in the plainest terms, is what the Charter of Rights and Freedoms means.
No wonder Liberals are proud of the Charter. One of theirs brought the concept of individual liberty, free from the incursions of state power, from bullying of majorities, or capitulation to popular sentiment during periods of stress, or the whispers of what “works” in the polls — one of theirs, Trudeau the elder — laid it down in the Constitution: here government can go, and it can go NO further.
Liar
Isn't Rex like 20 years past his best before date? Dude, it's time
Poor Canada. Like Australia, becoming authoritarian backwaters ...
marshal law is what he's aiming for

Come Rex, you don’t like Justin. You were quite neutral during your CBC days. What happened?
DaveGravel2 We need to make them care! If we don't they will just take more.
They certainly don’t. They make up there own rules as they go. They need to go period.
Their need to be right about getting these injections is intense
The 2020's will be known as the decade of ' Living in Fear'
thisneedstostop I once was very proud to call myself canadian, this is slowing being taken away against my will,this great country is no longer great with Trudeau at the helm. Very sad days ahead.
Trudeau loves $$$$$$$$ for Big Pharma now! Freedom and human rights he knows nothing about and breaks the law!
ezralevant He never cares about Canadians
We will stay in a state of emergency until the government has reaped the spoils of the war on Covid. The majority of people in my life I’ve been forced to take this vaccine contrary to their thoughts after being informed
nonsense
They never did!!
I wonder if this is what Germany was like in the 1930s. I will be keeping a close eye on Canada's excess mortality rate.
Why is Rex Murphy still relevant? Lol
Golly gee, why won't the link open? It goes to NP and gives the top ad but nothing below then it no longer goes even that far.
Bye, Felicia!
Every time I see another one of Murphy's propaganda pieces I'm going to post this photo
Gee! You only figured this out how?
He never has cared about our rights and freedoms. He's proven that time and again.
N.P. Most of Canada doesn't care what that fossil Rex says. For years. Recall how many unconstitutional laws Harper imposed that were struck down? You likely published that news..oh, wait..N.P...nevermind. canpoli
Is this the first article against Covid from national post? What took so long.
As opposed to the party of conservation therapy, spying on environmentalists and the such.
