- Everyone in Canada has fundamental Freedoms, like practicing any religion or no religion. For example, everyone in Canada has the freedom to wear religious clothing to express their religious beliefs in public. Everyone in Canada has the freedom to speak their mind and think their own thoughts. People are also aloud to meet with anyone they wish and protest. This involves the freedom to protest. But, the charter does not support hate speech that involves threats of violence.
- Legal Rights
- Everyone in Canada has the right to vote in an election and to run for the public office themselves. But there is limitations like how you people must be 18 years old or older to vote. However our elected governments cant hold power for an unlimited time. The charter requires a election every five years. The only exception to this is if there is a national emergency like a war. The charter says that elected representatives of the legislature assemblies have to sit once a year.
- Equality Rights
- I cant assume who did it. I have to treat them fair.
- People who live in Canada have the right to enter, remain, and leave Canada. People who are Canadian citizens or are permanent residents have the right to seek work and live anywhere in Canada. Governments can not discriminate based on what province a person lives in or lived in. However, laws can set certain rules for when people are able to get social, health, and welfare benefits.
- Minority-language Education Rights
- Legal rights include: Right to be treated fairly by the police, Right to privacy, protection against unreasonable laws, protection against arrest without good reason, right to be secure against unreasonable search and seizure, and protection against cruel and unusual punishment. You also have many rights after you get arrested. An example would be that you are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a fair and public hearing by an independent and unbiased trial.
- Sir were going to need to search your house.
- I have Legal Rights! You cant search my house without a warrant.
- Equality rights were made so that everyone is treated equally with the same dignity, respect, and consideration without discrimination against a persons race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability's, residency, marital status, or citizenship. The result of all this is that everyone should be treated equally under the law. No one should be treated differently under the law because of their different characteristics.
