Perhaps the Charter of Rights that guarantees our freedom of the press should be banned, too. Doesn't the Charter of Rights have an "out clause" buried in it somewhere that pretty much allows the government to render every right invalid whenever they feel the need?

Yes, plus & just as ominously, it has a "not withstanding" clause which allows both the federal & provincial governments to evade, (typically judicial activist) Court interpretations of the Charter. Trudeau was compelled to include it to "sell" the document to several of the provinces.
Always the hypocrites, the Liberals claim every word of "their" Charter is written in stone & yet boldly stated, during our recent election, they wanted to do away with the "not withstanding" clause since it would permit Parliament to run roughshod over "rights" the Charter is imagined to include by the legal hacks they've appointed to our Supreme Court. (not surprisingly, such imagined "rights" including virtually every item on the agenda of radical feminists & homosexuals)
Note: since the Charter was enacted in 1982, the "not withstanding" clause has rarely been invoked by provinces & NEVER ONCE by our federal government.
Given a majority government next time out, the Conservatives must either rectify this past political cowardice and/or dereliction of proper Parliamentary duty or concede that Canada is in fact a Judiocracy: a dictatorship by unelected, unaccountable Judges.

Absolutely.
Like all British-descended law, Canada's effectively extends its provincial and feral gummints' grants of priviledge and favor to its subjects.
United States Founding Law is unique in all of Human Experience in that We the People grant favor and priviledge to our gummints.
Never before and nowhere since has any even remotely similar Nation, the likes of our beloved FRaternal Republic, been anywhere inspired nor created.
Thank You, Dear Lord! Amen.
