I think I remember this case. Although I don't think it's a provinces and health networks it's still disgusting that this is a policy. They is actually one of the reasons I haven't donated blood since 2020.
I don't remember too much of the specifics either, but they did try to argue charter violations, not the Bill of Rights, which is likely why the courts came to that decision.
Regardless, it's obscene to give people that kind of choice of "do you want to die with your illness, or do you want to risk your life to treat your illness with a treatment with the potential to kill?"
There was a similar lawsuit in Canada, the courts here declared that it was a lawful demand.
