It's official: The Use Of The Emergency Act Was Illegal. The liberals violated human rights

[CdnFox]

Government loses appeal on Emergencies Act during Freedom Convoy | National Post

Yep, the liberals and the NDP who voted with them violated the human rights and protesters and other people such as those they seized the bank accounts of.

That makes them the greatest Violators of human rights of any Canadian government going back to when we locked up the Japanese.

And yet liberal supporters here will still support them blindly I won't even criticize them for what they did

I posted a thread on this the other day and just added to it, citing parts of the actual ruling.

Canadians should be grateful to the Convoy and the CCF for forcing the Liberal government to uphold the Charter and our rights.

But you are correct, Lib supporters here will refuse to realize how big of a bullet was dodged, they will not be grateful, they will not agree with the ruling that explicitly states the protest was peaceful, the reports of violence were fake and no one was trying to "overthrow the government".

They have been so married to those lies for the last few years, that not one of them will acknowledge that the Liberal government and the media LIED THEIR A$$ES OFF and they stupidly swallowed all the lies.

The problem with liberal supporters isn't that they believe lies or deceive themselves, the problem is that they emotionally invest their entire personality into the lie or the deception. 

Which means when you present them with evidence that their belief was false it's not a matter of changing their mind, you're almost having to change who they are as a person and that is obviously in order of magnitude more difficult.

To their dying day most of them will still think of the Convoy as the Canadian version of January 6th, where are democracy almost fell.

And the tragedy is that the jerk is gone and living life making tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars a year from paybacks for the Canadian taxpayer dollars he wasted and there will be absolutely no repercussions from this ruin. The liberals will not suffer an inch for the fact that they committed one of the greatest acts of injustice we've seen in many decades

Couldn't come up with another example huh?

Well there you go. Like most liberals you don't see how serious this is. You don't understand what a fundamental breach of freedoms we're talking about.

But sure, name another time federal Canadian government did something that was more of an egregious attack on rights according to the courts

It's hard to take you seriously, Pee1990.

You pop up on threads, sneer that the poster has got it all wrong and is nothing but a conspiracy theorist, and then disappear like a fart in the wind when asked specifics on what the poster is wrong about.

Reminder that it was Mark Carney who advised the government to invoke the Act and freeze bank accounts.

‘SEDITION IN OTTAWA’: Carney refuses to comment on his Freedom Convoy condemnation

 

This is what he thinks of Canadian citizens standing up for themselves against government tyranny and the paper the Charter is written on.

[Goddess]

Statement from E. Chipiuk (one of the lawyers who questioned Trudeau on the stand at the commission on invoking the Act):

The Court of Appeal has dismissed the appeal of Justice Mosley’s decision, confirming once again that invoking the Emergencies Act was unconstitutional.

That is a really big deal and the Court of Appeal was unequivocal: “We have already found that Cabinet, on the evidence that was before it and on a proper interpretation of the Act, did not have reasonable grounds to believe that a threat to national security existed.” On the evidence, as many of us said from the beginning, the legal threshold was never met. The federal government knew, or ought to have known, that this appeal was bound to fail. Yet it proceeded anyway, consuming years of time and significant public resources, while hoping the public would simply move on.

And it bears repeating: if anything truly went sideways in Ottawa, the primary failures were local. The City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Police Service grossly mismanaged the protest from the outset, creating conditions that escalated rather, and in doing so played directly into the federal government’s political narrative. For years, peaceful protesters were disparaged and slandered, portrayed as dangerous and treasonous. Many were beaten, arrested, and jailed.

And we should also be honest about this: what does this say about those who accepted the government’s narrative without question, who repeated claims that have now been judicially rejected, and who looked the other way while fellow citizens were vilified and punished?

Now the responsibility shifts to us. This confirms, once again, a profound democratic failure: extraordinary powers deployed unlawfully, Charter rights infringed, and citizens met with force instead of dialogue.

Accountability does not end with this judgment. It begins with it. If governments can misuse emergency powers, disparage their own citizens instead of engaging with them, and then attempt to run out the clock through prolonged litigation, democratic accountability survives only if the public actively enforces it.

Let’s not fall for this trap again.

Let’s stop before fear, propaganda, and politics are weaponized to turn Canadians against their neighbours, friends, and families—while those in power evade scrutiny and consequence.

We deserve better. But we must demand better.

Yet you can't say why. And you're making an assumption that we're not on other forums.

Sounds more like you're angry that you can't refute us and can't shut us up so you just yell "NUH UHHHH" and run away to  cry

Othewise you'd give examples and defend your position. 

[West]

Took them many years to come to the conclusion we did as it happened. 

Yet they ruined peoples lives over it. So I guess in a way they won by abusing and frightening people with the process. 

Who will be held accountable? Nobody most likely

Right back atcha.

The act is essentially a tool of last resort when threats to the security of the nation are significant.... it isn't intended to be used as an instrument of convenience; that's exactly what happened (and then some).

It would be a struggle but I might have found the capacity to forgive invoking the act had it been done in the absence of a punitive "and then some." That part of it was a big mistake ( meaning BIG MISTAKE). My only response to it is your own thoughtfully articulated words of wisdom:

"**** off dude."

Most grade 6 students with average reading comprehension and access to an unbiased assessment of the situation would have easily come to a conclusion that parallels that of the court... and apparently eludes you.

I agree it was overkill. They had the means to disperse those id!ots without it. I believe Justin was trying to emulate his dad and look strong.

[eyeball]

This is a good ruling following on the heels of the Public Order Emergency Commission in 2023 who said using the Emergency act was reasonable.

However, Commissioner Paul Rouleau at the time said the facts supporting his determination were not overwhelming and that other reasonable and informed people could come to a different conclusion.

It's good to know where we stand now. BTW have they withdrawn the tanks and sent them back to their depot?

So with that in mind why are you still supporting the liberals? The vast majority of liberals even today voted for this. They knew what they were doing was wrong let's not kid ourselves. Like you said I think he wanted to look tough like his Dad.

So how can this be tolerated? If this goes unpunished then what happens to the next conservative government if they decide to come down on a protest they don't like? Will you complain then when you didn't complain before?

Look at what's happening in the states and how many millions of times I have said to you that when the liberals were doing bad things in the states if you don't speak up then sooner or later the conservatives will do something you don't like and it's too late to convince anyone then. And then they got trump.

You don't think that can happen here? I assume you're not that naive. So how will you hold the government to account for what they did when they stole the human rights of people unlawfully and knowlingly?

All the Liberals who were in power then are in power now except him. They all supported this.

By what metric? Is it the good job they're doing at running up a massive debt? Is it the good job they're doing with the economy, where unemployment continues to rise and investment continues to flee while Canada gets poorer and poorer? Is it their complete failure to crack down on violence and disorder in the streets or on those groups harassing Jews? 

A good job at what, exactly?

As someone who was living in Ottawa at the time, the lack of law enforcement infuriated me. This all could have been handled quite easily had the Ottawa Police Service not been run by a completely incompetent DEI hire who had no idea what to do and so did nothing. Action only started after he was booted. The imbecile of a mayor who had him appointed didn't run for re-election. I believe everyone on the police services board was gone soon after, as well. 

Of course, it also would have helped if we'd had a conservative in power in Ontario. But instead we had and still have the ham-handed, ham-faced Doug Ford, who spent most of that time hiding under his desk.

Oh, you mean he followed Trudeau's example and let experts guide policy.

What really would have helped is if so many RWNJ's weren't losing their shit at the time. Recall how the US pulled the rug out from under the original purpose of the convoy, to protest Ottawa from forcing truckers to get vaccinated. It was always Washington but the anti-vaxxers took their Freakers Ball act on the road anyway. Sure, it's great that every Canadian jackass now has a greater right to do so.

A right wing conservative in the PMO during COVID would have been even worse. It would have very likely pandered to this pillar of support propping up the base. It would have been a disaster. Instead of just 2800 deaths estimated to have occurred due to misinformation it would have been closer to 28000.
