Over 80 Lawyers Call for an End to COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates
"A group of lawyers has issued a declaration calling for an end to COVID-19vaccine mandates and passports, measures they say have strategically infringed on Canadians Charter-protected rights and freedoms."
"They erode civil liberties strategically, attempting to not run afoul of the law or to trigger protections in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms such as liberty and security of the person, the freedoms of association, assembly, expression, conscience, religion, and mobility rights, the declaration reads."
"In their declaration, the lawyers identified several areas of concern, one being that in response to the pandemic, provincial legislatures passed statutes that delegate broad discretionary powers to unelected public health officials, who in turn created draconian legal restrictions by fiat, without public scrutiny or open debate.
"Medical regulators have become dictatorial, they write."
"In our system of law, no principle is more important than the right to control your own body and to make your own medical and health decisions, it says."
"Vaccine passports create the infrastructure for a global digital surveillance system. Institutions that last year were prohibited from collecting individual medical history now demand it as a condition of employment or admission."
"Canadians should have control of their own lives and have the right to make their own decisions about their health, medical treatments, personal information, travels, and associations, they write."
"Canada is supposed to be a free country governed by the rule of law. Restore it now or risk losing it for good."
