Besides, going out in the woods around here on a busy long weekend sucks. Living on the island it is the one weekend I do not venture out. Too many yahoo's.
It's attitudes like this that only embolden Governments to continue to chip away at citizens rights, because too many people take whatever government says is best for them as Gospel.
I know this might be hard for some to grasp, but I'm scared shitless to eat much of the food found in grocery stores. I also like to have a connection with the food I eat - knowing/seeing where it came from, how it was living its life before it died, or watching the veggies grow in my garden and knowing no chemicals whatsoever were sprayed on them and the soil they grew in was pristine. Ive always found the fish that I catch taste vastly superior to anything I've bought from a grocery store.
Can you please indulge/enlighten me as to what rights I think I have, but apparently (according to you) I don't actually have? Also, can you please show me where the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that violating our Section 6 Mobility Rights was justifiable and reasonable? Because that has not happened yet and just because you think the non essential travel ban is justifiable, does not mean the majority of the justices on the highest court in the land see things your way.
Who knows, they might rule that it was reasonable to infringe on our Section 6 rights. But the reality is they haven't ruled on anything yet and it's premature to assume that it's ok for government to restrict our right to move freely in this province/country
