This area of Canadian law is almost entirely dependent on concepts of "reasonability" so there is nothing unusual here. Our equivalent of the Bill of Rights is bookended by a section of "reasonable limits" (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_1_of_the_Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_1_of_the_Canadian_Char...) and a "notwithstanding clause" that allows for a "temporary override" of several other sections (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_33_of_the_Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_33_of_the_Canadian_Cha...). It's as vague and unpredictable as ever.
