I need to address this though as I believe you don't quite understand what you are reading. The passage you are quoting is your right to have anything that was used against you to convict you of a crime that was gotten through unlawful or illegal methods by the authorities thrown out and to give you the chance to appeal your conviction. You are against the idea of being able to appeal a conviction.
In simpler terms, it means the law can't use evidence against you if it is deemed to be gotten through unlawful or illegal means. Trust me, that section is a good thing.

For immediate release
OTTAWA - Today, the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, federal Minister of Health, is pleased to announce that the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA), has received Royal Assent, and is now Canadian law. "I am delighted our Government's Consumer Product Safety Act is now the law of the land," said Minister Aglukkaq. "This will give the Harper Government important new tools to deliver stronger, more effective protection for Canadian consumers and their families." The new CCPSA will better protect the health and safety of Canadians by: prohibiting the manufacture, importation, advertisement or sale of any consumer products that pose an unreasonable danger to human health or safety; requiring industry to report when they know about a serious incident, or death, related to their product to provide government with timely information about important product safety issues; requiring manufacturers or importers to provide test/study results on products when asked; allowing Health Canada to recall dangerous consumer products; and raising fines and penalties for non-compliance.

No worries.
Believe me, you should be angry and concerned that this bill has passed but don't misdirect your anger towards something that is meant to help us as citizens.

Mate, I was talking about the section of the charter that gives the right to challenge the evidence collected against us to make sure it was done legally and above board, not this bill.
As Canadians, we SHOULD be pissed that this passed.

I know, eh? Bullsh*t indeed!
I'm still trying to figure out how this can be overturned. The only thing I can think of at the moment is for our elected officials to challenge this new law and bring it to a vote in the senate. We need to write and communicate with our municipal,, provincial and federal reps about our displeasure with the tyranny of the monarch.
