Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

[Ron in Regina]

Irony. One of the few things that wasn’t pretty much completely on side with the protesters….Was that businesses (some businesses) in Ottawa had to shut down, so there was some financial hardship, but who shut the businesses down??

Which restaurants and coffee shops and donut shops were fighting to try and be open, and where getting shut down by people on horses with guns and badges (?) if I remember correctly. Irony…

Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland said the Trudeau government — which froze the bank accounts of people it said were linked to the Freedom Convoy protesters after invoking the Emergencies Act — respectfully disagreed with Justice Mosley’s ruling and will appeal it.

But really, what else could the government say, given that so much of its political credibility was tied to declaring the Emergencies Act?

Tuesday’s federal court ruling that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act in February 2022 to end the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa was unconstitutional, is its third major courtroom defeat in recent months.

Justice Richard Mosley, a recognized expert on national security and anti-terrorism issues, ruled the government’s decision, did “not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness — justification, transparency and intelligibility — and was not justified …”

“I conclude that there was no national emergency justifying the invocation of the Emergencies Act and the decision to do so was therefore unreasonable and ultra vires (beyond the government’s authority to act).”

The only ones getting run down by people on horseback with guns and badges were little old ladies in wheelchairs.

Walker, not Wheelchair, at least before the horse thing.

Yep, when I think of all those dozens of old ladies getting run down, it just breaks my heart.

Well if she hadn't walked into the horse as it was coming in her direction - and knew it was - then she wouldn't have fallen over.

And no, I saw the video, ALL the video, from the different angles. Had the horse actually on purpose hit her, I'd be siding against the cops for excessive use of their animal.

But she walked INTO the path of the horse.

You do that, you should expect to be pushed/shoved/shouldered aside. And since she was using a walker, she obviously has issues walking/standing, so falling was an extra risk for her.

No sympathy.

From behind, while walking away from the horses. Oh well, that’ll learn her.

No sympathy.

“This case was not about the constitutionality of the (Emergencies Act) but, rather, how it was applied in this instance,” said the judge.

It means there should have been no horse trampling or mass arrests. The people caught in this had their Charter rights violated.

At least the accusations of throwing a bicycle and her walker under the horses are gone.

Perhaps the most striking thing about the court decision authored by Justice Richard Mosley is how straightforward much of the reasoning is. There is no tortured logic, no obscure line of argument, no abstract reasoning; the principles at stake are easily digestible by lawyers and non-lawyers alike. Justice Mosley does exactly what most Canadians probably expect courts to do: consider evidence; read what the law says; and draw conclusions that, for lack of a better phrase, reflect common sense.

Nor was the ruling only damning to the government’s flimsy arguments. It was also an implicit rebuke to Justice Paul Rouleau, the head of the Public Order Emergency Commission, who made the unnecessary and ill-advised choice in his final report to muse about the legality of the act’s invocation, in spite of the fact that — by his own admission — it was not part of his mandate to do so, and he had not undertaken a formal analysis.

Governments are obliged to follow the law, just like everyone else — and we owe Justice Mosley a debt of gratitude for the timely reminder of that fact.

What of the political fallout? There is a world in which a government might, when confronted with a court ruling that they illegally invoked and abused the most draconian law on the books, simply accept the ruling with humility, apologize unreservedly for having overstepped, and resign on principle.

Clearly, we don’t live in that world: unrepentant as ever, and within an hour of the decision’s release, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced that the government would be appealing it. This is completely in character for a government that has time and again sneered at the rule of law — e.g. their ethics violations both big and small, the SNC-Lavalin scandal — preferring to comfort itself with fiction that rules are for other people.

Justice Mosley. Why, if we're clear, concise, and logical, folk'll start to think anybody can do it!

I thought maybe he didn't properly collect his fee or something.
