So ... is anyone gonna go to jail, or nah?
If you recall, in 2022, a convoy of Canadian truckers blocked traffic in Ottawa to protest the ongoing Covid mandates of the totalitarian Canadian government: Mandates that were crushing their homes, families, and finances.
The Canadian government, led by former PM Justin Trudeau, responded with force, declaring the assembly dangerous. Here were a few of the "terrorizing" scenes from the truckers that probably scared Trudeau senseless.
Faced with cheerful singing and inflatable bouncy houses, Trudeau had no choice.
He invoked emergency powers to freeze the bank accounts of the truckers, ensuring they couldn't pay their bills or feed their families.
In 2024, a federal court ruled that Trudeau had violated the constitutional rights of Canadians in invoking said powers.
In other words, he had absolutely no authority to financially destroy thousands of peaceful Canadians.
On Friday, an appeals court upheld the ruling.
From the National Post:
In the 178-page decision released by the Federal Court of Appeal on Friday, Chief Justice de Montigny said he was dismissing all the appeals against the lower court's decision.
'We are therefore of the view (like the Federal Court) that, on the basis of the record, Cabinet could not reasonably come to the conclusion that existing provincial capacity and authority could not effectively address the situation,' wrote de Montigny.
Faced with the reality that it seriously harmed its countrymen with no legal or moral basis, the government said it was "assessing next steps."
'The government remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of Canadians in the face of threats to public safety and national security,' said Simon Lafortune, deputy director of communications and press secretary for Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree.
Translation: "We aren't sorry and we'll do it again, nah nah nah nah boo boo."
What's the point of courts if there are zero penalties for high crimes and conspiracies?
