Charges withdrawn against 4 Canadians who refused to comply with COVID-19 vaccine mandate

07/25/2024 / By Belle Carter

Four Canadians who did not comply with the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine mandate as ArriveCAN requirements at the Toronto Pearson International Airport had charges against them withdrawn.

But they’re not exactly happy with the decision.

“This outcome is bittersweet for each of our clients,” said Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) lawyer Chris Fleury. “It is positive for each of them personally. On the other hand, they were deeply interested in seeking a determination of the constitutionality of the irrational and unscientific decision forcing unvaccinated Canadians to quarantine.”

The withdrawn charges include those against Elim Sly-Hooten of British Columbia, who felt that his personal medical information should remain private and chose not to disclose his vaccination status via ArriveCAN at the said airport. Peel Regional Police and Public Health Agency of Canada personnel detained him. Sly-Hooten eventually revealed his vaccination status due to intense pressure and the fact that he did not have counsel. He received a $5,000 ticket for violating the?Quarantine Act?and was ordered to quarantine in his home for 14 days.

Sly-Hooten, with the help of JCCF, launched a constitutional challenge against ArriveCAN. He cited his right to liberty, his right to be protected from unreasonable search and seizure, his right to be free from arbitrary arrest and detention and his right to counsel after arrest and detention. Other travelers whose tickets were withdrawn were Mark Spence, Aaron Grubb and Evan Kraayenbrink. They were also charged for choosing not to provide information on the app and also ordered to quarantine for two weeks.

ArriveCAN has been criticized since its implementation. Canada Border Services Agency launched ArriveCAN in April 2020 and mandated in November 2020 in response to the World Health Organization’s declaration of a global pandemic. The $59.5 million scandal-ridden travel app was used to track the COVID-19 jab status. All travelers entering Canada had to use it to submit their travel and contact information as well as any COVID-19 vaccination details before crossing the border or boarding a flight.

Quebec recommends vaccine mandate this fall

Since vaccine mandate is still considered constitutional in Canada, Quebec’s immunization committee has released recommendations on administering vaccines this fall through a report published earlier in the week.

The committee report warned that people who have never had COVID-19 are more likely to develop complications following their first infection with SARS-CoV-2 despite good vaccination coverage because the effectiveness of the vaccine tends to wane after several months, especially when new variants emerge. It also said that the likelihood of experiencing severe symptoms leading to hospitalization is much higher for elderly people and that risk is compounded when a person has a chronic illness.

“The vaccine is very effective in preventing severe hospitalization. It’s not as effective to prevent transmission,” said Dr. Nicholas Brousseau, a public health physician at the National Public Health Institute of Quebec. “That’s why our recommendations target at-risk people.”

The committee is also recommending that the government wait for the availability of vaccines that are better adapted to new strains circulating before launching the next vaccination campaign.

“By fall 2024, it is expected that new versions of COVID-19 vaccines, targeting one or more strains closer to those currently in circulation, will be developed and authorized,” the report indicated.
