Federal government met the threshold to invoke Emergencies Act: Rouleau
Commissioner Paul Rouleau said today the federal government met the “very high” threshold needed to invoke the Emergencies Act last winter, citing “a failure in policing and federalism.”
So the person handpicked by the PM to look into the PM and his invoking of the Emergencies Act, naturally sided with his boss.
The law defines a national emergency as a situation that “cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada.” Further, a public order emergency can only be invoked when there is “a threat to the security of Canada” as defined by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act.
Yet there was never a threat to the security of Canada, only the image of PM Trudreau.
“Reasonable and informed people could reach a different conclusion than the one I have arrived at.”
And I think most did!
Responding to the report, Trudeau said it was a failure of systems that lead to his government’s decision.
“It was unfortunate, it was undesirable. We didn’t want to do it,” he said during a news conference Friday.
Trudeau wants nothing but NPCs, following his dictatorship. Not freedom loving people who demonstrated their right to protest peacefully.
It goes on to say everyone was responsible for this failure…. but Trudeau’s name is NOT among them.
Like most of the protested stated early on and during the protests, if the PM would have just talked with them, and laid out a plan to exit the pandemic, that was all they wanted. But NOT! Trudeau was above that… hiding in his cottage whenever he could.

That statement is a cop-out and all but an admission this whole thing was a farce.

Federal court rules Emergencies Act invocation ‘not justified’
Published Jan. 23, 2024
The federal government says it plans to appeal a ruling by the Federal Court stating that its use of the Emergencies Act to shut down the so-called Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa two years ago was “not justified.”
Of course they are. They cannot accept the international shame they got for allowing a lawful and peaceful protest when they invoking the Emergencies Act in the first place.
On Feb. 14, 2022, the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in its history, arguing at the time that the national security risks stemming from the protests justified its use.
The move allowed the federal government to enact wide-sweeping but temporary powers to help officials crack down on protesters’ access to funds, grant the RCMP jurisdiction to enforce local laws, designate critical infrastructure and services, and impose fines and imprisonment on participants who refused to leave the protest zone.
In a political move to crush Canadians who wanted Trudeau to give a concrete meters on when/how the lockdowns will be removed. Something the Trud REFUSED. (IMO he wanted Canadians to be locked down/lose jobs, while he could still travel and enjoy all the perks his job gave him).
So what did a judge (not a handpicked loyalist) had to say about the invoking of the Emergencies Act?
“I have concluded that the decision to issue the Proclamation does not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness – justification, transparency and intelligibility – and was not justified in relation to the relevant factual and legal constraints that were required to be taken into consideration,” stated Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley.
Go on…
Mosley added that “there can be only one reasonable interpretation” of the Emergencies Act and CSIS Act, and that he believes “the legal constraints on the discretion of the GIC to declare a public order emergency were not satisfied.”
And…
Mosley also stated that, factoring for the definition of a “national emergency” under the Act, “there was no national emergency” to justify its use, and that “the decision to do so was therefore unreasonable” and beyond the powers of the law.
Something we knew ALL ALONG! But the legacy media and the libtards denied.
University of Ottawa associate professor of criminology Michael Kempa told CTV News the Federal Court decision — unlike that of the Public Order Emergency Commission under Rouleau — is “legally binding.”
“Anywhere we go from here, this sets a legal precedent,” he said. “It does make the government vulnerable.”
As if the left really cares about what the “law” says. If it supports their agenda/narrative, then the law is ok, but if it does not, they ignore it. There was not “national emergence”, but since the peaceful protect went against the agenda/narrative then by default in their corruption, they had to crush it any way they could, lawful or not.
As someone said;
“They did not use the powers that were at their disposal to properly manage the freedom convoy protests, which started off completely legal, and ultimately did spiral into certain problems,” he said. “The difference is Rouleau says that that failure to act justified the federal government stepping in with the Emergencies Act, whereas the Federal Court now says failure to use powers that are on the books is not a reason to invoke the most extreme power in the country, which is the Emergencies Act.”
“certain problems”? Like not going along with the agenda/narrative?
And between the handpicked loyalists and the federal judge, the judgment from a court of law is “legally binding”.
FU Trudeau!
February 23, 2024 at 5:37 pm #313484Further Update:
A main organizer of the “Freedom Convoy” is suing the federal government for using the Emergencies Act to freeze his bank accounts, arguing it breached his Charter rights to protest COVID-19 mandates.
As should every person effected by the government’s use of the Emergencies Act.
“This disruption deprived [Barber and his wife] of the ability to conduct basic financial transactions and live normal lives, leading to severe inconvenience, hardship, embarrassment, exclusion from modern society, and damaged personal and business relationships,” says the claim, which also names his wife and trucking business as plaintiffs.
Which is exactly what the Turd wanted, as you embarrassed him on the international stage.
Barber’s lawsuit comes weeks after Federal Court Judge Richard Mosley ruled it was unreasonable for the federal government to use the Emergencies Act to quell the protests.
The judge said invocation of the act led to the infringement of constitutional rights. He specifically cited a federal failure to require that “some objective standard be satisfied” before bank accounts were frozen, concluding it breached the Charter prohibition against unreasonable search or seizure.
And he has the precedence of the judgment that the use of the “emergencies act” was not justified”.
It alleges the federal government froze bank accounts for the “improper purpose of dissuading and punishing” protesters for exercising fundamental Charter rights.
Exercising fundamental Charter rights! And what did the government do that was so heinous?
The statement of claim says all of Barber’s personal and business bank accounts were frozen the next day without notice. He couldn’t withdraw cash, deposit money or use credit cards, and automatic payments were blocked, it says.
…
Barber couldn’t access money for daily living expenses like food, fuel or medicine, says the lawsuit. He also “suffered and experienced fear and anxiety due to the anticipated loss of income,” because his salary, wage, and business revenue payments were going to the frozen accounts, it says.
That resulted in missed payments and defaults on loans and credit card bills, damaging his credit score, the document says. Barber is still being rejected for business funding applications and has been told his bank accounts will be “marred indefinitely,” says the lawsuit.
So if you do not follow the NPC programming, the leftoid government wanted to destroy your lives, livelihood, future.
Now it is only a matter of time when others will start to file similar lawsuits, and when they will become a class-action lawsuits.
Turd and his leftoids bastards what happens when they abuse their positions.
February 23, 2024 at 9:40 pm #313515The government has invested the government and found that the government committed no wrong doing.
Sounds legit.
