Empowering Canadians with knowledge and legal solutions to protect their rights!
We are people helping people
Published: August 21, 2020
Updated: January 20, 2024
The following article is for general information only, and should not be construed as legal or medical advice.
As lockdowns are over in Ontario, the following information no longer applies and this page has been archived.
Many Canadians do not know they have rights, let alone how the COVID-19 measures are violating these rights.
Did you know that you have these rights? And how do you feel now, knowing that they have been violated under the guise of COVID-19 measures? And that you are quite possibly violating someone else’s rights?
Most people cannot afford a lawyer. That’s where Stand Up Canada comes in. This document serves to educate you on your rights so that you can stand up for yourself and not harm another. It also is meant to empower you to take action.
Understanding your rights can seem to be daunting. We want to lessen this burden for you.
We are presenting the material to you in the order below, to help you easily grasp this. The importance of understanding how the COVID-19 measures are violating your rights is paramount to getting them back. We have included a PDF DOWNLOAD of this entire document at the end of this page.
Please EMPOWER yourself with this knowledge then STAND UP for yourself and your loved ones.
If you are someone who is violating someone else’s human rights, please STOP saying “I am just following orders”. You will have to live with this the rest of your life.
To make it easy for you to understand, we have broken this subject down into 7 parts:
Part 1: Your Legal Rights 101
Part 2: Background on the Charter You May Find Useful
Part 3: Critical Thinking – Converting Deaths to Percentages
Part 4: Identifying COVID-19 Measures – Understanding how they Violate Your Rights
Part 5: Identifying the Multiple Parties Violating Your Rights
Part 6: How COVID-19 Measures Violate Charter Rights
Part 7: What is Your Conclusion?
There are two basic types of legal rights that these measures are violating:
1. Federal – constitutional rights
2. Provincial - health care consent, privacy rights and protection from discrimination (human rights)
Civil rights can be confusing. That's where Stand Up Canada comes in!
Here is an easy breakdown for you of the purpose of each type of legal right.
1. Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; also known as The Charter
Created and enshrined under the Constitution Act in 1982; constitutional rights.
2. Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms (Québec)
Québec provincial government created their own Charter in 1975.
1. Health Care Consent Rights
Protects your right to give informed consent for all medical treatments.
2. Privacy Rights
Protects your private information; ID and medical.
3. Canadian Human Rights
Protects you with equality rights and from discrimination in employment, housing and providing goods and services to the public.
Your Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is referred to as your Constitution or simply the Charter. It contains 34 sections. When you hear people say that actions are against, infringe, or violate the Charter, the Constitution, or are unconstitutional, this is what they are referring to. The Charter falls under Canada’s Constitution and is only a small part of it. Your constitutional rights are important and they must be upheld.
Time to engage critical thinking! Below are the covid related deaths statistics for 2020 and 2021 to date. In order to determine if covid is serious a threat to our population, we need to look at the total deaths and then convert it to a percentage. This helps put things into perspective.
The reason we are listing these statistics up front, is that you need to ask yourself if any of the following COVID-19 measures outlined below are really justified when you see the number of deaths and percentages presented this way.
Remember this for when you get to Part 6 with the introduction to section 1 of the Charter.
The following is a list of COVID-19 measures with their descriptions and important notes that contains supporting facts. We are explaining how they violate your Charter, provincial consent, privacy and human rights (protection from discrimination). These measures actually violate multiple Charter sections you will see further below under Part 6.
Below is the list of all COVID-19 measures that are in violation of your rights.
Important Note – Legal Rights to Refuse Mandatory Vaccination:
Important Notes – Virus Not Isolated:
Important Notes – COVID-19 Vaccines are in Clinical Trials:
What does this mean?
This is unethical to present mass vaccination of these vaccines in Canada, without having undergone proper clinical trials for safety and efficacy, and without giving full disclosure so that patients can give their “informed consent” to participate in human trials.
Dr. Teresa Tam and United States’ Dr. Anthony Fauci have publicly acknowledged that the covid vaccine may not prevent infection or transmission of the virus and Dr. Tam speaks about how the Phase III clinical trials should be done with smaller groups to determine safety and efficacy.
Important Notes – Vaccinate or Terminate:
Are you aware that there are thousands, possibly millions of Canadians who are losing their jobs right now because they are choosing not to become vaccinated?
Do you know that their employers are putting them on “Unpaid Administrative Leave” if they will not disclose their vaccine status? This is involuntary unpaid leave. This is punitive action for a medical choice. This is not only wrong, but is a complete breach of employment contracts.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse…
Do you know that employees who chose not to vaccinate, are being dismissed for CAUSE?
Do you know there are thousands of first responders who are saying NO to mandatory vaccination? And that doctors and nurses are having their licenses removed because they are asking questions about the safety and efficacy of these “vaccines”? If our frontline heros are saying NO to the COVID-19 vaccinations, what does that tell you?
Are you not yet affected personally enough to stand up for your rights? What about for your friends or your family who are in this situation - will you stand up for them? Isn't that what Canadians do? We will give you the shirt off our backs. But for some reason, we just don't want to seem to get involved. What is going on?
Come on Canada - STAND UP for your rights!
Here is an excellent video presentation by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms about Mandatory Vaccination and Vaccine Passports.
Important Notes - If Virus Not Isolated Why Testing?
Can you imagine how scared, alone and isolated you would feel if you were kept ISOLATED from your friends and family for 14 days? With the level of FEAR in your body about dying from a virus that has not been isolated!
Most people do not realize that "isolation" is also a form of torture used in prisons called "SOLITARY CONFINEMENT". Medical experts have agreed that it is a cruel and inhumane form of punishment.
To make things worse and more complicated, you need to be aware that there are multiple parties violating your Charter, provincial health care consent, privacy and human rights (protection from discrimination).
This gives the illusion that since all government bodies and businesses are doing this, it must be OK.
NO – IT IS ALL UNLAWFUL – ALL MEASURES!
Do you know who is making these orders, the COVID-19 “measures”? It is the Chief Medical Officer for Canada as well as provincial Chief Medical Officers including Public Health Officials – these officials are responsible for all the municipalities by province.
Because Medical Officers are NOT elected officials. This means they are NOT accountable whatsoever for any of these “measures” you and I have been ordered to follow. Medical Officers are paid public servants working for federal and provincial government departments. While they have a term of 5 years or more as Medical Public Officers, they are still employed as public servants thereafter. In other words, they cannot be fired or voted out, as is the case for politicians.
Not only are Medical Officers NOT ACCOUNTABLE, they are also NOT LIABLE for anyone who suffers injuries for wearing a mask!!! It states this on their DISCLAIMER.
Here is Ontario Public Health’s Disclaimer:
· DISCLAIMER: “The application and use of this document is the responsibility of the user. PHO assumes no liability resulting from any such application or use”
Only your ELECTED officials. The POLITICIANS. The people you VOTED for to run the Country or run the Province for a SPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME. They are 100% accountable to you, NOT Public Health! They can be voted out of office. You cannot do this with public servants (Medical Officers).
So, why are we taking orders from anyone who is NOT ACCOUNTABLE and NOT LIABLE???
We know this is long, but if you have made it this far, well done!
The first 5 Parts are all informative and provide context for the next and last Part - understanding how COVID-19 measures violate charter rights.
Below are easy to understand descriptions of where the COVID-19 measures are violating your Charter rights. Relatable examples are provided to help you understand and see how this may be personally impacting you.
1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.
Section 1 – this section is THE MOST IMPORTANT one.
It is telling you that ANY of your guaranteed rights and freedoms BELOW this section, can be overturned or violated, as long as new measures can be proven to be “reasonable” and “demonstrably justified”.
In other words, your “guaranteed” rights and freedoms are NOT in fact guaranteed to you.
Government COVID-19 measures are NOT “reasonable” NOR are they “demonstrably justifiable”. All measures are not scientifically nor medically-based nor proven to be effective whatsoever in the case of viral respiratory disease (the flu).
Flashback to Part 2 - look at the number of covid related deaths in Canada converted to percentages of the population. Ask yourself right now if any of these measures are “reasonable” or “justified”.
· 2020: 15,651 deaths = 0.04% of population
· 2021: 13,301 deaths = 0.04% of population
2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
(a) freedom of conscience and religion;
What does Section 2 (a) mean?
This is your guaranteed right to have the FREEDOM of CONSCIENCE. This is your sense of what is right or wrong. FREEDOM of RELIGION. This is your right to participate in any religious association you want.
Examples:
– I believe wearing a mask is potentially harmful to my child’s psychological and physical health; I cannot in good conscience allow my child to be required to wear a mask while in school
– My religion does not permit me to cover my face or wear a face mask
– I am free to practice any religion of my choice, in any religious place of worship
These “measures” violate section 2(a) - freedom of conscience and religion

Provincial governments:
– Premiers' Declarations of Emergency
– Provincial Chief Medical Officers' recommendations
Municipal bylaws or Public Health recommendations
Bylaw officers who enforce any measure

What does Section 2 (b) mean?
This is your guaranteed right to have the FREEDOM to THINK what you want. The right to have your own BELIEFS, OPINIONS and the right to EXPRESS them in any way.
Examples:
– I don’t want to wear a mask because I think it's harmful
– I think people should have the right to choose if they want to wear a mask / or get a vaccine, or not
– I love singing in Church as it uplifts my soul!
– I don’t think anyone should take my temperature except my family doctor, and ONLY if I let them do it!

Example:
– I’m taking little Johnny to the playground for a play-date with his friends and I’m also thrilled to spend time with other adults while he plays
These “measures” violate section 2(d) freedom of association:
Who is violating this?
Canadian Federal government and Canada’s Chief Medical Officer
Provincial governments
– Premiers' Declarations of Emergency
– Provincial Chief Medical Officers' recommendations
Municipal bylaws or Public Health recommendations
6. (1) Every citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada.
What does Section 6 (1) mean?
This is your guaranteed RIGHT to COME AND GO as you please, from Canada to anywhere else in the world – provided you respect the out-of-country time limits.

These “measures” violate section 6 (1)
Who is violating this?

7. Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.
What does Section 7 mean?
This is a very important section as it covers many meanings with the words “life” “liberty” and “security” which applies to all Canadians. This is your guaranteed RIGHT to LIFE, to have SECURITY, to WORK as an employee or own and operate a BUSINESS. Section 7 only applies to non-incorporated businesses.
Examples:
– Small business is THE backbone of Canada’s economy and we’re proud to fill that vital role!
– I’m so lucky that I live in Canada and have the freedom to choose how I want to breathe
– I expect no negative consequences for choosing to not vaccinate myself or my dependent children, especially when these “vaccines” are experimental!
– There is no way I’m rubbing anything on my hands that is toxic (hand sanitizers)! That poison gets absorbed through my skin, into my body and will make me sick!
These “measures” violate section 7
Who is violating this?
Canadian Federal government and Canada’s Chief Medical Officer
Provincial governments
– Premiers' Declarations of Emergency
– Provincial Chief Medical Officers' recommendations
Business owners and staff who enforce any measure
Schools and teachers who enforce any measure
8. Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.
What does Section 8 mean?
This is your guaranteed RIGHT for a reasonable expectation of YOUR PRIVACY. Simply stated, police and other government agents cannot, without sufficient reason, invade the personal privacy of individuals. Your NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER and your DATE OF BIRTH is YOUR PRIVACY and no one else! Your MEDICAL INFORMATION IS PRIVATE!
Example:
– Waitress to patron: “Can I have your name, address and phone number please?” Patron to Waitress: “Are you kidding? You have no right to ask me this. Can I have yours?"
These “measures” violate section 8
YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO WALK AWAY FROM ANYONE ASKING FOR YOUR ID – THERE IS NO LEGAL OBLIGATION ON YOUR PART TO RESPOND
Who is violating this?

Provincial governments
– Premiers' Declarations of Emergency

Municipal bylaws or Public Health recommendations
Bylaw officers who enforce asking for your ID

9. Everyone has the right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned.
What does Section 9 mean?
This is your guaranteed RIGHT to you and your children to NOT be DETAINED (to lock you up in official custody) or put in PRISON, without legal authority.
Example of arbitrarily detainment:
– Little Suzy has just tested positive for COVID-19 at school, so she’s been removed and placed somewhere else WITHOUT her parents being PRESENT and WITHOUT their permission
This “measure” violates section 9
Important Note:
No one can be “held” or “detained” anywhere WITHOUT the legal protections of a fair trial or when someone has been “detained” without any legal basis for the deprivation of their liberty (depriving them of their freedom).
If you or your children have been diagnosed with COVID-19, you:
· CANNOT be detained at a hospital, prison or quarantine centre
· CANNOT be removed from your home
If you or your children refuse to wear a mask or to get a vaccine, you:
· CANNOT be detained
Who is violating this?
Federal or Provincial government who have written new legislation for this or enacted the Quarantine Act (the method by which travellers are taken without knowledge to an undisclosed destination and often times without their permission, is an absolute violate of this section)
Provincial or Public Health Officer who have written new recommendations for this
Any person, group or organization who is enforcing it
15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
What does Section 15 mean?
This means that every individual in Canada has the RIGHT to be treated with the same respect, dignity and consideration. Your MEDICAL INFORMATION IS PRIVATE and you should not be discriminated against for your medical choices (again, which is PRIVATE!)
Example:
– Being provided with the same service regardless of whether have a mental or physical disability that people can or cannot see (in reference to mask exemptions) and the right to not be discriminated against for your disability.
– Being provided with the same service regardless of whether or not you are vaccinated (in reference to conscience and religious beliefs or medical exemptions) and the right to not be discriminated against for your beliefs or exemptions.
These “measures” violate section 15. (1)
Note – Discrimination for Mental or Physical Disability
NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO ASK YOU ABOUT YOUR MEDICAL CONDITION
Who is violating this?
Anyone asking you about your medical condition; asking for proof of it; asking for a medical exemption from your doctor
– Business owners and staff
– Municipal bylaw officers
– Schools and teachers
If you are reading this and have made it to the end, then well done! You are a critical thinker.
When you see all the information presented like this, what conclusion have you drawn for yourself?
People hold power over you ONLY for as long as you let them. Take your power back!
Stand up and say NO to all of these violations against your Charter, provincial health care consent, privacy and human rights.
If all Canadians knew how much their rights were being violated, this would all end.
We believe that knowledge is potential power. But knowledge has no power without action. And so, our purpose has been fulfilled by giving you this knowledge…the rest is up to you.
