WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
The Foundation for the Defense of the Rights and Freedoms of the People is a non-profit organization which was created on May 7, 2020 and whose mission is to maintain the freedoms acquired as well as to protect the fundamental rights of the people. By various means, the FDDLP is committed to providing helpful resources, quality content and promoting a collective awakening with the intention of mobilizing the population on current issues.
THE GOAL
Missions

- Ensure that the acquired rights and fundamental freedoms of the people are protected against unreasonable and unjustifiable measures by the Canadian state, its provinces and its municipalities;
- Collect donations from the general public in order to finance the professional mandates entrusted in particular to lawyers and / or experts, the mobilization activities necessary for the awakening of the community, the constant updating of the website and the symbolic salaries paid to the passionate leaders who are devoting themselves to the cause;
- Challenge before the courts the validity of legislative instruments which authorize the State and its agents, to infringe the rights and freedoms of individuals, as well as the measures deemed inflated and illegitimate within democratic societies such as Quebec and Canada;
- Assist, support and collaborate with the many movements in Canada or elsewhere in the world which espouse the vision of the Foundation and which respect the principles of democracy as well as the rule of law;
- Be a leader in collective awakening and citizen mobilization.
