To the Editor,
Cutting to the bottom line: There is no state of emergency that justifies sweeping away Canadians’ basic freedoms. No war, no natural, no environmental or no manmade disaster here in Haliburton.
No emergency can override the meaning and spirit of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and any enshrined riparian property usage rights.
Our government is based on the consent of the governed. We decide. We aren’t property of the state. We aren’t products shaped by the state. We weren’t born to be to be in “greenbelt shoreline lockdowns” and pseudo-science test subjects in some grand utopian vision dreamt up by CHA and facilitated by our local part time politicians – those whom we can replace in two years if we feel betrayed.
