A Federal Court has ruled the Trudeau government's use of the Emergencies Act unreasonable and unconstitutional.

Trudeau weaponized his government with unconstitutional power to freeze the bank accounts of his political opponents.

That is unacceptable. A government that violates the Charter rights of Canadians is dangerous.

Jagmeet Singh supported Trudeau's abuse of power. Singh and Trudeau should both resign now.

A Federal Court judge ruled Tuesday that the Liberal government unconstitutionally and unjustifiably invoked the Emergencies Act in response to ongoing Freedom Convoy blockades in early 2022.

So what does that mean for the government?

Are there any legal consequences to Mosley's decision?
Lots! But likely not in the immediate.

The immediate political impact is far greater for Justin Trudeau and his government, says Université Laval constitutional law professor Patrick Taillon.

"On a political and symbolic level, the impact is enormous. This changes the equation in the lead up to the next federal election," he said.

"On a partisan level, this is far more advantageous for (Conservative leader) Pierre Poilievre than for Justin Trudeau. The fact that a court, with all of its authority, says that it reflected, wrote a 190 page ruling and found that the Trudeau government illegally violated the Charter will have a lot of weight. It will put the government on the defensive."

The main legal consequence is that the ruling now sets a clearer — and possibly higher — bar for future governments to invoke the Act, according to experts.

What about people affected by Emergency Act measures, can they sue or something?
Quite possibly! But if so, they'll have to do it fast.

West, Taillon and Baron agreed that the ruling could offer some opportunity to individuals impacted by the powers of the Act (like those who had their bank accounts frozen during the Convoy protests) to launch a civil lawsuit against authorities.

But they'll have to overcome a number of significant hurdles, the most significant likely being Ontario's two-year statute of limitations for most civil cases. If their bank accounts were frozen in February 2022 and it's now late January 2024...

"Nobody knows for sure what the implications are going to be," Baron said. "It certainly can't hurt that you now have a judicial precedent and a judicial declaration that the government acted unlawfully. That would be something like circumstantial evidence of negligent behavior that could ground a civil claim."

"But I would be lying if I said anybody knows for sure," she added.

They will just pretend it is no big deal.  They need to be in prison.

The main consequence for Trudeau is further erosion of his low approval ratings. As for Jagmeet Singh, I hope voters remember he supported the draconian measures in the Emergencies Act as much as Trudeau himself.

The big probem is, they do what they do and get what they want without consequences. Is he going to prison? Nope. Same with our gubmints. They pass things like a gun registration that makes me a felon, knowing it will get overturned. In the end, nothing happens to them. Revolution and executions are the only answer.

His party won't even force a leadership review over it.

There are no words


NDP MP Daniel Blaikie today in Ethics committee argues against a motion for the govt/PMO to submit documents on Trudeau's Jamaica trip. Says that it's already evident that PMO is doing a bad job, so no need to reveal internal documents as it could undermine confidence in PMO.

As of Jan. 21, poll aggregator 338 Canada projects the Conservatives would win 198 seats, the Liberals 81, the NDP 25, the Bloc 32, the Greens two and the PPC zero. In other words, a sea of blue.

Justine is considering a 'rebrand' of the carbon tax as Canadians are 'confused.'

Canadians aint confused. I think they understand the liberal carbon tax punishes them for their lifestyles while having a minimal impact on reducing emissions.
The carbon tax doesn't need it a rebrand. It needs to be scrapped.

Keep up the good work of wrecking Canada Justine.

Justine says he's pissed off about the layoffs and Bell Media, well I'm pissed off at Justin Trudeau – and everyone who cares about Canadian media should be as well.

While Justine likes to say he values journalists and media companies, he's enacted many policies that continue to harm the industry.

As former Labour Minister Lisa Raitt has pointed out, job cuts of this magnitude would require a company like Bell to give 16 weeks notice unless it received a waiver from the government. Bell briefed the government ahead of time and that the company had been blunt with government for some time about problems they were facing.

The ham-fisted approach to C-18 saw Facebook leave the news industry in Canada, the only place the company has done so. This hurts all media companies but especially the younger news media companies that relied on Facebook and Instagram to spread their content.

Canada's Auditor General revealed that the wasteful ArriveCan app, which originally was estimated to cost $80,000, exploded to at least $60 MILLION.

Millions of taxpayer dollars were wasted by Trudeau government officials who rigged the contracting process for their friends.

This is corruption at the highest level.

The ArriveScam app was a massive failure. Canadians didn't want it, didn't need it and it didn't even work.

It caused thousands of travellers to be locked up, quarantined, and harassed for no reason.

The Liberals voted against an investigation and the NDP tried to help them cover it up.

We still do not know how bad this story is. But we do know that Liberal insiders got rich and millions in taxpayer dollars were wasted on making a useless app that nobody asked for.

Trudeau's Environment Minister, Steven Guilbeault said he doesn't want to finance anymore road construction. His government brings in 1.5 million people a year destroying health care and education and now he wants to make sure we do not have enough roads to get all the people around that they let in.

[Brent]

Trudeau's radical carbon tax minister doesn't understand that most Canadians can't live like Chrystia Freeland in downtown Toronto with a taxpayer-funded chauffeur.

Canadians need to be able to drive to work. They need to get their kids to school. They need to drive to get groceries.

Canadians, especially in rural areas, depend on roads to travel through life. We need roads.

Trudeau should be lynched. But then again, Cucknadians voted for the cawksuckers that make up his power base!
