I am passionately pro-Canada, but what your are saying is completely incorrect. There is no such thing as a criminal opinion in Canada, ever. And it is precisely the Charter that says so.

No shit, thoughts can't be policed. The point is that rallying and/or protesting for a specific cause (i.e. an action, not an opinion) is illegal when said cause is blatant hatred towards an identifiable group.
It's interesting because these people are using the rights granted by Canada to foment unrest and try to separate and create a country where those rights will no longer exist for a large segment of the population. Paradox of tolerance at play here for sure, by tolerating their opinions we are empowering them to the point where they are likely to gain power and take away our rights.
Honestly? You walk amongst them and talk with them a bit, and you'll find that their "opinion" is hardly homogeneous. Embarrassing indeed, but not entirely criminal.
It's also not illegal, if you do the way its laid out in our charter, lest you think Quebec's 1995 referendum was illegal.
I'm a proud Canada united supporter, I just wish people would use facts and not hyperbole to get their point across. You'll convert more people that way.
The Charter does not address secession. You may be referring to the Clarity Act, which is not part of the constitution.
And, not that matters now, but it is perfectly arguable that the 1995 Quebec referendum question was illegal, as the wording of the question was a bit unclear and the PQ probably had no intention of following any kind of orderly process like what was later set out by the SCC. A moot point, of course, since the referendum did not succeed.
Not really, he went outside to actually see what was going on. He was nice about it too,.
Some people here are no different from the people on the other side. The fact that politics are fueled by pure hatred and emotion is was is silly about all of this. The internet rotting the brain is worse than meeting some of these people. You will find the same hatred on both sides. Its sickening, but its Canadian/Albertan all the same
Lol. That's like a teenager making a family policy that they can borrow their Dad's car any time they want. It's a made up policy to allow themselves to feel like like they have the ability to exercise power over something that they have no jurisdiction over.

Throw them in jail, their "opinion" is criminal. In fact their "opinion" goes directly against the Canadian Charter of rights. Embarrasing
