Talking vaccine passports; what about our rights and freedom?

Many Canadian,s according to an IPSO Poll, support vaccine passports. The prime ministerr and the minister of health are talking it up. Here’s a headline from CTV News —

"Hajdu says Canada will come up with 'certification' to allow COVID-clear Canadians to travel again" 

And the PM from CTV News
"Vaccine passports 'to be expected', but Canada not ready to set terms yet: Trudeau"

Meanwhile the U.S. Federal Government through its President said they will not get involved with the issue. From that CTV news report: “U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has said that it will not push for mandatory vaccination credentials or a federal vaccine database because of sensitive legal and political issues.”

I don’t think many realize how such efforts violate our basic rights.

2 Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
(a) freedom of conscience and religion;
(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
(c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and
(d) freedom of association.

Mobility of citizens
6 (1) Every citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada. 

Legal Rights
Life, liberty and security of person
7 Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. 

I have sent an e-mail to the Minister of Heath in Ottawa opposing such a measure. Her e-mail is hcminister.ministersc@canada.ca.
