Court has ruled Emergencies Act during Trucker convoy was unconstitutional

[Mr.Gr33k]

well now we are getting philosophical and all that. Like fear and greed rule everyone to one degree or another. So does fear of change…

me, I’d much rather different governments every 4 years. Make them actually earn 2nd terms…The last 20 years ( about a generation) the abuses, scandals, waste, polarization, have grown worse. Was a time parties got punted for breaking campaign promises. Today they aren’t worth the paper they are printed on..Many are likely too young to remember those days. They got punted for 600k ( Mulroney) and 6 million ( Chrétien). Now people don’t even blink at those numbers….never mind worse.

Our laws are a reflection of societies morals. Many have lost them and or, are instead so deeply entrenched on either the R or L, they just don’t care…”better the devil you know”. That’s called enabling anywhere/anytime else.

My philosophy if you wish to call it that is very simple and is at the core of democracy. We elect our leader, but they MUST serve us, the people. If they do not, there must be accountability. Plain and simple. Doesn't matter who is in the driver's seat.

Perhaps EU protests make for a better example. Farmers can't sustain the Green agenda, higher energy prices, higher fuel prices and subsidies being taken away. They tried reasoning with their governments to no avail. If farmers go belly up, it means less food on the shelves, but it won't affect dumb politicians. It will affect ordinary citizens and that is why over 80% of Europeans population support these protests and inconveniences it causes because most understand what's at stake.

In Canada, however, we eat up all the nonsense and bullshit propaganda in MSM, and population is against such protests. Very sad actually.

yep it is sad.
re farmers/taxation. One of the reasons Rome fell. And as with let them eat cake, tea parties and more. History will repeat itself. Sucks when the peons outnumber you 8 to 2

Admit it, you'd throw a fit if JT started freezing bank accounts of Pro palestinian protest organizers...the point is Police could've had those trucks towed, ticket the drivers and charge them the cost of towing....freezing bank accounts are bullshit...you know it...just won't admit it.

If it were foreigners funding those domestic protests I'd support freezing those bank accounts.
Doesn't matter if its convoy funders, Palestinian funders or Israeli groups, foreigners shouldn't be funding protests here.

Should the government freeze bank accounts of organizers exercising rallies? Like the protests in downtown now?

If Doug Ford had managed the situation competently the Feds would never have needed to be involved.

It was Peter Sloly's jurisdiction. He's the one who initially mismanaged it.
And then Trudeau fucked up when he got involved and invoked the Emergencies Act

 

[roddermac]

Appeal will go nowhere.

Care to make a bet??

I'll bet you it will be another waste of tax payer money just like everything the Liberal have done under Trudeau and any other Liberal government in Onatrio

 

[roddermac]

This guy has no backbone. If Justin asked to sleep with his wife, he'd allow it.

His supporters are weaker and dumber than he is. I'm surprised he and his party still have a fan base. P.S. You're assuming Justin likes women.

 

[roddermac]

Absolutely not because the protests downtown now are protesting another government far far away not our own. That's how we do things in this country. Fuck over our own people and let outsiders do whatever they want.

 

[johnyboy]

1,000% it was the right call invoking the emergency act. They allowed them f****** idiots to protest more than enough and when they were told to leave they started talking tough thinking oh wow we got control now and they got exactly what they deserved. I personally loved every minute of it watching them greasy lowlifes run for cover like rats!

I do not support the Palestinian protestors but you cannot compare the two protests. One was an occupier of a city the other protests and goes home. It is a big difference.

Those Palestinian protests are almost daily and have been ongoing since October. The fact that they go home at the end of the day and come back the next day in a new location I don't find is a big difference. They're just spreading the frustration around.
As far as I'm concerned, if you're blocking a roadway and impeding traffic as your protest, you should be removed from said roadway. Whether you're there for 30 minutes, 3 hours or 3 weeks. But your removal should be done under regular authority.

I agree that the city and the province dropped the ball. But the federal government went nuclear with the Emergencies Act, which was a gross overreach.

The Palestinians are being kept off bridges and the neighborhoods containing a big Jewish community. They were thrown out of the Eaton Center as they should be and are being somewhat controlled. They are not camping out, blowing horns, and having bouncy castles in the streets. It's completely different but I do agree, that the protests should not block roadways and interfere with folks just trying to get through the day. I don't care who the protesters are, if it is as the twats did in Ottawa and the Bridge, they deserve everything thrown at them and more, oh how I wish it was more.

Trudeau was going to throw Lametti under the bus, but ...

Former justice minister David Lametti resigning as Liberal MP to join law firm

His last day will Feb. 1, according to a government source.

Actually, if the court's decision stands, I wish they had seized my bank accounts cause I'd be getting a multi-million dollar payday.
Latest estimate are in the range of $1-5 million per victim.
Trudeau seized 206 bank accounts, so do the math, it'll be between $200 million and $1.03 billion.

Nice going, TruDOPE

There’s considerable grey there Phil. Per the article in Canadianlawyermag I posted.

Statute of limitations has run out.

At a guess, an appeal might come, once that’s figured out. Anything else.

Thats wrong. Bank accounts werent frozen until Feb 19, 2022:

Canada convoy protest - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

By February 19, at least 76 bank accounts linked to the protests totalling CA$3.2 million were frozen under the Emergencies Act.[80] Most accounts had been unfrozen by February 23.[

Statute of limitations is 2 years from date of loss. So they have almost a whole month to file
