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 participate in peaceful demonstrations. This involves the freedom to protest. But, these freedoms are not unlimited. 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.

The charter says that elected representatives of the legislature assemblies have to sit once a year.
