I am not a lawyer but it's good to know the laws and your rights.

He is legislating people without mode, means, or capability to drive are another class of person who are restricted to their rights of freedom of movement set out in the charter.

He is causing intentional risk and potential harm/suffering to people seeking liberty and livelihood.

He is saying the public streets are not yours.

If I can’t access a street as he says now, then my right to seek out and gain/maintain livelihood and to be able to move freely within Canada are unnecessarily denied.
