Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley has ruled that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s invocation and use of the Emergencies Act two years ago to shut down the Freedom Convoy protests “was not justified.” In fact, the court found that the invocation “violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.”
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, who infamously froze bank accounts of protesters at that time, announced that the Liberal government plans to appeal the Federal Court’s decision. But according to University of Ottawa associate professor of criminology Michael Kempa, “the Federal Court decision — unlike that of the Public Order Emergency Commission under Rouleau — is ‘legally binding’ and it makes the government ‘vulnerable.’”
Trudeau’s crony during the protests and following them, New Democrat Party leader Leader Jagmeet Singh, is now distancing himself from the prime minister. Singh, “who supported Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act, was asked Tuesday if he regrets backing the government. Singh said his party’s was always reluctant in its support.” Singh is now backpedaling in a vain effort to regain his own autonomy (and face) after shamelessly binding himself to Trudeau in a pact that ensured that Canada would be stuck with Trudeau until 2025.
Canada’s official opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre, tweeted:
BREAKING: Judge rules Trudeau broke the highest law in the land with the Emergencies Act.
He caused the crisis by dividing people. Then he violated Charter rights to illegally suppress citizens. As PM, I will unite our country for freedom.

Justice Richard Mosley’s ruling undermines the credibility of Justice Paul Rouleau, the commissioner whom Trudeau appointed in 2022, in a fox-guarding-the-henhouse scenario, to oversee the Public Order Emergency Commission, which conducted an inquiry into Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act. Rouleau concluded that the threshold for invoking the Act was met, even though during the inquiry, it emerged that Trudeau lied about police requesting that he invoke the Act. It was revealed that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) warned the Trudeau government that the threshold had not been met to invoke the Emergency Measures Act, but Trudeau went ahead and invoked it anyway.
Despite all, according to the Globe and Mail:
Justice Rouleau found that there was “credible and compelling information” to support a reasonable belief that the protests posed a threat to the security of Canada. The information available to cabinet when it made the decision to invoke the act included evidence of the presence of ideologically motivated extremists at the protests, threats against public officials and fear of a “lone wolf” attack.
The erroneous finding was not surprising given that Rouleau was a longtime supporter of the Liberal Party, and even a member of the Liberal party. He worked for the Liberals and was appointed to the bench by a previous Liberal prime minister, Paul Martin. He was, obviously, hardly neutral. Nor did he seem concerned by Trudeau’s crackdown on the unvaccinated, or by government overreach and the Trudeau cabinet’s casual discussion about “crushing the Freedom Convoy with tanks.” Despite the large number of trucks and the blaring of truck horns, it was a peaceful protest, unlike the current widespread, pro-Hamas and pro-Houthi protests, which threaten Jews, disrupt traffic, menace people in shopping malls, and spread hatred.
Solidarity with the Freedom Convoy protests extended far beyond Canada’s borders. Trudeau faced a tongue-lashing in the European Parliament for acting like a dictator. The Freedom Convoy served as an wake-up call to the elitist abuse of power and trampling of constitutional freedoms.
At a packed Ultimate Fighting Championship match last Saturday night in Toronto, the crowds erupted into chants of “f*** Trudeau” — a chant that became widespread during the Freedom Convoy protests. In 2022, even while Trudeau was inside the official residence of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the “faraway chants of ‘f— Trudeau’” could still be heard during his photo-op with Johnson.
Justice Mosley’s ruling will be sure to cause more complications for the Liberal Government, which is now nose-diving in the polls.
The chickenshit tyrant stole/froze the funds of patriots who did the MOST PEACEFUL PROTEST in history!
He and and his cabinet fools should be . . . well . . . shown the door to perdition.
(The man is a pathetic coward. He at first, ran & went into hiding)
The “Charter of rights and freedoms” can be waived for darn near any reason the government sees fit. This will be going nowhere. It is a useless piece of paper as is the whole so called constitution.
Trudeau’s hair-trigger-like rages against ordinary peaceful Canadians and his over-reactions, and misconceptions have appalled citizens, who wonder at the reasoning powers of their leader…yet despite this, under the anonymity of crowds the truth shouts out that he is likely the most hated leader ever in Canada. But with the faithful convenient support of the other leftist party, the NDP, and the divisive power of the radical parti Quebecois, Canadians likely will never be able to outvote these radicals and get the Conservative government they deserve and need…
“Trudeau’s hair-trigger-like rages against ordinary peaceful Canadians and his over-reactions, and misconceptions have appalled citizens, who wonder at the reasoning powers of their leader…”
Amazing that someone fathered by Castro would act like a dictator./psycho /brat.
So the courts waited two years after the prissy prime minister got his way, to make the judgement?
Were where the courts when their countrymen taxpayers needed them?
I keep hearing this talked about as if its a win for the few good people left in Canada. I dont see it that way.
Yeah, I see that prissy missy with his manscera and think WTF? Does maple syrup and Canadian bacon cause brain disease?
It’s a start. It depends if it’s just being used as a veil or it has teeth. It was not a good look and the ruling is embarrassing for them and effective because it will shape popular opinion.. It also indicates that people are willing to stand up and do the right thing. It puts a governor on their behavior the next time and some will publicly and in a veiled manner distance themselves, making it foolish for truedope to grab more power..
Plus I do think that it gives the people a way to redress the attack against them in court.
Ask yourself what Justin Trudeau would be doing today if his father was anyone but Pierre-Elliot.
Was his father Pierre-Eliot?
You mean “putative father,” don’t you? I think there is good reason to believe that Fidel Castro was his actual father.
I think Fidel was his mother.
I have a friend from BC. She is now a US citizen. Her comments were his is father is the only reason sonny got elected. The people are equally disgusted with both. So how did the son get elected? It seems the farther west the fewer people voted for him.
This is just getting better Trudeau the Schmoe just got a slap down by the Courts Biden is also getting the same over his appliance rules
Being an American, I am happy to hear this: however, what will the legal consequences be for Trudeau? Without consequences, anyone in the future can get away with this.
The act used to remove canadian freedom can be invoked at any time by any government.
My thoughts exactly. Like here in the US, Biden ignores the law without consequences. It seems the laws in Canada and the US have gone toothless. These are tyrannical traits the stupid public refuses to recognize at their own peril.
Trudeau like Wil-E-Coyote with huge chuck of a top of aa cliff with giant Cannon falling on him and he uses teeny tiny Umbrella
