Because one's so-called unalienable rights end where another's begin.

You have a right to free speech, but to spout out hate messages will have you charged with hate crimes so fast you head can spin.

You have a right to dignity, but not at the expense of another's.

You have a right to worship as you please, insofar as you do not preach extremism.

Those are just examples. Also, something that I wish the Canadian public would realize is that it is impossible to have a completely free society that is completely secure. In order to have security, certain rights must be curtailed or stepped upon. Just as in order to have complete freedom, security measures must go by the board.

" 1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society."

It right in sec. 1 of our Charter (first line). This in itself shows the rights and freedoms are not absolute (only to such reasonable limits)

For example, you cannot use "Freedom of Association" as an excuse to be a part of a terrorist organization, or "Freedom of Speech" as a right to threaten to kill a person.

Your question is incomprehensible. What rights and freedoms and what charter?

You have the right to free speech but not the right to shout fire in a crowded theater when no fire exists.
