Farmers Forum- TRUCKERS WERE RIGHT: Freedom Convoy protest was legal, judge says, and Ottawa is now being sued
MONTREAL — The Canadian government trampled on fundamental human rights with its COVID restrictions, then overreached on dealing with the Freedom Convoy and must now answer to numerous lawsuits, including one by a former premier, says a well-respected constitutional lawyer.

If this is an accurate article, the bleating in the Otter-wa city council will sound like a lamb birthing shed.
I hope this extends to the police for behaving like the ZOMO…
UCS
You mean those imports who acted as if they were pohleece, at the discretion of the POLITICIANS , those police?????????
Those imports were police. They were just regular cops imported form all over the country. As soon as the leash was off they all went full ZOMO. Jackbooted thugs one and all and you’re their resident fellator.
Nope.
Those green suited goons were DEFINITELY NOT from the West…not one stitch of their uniforms was Western style police/military garb…from their boots to their helmets.
Imported UN Goons. 100%.
You’re delusional. All were cops from various federal, provincial and city forces. The green ones were IIRC Quebec provincial. WTF would anyone import UN goons when there is plenty at home?
This green?

Yeah, just pay ’em overtime, and voila, jack booted thugs for hire.
We saw that with Harpers G20 get together in Toronto. Bill Blair was Police Chief at the time, he thought it was a hoot.
Human rights?
You have no rights unless you are able to enforce them. If you are not willing to enforce them, you deserve no rights.
What the truckers lacked was the courage to do that.
What they had to do—all they had to do—was push the Libranos aside by force, because the Libranos were not going to cede power peacefully.
Why didn’t they?
Why didn’t you show up and push somebody aside then?Sounds like you know how it’s done.Or keyboard warrior?
If you don’t beat your enemy into the ground your enemy will beat you into the ground.
You can always tell the CSIS/RCMP plant because they’re the one screaming REVOLUTIOOOOONNN!!!! in the comments section.
That you, Lucy?
Normally yes, but not this one, this one is genuinely demented. During the freedom protest he could not wait for “Ottawa’s finest” to help truckers topple Potato. When the cops assaulted protesters he claimed they were non police provocateurs. Then he switched to salivating for Pootin to conquer all of Europe (anytime now) and nuking all of North America. So psychosis is strong with this one.
This is click-bait. The article is just talking to one of the lawyers bringing the cases. There are no substantive legal victories in there, just a couple of things that might be considered favourable but in context may amount to nothing. And even if someone miraculously won at the trial court, you have our glorious Supreme Court to slap it down because truckers are icky or some such profound reasoning.
Well, you have a point. this is click bait. I’ve already seen this story when was posted over a month ago, and even commented on it back then on another forum. What is not being mentioned is that Keith Wilson, the constitutional lawyer that is toted as “well respected” (he may very well be, that isn’t the issue), is also the same lawyer that represented the freedom convoy when it was here in Ottawa. Something worth noting because Mr. Wilson’s opinions, as legitimate as they are, are not exactly grounded on objectivity. He has an interest here to continue protecting the convoy.
The fact that this story has been around for more than a month, and Mr. Wilson’s views known around these parts for a lot longer than that, doesn’t exactly make this post headline news.

Purity call from a gay basher, try cleaning up yer own act first!
Prove that I’m a “gay basher,” and if you can’t, then STFU!
And for the last time, STAY ON TOPIC!!!
You’re pretty good throwing around the slander, but let’s see if there’s even a smidgeon of intellect in that pea-brain of yours.
C’mon… I know you have it in you! Let’s see you use it for once instead of spreading hate and name-calling.
MORON!
What about this, from the article,
“…in fact, an Ontario superior court judge sided with the convoy …”
that is more than just an opinion from one lawyer.
Again, very old news. That decision was rendered before the EA. A lot of good that did.
Hope Peckford’s lawsuit is successful & the borders are opened. Then watch the great exodus.
So, when will this happen?
3 to 5 years, and then the inevitable appeals
As one might suspect.
Actually, the hope is that Mr. Peckford’s case will be heard by a federal court before September, but even if it does, what I’m hearing from one of the justices does not lead me to be optimistic. It’s almost certain this case will go to the SCOC, but when it does, I have no faith that they will do the right thing here.
Thee is always a risk in court of not winning. The fact of the matter though, is that the government’s ‘out’ clause in S1, does have limitations. That is the point I believe that Peckford is truly arguing, after seeing him personally speak in public, and on other long detailed vids where he fully explains his strategy. He LOVES to talk, good ol Newfie.
While the courts may very well decide that the government, at the peak of Covid, may have been legitimate to discriminate (I don’t agree), fast forward to this spring, and the border/travel ban is violating my rights, and every other person in my position. It is clear, that the jabbed are an equal of higher risk of transmitting disease, since the jabs have failed.
At this point, Blackie and his cult are violating the Charter, clearly, and proud of it.
Tyrant. Dictator. Oppressor. Clear and present danger to the country. He serves another master, Klaus.
Even his horsefaced sister, Jacinda, has completely opened NZ’s borders, one of the worst Nazis of all.
Two points will make it difficult for the SCOC to uphold the current travel ban on the unvaccinated.
1- the scientific consensus is that after 6 months, the people who had 2 doses of vaccines have no greater protection from covid than the unvaccinated
2- the unvaccinated can prove they aren’t infected with covid with a simple test…just like the rest off the world is doing.

Less than 5 months after 2nd shot, and I got SARS 2(aka covid 19)
Several friends, less the two months after the booster caught Covid and were reasonably ill.
I haven’t done a complete count but it seems like everyone I know, except 2, got all the shots *and* a covid infection. In my unvaccinated family, only one confirmed case of covid and she had only a few sniffles for about 3 days and a sore throat.
My unvaccinated husband was required, out of our own pocket or get fired, to test weekly at a Saskatchewan Segregation Party approved covid testing clinic for months and he never tested positive.

“…Tyrant. Dictator. Oppressor. Clear and present danger to the country. He serves another master, Klaus..” (And I would add that the rest of the Canadian Body Politic, Mayors on up fits that entire description as well)
Besides….Who actually Spoke up..? Hmm.?
Sloan – Hillier – Max & a cpl pastors.
I doubt that, as well.
We shall see.
Even if the truckers win a few lawsuits, the politico’s wont care. They can just print up some more money to pay them off, and continue to destroy the citizen’s livelihoods.
I want to know if the PMO ordered CBC to produce the lies that were used to justify the Emergency Act.
Were fraudulent stories about the Freedom funding produced by some of the ex-journalists in the PMO and then delivered to the CBC to run?
Or did the PMO just order them to produce some lies that included the funding angle?
How did the CBC examine the funding and come up with their ‘incorrect’ results?
What evidence did they examine, and what evidence did they find that supported the lies about the funding coming from outside of the country?
How do you get something that simple 180 degrees wrong?
It’s not by accident.
easy answer take the head of CBC news and those close to him before a federal court and put him under oath to disclose his instructions and the names of who gave them, to him.
Unfortunately, once the lawsuit hits an actual court, Trudeau’s judicial toadies will ensure that there is no justice.
The rot is deep in Canada. What people need to understand is that honourable conduct has been completely discarded by our governing class. They know damn well what they are doing is illegal and unconstitutional but they don’t care because there are no consequences. Their mode of governance is to do whatever they want, regardless of legality or ethics or morality. Years later a court or inquiry will confirm it was illegal but the damage is already done and the politicians responsible always get away without any meaningful repercussions. Canada’s checks and balances to prevent abuse of power are as big a joke as its Constitution and Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Canada’s parliamentary model has been described as a “Benevolent Dictatorship” but Trudeau’s government has dropped any remaining illusions of benevolence.
I can’t argue with that. I’m in total agreement with what you said. Our country’s governance has been totally corrupted, and the corruption runs deep. Very deep. Think of our governing institutions as being roughly in the same state of decay as 24 Sussex, which is a rather apropos metaphor if there ever was one.
LC
Zero argument from me on that entire Comment.
Bang on.
I would also add said ROT has been spread throughout the EU & the commonwealth……Covid unveiled that in 4k.
There are Powerful forces at work…Trudeau and company fully involved. And they want YOU: Compliant & Docile….or Dead.

So what’s the punishment for that? Is that a $200 or $300 fine?
Don’t forget the slap on the wrist and the “you lucky dog, you got away with it” wink from the judge.
You’re joking, right? A fine? That’s a hoot and a hinny!
Court cases, appearing before Judges appointed by PM Socks.
Not expecting any substantive victories.
There was a mini-convoy outside my home.
Snoopy happy dance here!
Sounds about like 10.5 mil each. After all he basically called them terrorists and that is the precedent. Of course he said this is what you must do when the government fails to protect a Canadians rights. A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian is also what I believe he said.
“…The attorney general’s reason for freezing bank accounts was based on an affidavit by a police officer who based his testimony on what he read in the news, Wilson said, adding that courts don’t rely on third-party hearsay. “
……… “We ran into this problem of circularity all the time, of media saying something, police then saying, well the news is saying it, then the media saying, well the police said it.”
It is how the left , both in Canada and the USA, has been operating for decades.
The media has been a criminal accomplice for decades.
It is also how in the USA they got FISA warrants to spy on Trump.
The main stream media are criminals and are why it is so easy for leftists to break the law without consequences.
It’s called , the Circle Jerk.
Don’t forget to sue the police as well. They should have known better. Plus the police need a purging of its more violence prone members.
While this is not exactly news, the original interview referenced in the article is worth a look. Wilson is articulate, credible and extremely well informed.

What name will the new variant be called to fix the midterms for the Demoncrats who’s other side of the same coin is the Republicans?
I think that horse has already escaped the corral.
In justifying his declaration of a National Emergency,due to those people with “Unacceptable points of view”,Emperor Justine ,the Petulant..told us all.
That this,declaration of yet another state of emergency,”would not effect our charter rights at all.”.
And the boy blunder was right
Under that “Canadian Charter of Rights and freedoms” imposed on us by his “Daddy”,we have no rights nor freedoms..
Our God Given Rights and Freedoms enshired in British Common Law,The Magna Carta and centuries of warfare,were replaced with Privileges at the whim of Government Minions.
This was what we got for just ignoring these mouthbreeding twits and insisting on our right to be left alone..
Well now you know.
Property of the State.
To be medicated at the States Command.
Permitted to protest only via State Sanctioned Circus.
And for your own good,as property,the State will now make all decisions on your behalf..
This is Justine’s Canada.
I say a pox on Justine and more especially a purge on all who enabled this idiot.
As our Progressive Comrades now use “Collective Guilt” to justify their stomping of individual rights,so we may use their own rules.
Canada is done for,indebted beyond all salvage and cursed with idiocy beyond all reason..
We have no future and no hope of ever being left alone.
For that sin alone retribution is calling.
When people become so stupid,so as to believe they have the right and duty to tell others how to live their lives,they have become public enemy number one.
So who is responsible for the failure of Canada?
Who shall we scapegoat and rip to pieces?
See..Becoming a “Progressive” is just that easy.
Go Long, WoodChippers.
This earlier Farmers Forum article [13 April] by the same lawyer includes the injunction granted against the honkers by the judge and not incidentally shows the the lawyer is heavily interpreting the statement.

Meet Keith Wilson
https://twitter.com/ikwilson/status/1489732129105850368
Some skepticism in the comments.
Justin Trudeau, Jim Watson and Steve Bell should all be arrested and put on trial
Hangings first. Trial second.
I’d have more respect for Keith Wilson if he stopped referring to Trudeau as an authoritarian petulant child prime minster and called him a bloody stool bowel movement instead.
While I respect Mr. Wilson I have no respect for Peckford who is just another sleazy politician who helped Peeair the lunatic impose his nasty Soviet Charter.
Peckfords case will never be heard and if it is it won’t be heard for Months and perhaps years and then it will be appealed by the corrupt Turdhole/NDP lawyers.
If the Liberal stacked Courts do hear any of these cases including Peckfords they will side with the Turdhole/NDP Dicktatorship.
Maybe people still haven’t noticed, but this country is corrupt at every level of Governance, including the Judiciary which is a primary dumping ground for Turdhole Party bagmen and woman with a law degree.
The Law Society is one of the most corrupt organizations in the country, hopelessly corrupt.
The Turdhole Charter does not protect people from the State, it never was intended to protect peoples “rights and freedoms”, this is obvious.
The Turdhole/NDP culture of corruption will prevail against these freedom fighters and the corrupt Courts will make sure of it.
Count on it.
You can study history or you can trust your government.
You can’t do both.
And as the study of classical history has decreased, reliance on govt has increased. And as reliance as govt has increased, well I’ll leave it to wiser than I to answer
What does suing the government accomplish? A better solution would be to fire/remove from office those who condoned the Emergency Measures Act to be used against the protest and to have them stricken from their golden pensions. Politicians that overstep their authority should have no office in a country that claims to be democratic. Overstepping authority is tantamount to dictatorship. The next step in the LIB/DIP alliance is the removal of free and open dialogue and then they will confiscate your firearms, all done of course in the name of the “general public good”. Think it won’t happen here, look at history, we’re halfway there already, they have already vilified a goodly percent of the population because we refused to succumb to the injection, that was where NAZI Germany started!
