The Invocation of the Emergencies Measures Act was Unlawful, Ruled Justice Mosley.

The Federal Court of Canada, under Justice Mosley, ruled that the invocation of the Emergencies Act was ultra vires. It was deemed an abuse of power, discriminatory, unconstitutional, beyond legal authority, unlawful, and illegal.

https://theccf.ca/wp-content/uploads/EA-challenge-fed-court-reasons-FINAL.pdf

Finally, in some terrific news for our Canadian brethren, the Wall Street Journal ran a story yesterday headlined, “Canada’s Use of Emergency Powers to End Trucker Protests Was Unconstitutional, Judge Rules.”

In a stunning rebuke to the Prime Minister, Canadian justice Richard Mosley ruled illegal and unreasonable Trudeau’s February 2022 use of the “Emergencies Act” against the Canadian Truckers. Canadian officials vowed to appeal the ruling. (We’ll see.)

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association, one of the plaintiffs who challenged the Prime Minister’s use of emergency powers, argued the government unnecessarily shredded people’s constitutional rights for what was essentially a one-city policing issue in Ottawa, including bulldozing long-protected rights like, for example, freezing protestors’ bank accounts and seizing their other assets.

In his decision, Justice Mosley wrote that the Trudeau’s government use of the federal Emergencies Act “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.” The justice also concluded Trudeau’s use of emergency powers infringed on several constitutional provisions.

It seems everybody wants to come to the “emergency powers” party, but nobody wants to stay after and help clean up.

May God bless the Canadian Truckers, whose dramatic protest arguably turned the worldwide tide against mandates and against lockdowns through their heroic efforts and selfless sacrifices. This decision, although two years late, vindicated them and added fuel to a growing anti-Trudeau movement in Canada that is solidly reflected in polls. A post-Trudeau Canada might be hard to imagine, and almost impossible to handicap, but it now lies in view.

Keep on trucking!

“Ep. 68 Whatever happened to the truckers who dared to protest Justin Trudeau? Some of them are still in jail, years later. Trucker Gord Magill explains how darkness has descended on Canada.”

The most heinous of the charges leveled against two of the men freed this week have now been dropped, bringing into question once again the suspension of Canadian civil liberties, and reveals more clearly than ever that the Coutts Four have been political prisoners from the start, imprisoned on spurious grounds for daring to oppose the Trudeau Regime's COVID policies.

Given the political implications, lack of evidence, and outright campaign of silence around this case, one would think that investigative journalists would be all over it, asking hard questions about why a modern western nation state has political prisoners. It is long past time for the Canadian media to stop colluding with the government it's supposed to be covering critically. We need to be asking some hard questions about what happened with the Coutts Four: Were the charges laid against them politically motivated? Why did the Crown take so long to get this trial underway? Why did a judge deny them bail twice? Why were these men kept in solitary confinement?

American authorities have been punishing dissidents with the no-fly list for years; many have suggested that the no-fly list has been an effective means of pressuring dissident thought leaders to turn Federal informant or agent. Travel restrictions were also used as a pressure tactic in Canada, where Canadian citizens who refused the gene therapy injections were prohibited from boarding aircraft or boats; since the US border was closed to the unshot, medical dissidents were de facto prevented from leaving Canada entirely. Bank account freezes were used against the Canadian Freedom Convoy, and debanking has also been used in the United Kingdom, most infamously in the case of UKIP leader Nigel Farage, although he is far from the only case.

But for all of its algorithmic control, the Regime’s internal social control is looking precarious.

Take the Canadian Trucker Convoy. This was perhaps the most logistically impressive protest in history, organized across several thousand kilometres, in the middle of a freezing Canadian February. It brought an end to global hygiene tyranny, despite getting systematically removed from crowdfunding platforms, participants’ bank accounts being frozen, and the entire media apparatus screaming FASCIST NAZI RACIST TRANSPHOBES at full volume throughout. Sure, the Honkening was eventually shut down by storm troopers, but not before precipitating a leadership coup in Canada’s Conservative Party. In the aftermath, the Canadian government was forced to quietly relax essentially every mandate, and European countries followed suit (“Oh shit, if those mild-mannered Canadians are willing to do that, what are the French going to do?”) As Kulaksaid, the truckers won. They got everything they wanted.

On Valentine’s Day 2022, the federal cabinet triggered the Emergencies Act to smash the pan-Canadian trucker encampment in Ottawa. The freedom convoy was an honest call for liberty, reverberating now the in carbon tax protests.

The government’s heavy-handed reaction to the convoy laid grounds for a number of lawsuits. In one such case, Justice Richard G. Mosley of the Federal Court in Canadian Frontline Nurses v. Canada (Attorney General) found that the government acted unlawfully, at paragraph 255:

"For these reasons, I conclude that there was no national emergency justifying the invocation of the Emergencies Act and the decision to do so was therefore unreasonable and ultra vires."

Though the decision was imperfect - the judge deemed warrantless bank freezes merely “inconvenient” at paragraph 369 - it was nevertheless a direct hit from a legal iceberg. The Liberal Party has been in cold water since [1, 2, 3].

TEXT ON SCREEN: CANADA FREEDOM CONVOY [photo of a freight truck, and alongside the highway, a crowd of protestors waving Canadian flags]

JIMMY: So what is going on in Canada right now? Well, I'll tell you what's going on in Canada. One of the biggest freedom protests in recorded world history, 50,000 trucks along with over 1 million people are making their way to Ottawa, right now as we speak. So what's this all about?

So Canada has had some of the heaviest covid mandates in the world, right there along with Australia. Vaccination requirements are being made mandatory in all federally regulated workplaces. At the same time, the federal government in November, it barred all unvaccinated travelers over the age of 12 from boarding a plane or even a passenger train. The Premier of Quebec has even gone so far as to announce plans to fine residents who still remain unvaccinated within the province of Quebec.

So recently a vaccine mandate was issued for all cross-border truck drivers. All unvaccinated workers would be forced to a 2 week quarantine every time they cross the border.

Well, the truckers had decided enough is enough, and so they organized this huge anti-mandate protest.

Now Justin Trudeau was caught saying the other day that he's called the participants a small fringe minority. Well, this small fringe minority is a truck convoy that is said to be over 43 miles long and growing by the minute. They're expected to arrive in Ottawa sometime tomorrow where I guess the plan is to flood the city and shut everything down and only move their trucks once all the mandates are lifted.

Now coincidentally Trudeau has announced the other day that he was exposed to covid and therefore he has to take isolation precautions, so he's going to be going away for 5 days. Which is quite convenient, quite convenient for what's going on.

So now this would be the part of the video where I could say how you'd show your support for the truckers. And they had a Go Fund Me account but sadly, Go Fund Me has paused that account and its holding millions of dollars were donated to these truckers and what's going on. But sadly, in a very shady move have decided to put a hold on that account. So the best way to help support these truckers is by getting out the word, spreading around the story. Because this is actually, for as big an event as this is, it's getting very little mainstream coverage. And many people can kind of understand why.

Lastly, and I think I speak for many Americans, many people around the world, so all you truck drivers out there, thank you. The world is waking up and it's because of the courage of people like you.

So to all our Canadian brothers and sisters out there, we send you we send you nothing but love and we wish you all the best.

Mark Carney, The Liberal Party's CBDC Strategy.

The Cloak for Unintended Dystopian Chaos

Benjamin J. Dichter

My bank accounts and credit cards were frozen simply for holding opinions that differed from what the Canadian government bureaucracy deemed "unacceptable views," as Justin Trudeau described them. This is the extreme framework in which the fledgling Trudeau regime operates. Despite Justice Mosley's ruling, they have yet to face any financial or legal consequences.

The 'Switch and Replace' Strategy

We may, however, be on the verge of witnessing the same 'switch and replace' strategy used to quietly erase Joe Biden from the long-term memory of potential Democratic voters—an effort that could become the greatest act of misdirection since Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Robert Angier in The Prestige. Concerningly, the same team of strategic management consultants behind these strategies are deeply embedded in both the Liberal Party of Canada and the U.S. Democratic Party. This phenomenon is a natural byproduct of the globalized political consulting and strategic management industries, where playbooks are shared and tactics are applied across borders. ...

Now, I’m not saying Mark Carney is a bad person, but he is philosophically dangerous—very dangerous to those of us who, as objectivists, are concerned about increasing government encroachment and authoritarian technocratic control over our lives. Carney has held prominent positions at both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. He’s a Keynesian economist, the polar opposite of Javier Milei, who managed to balance Argentina's budget in just three months—a budget once deemed impossible to balance. Carney’s background and controversial relationships make him the perfect figure to push Canadians into endorsing Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)—something Canadians overwhelmingly oppose, according to the government’s own polling. While I’ve long maintained that a CBDC is highly unlikely, Carney could be the snake-oil salesman who convinces liberals to adopt it into their policy guide for a future Liberal leader, should he fail in his bid for public office. His Bank of Canada credentials give him a false sense of credibility, enabling him to usher in this potential doomsday scenario.

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: Yes, give it up for the Canadian trucker!

CROWD: [cheers, clapping]

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: Let's give it up for the US trucker!

CROWD: [cheers, clapping]

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: Listen! We are doing the Lord's work now. Right now I'm in DC, we are holding in Maryland, we are 60 miles north of Washington. I'm every day we look the Beltway. We have the government under pressure. They let me go for a day so I had to come here.

CROWD: [cheers, clapping]

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: Look, let me get straight to the point. Everything about this was a lie.

MAN'S VOICE: Yeah!

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: Everything about covid.

MAN'S VOICE: Yeah!

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: What our governments did to us was devastating. What the federal, provincial, city-level governments did was devastating. And I always say—

MALE VOICE: Lock them up!

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: We take them into our court room and we let them defend themselves. One by one. Tom!

CROWD: Yes! [cheers, clapping]

DR PAUL ALEXANDER: We're going to take Njoo, we're taking Howard Njoo into the court room. We're taking De Villa, we're taking Ford,[1] we're taking every one, one by one, and let them defend themselves, and if they cannot, if they costed lives, we lock them up!

CROWD: [cheers, clapping]

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: We lock them all up!

WOMAN'S VOICE: To the gallows!

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: Listen! We strip them! We strip them of all their money. We put them on the streets. Just like what they did Canadians for two years. They suffered our children. Children died across the world because of these lockdowns. So now we lock them up!

CROWD: [cheers, clapping]

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: We lock them all up one by one! Nobody, nobody should escape. None! And the world, the world deserves to give praise to the Canadian trucker. It is on the back of the Canadian trucker that we stand here today. And the United States is bubbling. United States will finish what the Canadian trucker did. Long live the Canadian trucker!

CROWD: [cheers, horns, clapping]

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: I have allegiance to two flags, the Canadian flag and the American flag. I love both countries. Canada is a unique country. I came to Canada 30 years ago, but Canada is not the country I came to 30 years ago. Something has happened here. And we have to change this country back. This fight, the trucker, you thought, you thought this was about the gut feeling and the common sense of the trucker when they went to Ottawa.[2] Yes, the trucker has 100% of the science on their side. It is the government that is wrong. Long live the Canadian trucker!

CROWD: [cheers, horns, clapping]

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: But this fight, this fight is about your freedoms. Your liberty. Your Charter of Rights and Freedoms[3] that the government stole. Freedom!

CROWD: Freedom!

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: Freedom!

CROWD: Freedom!

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: Freedom!

CROWD: Freedom!

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: Freedom!

CROWD: Freedom!

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: Freedom!

CROWD: Freedom!

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: Freedom!

CROWD: Freedom!

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: Freedom!

CROWD: Freedom!

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: And I will say it again—

MALE VOICE: Lock them up!

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: I come from a good governance society, this one. And we let everyone enter a court room, always. We need a proper defense. We're going to let them defend themselves. But they had no science on their side. We told them two years ago, we told them, don't lock this society down. I told them! Dr. McCullough told them. Dr. Risch. Dr. Malone. I worked with [inaudible] we begged them, do not lock the society down. Do not close schools on children. We had children 7 and 8 years old in America hung themselves, they couldn't take the anxiety and the depression. So we have to lock them up!

CROWD: [cheers, clapping]

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: We cannot let them go. We have to hold each one, each one, Doug Ford, anyone, Prime minister, all the way down. If you cannot, if we can show, you have to be careful how I'm saying it, if we can show that your actions costed lives and people died and children died, then we have to strip you of your money and put you in the jail!

CROWD: [cheers, clapping]

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: We have to do it. Long live Canada!

CROWD: [cheers, clapping]

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: And I will end with a story, short because rain is coming. On the back, on the flatbed of the lead truck in the United States right now[4] there is an American flag, it is flying. And right now we're going to put a decal for all the fallen the soldiers in United States and in Canada, all the fallen police, all the fallen military. We're going to put it up because that lead truck signifies all our military, all our veterans, all our police, all our firefighters in America and in Canada. And that flag, had you not seen it, I saw it, because I am with that convoy now. You know I was in Ottawa. Three weeks I stayed there on the floor with the trucker. The Canadian trucker was the most peaceful, loving, inviting person in the world. What Primer Minister Trudeau did to them was a crime!

CROWD: Yes!

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: He should have never done what they did. Never! These people were peaceful. Crime in Ottawa went down 90% So it was terrible, it was terrible what he did to trucker. And I will end. The flat-bed. I walked up to the flag in America and I looked at the flag and I could tell that that flag was overseas. I could tell that flag saw battle. It has blood on it! And when I found out the story, the owner of the flag gave to the trucker, the lead, Brian Brase and Mike Landis, listen, this is my husband, World War II. They brought him back in a casket. Draped his casket. But that was the last time I saw America fighting for freedom. And this is the first time since then. So I am giving you this flag and I want you to fly it on the back of that truck. It has tattered ends because as we convoy the wind is shredding it. But she tell us, I want two things. Two things for that flag. Get that fag into DC because the police locked it down. Well, last week I had an appointment with Senator Cruz and Senator Johnson in DC, so mission accomplished! One!

CROWD: [cheers]

DR. PAUL ALEXANDER: And then she said, she said one more thing. Keep the flag. Keep it and fly it across America. Let it represent American truckers and Canadian truckers. But bring it back to Texas. Bring it back to me, even if it's in pieces. Bring it back so I can put it to rest. So long live America!
