Superior Court Justice Edward Morgan

Superior Court Justice Edward Morgan: All three have lived in Canada for years and are eligible for citizenship, but argue they should not have to swear allegiance to the Queen as they oppose the monarchy on moral and religious grounds, according to The Star. Superior Court Justice Edward Morgan agreed the oath is compelled speech which infringes on the right to free expression. But he ruled that violation a reasonable limit which is justifiable in a democratic society, and thus constitutional and A push by three prospective Canadian citizens to strike down the portion of the citizenship oath which swears allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II was dismissed Friday by an Ontario court. The Charter guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of conscience, and the oath is a form of forced political speech, said Dror Bar-Natan, who has lived in the country for 11 years.
