The Trucker Protest was "No Threat To National Security."

By Benjamin J. Dichter at The Daily Bell

The Federal Court of Appeal has determined that the Liberal government improperly and illegally invoked the Emergencies Act (Canada’s equivalent to martial law) to disperse the convoy demonstrations in downtown Ottawa in February 2022.

This ruling, issued on Friday, rejected the federal government’s challenge to a 2024 lower court judgment that declared former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the act unjustified and a violation of demonstrators’ rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The three-judge panel emphasized that, despite the inconvenience and disruption caused by the protests, these events did not rise to the level of a genuine threat to national security. The judges stated that cabinet lacked sufficient reasonable grounds to conclude such a threat existed, thereby failing to meet the strict statutory requirements for invoking the legislation.

“There was no evidence that the lives, health or safety of the people living in Ottawa were endangered (as annoying, stressful and concerning as the protests were),” the decision noted.

What now? What is the Remedy?

The question now is what the legal remedy is for those of us who were targeted by the Canadian government? Those of us who had our bank accounts frozen, our businesses destroyed, our lives ruined? What is the legal remedy? What punishment should Trudeau and the members of his government be subjected to?
