This ensures that everyone is treated with equality, especially in regards to men and women having equal rights and individuals being able to speak freely without consequence. The Canadian Charter includes fundamental freedoms, democratic rights, mobility rights and equality rights. "The charter guarantees such rights as the right to equality, democracy, and mobility. The freedoms include those of conscience, religion, and peaceful assembly." (Norman-Eady, 1998). If the charter is breached at any time, the individual may appeal.

This ensures that people of different cultures, religions and beliefs can practice their religion as needed/wanted. A freedom like this allows individuals to be treated with the same respect and equality and someone who does not share the same beliefs, this is especially important in a court of law. The law states that this will only be used if the individual has shown that they are very passionate and involved with the religion or belief, the importance must be shown. "will only be triggered where the claimant shows that he or she has a sincere practice or belief that has a nexus with religion" (Government of Canada, section 2a).

People around Canada have different opinions and beliefs of what is right and wrong and this freedom allows for it to be respected and expressed without consequence. This plays a major role in Canada being a 'free' country. Another major portion under the freedom of religion is the schools rights and privileges, in regards to religious schools. "Freedom of religion is subject to such limitations as are necessary to protect public safety, order, health or morals and the fundamental rights and freedoms of others." (Government of Canada, section 2a).

Trinity Western University and Trinity Western University v. Law Society of Upper Canada (case) mckennahuether https://padlet.com/mckennahuether/y89ay79bzuritwzq/wish/1362097157 This case is about how the freedom of religion was compromised between a law school and a University. A christian University wants to open a law school, but is saying that all students must be abstinent and not partake in any sexual acts before marriage. this includes within the school and during free time. The students wanted this case to be revised because they felt that their freedom of religion was compromised . It was said that they should be abled to continue a law degree without any regards to their personal/religious lifestyle outside of school. It was very controversial as many different people on the case/jury had different perspectives and opinions on the matter. This may have infringed on a few other freedoms and rights as well and discriminates against people of a different sexuality, as they stated that sexual relations may only occur between married man and woman. "prohibits sexual intimacy except within marriage between a man and a woman." (SCC, 2018).
