For the 2020-2022 situation, I see Section 1 as the problem. But Quebec, for example, has repeatedly invoked Section 33 over the years, including for legislation limiting expression in non-French languages, among other matters. Any country that imposes limits on expression simply doesn't have free expression. That would include Canada and the US, and like you say, probably most every other country. As a Canadian, I can't honestly claim to have constitutionally-protected free expression when I know I could be prosecuted merely for expressing certain ideas.
