Once again, I feel compelled to question the actions of our provincial government. I have witnessed a near-complete disregard for charter rights throughout this pandemic. I am unclear what the legal foundation is for the implementation of Vaccination Cards. If anyone that reads is aware, may I impose on you to provide me with the various statutes and laws generally that the government has relied on to implement this program?

I must say, the choice of venues and nature of prohibitions seem designed to skirt charter issues to a degree. Whatever the case, this clearly assaults the spirit of Section 7.
One recognizes the need to manage difficult situations – I have yet to see any data nearly compelling enough for a de facto forced vaccination program. Domain over mind and body (the right to refuse medical treatment) is the most sacred element of human rights, it is odd to me to see so many assaults on this element of human rights by governments that call themself “progressive”; no one is seeking consent by this action, they are seeking to force compliance.
I will grant the government a degree of sympathy insomuch that the federal government has been slow to implement its proper and legal jurisdiction. If anyone who reads this has a complete understanding of the federal support for these sorts of initiatives, may I impose on you to inform me what legal direction and support the federal government has provided the provinces – timelines would be helpful? What I am eager to do is to prevent the degradation of human rights in Canada, rather than carrying any political agenda – your help would be most appreciated.

The concern for me is the way these things have been done. Had the Emergency Measures Act been activated at the outset of the pandemic, it would be a matter of public record as to why and its purposes, it would have been subordinated to the Charter and subject oversight by parliament, thus providing a legal umbrella to administer the law under; specifically the Emergency Measures Act. and then the law generally. In this way, social distancing and other measures, such as restricting the right to assembly would have been exercised under the EM act - rather than arbitrarily as they were in many cases. This process would have provided a clear statutory point of delineation - "date x" civil rights were intruded on and on "date b" it is now over. Further, and as concerning, in allowing the provinces to do this absent federal authority clearly given, federal paramountcy is weakened. It is, for this reason, I am seeking input from various parties for information on the federal government’s direction on these issues.
