Canadians have a problem. The problem is not that the government is stomping all over their rights, the problem is that they do not have any. Canada does not truly have a constitution in the American sense; rather, the guarantor of rights and freedoms is a mutable document that is oft ignored by politicos and magistrates alike. When a Canadian declares that their rights are being violated, they do not mean their rights under the law — all the laws of Canada were cut down long ago — rather, they mean their rights as one of God’s children. Unfortunately, the doe-eyed innocence of Canadians has been the downfall of many court cases in the era of the virus.
