Yes and it's sad that Canadians fall for his BS.

Max attends a gathering that is politically inconvenient for the government - arrested
Trudeau attends a vigil in London that is politically attractive for “progressives” and he’s worshipped (I am not detracting from that terrible violence)
gatherings are allowed when they fit an agenda that some find appropriate....like tearing down Ryerson’s statue. Go tear down a statue of a “progressive” leader and see what happens.
Also, many people have a 24/7 vigil with an open fire around a Sir John A statue with no problem, 2 peaceful senior veterans in suit jackets and GASP a Canadian flag are threatened with arrest by Kingstons' finest within 5 minutes . I'm surprised the Covid Broadcast Corporation even aired it.
Double standards?????
Convince me otherwise.

I find it ironic those who chastise Bernier, who is actually exercising Section 2 of the Charter, apparently, something you are not aware of... for your verbal bashing. Then again, these chastisers are the same people who continue to think the Conservatives are best for gun rights.
Maybe I have to remind you the Provincial EMA's that are enacted, do not supersede the Federal Charter, Section 2, therefore any arrest or ticket you receive will be thrown out in court - because it carries XERO authority. The ticketing and arrests, are purely power tactics of tyrannical government actions...and yet you support it???
Your vote loyalty is counter to owning firearms, and also makes you against firearms ownership for legal law abiding owners. It is this kind of mentality, that just astounds me each time I see it.
Blind loyalty verse actual policy and history. Astounding.

Whether the Charter overrules provincial orders during a pandemic has yet to be proven in a court of law. Those tickets remain in force until proven otherwise. There are also many limitations on "free speech" under Canadian law. Exhorting people to violate public health orders may well be proven to be among them.
More relevant to this thread is that Bernier was not ticketed for anything he said but what he did which was attending a rally contrary to Manitoba public health orders. While Section 2 has provisions for "peaceful assembly" and "freedom of association" whether violating a public health order falls into that category is something for the courts to decide. So far Charter decisions that have made it to the courts have not fared well.
Bad laws were made to be challenged.
The people who created them will ultimately pay a price for doing so.
