Among the Canadian provinces and territories, Quebec has been the worst violator of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms during the pandemic, says a report released by a civil liberties advocacy group on April 14.

“Between its curfews, border closures, cavalier treatment of religious sensitivities, and outright hostility to unvaccinated Canadians, Quebec was easily the worst offender of freedoms guaranteed by the Charter and the worst place to live in Canada,” says the report, issued by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF).
