What Canadians Don't Know About Their Rights With Jane Scharf

from Activate & Illuminate with Melanie Wakelin · host Melanie Wakelin

Summary In this conversation, Melanie Wakelin interviews Jane Scharf, a legal advocate and civic engineer from Ottawa, who discusses the current state of rights in Canada, the importance of common law, and the need for citizens to take action against government overreach. Jane shares her experiences in legal battles, the challenges faced in the legal system, and the significance of public awareness and education in reclaiming rights. She emphasizes the power of community and grassroots movements, particularly through her initiative, the Share Club, which aims to empower individuals to advocate for their rights and hold the government accountable.   Takeaways   Jane Scharf is a seasoned legal advocate focused on restoring lawful government in Canada. There is significant foreign interference and electoral fraud affecting Canadian governance. Citizens must take action to defend their rights, with different contributions based on individual circumstances. The current legal system is designed to empower institutions rather than individuals. Common law and the Bill of Rights are crucial for protecting citizens' rights in Canada. Education about rights has been systematically removed from the education system. Public outcry is a powerful tool for accountability and change. Digital laws and censorship are growing concerns that need to be addressed. The Share Club initiative aims to mobilize citizens to share information and advocate for their rights. Restoration of rights is preferred over revolution, as a balanced democracy is essential.
