Since the Canadian government can freeze anyone's bank account that they don't like and seize money that anyone raised privately and can do it without any pushback, I conclude that the Charter of Rights isn't worth the banana it was printed on.

Oh it's worth the paper its printed on, it proves none of their laws apply to private individuals and any law inconsistent with it is null and void. S. 32 and 52. Just don't use the charter as a defense calling them your rights because then they think we are gov agents or something, as that is how it appears when invoked. The charter is a UK document schedule B to the canada act.
We need more people to understand the laws and constitution are there to govern them, not us and hold them accountable for malfeasance, non feasance, criminal code violations and misfeasance in office in the higher courts to remedy. Stealing aka freezing accounts is blatant abuse of power and theft would be an easy case to draft withou a liar.
The purpose of section 32 is to make it clear that the Charter only applies to governments, and not to private individuals, businesses, or other organizations.
