Blacklock’s- Bans On Protestors Unlawful
The anti-mandate demonstrations were “plain vanilla outdoor protests” that posed no threat, said Justice Lauwers. “There is no claim they were not peaceful or were disruptive or violent,” he wrote.
Nor was there evidence protests posed any health risk, said the Court. “How much, practically speaking, did the ban on peaceful assembly mitigate the risk of Covid-19 spread?” asked Justice Lauwers. “There is no evidence as to the increase in risk that would have been posed by an exemption for outdoor peaceful assembly.”
So 5 years after the fact the protests are ruled legal. But the protests were still treated as illegal at the time were they not?
Tamara guilty. This country’s a joke. Here’s what I expect, on her appeal they’ll rule this opinion is moot because it came after her guilty verdict.
Or they could rule that the guilty verdict itself will be vacated, since the mischief charge stemmed from the very activity that the appeals court just affirmed was totally legal.
Whatever happens to Tamara’s phony guilty verdict, this ruling is a positive development. At the very least, it provides solid ammunition for an appeal.
You are correct. Justice Lauwer’s ruling provides a strong basis for vacating the convictions on both Lich and Barber.
And so it must!
that should open the door for a large lawsuit by Tamara and others
What, a Canadian court issued a correct ruling that accords with the Charter for once? You’ll need to pick me up off the floor.
Don’t worry, the Supreme Court of Librano will overrule this in record time.
Nope. In Canada, like Britain, the legal test for an appeal is the need to show that the Justice made an Error in Law. This is a very difficult test to pass. The Supreme Court of Canada will NOT simply overturn this ruling in a wave-through. This is even less likely because the ruling Justice Lauwers made a Finding of Fact in rendering his verdict.
And all this is making the assumption that the Supreme Court will even entertain an appeal. Very, very often, the SC refuses to hear an appeal to overturn a judgment. This is particularly the case if a Justice has made a Finding of Fact.
unfortunately you are probably right, the Supreme Court is as corrupt as the liberal party
And was it not Mr. Carney’s claim that the Freedom Convoy participants were guilty of sedition? He may have been the brains behind freezing bank accounts.
Yes he did and I expect that if elected that Carney has retribution in store via prosecution for the thousands of peaceful protestors and their supporters.
And the end result will be what? Just another free pass?
Being cynical, is this maybe just a way to make Pally Swine protests legal? After all, it’s unlikely any future protests will involve conservative white folks.
If anyone was really paying any attention to anything, this was the only time ‘conservative white folks’ protested in my lifetime. If I’m wrong please educate me on all the conservative’s protests over the last half century.
And the PM declared ‘martial law’.
I haven’t noticed where anyone has acted as if they are illegal. No horse stomping, chickenshit scumbag corrupt mountie head cracking, or bank account freezing going on.
Look at that just in time should polievre win the election.
Pretty hard to make any other ruling..As we had all our Dear Leaders out enmass, kneeling for Burn Loot Murder..During a pandemic.
In this same time frame.
Apparently righteous posturing renders one immune to contagion..
According to the twits of Public Health.
Honestly no punishment could be too extreme for our dearly beloved “helpers”.
For they really thought they were doing good.
And insist so to this day.
There is no way to be safe from entitled fools and bandits.
Short of exile.
We have no rights or freedom from mob excess.
For when the herd panics…
“Its an emergency”!
Whoa, I said zero chance yesterday.
Note to self: Double check the issue before opinionating. Thought is was about lockdowns, not the banned protests.
Good news and thanks Mr. Hillier!
That should mean that those Ottawa folks who want to sue the Truckers and their supporters for damages due to the disruption should be in a position to pound sand.
And counter sued for harassment or malice. Make that woman from china pay court costs at least.
So any estimates on how many years the government funded media,will keep using the phrase “Illegal Protests” ?
Ask the j6ers
Justice delayed is justice denied. The process is the punishment.
Doug Ford hardest hit.
