From the official Discover Canada study guide — 1.1.2 The Fundamental Freedoms:
Four basic freedoms belong to people in Canada. The first is freedom of conscience and religion: you choose your own faith, or no faith at all. The second is freedom of thought, belief and opinion, together with the freedom to express what you think. That one includes free speech and a free press. The third is freedom of peaceful assembly, so people may gather together as long as they stay peaceful. The fourth is freedom of association, so people may join with others in groups they choose.
