Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
My suggestion is that the moderators of this forum and administrators need to be aware of the provisions of this document and I have pasted a little IA to help them out.
3. Social Media Platforms and the Charter:
- Social media platforms are seen as a means of communication and expression, subject to the same protections and limitations as other forms of media.
- While platforms have their own terms of service and moderation policies, they must respect the Charter rights of their users.
- Banning a user or censoring their content for reasons that are not justified under section 1 of the Charter could potentially raise concerns about freedom of expression.
In essence, the Charter protects freedom of expression on social media, but this freedom is not unlimited. It can be limited by law for justifiable reasons, such as preventing hate speech or protecting individuals from harm, but any limitations must be reasonable and demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.

The Canadian charter of rights are nothing more than privileges that can be taken away at will by government.
The covid-19 plandemic showcased how Canada has become an authoritarian state.

No, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms generally does not apply to private online forums or private actions. The Charter primarily applies to government actions, not private individuals or organizations.
As long as you follow the rules of this board that you agreed to, you will be fine.

Another classic example is the OIC banning thousands of hunting firearms simply because they look scary. The singular phrase that negates the entire charter is "....except where prescribed by law" used when the OIC was implemented with the stroke of the Governor General's pen demanded by the virtue-signaling PM.

The point is its not fine to ban my freedom of expression on two sections here off topic and politicts. A perfect example was my posting back to a thread on Firearms yesterday and that same thread then being transfered to Off Topic, where I could no longer reply and looks like I am ghosting forum members by not replying to them.
I have just e mailed your legal counsel Mr Tim Danson to review my complaint and request you cease and desist this censorship.
I have not engaged in any hate speech, defamation or even breached any forum rules, my comments on the Firearms post were not deleted by the moderator but he then transferred the thread to a section I can not exchange or express my views.

Nothing should be done by OIC with respect to these bans, any changes to the firearms laws should be going through Parliament. With that being said the Liberals only missed a majority by three seats or so, I suppose they could jam anything through if they had won a majority in that case.
Think how dull this forum would become if we could not exchange ideas like we are doing now and make positive change. I was another member who wrote the Goverment as a Liberal supporter, in support of keeping my semi auto rifle.

It might not achieve the results I want after all he is your counsel, but maybe he will be able to counsel you on the limits you can go. The demise of the forum should have already taught this lesson but apparently not.

Obviously the censorship here has nearly killed this forum
Myself along with others I'm sure would like to see you in the off topic sections.
OOD forum please give Mr. Gilroy a fair shake and access to off topic section.
