Recently, while covering a pro-freedom conference in Victoria called Reclaiming Canada, I caught up with Brian Peckford, who is the perfect person to weigh in on that question. Peckford is the former premier of Newfoundland and the last living premier to have signed the Charter of Rights over 40 years ago.
