John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, is advocating for the restoration of basic Charter rights that he believes were compromised during the pandemic. His new book, "Corrupted by Fear: How the Charter was Betrayed and What Canadians Can Do About It," addresses these concerns.

In a recent discussion with Brian Lilley, Carpay emphasized the importance of exposing what he describes as flawed science, negligent court decisions, and irresponsible media coverage that allowed governments to exercise excessive powers. He argues that while the COVID-19 pandemic may be over, the potential for governments to overreach remains a pressing issue.

Carpay warns that if Canadians do not actively work to rebuild a culture of freedom, history suggests that similar government actions could occur again in the near future. He believes that vigilance is necessary to protect individual rights and freedoms.

The conversation, recorded on July 11, 2025, highlights Carpay's commitment to advocating for constitutional rights and his concerns about the implications of government actions during the pandemic.
