Loading ...Trudeau’s Orwellian Attack On Canadian Truckers Declared Unconstitutional
Canada’s Federal Court ruled on Tuesday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of the Emergencies Act in 2022 to punish protesting truckers was both unreasonable and unconstitutional.
“I have concluded that the decision to issue the Proclamation does not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness — justification, transparency and intelligibility — and was not justified in relation to the relevant factual and legal constraints that were required to be taken into consideration,” wrote Justice Richard G. Mosley in his ruling.
The decision follows an application for judicial review requested by the Canadian Constitution Foundation, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, and various other applicants who cried foul over the use of emergency measures to quell Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa, which allowed the government to freeze the bank accounts of protesters, conscript tow truck drivers, and arrest people for participating in assemblies deemed illegal by Trudeau’s government.
Trudeau’s regulations had violated Charter rights – particularly against freedom of thought, opinion and expression. The Emergencies Act order was also found to infringe on the right to security against unreasonable search and seizure.

This legal ruling may well boost support for citizen protests agains’t the globalist agenda being forced upon the world INCLUDING the massive farming & trucker demonstrations underway now across Europe…
Toothless decision without automatic consequences for anyone who stood behind it.
Immediate disqualification from public office, for one.
That’s as much for the next turd as this one.
Precisely, Pedro. Toothless decision. Why did it take so long to declare something so obvious??? And nothing will change, nothing will happen. Cops and military will continue to do whatever they are told, and with great enthusiasm and glee.
Perhaps that will be the end result but (imo) this specific lawsuit was filed strictly to determine if the law was legal or illegal.
The lawsuit specifically addressed ONLY the “office of the Attorney General” and “the office of Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness” so the judge(s) would not have had leeway to hand out consequences to anyone in particular as none were included in same.
Now that these “offices” have been found guilty, it may be possible that the “next step” is to sue the individuals running those offices for corruption, incompetence or treason? Need a lawyer to chime in here………..
We’ve watched this unfold for 3 years — legal manoeuvring takes time (and money) — the government knows this as evidenced by the trick they pulled re: the unvaxxed non-flying mandates by withdrawing them immediately before the Peckford trial was to begin. Thus no ruling could be obtained to prevent this from happening again in the future. (Peckford is now appealing the dismissal of his lawsuit).
I perceive that todays decision was a MASSIVE victory for citizens. It should open up the floodgates for further litigation agains’t the government for their illegal acts and provide a huge morale boost to those fighting for rights & freedom!
It also provides hope that the legal system in Canada has not been fully compromised as seems to be the case in legal rulings throughout the USA & EU!
There is no victory until people are in jail and severly punished (beyond just sitting in jail cell, IMHO) for what they did to free men and women. The hanging tree should be born again.
I was just about to post similiar thoughts. Shouldn’t there be consequences for any govt. leader taking actions that are unconstitutional? If it resulted in immediate removal from office and lifetime ineligibility it would cause leaders to weigh seriously their actions. If someone in authority honestly felt they were doing the greater good, so be it. If the courts then determined after the fact, their actions were unconstitutional, they would be removed.
To limit damages, there must be a way to IMMEDIATELY challenge a decision on constitutional grounds. Such that any such policy/rule/law/action is held in abeyance [injunction] if a court finds reason to believe petitioner may prevail.
And if a court DENIES a petition for an injunction at some preliminary stage, but the courts later find in favor of petitioner, then THAT JUDGE gets the same treatment. Gone.
Agree with both ideas…….
Bully to the truckers – do we need a repeat performance from the truckers? Bully for the protestors in Europe – amazing outpouring of resistance (who knew??)
But SOMETHING has to take place that is perceived by our enemies that their rule is over. I don’t see any indication of that coming on the horizon.
I am surprised that no one has created a listing of those employed by TPTB in the implementation of this coup d’etait for globalist ideologies.
Seems to me that one of their advantages is anonymity — simply pointing out to citizens who exactly is “hands on” orchestrating our downfall might wake some up.
Often Canadians point to involvement in the WEF as the problem (ie: Trudeau, Singh, Carney, Freeland) but they are just the visible echelon – worker bees should be publicly acknowledged for their contributions also……
Note: Noticed that Carney was recently removed from WEF Board of Trustees — perhaps to scrub his CV prior to imminent coronation as head of the Liberal Party when Trudeau gets promoted into a UN role of some sort. IMO all of them deserve to be removed from Canada for destroying a once great country — they can hold hands & sing songs together in Schwab’s basement …..
NOTE #2: Do a “google” of WEF Leadership and Governance — Freelands name is prominently listed first.
