Abstract

This chapter recounts the numerous battles fought over religious freedom in Canada, focusing particularly on the major role played by the Jehovah's Witnesses in a series of court cases that helped establish such rights in Canada. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, adopted in 1982, is in no small part a result of efforts by the Witnesses to defend themselves using the relatively autonomous judicial system in Canada.
