🇨🇦 must recognize #AcademicFreedom as an international #HumanRight protected by the #CanadianCharter.

Read the Shadow Report we submitted w/ the International Justice & Human Rights Clinic (@allard.ubc.ca) to the #UN #HumanRights Committee ahead of Canada’s 7th review under ICCPR.

The CAQ is abusing the notwithstanding clause: Quebec Bar The Quebec Bar Association is concerned about the 'increasingly frequent' invocation of the notwithstanding clause to exempt laws that violate certain fundamental rights from judicial review.

I’ll take #Quebec independence for $200.
“Why would a government suspend fundamental rights that it otherwise proclaims in its own fundamental laws without even allowing them to be reviewed by the courts?” asks the Bar.” #CanadianCharter #cdnpoli

Likewise, in the #CanadianCharter of Rights & Freedoms, the Charter protected right to #FreedomOfThePress is not bestowed only upon full-time professional journalists.

The #CharterRight to #PressFreedom belongs to "everyone".

“Last month it was #teachers. Today it’s #trans #Albertans. But ultimately, an attack on anyone’s rights is an attack on all of our rights."

Courts also FAIL to uphold #CharterRights and freedoms. They do not uphold them all the time.

There's plenty of evidence of police and courts not respecting the rights and freedoms that are ostensibly "guaranteed" in the #CanadianCharter.

I linked to a #TorontoStar article in a previous response.

If #CharterRights can be repressed by Canadian police and courts in one way or another, or if they can otherwise be denied, such as by using the notwithstanding clause. . . the #CanadianCharter does not *guarantee* ANY of the rights and freedoms it pretends to protect.

#CivilRights #CDNpoli #PolCAN

I'm perfectly aware of what's written in the #CanadianCharter of Rights and Freedoms. Just because sections 2, 7 & 15 *ostensibly* protect or guarantee #FreedomOfExpression, inc. #PressFreedom and #PeacefulAssembly, does not mean that Canadian police & courts have not repressed those #CharterRights.

Did I talk about "systemic" repression of #FreeSpeech or #DemocraticRights in Canada?

The #CanadianCharter Of Rights And Freedoms guarantees nothing.

#CivilLiberties aka #CharterRights, inc. #FreedomOfExpression & #PeacefulAssembly, have been repeatedly repressed by Canadian police and courts.

UUA Misuse Of Canada's Blasphemy Law By Falsely Accusing Me Of The Crime Of Blasphemous Libel Certainly Nurtured MY Spirit, But What If Anything Did It Do To Help Heal The UU World? Just asking. . .

As a lifelong #UnitarianUniversalist, is the UUA's misuse of Canada's #BlasphemyLaw in #ChildSexAbuse cover-up #LegalBullying in violation of your deeply held religious values?

It certainly violates my #CanadianCharter right to free expression.
