Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms

Your donation equips our legal team to defend freedom in courts of law and in the court of public opinion.  We defend the Charter freedoms of expression, association, religion, conscience, mobility, and peaceful assembly, and democracy under the rule of law.

Justice Centre lawyers continue to defend Matt and Nicole Alexander, who were abruptly fired from their teaching positions for “not celebrating and affirming LGBTQ issues.”  There were no complaints against either teacher about failing to treat a student with respect and kindness.  Their union refused to take their grievances to arbitration.  However, we are pleased to announce that the Ontario Labour Relations Board recently ruled against an attempt by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario and the Renfrew County District School Board to have the Alexanders’ case dismissed.  No Canadian should be fired for refusing to affirm and celebrate an ideology that contradicts their moral or religious convictions.

We continue to provide lawyers for BC nurse Amy Hamm, recently found guilty of “unprofessional conduct” by the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives because she said publicly that there are only two genders.  Amy’s professional regulatory body also ordered her to pay $93,639.80 in legal costs.  The legal battles continue.

On the east coast, Justice Centre lawyers are in court to challenge Nova Scotia’s irrational ban on walking in the woods, imposed by Premier Tim Houston.  Our lawyers represent Jeff Evely, a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces.  Conservation officers fined him $28,872.50 for merely walking in the woods.  This anti-human law views people as the problem, rather than targeting higher-risk activities like smoking, campfires and cooking in dry, wooded areas.

We continue to defend peaceful Freedom Convoy protestor Chris Barber against the Crown’s demand that his truck, “Big Red,” be seized and that he spend the next eight years of his life in prison.  To imprison a man who sought and followed legal advice while peacefully protesting harmful Covid vaccine mandates would bring the administration of justice into disrepute.

Justice Centre lawyers represent Terry Francois in a Federal Court case highlighting serious concerns about accountability and due process within First Nations governance.  The Indigenous father of five was banished without warning from his home and family on the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation reserve in Manitoba.  “I was totally shocked. I felt crushed,” said Mr. Francois. “I’ve worked all my life and raised five girls on my own. I didn’t think this could happen.”   

Our lawyers continue to defend peaceful protestor Evan Blackman, who was arrested and charged with mischief and obstruction for his involvement in the 2022 Freedom Convoy.  Now, a court has ordered the RCMP and TD Bank to produce records related to the freezing of his bank accounts.  This ruling marks a significant step in the first Charter challenge to the freezing of personal bank accounts under the Emergencies Act.

The Justice Centre continues to collect petition signatures against Bill C-2, the Strong Borders Act (which I prefer to call the “Strong Surveillance Act”).The Bill would grant the federal government new regulatory powers over electronic service providers and would allow law enforcement to conduct warrantless searches.  The Bill would also outlaw cash transactions of $10,000 or more, which opens the door to eventually outlawing all cash payments and donations.   

I invite you to join the 35,000 Canadians who have signed our petition (www.jccf.ca/petitions) calling upon the Prime Minister of Canada to strike the criminalization of cash, and to table legislation protecting Canadian’s right to use cash of any amount for legal transactions. 

My new book, Corrupted by Fear: How the Charter was betrayed and what Canadians can do about it, is a #1 Bestseller on Amazon, with over 3,500 copies sold since January.  Corrupted by Fear exposes how some judges repeated the media narrative in their Covid court rulings, rather than considering the evidence that was placed before them in court.  The paperback, eBook and audiobook versions are available at Amazon.ca.

The deadline to enter the 2025 Brandon Langhjelm Memorial Essay Contest is fast approaching – October 26, 2025.  This year, we invite Canadians aged 15 to 25 to write on either the value of privacy or on the balance between freedom of religion and state neutrality.  Learn more about this contest at www.jccf.ca/essay-contest.  

The Justice Centre has released a new report, “Post-Covid Canada: The rise in unexplained deaths,” available at www.jccf.ca/reports.  Statistics Canada data shows that more Canadians are dying after the government imposed lockdowns and vaccine mandates.  According to Statistics Canada, the 2022 and 2023 death rate for children was 15% higher than in the years before lockdowns, and deaths among Canadians under the age of 45 are up by more than a quarter. Drug overdose deaths are up by 55%, and alcohol-induced deaths are up 18%.  The additional deaths among children and younger Canadians were not caused by Covid.  Incredibly, there was a 26% increase in Covid deaths after most Canadians had been injected with Covid vaccines.   

Follow the Justice Centre on X @JCCFCanada to receive exclusive updates, interviews and videos.  Justice Centre videos are also posted on our YouTube, Vimeo and Rumble channels.

The Central Bank Digital Currency brochure educates Canadians about the dangers of Central Bank Digital Currency.  If you would like extra copies to give away to friends, neighbours and family, please email info@jccf.ca or call our office at 403-475-3622.

Thank you for your continued support, which allows us to defend the free society in 2025.   

Yours sincerely,

Majoring in the Minors

The horribly woke, dreadfully led Canadian Armed Forces is at it again.A CBC News (March 7, 2024) highlighted the deplorable state of Canada’s Armed Forces. ” Only 58 per cent of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) would be able to respond if called upon in a crisis by NATO allies right now — and almost half of the military’s equipment is considered “unavailable and unserviceable” — says a recent internal Department of National Defence (DND) presentation obtained by CBC News.….The presentation says the air force is currently in the worst shape of all the CAF forces, with 55 per cent of “fighters, maritime aviation, search and rescue, tactical aviation, trainers and transport” considered “unserviceable.” The navy is not too far behind, with 54 per cent of its “frigates, submarines, Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships and defence vessels” in no state to deploy, the presentation warns.”
So, who allowed so much equipment to rust or deteriorate? Shouldn’t there be a major investigation of this neglect and scandal. Shouldn’t careers be on the line?


But, no, there’s a witch hunt for members of the Canadian armed forces who are part of a chat group featuring politically incorrect ideas: The Canadian Press (July 4, 2025) reports: “Military police have reopened an investigation into a Facebook group the Canadian Army’s commanding officer describes as “abhorrent.” Lt.-Gen. Michael Wright said in a media statement Friday that he was made aware of allegations about a Facebook group called the “Blue Hackle Mafia” on June 25 and that they involved “members of the Canadian Army. Wright said the group’s posts featured “racist, misogynistic, homophobic and antisemitic comments and images.”

 …I am disgusted by the content of some of the posts published on this group. Posting such content runs counter to our values and ethics. I have reinforced with the chain of command the importance of our military disciplinary and administrative processes in addressing reported misconducts.”
Let’s wrap our heads around this: Freedom of expression on one’s own time in a private Facebook group runs counter to Lt.-Gen. Wright’s “values and ethics” but letting the equipment in Canada’s military rust into uselessness doesn’t? Who’d want to serve in a woke military that treats its soldiers so poorly?

Travis Patron & the Canadian Nationalist Party Protest Anti-democratic Ban by the Royal Canadian Legion

Letter To The Legion

Patron Writes Letter To The Legion

Canadian Nationalist Party Leader Travis Patron has wrote a letter to the Royal Canadian Legion following their decision to exclude his party from their branches leading up to the most recent 43rd Federal Election last year.

Read the letter Patron wrote today addressed to the Royal Canadian Legion:

Royal Canadian Legion – Saskatchewan Provincial Command,

I write you in response of your letter served to our organization last year leading up to the most recent 43rd Federal Election in which you communicated your decision to exclude us from using any of your branches. You also used the letter to condemn our speech and actions as well as falsely-accusing us of promoting hate “based on nationality, religion, and sexual orientation”.

I will have you know, dear Legion, that perhaps more than anything our political constituency hates cowardice and, unfortunately for you, your organization’s affiliation with us thus far reeks of this.

As a federally-sanctioned political constituency, and the only one headquartered within the province, your decision to exclude us from your branches is inherently against democratic association your bylaws claim to represent!

Your rash actions come in response to our event held at the Redvers Legion Branch #293 on June 14th, 2019 when we communicated our electoral policies to voters. If the purpose and objectives of the Royal Canadian Legion are to support democracy, as your bylaws seem to suggest, than this decision is counter-intuitive by its very nature!

I will have you note, dear Legion, that this address to the community on June 14th, 2019 at your branch seems to have been well-received despite your apparent reluctance to defend the national sovereignty our veterans fought so valiantly to defend!

Due to these poor decisions, not to allow federal political parties to speak at your venues, among other reasons, many of your branches are now lying desolate, on the brink of insolvency, and collecting dust. This is a disgrace to many of those who served and continue to serve in upholding our national identity and ideology, the very thing our political constituency espouses!

You dishonour us with your words and ill-conceived condemnations. Your cancellation procedures are abrupt and given on extremely short notice. We speak not only of your provincial command here in Saskatchewan, but nationally, in other areas of the country as well/ Kindly pass this letter onto your National Headquarters as well so that they may be informed of our displeasure in how the once respectable Royal Canadian Legion is being run today!

Many of us, myself included, have ancestors who fought in the Great Wars so that their descendents may enjoy basic freedoms such as the ability to express and advocate for oneself – values your contemporary command seems to run afoul of!

You disappoint us, dear Legion, as your branches no longer support the ability for people to express themselves, but censor an conceal themselves in a false veneer of patriotism! You cower under the pressure from the mainstream media narrative and nameless hooligans to cancel events which take time, money, and patience to organize. How exactly do you expect to gain in popularity from such a thing? You will quite likely not!

I will have you know, dear Legion, that if you continue to surrender the sacrifices our nation has made, and which are imbued in the history of your very branches, than some other organization will step in, with our without your consent, to defend their sacrifices and carry forward the torch for generations yet to come!

Signed,

Mr. Travis Patron
Canadian Nationalist Party Leader

The decision to exclude the party came shortly after Patron hosted an event at the Redvers Legion Branch #293 on June 14th, 2019, which can be viewed below:

We thank those who attended and those who continue to support our organization.

If the Royal Canadian Legion continues to softly surrender the sacrifices our nation has made in times past, which are imbued in the historical legacy of these very branches, than some other organization will step in, with or without their consent, to carry forward the torch for generations yet to come!

Canadian Forces reject recruitee over a 2019 op-ed he wrote about diversity; Political Commisars Insist On Political Correctness for New Recruits

Canadian Forces reject recruitee over a 2019 op-ed he wrote about diversity

By Lindsay Shepherd -December 5, 2020 Share Facebook Twitter Linkedin ReddIt Email

Last year, an op-ed appeared in the Vancouver Sun titled “Ethnic diversity harms a country’s social trust, economic well-being, argues professor.” 

The author of the piece, Mount Royal University geography instructor Mark Hecht, reviewed current research on the issue of ethnic diversity and social trust, and posited that immigration policy should be informed by norms of cultural compatibility and cohesion.

You probably never got the chance to read the original article – it was only live for a matter of hours, after all.

Activists and journalists immediately took to social media to accuse Hecht, the Vancouver Sun, and Postmedia (the Sun’s parent company) of bigotry, hate and white supremacy. The editor-in-chief of the Vancouver Sun apologized for running Hecht’s article, and the article was quickly pulled from their website.

Most of the criticism directed toward the op-ed was filled with name-calling and hyperbolic accusations, while few critics refuted Hecht’s claims, which he himself admitted were controversial.

Mount Royal University publicly defended Hecht’s freedom of expression, but quietly cancelled the “Sustainable Europe” field school he was set to teach the following semester. 

Hecht then moved to Victoria, BC, and in February 2020 he applied to join the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Naval Reserves. 

“I liked the idea of serving my country, and the camaraderie of the armed forces,” Hecht told True North. “I’ve also always been attracted to water and ships, which is why I applied to the Navy.” 

Over the next few months, Hecht completed “four-fifths” of the recruitment process: he met with a recruiter, passed his aptitude and physical fitness tests and completed his medical examination. The last task on Hecht’s checklist was a written exam specific to the Public Affairs Officer position, which he was encouraged to pursue by a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) recruiter. 

But in late October, Hecht received a letter in the mail that told him, “at this time, your application to the Naval Reserves will be ceased. In light of an article that you published in 2019, it was deemed that the views you expressed do not reflect the Canadian Armed Forces policy on Discrimination, Harassment, and Professional Conduct.”

The letter went on to say that the CAF forbids verbal and written statements that “promote discrimination or harassment on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination, as defined in the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA).”

The letter Mark Hecht received from Commander Cameron Miller dated October 20, 2020.

“Nothing I said in the op-ed goes against the Canadian Human Rights Act,” Hecht counters. He points out that much of the article was a rehashing of existing social science research and data.

Hecht was “quite looking forward” to working with the Naval Reserves: “I was getting excited about it…I had invested a lot of time and energy, such as making sure I was fit as a 50-year old, because you’re going up against 18-year olds.”

“I was let down.”

True North reached out to the CAF and asked which line(s) from Hecht’s op-ed promote discrimination and harassment.

“The CAF is committed to increasing diversity and being an inclusive organization where diverse perspectives are welcomed and valued,” Captain Mathieu Dufour replied in a statement. “Mr. Hecht’s op-ed presents and supports an argument for a society with less ‘diversity, tolerance and inclusivity.’ By doing so, Mr. Hecht demonstrates opposition to the values and policies of the CAF.”

“The policies and direction that govern the conduct expectation of CAF members are incongruent with Mr. Hecht’s publically [sic] shared personal belief that diversity weakens Canada.”

Again, no one is refuting the facts and research findings that Hecht presents in his article: he discussed studies on Muslim integration in Denmark; a paper on diversity and economic growth written by a Harvard economist; and sociological research about self-segregation, ethnic enclaves and social trust.

Apparently, discussing this research in the public realm and challenging the de facto state religion of diversity and inclusion renders you unemployable in Canada.

Hecht is now seeking legal representation to take the CAF to court.

“There seems to be a real issue with freedom of opinion,” says Hecht. 

“A lot of people are afraid to speak their minds these days. It’s a threat to our democracy.”

Why Would Anyone Want to Serve in Canada’s Politically Correct Anti-Free Speech Military?

Why Would  Anyone Want to Serve in Canada’s Politically Correct Anti-Free Speech Military?

Canada’s politically correct military leadership has been dancing to the censorship tune of Jewish groups demanding a purge of the ranks of “right wingers”. The Friends of the Simon Weisenthal Centre “is urging Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan to turn all suspected acts of racism, white supremacy and hateful conduct within the Canadian Armed Forces over to a specialized task force of military police officers or the RCMP for investigation. … The centre also wants to see the military adopt a policy of immediately sending all cases of alleged white supremacist activity to military police or the RCMP for investigation.” (CBC, September 4, 2020) [What, exactly, is “White supremacy”? Opposition to massive Third World immigration is sometimes labelled White supremacy. So is White pride. But Zionism or Jewish pride are alright?] “We need to end this culture of tolerance for neo-Nazis and neo-Nazi activities within our Armed Forces and it needs to be done now,”  Jaime Kirzner-Roberts of the Wiesenthal Centre demanded.

“The commander of the Canadian army says he plans to issue a special order that will give individual army units across the country “explicit direction” on how to deal with soldiers suspected of hateful conduct and extremism.

Lt.-Gen. Wayne Eyre told CBC News he also will reinforce the message personally by convening a meeting of all commanding officers and regimental sergeants major — 450 mid-level leaders — to discuss the problem of far-right infiltration of the military. “There is absolutely no place in the Canadian Army for those who hold hateful beliefs and express these beliefs through hateful behaviour. If you have those types of beliefs — get out. We don’t want you. You bring discredit and dishonour upon our organization.” (CBC, September 15, 2020)

So, as a member of the present military, you’re asked to risk your life to defend freedoms in other countries (say, Afghanistan), which the same military denies to you? Let the wankers, and soy boys and snowflakes go and fight, if they don’t go scuttling to the nearest “safe space” first.

So cadaver guy has no use for political diversity in the Canadian Armed Forces. Who’d want to fight for other’s freedoms in an army that has no room for political diversity. Let the wankers, soy boys and snowflakes fight for “diversity”.
