Justice with John Carpay The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms

During a Q&A session at an April 11 public meeting in Ottawa, John Carpay was asked about the unequal treatment of protestors in Canada. We start the show with his thoughts on the problem of discrimination against protestors. We move on to discuss a book that John was given while on that same trip to the capital, entitled “Against the Great Reset: Eighteen Theses Contra the New World Order,” edited by Michael Walsh.

Lawyer Marty Moore takes us through a complex Supreme Court of Canada decision, Dickson v. Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, about whether First Nations governments are subject to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. If they are, then what protections would they have to preserve what is known, legally, as "indigenous difference?"

Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation is in the very north of the Yukon Territory and centred in the remote community of Old Crow (pop. 221) on the banks of the Porcupine River. It is accessible only by plane. Isolated though it is, this decision will reverberate across Canada.

Chris Barber et al lawsuit against the truckers for the 2022 Ottawa protest.

John Carpay and Kevin Steel discuss the attempt by the Bloc Québécois and special interest groups to remove the Criminal Code's Section 319(3) - "the religious defense" to accusations of hate speech. John argues that it will lead to the removal of certain portions of religious texts in Canada. Would this proposed amendment result in the outlawing of all kinds of religious belief? We also discuss John's column on unvaccinated medical professionals still being barred from working in Ontario and BC health systems. We finish by examining a recently leaked, secret report by the RCMP that predicts civil unrest in Canada. The solution? John thinks "freedom" and "democracy" may be the answers.
