BREAKING! Canadian government’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act was unreasonable – Federal Judge

Posted on by

The Federal Court has declared that the various things Trudeau did during the Freedom convoy under the emergency measures act were Ultra Vires.

This site posted the following video a half dozen times during these measures, because we had declared them to be so at the time based on this:

The Globe and Mail:

Invoking Emergencies Act wasn’t justified and infringed on Charter rights, Federal Court rules

The federal government was not justified when it invoked the Emergencies Act and issued a public order emergency proclamation in response to convoy protests that gridlocked Ottawa and some border crossings two years ago, the Federal Court ruled Tuesday in a decision that will test Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government.

The emergency proclamation “was not justified in relation to the relevant factual and legal constraints that were required to be taken into consideration,” Justice Richard Mosley wrote in his decision.

“The decision to issue the Proclamation was unreasonable and led to infringement of Charter rights not justified under section 1,” the Justice wrote.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association filed an application for a judicial review against the government’s use of the Emergencies Act, as did several other groups and individuals.

“The Federal Court found that the decision to declare the Emergencies Act was ultra vires and unreasonable and that the measures violated the Charter,” the Canadian Civil Liberties Association’s lawyer Ewa Krajewska said in a brief statement on social media.

There are many hundreds of people who had their accounts frozen using the EMA. They should all now launch suits, but frankly, the suits mean nothing beyond well deserved recompense to the people harmed. Like small business owners who contributed $50.00 to the Freedom Convoy and had all their accounts frozen. But government paying out money to people harmed by govt. helps those harmed in a single way, but does NOTHING to punish the people who knowingly committed a MASSIVE crime. Christia Freeland and Justin Trudeau must be sued personally. Then criminal charges must be persued. This was not a matter of interpretation. This was malice and brutal abuse of state power which really did destroy democracy. And not in the socialist sense that Trudeau uses the word.

  2. And the traitorous smirking, Deputy Prime Minister/ World Economic Forum clown, Chrystia Freeland has already announced the government will appeal the ruling. Holy shit, she doesn’t seem to it, she is supposedly working for us. She should be forced, along with Justine to step down.

    • Chrystia is worse than Justin.
      An ultra-short ‘hippy’ female given ultimate power, trust me, nothing good comes out of that.

      • She’s got her fans in UkraNaziStan.
        (Which is just a fringe element that’s damaged the country beyond repair.)

  3. Regardless of this legal finding, the majority of Canadians approved of the use of the controversal Emergencies Act to shut down the so-called Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa. Just sayin’.

  4. “Sixty-four percent agreed with the statement that “Canada’s democracy is being threatened by a group of protesters and they must be stopped immediately.” Sixty-four percent also supported using the Canadian military in a support role to tow protesters’ trucks.”

    Just sayin’.

    • In Quebec, back in time and according to a poll cited by the Premier’s office, 82% of Quebecers agreed to a ‘significant tax’ for the unvaxxed.
      Forget the link, I’m not going back there.

  6. Your Federal Court – can we borrow some of that integrity here in the USA? Like before, during, and after the elections in November?
