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].
