Court Finds Justin Trudeau’s Use of Counter-Terrorism Law Against Freedom Convoy Unconstitutional

A Canadian Federal Court Judge found Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s use of a counter-terrorism law to shut down the Freedom Convoy trucker protests against vaccine mandates and other lockdown measures in 2022 unconstitutional.

Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley ruled that the use of the Emergencies Act by the Liberal government of Justin Trudeau to shut down a series of trucker-led protests in February of 2022 was “unreasonable”, CBC reports.

The ruling came in response to a legal case brought forward by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the Canadian Constitution Foundation, and other individuals who argued that the protests did not meet the legal threshold for the government to use the powers granted under the act, which had never been used and was originally intended as a means of combatting terrorists.


I don't really know what this means for Canada, but I hope it allows any truckers who were harmed by the govmint in any way to be made whole.
 
Hopefully it will be the impetusfor the people of Canada to ensure they vote the Liberals completely out of power in the next federal election. But who knows? Canadians are often their own worst enemies politically. The one thing this ruling might do is to make it a LOT harder for the federal government to ever take away Canadians' freedoms again in the future.
 
On X (was Twitter) there was lots of celebrating going on over this, plus advise that damaged truckers need to file lawsuits.

Who knows? Maybe God will stomp on oppressive governments once again before the church is raptured??
