"Without those rights -- we fall. We fall as a country. We fall as a people. We will no longer be what we are. That is paramount." - Vincent Gircys
Introduction
Vincent Gircys, a retired police officer from the Ontario Provincial Police, with 32 years of exemplary service, has spoken up. He has inspired many by his open support for the constitutional and human rights of Canadians during the state-sponsored COVID crisis.
He was filmed at Adamson BBQ making a short, but impactful, and impassioned speech. He is encouraging Canadian police officers to stand up and protect the Constitution and Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms with, and for Canadians.

Freedom of Conscience
Sec. 2 (a), one of the Fundamental Freedoms under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms provides that “everyone has the right of freedom of conscience and religion.” This is inalienable.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights outlines freedom of conscience:
Article 1: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act toward one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
Article 18: Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this includes the freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

A Laval police
officer has resigned from the force after posting comments on social media
denying the existence of the pandemic and calling Premier François Legault a
dictator.
Maxime
Ouimet, a 12-year veteran, resigned on Friday, Laval police confirmed to the
Montreal Gazette on Saturday.
Earlier in the
week, the Journal de Montréal revealed Ouimet had been assigned to desk duty
following his controversial posts.
In one, he wrote he would never “destroy” a person’s life by
issuing a ticket for not respecting public health regulations aimed at
preventing the spread of COVID-19.
“I took him off the road in an urgent way,” Laval police Chief
Pierre Brochet told the Journal de Montréal, adding Ouimet had been assigned to
desk duty and was the subject of an internal investigation.
Among other things, Ouimet wrote he had been working “since the beginning of the crisis and there is no pandemic.”
He claimed wearing masks was pointless, and that “emergency rooms
are empty.”
“I have been a police officer for 12 years to help, serve and
protect the people. I will no longer be a tool of the government to satisfy and
establish its dictator,” he posted in French on Tuesday.
“I say no to Premier François Legault. What you are doing is
illegal and unconstitutional.”
The Facebook page — titled Policier du peuple pour le peuple (A
police officer of the people for the people) — includes a photo of Ouimet
wearing his police uniform.
On Thursday, he wrote that his badge “will leave me tomorrow.”
“I can swear to you that 75 per cent of police officers in Quebec have a heart of gold like me. They are formidable colleagues who really put their lives and mental health in peril for citizens every day.”
Hours after Ouimet posted that message, a business he owns in
Terrebonne — Académie Beauté Maudite on Des Entreprises Blvd. — was
firebombed.
When firefighters arrived, they noticed the salon’s window had
been broken. The building’s sprinkler system had been set off and the fire was
extinguished.
No one has been arrested in connection with the firebombing that
took place sometime after 11 p.m. on Thursday.
Ouimet later confirmed, on a different Facebook page, that someone
had tossed a Molotov cocktail inside his salon. He reported his business was
heavily damaged by water, and he expressed dismay that his 12 employees would
be out of work for weeks.
Ouimet did not reply to a request for an interview.
