WATERLOO, Ontario, January 29, 2021 (Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms) — The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is defending Trinity Bible Chapel, located near Waterloo, Ontario, against escalating enforcement measures by the provincial government of Doug Ford, including contempt of court proceedings held January 27, with further hearings to be continued in February.
Jacob Reaume, the pastor at the church, has been a vocal advocate of the importance of gathering for worship in the life of the church and its community. Having witnessed the negative impacts from the harsh government restrictions on churches for many months in the spring, he announced December 3 on his website that if his region went into a hard lockdown again, his church would remain open, and that it was essential to do so — spiritually, psychologically, biblically and legally.
For more than 10 months, with no apparent end in sight, the government has infringed the rights and freedoms of Ontarians to assemble, associate, worship and travel, as well as violating citizens’ personal autonomy over their own health, and the right of long-term care residents not to be confined and treated like prisoners. All of these rights and freedoms are protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. While those rights may be limited in exceptional circumstances, the government’s violations of rights and freedoms must be proportional to the goal that the government seeks to achieve. The violations must be reasonable, rational, and not overly broad or arbitrary. The burden is on the government, not on citizens, to prove that the benefits outweigh the harms.
