Bret speaks with Brian Peckford, who is taking the Canadian Federal government to court over COVID vaccine travel restrictions that he believes break the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, a document similar to the US Bill of Rights, which Brian drafted and signed.

Brian Peckford started his career as an educator, then served as the premier of Newfoundland and Labrador for nearly a decade. He is also an author, former minister, and notable member of the PC Party in Canada.

0:00.0	Civil disobedience is still a very important concept in any sensible democracy, any real democracy.
0:08.6	That's why that thing in Victoria is very important.
0:11.2	And I keep saying that if every legislature in Canada, every Saturday,
0:16.0	there were 10,000 plus people on an ongoing basis over the next all through the summer,
0:21.7	that I think we could have an impact upon public policy.
0:32.6	Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse Podcast. I have the distinct honor and pleasure of sitting
0:36.9	today with Brian Pekford is the former premier of Newfoundland and Labrador and the last surviving
0:44.0	First Minister who collaborated on the 1982 Constitution Act for Canada. Welcome Brian.
0:53.1	Welcome sir, nice to be here.
0:55.6	Terrific. So you and I have not met before but we've been traveling in parallel circles as we
1:03.7	have watched things surrounding the rights in the West, in the US and Canada especially change
1:10.1	as the pandemic marched forward. So I think it's a good idea that we discuss what someone who was
1:20.3	actually present and contributing to the Constitution of a great Western nation sees taking place in
1:28.4	the present. So where would you like to start? Well, perhaps I'd like to start with the fact that
1:35.2	a lot of your viewers and listeners might be interested that it was only 40 years ago that we actually
1:43.6	as a country put our rights and freedoms in writing, country and that's important in the sense that
1:51.1	the United States of America had a Bill of Rights like was 15 years after they formed their country.
1:58.2	So 1776 and 1791 were the two big dates in this discussion for the United States of America
2:06.4	in the Canadian context that was 1867 and 1982. So we were 114 years before we actually wrote down
2:19.1	our Bill of Rights if you will call the Charter of Rights same thing. And the differences
2:25.6	significant in the sense that we then proceeded along different pathways as a related to how
2:33.2	an individual defended the rights and freedoms in their particular countries. So what happened
