The differences in how various countries’ high courts have approached unprecedented civil liberties infringements under the guise of a public health emergency highlights that Canada isn’t as progressive as we think.

It started out as two weeks to flatten the curve in provinces and territories all across Canada.

Early 2020 saw various jurisdictions around the world declare states of emergency and sweeping societal lockdowns in an attempt to suppress what was being labelled a novel respiratory pathogen.

Populations within developed democratic nations thought they had a judicial system ripe with checks and balances to protect their civil liberties in case of such an event.

Yet those liberties were willingly forfeited by the masses for the sake of their health, and the health of the “greater good.”

“Each of us has an inherent interest in deciding what happens to our body,” writes lawyer Leslie-Ann Wood in her e-book titled Vaccination Status – A Canadian Story. “This is recognized by the Constitutions of liberal democracies around the world, and in the Canadian context, notably as part of section seven of the Charter.”
