After watching the events that transpired in a Scarborough parking lot on January 4th 2021 some important questions need to be asked.
Legality and constitutionality, while our primary focus, can no longer be the only way to assess our current situation. We now have to ask ourselves what is ethical and moral.
It is becoming abundantly clear that there is no end in sight. Time and time again we are seeing officers and the public being put in these situations.

Can the government justify laws that limit our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms? The short answer is yes. This is generally known as the reasonable limits clause. However, such limits must be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.

Since the formation of our group, and our initial request for clarification regarding the constitutionality of the public health measures, there have been a number of unfortunate incidents that could have been prevented.
In Gatineau, Windsor, Cobourg, and Minden, we have seen police officers and members of the public being put in difficult positions that have not ended well.

Thank you Maxime Ouimet for joining in support of Police on Guard for Thee.
I completed 11 years in the Laval Police Service in Québec. In 2020, during this crisis, I started noticing that the reality on the ground did not match what I was seeing on TV. I did not agree with the disrespect of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I had to resign so as not to be complicit in violating my oath and in order to protect the people of Québec. Since October 2020, I have rallied with the people and am fighting alongside to preserve my oath and their freedoms.
