WINNIPEG: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms represents churches and individuals who are challenging government lockdown restrictions in the Court of Queenâs Bench as unjustified violations of the Charter freedoms to associate, worship, and assemble peacefully. The hearing commenced on May 3, 2021 and is continuing this week.
The onus is on the Manitoba Government to justify its restrictions on Charter rights and freedoms as being reasonable, necessary and beneficial.
One of the crucial issues in this trial is the operation and reliability of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test that is used by governments across Canada, including the Manitoba Government, to diagnose Covid and measure its spread.

The old adage about media used to be, if it bleeds, it leads. The 2021 adage is fear sells.
During the past 14 months since the pandemic really began in America, the media has ramped up the fear. It continues today. On Monday, May 10th one Phoenix television station has three fear-based COVID headlines on their website alone.
Headline 1: How concerned should we be about global COVID-19 outbreaks?
Headline 2: Can Businesses require COVID-19 vaccinations? The short answer: yes.
Headline 3: Even after vaccination immunocompromised people are still facing the threat of COVID?
Fear sells. Fear also means website clicks and shares on social media.
