By now most people who are tuned in to these issues have heard lots about the recent Federal Court ruling that concluded that Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act (formerly the War Measures Act), which granted the government essentially unlimited powers to forcibly end the trucker rally in Ottawa, was unjustified.
This decision amounts to a hard beat-down of Trudeau and his minions who made this decision. And it is directly contradictory to the findings of an inquiry (perhaps not surprisingly headed by a court justice with close Liberal Party connections) that came to the opposite conclusion.
Many of us are wondering how could this decision be so in contrast to the findings of the inquiry. How was this conclusion reached? What does or might it mean to current legal actions? Does it open up the door to future legal actions? What are the odds that it will be overturned?
Aris Lavranos is both a practicing physician but also a lawyer, and was kind enough to walk us through this decision, and speak about what it might mean to those of us concerned about decreasing civil liberties and growing government power.
