Emergencies Act Ruled Unconstitutional Ahead of Freedom Convoy Tribute

Days ahead of a local Freedom Convoy tribute ride, the Federal Court of Canada has ruled that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoking the Emergencies Act was not just unreasonable but also unconstitutional.

While this is something many Canadians recognized in 2022 as the tyranny unfolded, an official ruling this week from the nation’s uppermost echelon of law reinforces the notion with validity.

As part of the Emergencies Act—invoked to counter Canadian patriots who opposed lockdowns and Covid-19 shot mandates—PM Trudeau’s overreaching measures included freezing taxpayers’ bank accounts, conscripting tow truck drivers, and arresting people for participating in protests.

It turns out that while the protests were legal, Trudeau’s reaction to them was not.

The ruling concluded that existing laws in place were sufficient to manage the situation, which was deemed not threatening enough to warrant use of the Emergencies Act—a powerful weapon of government that Justice Richard Mosley emphasized must be used only a last-resort when all other efforts to control a scenario have failed.
