“The constitution of Canada does not belong either to Parliament, or to the
Legislatures; it belongs to the country and it is there that the citizens of the
country will find the protection of the rights to which they are entitled” Supreme
Court of Canada A.G. of Nova Scotia and A.G. of Canada,
S.C.R. 1951 pp 32.
I am not going to insert the Charter, as it is eight pages. However it can be
viewed at:

I would like to point out that anyone who through any element of force accepts a
medical treatment or drug has had their rights violated under the Charter of Rights
and Freedoms. Their rights to life, liberty and security of the person have been
violated. As well as their rights to equal protection and their rights not to be
the subject of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment for refusing or attempting
to refuse an unwanted drug or medical treatment. Healing is spiritual for many and
they can claim protection from unwanted medical intervention under Freedom of
Religion.
