Four years ago, Justin Trudeau’s government banned unvaccinated Canadians from planes and trains. Now, Karl Harrison and Shaun Rickard are challenging this in court to prevent future restrictions.
Their new case, challenging the government’s authority to limit Charter rights under public health measures, will be heard this Monday, November 3, at the Federal Court in Toronto.
“It’s not actually an appeal from the first case,” Harrison clarified. “The cases launched in 2021 were administrative. This one is about establishing whether the so-called ‘unvaccinated’ can be defined as a protected class under Section 15 of the Charter.” . . .
The men seek judicial recognition that Canadians should not be forced to choose between mobility rights and bodily autonomy. “You shouldn’t have to give up one right to exercise another,” Harrison said. “Canadians have the right to say no… without punishment.”
Rickard warned that the issue remains urgent: “These mandates were never revoked, only suspended. If new legislation like Bills C-8 or C-9 passes, the government could bring them back at any time.” He urges anyone interested in the case to register to observe the proceedings online via Zoom, with details available through Rickard’s X account and the Institute for Freedom and Justice.
“The bottom line is,” warns Harrison, “that if a precedent is not set, then any government moving forward would be free to do the same thing again.”
