Book excerpt: "Among the fundamental freedoms guaranteed by section 2 of the Charter, only a few have been paid significant attention. The others—freedom of conscience, thought, belief, opinion, the press, other media of communication, peaceful assembly, and association—have been largely forgotten to date. What do these freedoms protect? Why are they “fundamental” to a liberal democracy, and how might they be realized? And what do we still need to learn about the meaning of freedom generally?These questions and more are examined throughout this collection of essays, breaking new ground for human rights discourse in Canada and beyond and exploring the rich potential of the Charter’s “forgotten freedoms”. A recurring theme throughout is that these freedoms must not simply be “remembered”. If Canada is to be the free and democratic society contemplated by the Charter, these freedoms must also live and breathe within our constitutional practice."--
