The Honorable Brian A. Peckford, a former premier of the province of Newfoundland and the last living architect of the Canadian Charter, gave a powerful and fact-laden speech last weekend in support of the Freedom Convoy protesters while detailing the egregious violations of the rights of citizens by government in the name of COVID-19.
“Every Canadian has equal rights and has equal rights before the law,” Peckford stated at a rally in Victoria, British Columbia in support of the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa.
He added: “Section 2 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, what does it say? It says you have freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, freedom of religion… freedom of the press,” he added.
“You have freedom to associate! You have freedom to assemble!” he told the roaring crowd, asserting that the actions of the protesters are explicitly protected under the law.
Peckford explained that per Section 6 of the Charter, Canadians have the right to move unimpeded anywhere in Canada, and even the right to “pursue a livelihood” in any province or jurisdiction in Canada. Peckford said this right was transgressed last summer when the federal government announced a ban on air, sea, and rail travel for the unvaccinated.
Detailing how under Section 7 Canadians are protected from any attempt to mandate or coerce vaccination, Peckford stated, “You also have the right to security of the person; nobody is allowed to touch you unless you agree!”
“You must remain steadfast that as an individual you come first, the groups come second…,” he urged the crowd.
