If you curfew all the parks, which government can do. It means all the homeless will be on the steps of city hall or any sidewalk anywhere.
Steps of city hall will be the one place you can never ever curfew or otherwise hinder access to. Short of emergencies act, but Canadian taxpayers will now foot the bill of $2million for each ottawa protestor.
So hows those park curfews working out? Not many implemented eh?
The discussion we're having is the "demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society" exception to our charter. In my opinion that exception needs to be removed asap, yet here we are.
The quebec covid curfew for example was found to be unconstitutional and the government decided to give itself 'exceptional circumstances raised by public health' just so they dont have to pay $ to each person who ever received one of the fines.
This will almost certainly be wiped out on appeal. Quebec will likely have to pay close to a billion ultimately in the next decade.
Though in the meantime, the CAQ have essentially committed political suicide having done this. PQ leader simply challenging the effectiveness of the curfew and opposing. The CAQ are going to lose the next election because of this and other issues.
I apologize - when you said "You have the right to free movement on public land", I assumed the statement was related to the reality in Canada, and not some hypothetical society.
