The French language is woven throughout the Canadian ethos. Historically, Québécois francophones are strongly opposed to swelling government oversight and speak out against it as a rule. Much like the voices NHPPA sees coming out of the West this year. Canada is flanked by some powerful opinions on personal freedoms. The Charter of Health Freedom petition has been available in French since 2009 acting as a symbol to resist Health Canada’s target of natural health products and practices. It is crucial that all Canadians engage in this movement in the language that is most accessible to them.
Currently, all Canadians are at risk of losing access to natural and traditional modalities as a direct result of Health Canada’s proposed Self-Care Framework. The Charter of Health Freedom is the only effective and permanent legal response against consistent government efforts to erode health freedom under the veil of “protection.”
