Daniel Freitheit’s presentation explored the challenges and changes that emerged during and following the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly focusing on issues related to government mandates, freedoms, and professional regulations. He expressed concerns about the Canadian government’s increasing pressure on citizens to accept certain regulations and viewpoints, suggesting a shift toward enforcing compliance in regulated professions, such as law and medicine.
Freitheit shared anecdotes from his own career, describing how he transitioned from corporate law to advocacy for freedoms during COVID-19, following numerous calls from individuals facing termination or discrimination related to vaccination mandates. He highlighted issues within the legal and health systems, pointing to the pressures faced by professionals due to changing rules and expectations.
Key themes included the erosion of fundamental freedoms, such as association and expression, particularly during the pandemic. Freitheit criticized regulatory bodies like the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario for restricting doctors’ abilities to issue vaccine exemptions and speak out. He also denounced how virtual meetings have limited public participation and expression.
Freitheit emphasized the importance of continuing to speak out against these pressures, using whatever means are available, whether through social media, public speaking, or legal advocacy. He shared his belief that presence and protest, non-violent or symbolic, could create significant impact, drawing parallels to Tiananmen Square’s “Tank Man.”
He encouraged resilience and persistence in raising awareness about ongoing injustices, quoting advice from a fellow lawyer: “Never shut up.” The presentation concluded with a call for peaceful resistance and active engagement to protect individual freedoms and challenge oppressive structures.
