This is wrong. Quebec's curfew was far more restrictive, and more heavily enforced....
Also the charter dont mean anything so long as the notwithstanding clause is there, since it allows government to trample rights anytime.
There is a section in the Charter that specifically states an "emergency" or "quarantine" act do not over ride anything in the Charter. Pretty sure that's under section 6(?) - our rights in relation to travelling INTO and ACROSS our country as a legal citizen of Canada.
And I believe it's section 14 of the quarantine act states something along the lines of "nothing in this act can over ride the Charter of Rights and Freedoms..." I'd have to dig out my books to quote it specifically.
Because MOST Canadians don't even know what our Charter says, and what it allows the government to NOT do, it gives the gov't free reign to say and do whatever in the name of "your safety".
You don't have to deal with gov't direct. You deal with cops and 'peace officers'. These people have very, VERY little actual legal training. Most cops can't even tell you how many Chartered Rights there are, or what any of them even say.
No cop is going to arrest you for not wearing a mask. No cop is going to arrest you because you're not vaccinated. The government of Canada can't MAKE you take a vaccine. Nobodygetting covid tickets is #1 having to pay #2 actually being charged with a crime. They get thrown out in court due to our Charter, look it up.
You CAN sue whoever is restricting your rights, as a legal Canadian citizen, from travelling into or across the country, or purchasing goods on Canadian land with Canadian currency. Those things are GUARANTEED protections under our Charter.
Your medical history is Charter protected. Not even the government has access to your medical file unless you are dead.
There's no such thing as a non withstanding clause in relation to our Charter. The federal governing party cannot change or amend the Charter.

The notwithstanding clause is a dagger pointed at the heart of our fundamental freedoms, and it should be abolished. Although it does not apply to the whole Charter of Rights, it does apply to a very large number of the rights and freedoms otherwise guaranteed. …
Clearly, then, it gives federal and provincial legislators very wide powers to do as they see fit in limiting or denying those rights and freedoms. The Charter would not have protected the Japanese-Canadians who were forcibly interned during World War II. Nor will it protect anyone advocating an unpopular cause today.
Perhaps none of our legislatures will use the notwithstanding clause again. But it is there. And if this dagger is flung, the courts will be as powerless to protect our rights as they were before there was a Charter of Rights.49
Finally, it is entirely possible to amend the Charter.
Most amendments can be passed only if identical resolutions are adopted by the House of Commons, the Senate and two-thirds or more of the provincial legislative assemblies representing at least 50 per cent of the national population.
