Commentary;

The Canadian Bill of rights, are your human rights.
The Canadian Charter does not state the human anywhere in the document…the charter only applies to the corporate employees of the Corporation of Canada.
Please understand that Canada is our Common Wealth Country where we the common people are are the government.
Our Common Law government only gets its authority if we the people give it our authority. and not the other way around.
The peoples government has no authority over us. The only law in Canada is Common Law and not corporate law.
Prime Minister Trudeau committed the most serious crime against Canada by shutting down the function of the Bank of Canada. We the common peoples bank.
The only real bank that has the authority to create and put money into our economy.
When Trudeau gave the creation of money to corporate banksters.
The Banksters then went about stealing our country with their fake money they create on a computer bank account screen.
Now all our public utilities have been stolen by corporate criminals.
All the the peoples common law governments across Canada have now been taken over and have been corporatized.
We the people have been dis empowered and have lost our common sense ways.
The less common sense a person has, the stranger they get.
Now we have all become strangers, strangers to common truth.
We need to take the corporate criminals out of our governments.

Bill of Rights in Canada

The 1960 federal Bill of Rights was an important step in the evolution of human rights in Canada. Following two petitions submitted to Parliament by Jehovah’s Witnesses, many of whom were arrested in Québec during the 1940s, the Bill was championed by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who had been a strong defender of the Witnesses during the Second World War.
The Bill had several weaknesses: it had no constitutional force and could be amended in Parliament like any other law. It was restricted to federal matters, and did not affect the provinces in any way. The Bill of Rights made little legal impact, but its shortcomings demonstrated the importance of a constitutional bill of rights and paved the way for the Charter.

UN adopts landmark bill for disabled rights

The UN General Assembly Wednesday adopted the first UN convention to protect the rights of the disabled.
The convention, which will protect the rights of more than 600 million disabled persons, requires countries to adopt laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of any form of disability, from blindness to mental illness.
Its purpose is to “Promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities, and to promote respect for their inherent dignity.”
It also protects the rights that have already been granted, such as ensuring wheelchair-accessible buildings.
Upon ratification participating nations must eliminate any existing laws that discriminate against the disabled.
Nations will be largely responsible for enforcing the rights, though an optional protocol to the treaty binds states accused of violating the terms to respond to a complaint through a proceeding before a special committee.

Below the comments you will find the full text of the Canadian Charter.

————————————-
John George Diefenbaker, PC, CH, QC(September 18, 1895 – August 16, 1979) was the 13th Prime Minister of Canada, serving from June 21, 1957, to April 22, 1963. He was the only Progressive Conservative (PC or Tory) party leader between 1930 and 1979 to lead the party to an election victory, doing so three times, although only once with a majority of seats in the Canadian House of Commons.
Diefenbaker was born in southwestern Ontario in 1895. In 1903, his family migrated west to the portion of the Northwest Territories which would shortly thereafter become the province of Saskatchewan.
He grew up in the province, and was interested in politics from a young age. After brief service in World War I, Diefenbaker became a lawyer. He contested elections through the 1920s and 1930s with little success until he was finally elected to the House of Commons in 1940.
In the House of Commons, Diefenbaker was repeatedly a candidate for the PC leadership.
He attained leadership of the party in 1956, leading it for eleven years. In 1957, he led the party to its first electoral victory in 27 years; a year later he called a snap election and spearheaded the Tories to one of their greatest triumphs.
Diefenbaker appointed the first female minister in Canadian history to his Cabinet, as well as the first aboriginal member of the Senate. During his six years as Prime Minister, his government obtained passage of the Canadian Bill of Rights and granted the vote to the First Nations and Inuit peoples.
In foreign policy, his stance against apartheid helped secure the departure of South Africa from the Commonwealth of Nations, but his indecision on whether to accept Bomarc nuclear missiles from the United States led to his government’s downfall.
Diefenbaker is also remembered for his role in the 1959 cancellation of the Avro Arrow project.
Even though factionalism within the party was muted by Diefenbaker’s electoral success, it surged again as the Progressive Conservatives lost support, falling from office in 1963, and his opponents were able to force a leadership convention in 1967.
Diefenbaker stood for re-election as party leader at the last moment, but only attracted minimal support and withdrew.
He remained an MP until his death in 1979, two months after Joe Clark became the first Tory Prime Minister since Diefenbaker.

Joe Bucks says, Is this worth the paper it’s printed on?
Canadian Situations says, it is worth fighting for..it has no value unless YOU put the value on it…
Scott Duncan says, “The Bill of Rights is American” –
EVERY Canadian cop says this (Making them legally incompetent for the job) and a printed copy is fun to have on hand.
Laura Ludwig says, Did you create this bill of rights Daniel J Towsey, I see your signature. John George Diefenbaker must have thought this was worth signing to sign it. Is this on file with the gov?
Canadian Situations says, Laura.. I signed this document to prove that i own it..Plus I signed it to put my approval and endorsement on it.. Plus if you read this you will discover that I sat across the prime minister Lester B. Pearson’s desk in late 1967. And freely walked the halls of Ottawas Parliament. I never met Diefenbaker.. But I learned of his legacy and the meaning of Common Law..
Laura Ludwig says, really nice.

Excellent Video… Detailed and precise info! However, on the issue of property rights not being in the Charter – they actually are hidden in section 26.
It’s not as obvious as the CBR 1960 but still in the Charter under the heading of “General” Sec 26 states:

“The guarantee in this Charter of certain rights and freedoms shall not be construed as denying the existence of ANY OTHER RIGHTS OR FREEDOMS THAT EXISAT IN CANADA.” … other rights includes/means property rights. Ta Da!?

I see what you mean.
However, I have done more research on this topic, and I have come to the conclusion that the REAL difference between the 2 documents is that the BILL lists the rights of the INDIVIDUAL, whereas the CHARTER has no individual rights whatsoever.
In truth, the CHARTER is for the rights of SOCIETY AS A WHOLE.
A perfect example of this was the recent striking down of the prostitution laws. That case began in lower courts as a fight for the rights of the INDIVIDUAL (one prostitute), and ended up being a fight for the rights of ALL prostitutes in Canada or in other words, SOCIETY AS A WHOLE.?

About the prostutution law, the case is about the inconstitutionnality of the dispositions of the Criminal Code about prostitution.
It has ALWAYS been about ALL prostitutes, as the Criminal Code applies to everybody.
Even if it’s only one prostitute goes in court with the case.
The lower courts and Supreme courts treat of the same case with the same legal questions and the same legal tests.
Except for the fact that a Supreme court decisions are more important because of the rule of the stare decisis, there really isnt any difference as the case goes up.
The prostitutes could have decided to based their case on the article 7 Charter or on the article 1 Bill of Rights, that doesnt change a thing.?

This is no property rights in Canada..There is only Deeds..Meaning you stake your claim by posting four markers and a year later if no one disputes your claim you then apply for a deed.. Which just means in deed you have a claim. Canada is common wealth where the whole country always belongs to the common people…?

The CHARTER has nothing what-so-ever to do with “Human Rights”.
As I stated in this video, the word “HUMAN” doesn’t appear in the CHARTER even one time.
The purpose of the CHARTER was to move Canada into a COLLECTIVIST system, where the rights of the INDIVIDUAL are sacrificed for the GREATER GOOD of the group as a whole !!!
The BILL OF RIGHTS is where your INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS are listed – and it features the word “HUMAN” 4 times !!!?

#1 – The “Surety Bonds Act” was old legislation for the Province of New Brunswick.

#2 – It was REPEALED on Dec. 19, 2008 (in the aftermath of the 2008 Financial Collapse) by “An Act to Repeal the Surety Bonds Act”:
“Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, enacts as follows:
1 The Surety Bonds Act, chapter S-16 of the Revised Statutes, 1973, is repealed.”

#1 – A person can be a NATURAL person or an ARTIFICIAL person.
#2 – A Natural Person IS a Human Being.
#3 – An Artificial Person is NOT a “corporation” – it is legally defined as an ENTITY.
#5 – The Charter protects the rights of SOCIETY as a whole – however, under the Charter there is no such thing as a right to “the enjoyment of property”.
#6 – The right to “the enjoyment of property” is protected by the Canadian Bill of Rights.
#7 – Your right to “the enjoyment of property” depends on whether you registered your property under the LAND TITLES ACT – which splits the TITLE,
granting the Municipal Corporation (town or city) the LEGAL TITLE to the land, allowing them to charge you PROPERTY TAX !!!?

100% Incorrect.
In law, the word “everyone” means “every PERSON” – google it for yourself.
“Everyone” means every person in the group counted as a whole.
“Every One” (2 words) means each individual.
Secondly, a Natural Person is not a “fictional character”.
An Artificial Person is a “fictional character”, but not a Natural Person.?

Yes the Charter is most definitely a private charter but as a business operating on Canadian soil it has to by international law,
protect human fundamental rights.
That is why all public officers/ servants have to by law have to purchase surety bond insurance ( Surety Bond Act ).
And where does the money come from to purchase the bond? The Consolidated Revenue Fund…which is approved by Lieutenant-Governor.
So if any official tresspasses on your rights or injures you,
you put a Notice of action against all involved and get certified copy of there bond?

What is the definition of “unnecessary”
8. Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure?
Reply

WakeUpToTheNWO2
unreasonable, adj. (l4c)
1. Not guided by reason; irrational or capricious.
2. Not supported by a valid exception to the warrant requirement <unreasonable search and seizure>.
– BLACK’S LAW DICTIONARY, 2009

Keep in mind, this is an American Law Dictionary definition,
but I suspect the Canadian definition would be the same.
It is definition #2 that pertains to unreasonable search or seizure.

What this means is basically, police must follow a set of rules.
If they go outside those rules, they must have a “valid exception to the warrant requirement”, meaning,
they have to be able to prove (to a judge) that there was a valid reason for doing so,
otherwise the search or seizure will be deemed “unreasonable”.?

Police will often use “fear for the officer’s safety” as a valid reason for an unreasonable search.?

+WakeUpToTheNWO2 Thanks alot for your time, this is becoming more clear.
Although the seizure was not initiated by a cop.
I was initiated my the state through the garnishing of wages.
Would I be wrong if I was to say that in this instances.
The state/province would only have access to my wages if I committed a crime?
I am seeing all over the net that a crime has to be committed in order to have a seizure!
This issue does not have to do with “child support”, cause, if a child is neglected, then it is a crime,
and then there would be tort for garnishing the wages, in my case it is a civil suit! ?
Reply

WakeUpToTheNWO2
+Storm Surge I think for your case, “unreasonable search and seizure” does NOT apply.
Usually “unreasonable search and seizure” only applies to those who have been stopped and/or placed under arrest by the police
(and the subsequent search of a residence or vehicle).

I have never heard of it being used to stop wage garnishing.
If you have a CIVIL judgement against you,
then this is merely a case of the government intervening on behalf of the injured party.

I am not certain of the circumstances of your case, or what the injured party claims you did – but in the end, you lost the case – PAY UP !!!
If you came here to look for a way to get out of having to pay the injured party – you have come to the wrong man.

Yes, I agree with you, although the landlord violated,
“landlord and tenant Act”,
I could not believe the judge did not mention the fact that I entered evidence and did not mention it in the judgement.
I am willing to pay some money but not all.
Section 8 applies to all levels of government according to the Canadian Constitution.
Section 8 does not combine “search and seizure” together. Our Charter say’s, “search ‘or’ seizure”.
I tried to contact the landlord to work-out a deal, but the landlord does not reply.
I am only working one day a week now atm because of a sickness, therefore,
I am within my exemption of 800 dollars a month.

According to Black’s dict; Since the Constitution only applies to crimes as being reasonable.
It would be safe to say that, I am in my full right to section 8 of the constitution.
The only “probable” cause would be evidence of a crime or a conviction of a crime!

Seizure
n. (15c) The act or an instance of taking possession of a person or property by legal right or process; esp.,
in constitutional law,
a confiscation or arrest that may interfere with a person’s reasonable expectation of finding evidence of a crime – Because the Fourth Amendment prohibits,
Unreasonable searches (as well as seizures), a search cannot ordinarily be conducted without probable cause.

1. Not guided by reason; irrational or capricious.

Great video overall but still a lot of problems with a lot of stuff you said…
In 1931, the Britishs gave the independance to all of its colonies.
They all chose to became independant right away except for the Canada because the provinces and the federal couldnt get along on many important constitutionnal subjects,
as the division of their new competences (91 and 92 of the constitutionnal law of 1982).

They wanted to get rid of us for a looong time, I think you should get back to your history documents…
Also, in human rights law,
the use of «human rights» and «rights of the person»,
«rights of man», etc. as been debated for a long time on the international scene.
You really can’t conclude anything serious about that of anything about the number of use of the word «human».
And the article 32 means that the Charter applies to the State (Parliament and law,
government and gouvernemental action) in its relation with the citizens.
You’ll find the same thing in different words at the articles 2 and 5(2) of the Bill of rights.
It means that all the actions taken by the state have to be conform to the Charter and that the Charter can’t be invoked in a private persons dispute.
There are so many judgements eaily accessible on the web (canlii.org),
how can you even say that the Charter can only be invoked by the governement employees??
Go back to your constitutionnal law bascis and get your stuff right,
you risk to confuse people about the fact that those rights DO exist.?

The CHARTER only protects the rights of SOCIETY as a whole – not INDIVIDUALS !!!?

A Constitution is in law a “SOCIAL CONTRACT”, which is defined as:
The expressed agreement between citizens and their government by which individuals agree to surrender certain freedoms in exchange for mutual protection; an agreement forming the foundation of a political society. Did you “express agreement” to “surrender certain freedoms”? I know I sure as hell didn’t !!!

To the extent Canada has has a “corporate” identity,
it is only in virtue of the Crown’s existence as a “corporation sole”.
Before 1982 as after, Canada has constitutionally been nothing but “Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada”.
The whole of the state or Crown — the Queen in Council, the Queen in Parliament,
and the Queen on the Bench — is embodied in the Sovereign acting by and with the advice of the three bodies.

The word citizen is defined in law as a person who owes allegiance to a political community.
~ Black’s Law Dictionary, 9th Edition The word allegiance is defined in law as a citizen’s obligation of fidelity and obedience to the government in return for the benefits of the protection of the state. ~ Black’s Law Dictionary, 9th Edition SOUNDS LIKE SLAVERY TO ME !!!

Look up the court case R. v. Dell This was a case where a guy was beat up by security at bar that he was thrown out of.
He sued the bar for violating his rights under the corporate charter.
The judge ruled: “Private security guards are neither government agents nor employees …
it cannot be said that the security guards were acting as delegates of the government carrying out its policies or programs.”

“I am confused, I have a SIN, yet? I NEVER asked for it.”
This means your parents APPLIED for the SIN for you when you were younger,
or even at the same time as the birth certificate.
If you look on the government website for registering a newborn’s birth,
there is an option to apply for a SIN at the same time.

In truth, the SIN makes those who APPLY for it a VOLUNTARY SERVANT !!! Does that answer your question?

#2: I never said that. I know it’s not part of the Charter.
But the Charter is part of the Constitution of Canada, being Part I of the Constitution Act, 1982.
The Canadian Bill of Rights applies solely to Parliament and, by the wording of s.2,
bars anyone from interpreting Acts of Parliament so as to allow persons under their authority to violate the rights enumerated there.
Same “corporate” (as you put it) effect.

#1: No. It applies to Parliament/the legislatures and their governments.
It restricts the content of laws Parliament and the legislatures can pass and also obliges them to legislate to ensure equality of treatment in conformity with the Charter.
The government employees question is merely one aspect of its application to Canadian governments.
You can call this a “private corporate charter” if you want,
but then you have to take the position that the Queen in Council is a private corporation.

Christopher Miller
in reply to WakeUpToTheNWO2

Here’s the difficulty: you claim it applies only to government employees.
The Canadian Heritage site’s comment applies only to the way it applies *directly*.
But again, what is in the authority of Parliament and the government or the legislatures and governments of the provinces is what is set out in Part VI of the 1867 Act,
“Distribution of Legislative Powers”:
Parliament and the legislatures together can legislate on anything including what private businesses and individuals can or can’t do.

Christopher Miller
in reply to WakeUpToTheNWO2

Now I see what you are talking about.
This is only half the question: actions of private individuals ungoverned by any specific statute and actions of officers subject to the Crown,
either of Parliament/a legislature or the executive.
Sure, the distinction applies there,
but for anything under Parliament’s or a legislature’s jurisdiction
(which together amount to anything under the sun), they can legislate to enforce charter rights, e.g. non-discrimination,
service in official languages etc.

I assume that you are completely unaware that there is a SEPARATE document that deals with PRIVATE human rights in the CORPORATION called CANADA?
This document is called the Canadian Human Rights Act, which was passed in 1977.

“Equality Rights 15.
(1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular,
without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
” Hence the obligatory nature of the CHRA, which after 1982 springs from “the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination” (etc.).

Christopher Miller
in reply to WakeUpToTheNWO2

I have long been aware of the Canadian Human Rights Act.
It is an Act of Parliament that extended human rights protections beyond the barebones basics in the Canadian Bill of Rights,
based on Parliament’s legislative jurisdictions.

This was done while the Trudeau government was still trying to entrench a charter in the Constitution.
The CHRA is one of the legislative extensions of the principle in the Charter’s s.32(a) that I was referring to.
The Charter’s s.15 made the CHRA an obligation.

An Artificial Person is a fictional entity, “such as a corporation”, that has been giver certain legal rights of a human being.
The “such as” is meant to be used as an example of what a “fictional entity” is.
A corporation is not the ONLY type of “fictional entity” that can be legally labeled an ARTIFICIAL PERSON.

A constitution is what it defines itself as. Not what some external commentator says.
I see you have a rather eccentric understanding of slavery.

Perhaps you would like to construct yourself a little island raft somewhere,
all the other remaining land being under the rule of what you take to be slavedrivers.

I should point out that the “application” clause of the Charter has nothing to do with government employees.
It refers to the 1867 Act’s ss. 91-101 distribution of legislative powers.

“Technically, it’s not a real constitution”?
Britain itself doesn’t have a single constitutional document.

The British constitution is just the set of laws,
customs and conventions that form the basis of how government works there.

Ours is based on that constitution with the other 31 texts added on top.

You are reading something into the wording of the Charter that is not there.
There is no way it can be interpreted as you think it is,
and the courts have repeatedly interpreted it according to the same broad constitutional principles as the Bill of Rights.

“We the people” is an American phrase.
They never actually voted on their constitution either.
Only their elected representatives, in the various states.
Just like here and most countries around the (therefore “PATHETIC”?) world.

(3) Notwithstanding anything in this section, if upon completion of a computation under rules one and two, the number of members to be assigned to a province is less than the number of senators representing the said province, rules one and two shall cease to apply in respect of the said province, and there shall be assigned to the said province a number of members equal to the said number of senators.
(4) In the event that rules one and two cease to apply in respect of a province then, for the purpose of computing the number of members to be assigned to the provinces in respect of which rules one and two continue to apply, the total population of the provinces shall be reduced by the number of the population of the province in respect of which rules one and two have ceased to apply and the number two hundred and fifty-four shall be reduced by the number of members assigned to such province pursuant to rule three.
(5) Such readjustment shall not take effect until the termination of the then existing Parliament.

(1) Subject as hereinafter provided, the number of members of the House of Commons shall be two hundred and sixty-three and the representation of the provinces therein shall forthwith upon the coming into force of this section and thereafter on the completion of each decennial census be readjusted by such authority, in such manner, and from such time as the Parliament of Canada from time to time provides, subject and according to the following rules:
1. There shall be assigned to each of the provinces a number of members computed by dividing the total population of the provinces by two hundred and sixty-one and by dividing the population of each province by the quotient so obtained, disregarding, except as hereinafter in this section provided, the remainder, if any, after the said process of division.
2. If the total number of members assigned to all the provinces pursuant to rule one is less than two hundred and sixty-one, additional members shall be assigned to the provinces (one to a province) having remainders in the computation under rule one commencing with the province having the largest remainder and continuing with the other provinces in the order of the magnitude of their respective remainders until the total number of members assigned is two hundred and sixty-one.
3. Notwithstanding anything in this section, if upon completion of a computation under rules one and two the number of members to be assigned to a province is less than the number of senators representing the said province, rules one and two shall cease to apply in respect of the said province, and there shall be assigned to the said province a number of members equal to the said number of senators.
4. In the event that rules one and two cease to apply in respect of a province then, for the purposes of computing the number of members to be assigned to the provinces in respect of which rules one and two continue to apply, the total population of the provinces shall be reduced by the number of the population of the province in respect of which rules one and two have ceased to apply and the number two hundred and sixty-one shall be reduced by the number of members assigned to such province pursuant to rule three.
5. On any such readjustment the number of members for any province shall not be reduced by more than fifteen per cent below the representation to which such province was entitled under rules one to four of this subsection at the last preceding readjustment of the representation of that province, and there shall be no reduction in the representation of any province as a result of which that province would have a smaller number of members than any other province that according to the results of the then last decennial census did not have a larger population; but for the purposes of any subsequent readjustment of representation under this section any increase in the number of members of the House of Commons resulting from the application of this rule shall not be included in the divisor mentioned in rules one to four of this subsection.
6. Such readjustment shall not take effect until the termination of the then existing Parliament.
(2) The Yukon Territory as constituted by chapter forty-one of the statutes of Canada, 1901, shall be entitled to one member, and such other part of Canada not comprised within a province as may from time to time be defined by the Parliament of Canada shall be entitled to one member.

51. (1) The number of members of the House of Commons and the representation of the provinces therein shall upon the coming into force of this subsection and thereafter on the completion of each decennial census be readjusted by such authority, in such manner, and from such time as the Parliament of Canada from time to time provides, subject and according to the following Rules:

(a) the sum of the populations, determined according to the results of the penultimate decennial census, of the provinces (other than Quebec) having populations of less than one and a half million, determined according to the results of that census, by the sum of the numbers of members assigned to those provinces in the readjustment following the completion of that census; and
(b) the population of the small province by the quotient obtained under paragraph (a).
4. Subject to Rules 5(1)(a), (2) and (3), there shall be assigned to an intermediate province a number of members equal to the number obtained

(2) On any readjustment,
(a) if, under any of Rules 2 to 5(1), the number of members to be assigned to a province (in this paragraph referred to as “the first province” ) is smaller than the number of members to be assigned to any other province not having a population greater than that of the first province, those Rules shall not be applied to the first province and it shall be assigned a number of members equal to the largest number of members to be assigned to any other province not having a population greater than that of the first province;
