good for the most part I know you are being told to just deny it entirely
not here I don't agree with, how about you?
Freedom of religion (section 2(a)): Section 2(a) provides that everyone has freedom of conscience and religion. This guarantee protects a person’s sincerely held practices or beliefs that have a connection with religion. A law or government action that interferes with the ability to act in accordance with such practices or beliefs may engage section 2(a) if the interference is more than trivial or insubstantial.
Freedom of expression (section 2(b)): Section 2(b) of the Charter provides that everyone has freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, and includes freedom of the press and other media of communication. Section 2(b) has been broadly interpreted as encompassing any activity or communication, aside from violence or threats of violence, which conveys or attempts to convey meaning.
Freedom of peaceful assembly (section 2(c)): Section 2(c) provides that everyone has the freedom of peaceful assembly. This provision is closely related to freedom of expression and protects participation in peaceful demonstrations, protests, meetings, picketing and other assemblies.
Right to liberty (section 7): Section 7 of the Charter protects against the deprivation of an individual’s life, liberty and security of the person unless done in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. These include the principles against arbitrariness, overbreadth and gross disproportionality. An arbitrary law is one that impacts section 7 rights in a way that is not rationally connected to the law’s purpose. An overbroad law is one that impacts section 7 rights in a way that, while generally rational, goes too far by capturing some conduct that bears no relation to the law’s purpose. A grossly disproportionate law is one whose effects on section 7 rights are so severe as to be “completely out of sync” with the law’s purpose. Offences that carry the possibility of imprisonment have the potential to deprive liberty and so must accord with the principles of fundamental justice.
Right against unreasonable search or seizure (section 8): Section 8 of the Charter protects against “unreasonable” searches and seizures. The purpose of section 8 is to protect individuals against unreasonable intrusion into a reasonable expectation of privacy. A search or seizure that intrudes upon a reasonable expectation of privacy will be reasonable if it is authorized by a law, the law itself is reasonable (in the sense of striking an appropriate balance between privacy interests and the state interest being pursued), and it is carried out in a reasonable manner. The assessment of the reasonableness of the law is a flexible one that takes into account the nature and purpose of the legislative scheme, and the nature of the affected privacy interests.
Right not to be denied reasonable bail without just cause (section 11(e)): Section 11(e) of the Charter guarantees that any person charged with an offence has the right not to be denied reasonable bail without just cause. Section 11(e) enshrines a basic entitlement to pre-trial release for accused persons, rooted in the presumption of innocence and the right to liberty. The terms and conditions of such release must be “reasonable” in the circumstances. The right to bail can only be denied with “just cause”.
