As you know, the Charter does not guarantee absolute freedoms. If the government is going to limit freedoms, it must establish the limitations are reasonable given all available facts. The government must adhere to a process to prove their actions are appropriate, called the Oakes test. We firmly believe, if presented with all available evidence in a court, the government implemented mandates would not pass the Oakes test.

It infringes on the fundamental belief in our society that the individual has the right and freedom to choose. The choice of whether to receive medical treatments has always been an individual\u2019s right in Canada. The Canadian National Report on Immunization (1996) stated \u201cImmunization is not mandatory in Canada; it cannot be made mandatory because of the Canadian Constitution.<sup>6<\/sup>\u201d Section 2 of The Charter guarantees these fundamental freedoms through the freedom of conscience (subsection a) and the freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression (subsection b)<sup>7<\/sup>.

According to these accredited Canadian doctors, these treatment options did not meet the criteria of true vaccines until very recently when the definition of vaccine was changed<sup>10,11<\/sup>. Without long-term data, these vaccines are still experimental.

Others have stated the current COVID-19 treatment options are proving to be less effective than initially believed<sup>20,21<\/sup>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cccc32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6cccc32\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">We have attached several documents as appendices to this letter which contain information we believe raises reasonable concerns with the current COVID-19 vaccination mandates seen across our country.

It would be little to no surprise for us to hear that a media agency misreported an incident.

It is not our place to decide what the outcome of an investigation should be. Our job is to collect all available facts so that the public (the courts) can make an informed decision. We have learned from past mistakes that presenting evidence that only supports one side, while ignoring or refusing to acknowledge evidence from another side, is wrong and tarnishes an investigation.

It has divided families, ended friendships, torn apart spouses, and entered the RCMP workplace. We believe the current messaging being put out by our provincial and federal governments is promoting the creation of an in-group referred to as \u201cVaccinated\u201d and an out-group as \u201cUnvaccinated\u201d. Even worse, the out-group has been labelled \u201cAnti-vaxxers,\u201d a term used out of context in a negative and derogatory way. The messaging from our governments is causing the dehumanization of the \u201cUnvaccinated\u201d group. By dehumanizing the out-group, an institution creates a greater divide between them and the in-group.<sup>28<\/sup><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efe4cd8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"efe4cd8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">Police agencies across Canada pride themselves in their efforts to hire officers reflective of the communities they serve. This allows community members to relate to their officers and see them as part of the community. We are representatives of our communities within the RCMP and representatives of the RCMP in our communities. Having a police force consisting only of \u201cvaccinated\u201d people while serving communities consisting of \u201cunvaccinated\u201d people will tear down some of the similarities RCMP members share with their communities. This will create a greater sense of \u201cUs versus Them\u201d between communities and police, which contradicts the community policing model the RCMP has strived to achieve for decades. We anticipate that unless this is corrected soon, it will continue to increase the divide in our country.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a8c73a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0a8c73a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">Dehumanizing individuals is challenging. It is easier to attach a label and stigma to a group. That way, anyone or anything that comes from the group can be written off<sup>28<\/sup>. The term \u201cAnti-vaxxer\u201d is currently being used to mislabel and group people into a category to take away their credibility.

Domestic violence is centred around power and control between an abuser and a victim. One of the biggest problems with domestic violence is there is often an escalation in the severity of abuse. RCMP members have been taught how to identify the signs that someone is involved in an abusive relationship. There are different types of abuse the abuser may engage in to keep control over their victim: Physical, Financial, and Emotional.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cf7171 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6cf7171\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">Emotional abuse is quite complex and will often include a variety of tactics such as socially distancing the victim from friends and family, discrediting the victim so they have difficulty obtaining support from others, and making the victim believe that their thoughts and beliefs are wrong \u2013 to the point the victim thinks they must be insane. When it comes to finances, an abuser will withhold money and assets from the victim. This ensures the victim cannot survive without remaining in the abusive relationship with the abuser. When an abuser feels they are losing control over their victim, it is quite common for them to escalate their tactics to maintain control.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c50dc30 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c50dc30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">The federal government is currently displaying several of those traits with its own employees, including the RCMP<sup>34<\/sup>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6123fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c6123fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">Commissioner Lucki, we understand your position is appointed, and we are concerned that you too may be subject to a similar relationship with the Prime Minister.

Our job as Mounties is to preserve the peace. If we continue down this road of segregation and discrimination, we risk repeating past mistakes. The divide in our society is quickly leaning toward a level of national security. We ask that you open an investigation to ensure no criminal acts were committed in the dissemination of information from federal and provincial health authorities or public figures in positions of trust. We ask you to send investigators to collect statements from medical professionals (and other reliable witnesses) who allege they had been silenced \u2013 putting lives at risk. Allow us to make this information publicly available to all so the public can scrutinize it and achieve informed consent. As Canada\u2019s national police force, we are unique in our ability to conduct a large-scale cross-country investigation, which must be transparent to regain trust in the government.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac62d59 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ac62d59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">We also ask that you challenge the Federal Government\u2019s decision to send Mounties home without pay for decisions they\u2019ve made on beliefs protected by Canadian laws.
