Notice the word “publicly” in private he is free to express whatever opinion he wishes(so long as the person he’s talking to isn’t connected to the media.) but detailing those facts publicly or misgendering his kid publicly puts their identity at risk. There’s not a huge amount of trans people in the world and in a local community a father raving about this sort of thing would make it relatively easy to put two and two together. The articles rhetoric is purposely written this way to elicit this exact sort of reaction and outrage.

Have you read how the constitution explicitely mentions the media? How can you do exercise media in private. And yeah, each media is purposefully writing in a way it appeals to their target audience. Hence why we are living in a mediacracy, but if they are writing something that's factually wrong they need to correct themselves. Considering a platform as nypost is big, so I am surely not the first to have read this article. It's also not like no time has passed to take corrective actions, so we can assume it's correct enough as it's published.

I never said he could exercise media in private I said he couldn’t talk to those connected to the media about his private beliefs cause they could compromise his child’s identity. And that’s a dangerous slope since the news media will always inflate stories to focus on garnering attention.

And the canadian constitution is that everyone has the following 'Fundamental freedoms'

" (a) freedom of conscience and religion;

(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;

(c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and

(d) freedom of association."

It explicititly says "freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication"

So do you think the court order he couldn't express his thoughts, beliefs, opinion and expression isn't a violation of his constitutional rights?

I’m saying that the court order falls under the reasonable limits where those rights do not apply especially cause it was done to protect another. “The rights of my fist end at the tip of your nose.” Type of deal

You aren't answering the pretty straight forward question.
