See, you made the mistake of assuming we had the rule of law in Canada (i.e. the land being ruled by a set of hard and fast laws that even the government can't violate).
But that's not how it works in Canada. We have the appearance of the rule of law, but in reality the government can do whatever it wants and there's nothing you can do about it. All those "rights" in your "Charter of Rights and Freedoms"? Those are just suggestions for how the government should treat you.
At this point I'm pretty sure rights in the legal sense are just a spook, you only really have the right to what you and your allies can defend through force. Any sort of written list of rights such as the Charter can be spun around in some way to nullify them in specific situations. Eg. the classic "you don't have the right to yell fire in a movie theatre!". Or, in the case of covid, redditors will often defend restrictions of your liberty because your liberty threatens other people's lives with disease. I don't believe either of these are particularly convincing reasons to restrict people in the way they are used, but it doesn't really matter what I think - it only matters that the government (and the people who have been brainwashed by media and/or public school, they reinforce each other) has the ability to use escalating levels of force, from fines to incarceration to murder depending on your level of resistance, to destroy you. You don't get your rights back until you have a sufficiently sized and/or armed group to defend them and make it infeasible or unduly expensive for the government to fight you.

You totally can yell FIRE in a crowded movie theatre....if there's a fire.
I guess I will say nothing and burn to death then.
