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.

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.

Just in the nick of time

Cool.

But what are the consequences for the government, and benefits for the parties?

In my quick perusal of the final section of the PDF of the ruling, the judge doesn't seem to rule in favor of any specific relief, and only minimal repayment of legal costs.

So is this just a moral victory? Plus perhaps a precedent to help prevent it from happening again in the future?

That will teach him not to do that anymore.

He certainly wouldn’t want them to yell stop, again. They might not do it with a smile next time.

I hope they skin that bastard.

Cool now undo Castreau’s handgun freeze and I might start thinking canada is something other than a woke authoritarian hell hole.

Too little, too late.

As long as the Liberals and New Dems can get enough seats from the urban areas, there's no getting rid of Justinian.

So sad to see Canada turn into a political shit hole, but then I guess I can say the same for Michigan. Sigh! Oh, and to the judge that handed down this ruling, THANKS FOR NOTHING!

Nothing is going to happen to Justine Castro. No one in Canadian politics had the balls to take him on.

"almost" a hatred?

He was being polite. I'm not Canadian and I despise Fidel's illegitimate son.

Oh well, back to your regularly scheduled gulag program.

Trudeau’s former justice minister resigns from Parliament days after Emergencies Act ruling

https://www.lifesitenews.com/n...-27&utm_medium=email

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s former justice minister David Lametti has announced he is leaving politics just two days after a court ruled that the Trudeau government was “not justified” in invoking the Emergency Act (EA) against the 2022 Freedom Convoy.

On January 25, Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) and former justice minister David Lametti announced his resignation from Parliament to join a law firm just days after Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley ruled that the enactment of the EA to end the 2022 Freedom Convoy violated Charter rights.

“The last six months have been very difficult,” Lametti told Radio-Canada.

“It is therefore with a certain sadness that I leave a dream position,” Lametti wrote in a letter to his constituents. “I have continued to do my best to fulfill my duties as an MP. It’s been a difficult time on a personal level.”

Lametti was justice minister since 2019 and worked to enforce the EA which was enacted to shut down the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest that flooded Ottawa during the peak of COVID-related mandates. The popular protest featured tens of thousands of Canadians calling for an end to the mandates by camping outside Parliament Hill.

Measures taken under the EA included freezing the bank accounts of Canadians who donated to the protest, an action now deemed unjustified by the court.   


OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s former justice minister David Lametti has announced he is leaving politics just two days after a court ruled that the Trudeau government was “not justified” in invoking the Emergency Act (EA) against the 2022 Freedom Convoy.

On January 25, Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) and former justice minister David Lametti announced his resignation from Parliament to join a law firm just days after Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley ruled that the enactment of the EA to end the 2022 Freedom Convoy violated Charter rights.

“The last six months have been very difficult,” Lametti told Radio-Canada.

“It is therefore with a certain sadness that I leave a dream position,” Lametti wrote in a letter to his constituents. “I have continued to do my best to fulfill my duties as an MP. It’s been a difficult time on a personal level.”

Lametti was justice minister since 2019 and worked to enforce the EA which was enacted to shut down the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest that flooded Ottawa during the peak of COVID-related mandates. The popular protest featured tens of thousands of Canadians calling for an end to the mandates by camping outside Parliament Hill.

Measures taken under the EA included freezing the bank accounts of Canadians who donated to the protest, an action now deemed unjustified by the court.   


During his time in office Lametti helped pass several bills, including pushing for increased euthanasia under Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program and banning so-called “conversion therapy” for gender-confused individuals.

Trudeau had removed Lametti from his position as justice minister during a massive cabinet shakeup in July of 2023. During this turnover, Trudeau removed seven people, including some un-popular COVID-era ministers, from their posts.

Following this, Lametti continued to serve as MP for LaSalle, Émard, Verdun regions in Quebec. He will officially resign from his position on January 31.

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre responded to Lemetti’s resignation, saying, “Trudeau’s former Justice Minister RESIGNS. He leaves behind him a record of Charter violations, censoring free speech, illegal use of the Emergencies Act & crime policies that have unleashed waves of violence.”

“More proof Trudeau is not worth the cost and crime,” he concluded.

Lametti’s resignation is not the first piece of drama to flow from the Liberal Party since the Emergencies Act ruling.

Earlier this week, Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) Ken McDonald seemed to call for a review of Trudeau’s leadership, before quickly backtracking the next day.

Gutless bastard. He wasn’t smart enough at the time to know he was doing the wrong thing

If he didn’t know right from wrong why was he even an MP

Politicians have to be the second most dumbest collection of people on the planet, the dumbest being the people that vote for stupid people
