As I said above, the pandemic has highlighted for me that some people have a grave misunderstanding of what rights they have and how our rights in this country work, as evidenced by this post. Of course rights have responsibilities/conditions. I literally teach junior high and high school in Alberta and the idea of rights and responsibilities is in the Grade 9 curriculum. This isn't some new concept. It's literally how a liberal democracy works and has always worked.
Regardless, the pandemic showed that many people do not know the difference between what is and is not a right. Almost everything I witnessed people complain about during Covid were not rights.
