I'm in Canada as well an while I do not like many things in the US when comparing to Canada I am absolutely on their side when it comes to things like freedom of speech and things like Bill of Rights.
Formally due to notwithstanding clause I do not think we have any rights at all as the government basically can override our rights any time it feels like. Sure it does not do it every other Monday but still it's been used something like 15 times and recently our provincial wizards like Legault and Ford just showed what does this Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms mean for them - apparently zilch.
- sudosysgen 6y agoI'm also Canadian but to be fair American Freedom of Speech and the Bill of Rights is also violated whenever the government wants to. People have been put to death or jailed for being certain protests or screening anti-war movies. Not recently at least overtly, but nothing changed so this is still possible.
