A) Section 7: 2) Liberty b) Natural Liberty

Natural liberty is the right which nature gives to all mankind of disposing of their persons and property after a manner they judge most consistent with their happiness, on condition of their acting within the limits of the law of nature and so not to interfere with an equal exercise of the same rights by other men. - Bouvier's Law Dictionary (1914) Rawle's 3rd revision 1984


A) Section 7: 2) Liberty c) Political Liberty

Political liberty is an effectual share in the making and administration of laws. - Lieber, Civ. Lib. - Bouvier's Law Dictionary (1914) Rawle's 3rd revision 1984

'Liberty' does not include freedom of conscience and religion, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, freedom of association, the right to vote and be a candidate for election, or the right to travel. These rights are all gauranteed elsewhere in the Charter of Rights and should be excluded from s.7. - Peter W. Hogg, Constitutional Law of Canada, Carswell, 1997 p. 44-9


A) Section 7: 2) Liberty d) Economic Liberty

I have already ruled at the beginning of this case that as a matter of law s.7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms dows not create a right, barring medical necessity, perhaps, for a person to use marijuana. There is certainly no legal basis to grant Mr. Malmo-Levine a personal exemption under s. 24 to traffic in it. - Justice Curtis, H. M.Q. v. Malmo-Levine Oral Reasons for Sentence, March 20, 1998, p. 4
