Ah, the is/ought gap. In your vision of Canada, as soon as someone is accused of committing a crime their rights go out the window or are at least subjugated to those of the rest of the population. In reality, however, it takes a little more to limit someone's rights even in the face of criminal accusations and especially when we're talking about liberty rights.
