On Thursday, which was the second anniversary of Trudeau’s unconstitutional invocation of the War Measures (Emergencies) Act, legal proceedings were commenced against Justin Trudeau, along with his deputy Chrystia Freeland, several other Liberal Members of Parliament, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (“RCMP”) and a litany of Canadian banks. 

On 14 February 2022, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the War Measures (Emergencies) Act in response to the Freedom Convoy protest. 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.

On 7 February 2022, eco-fascist Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England, wrote an article which was published in The Globe and Mail:

The goals of the leadership of the so-called Freedom Convoy were clear from the start: to remove from power the government that Canadians elected less than six months ago. Their blatant treachery was dismissed as comic, which meant many didn’t take them as seriously as they should have … now in its second week, no one should have any doubt. This is sedition. That’s a word I never thought I’d use in Canada. It means “incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.”

Those who are still helping to extend this occupation must be identified and punished to the full force of the law … Drawing the line means choking off the money that financed this occupation.

It’s time to end the sedition in Ottawa by enforcing the law and following the money, Mark Carney, 7 February 2024

A week after Carney’s article, on 15 February 2022, using powers granted under the War Measures (Emergencies) Act, the federal government directed banks and other financial institutions to stop doing business with people associated with the anti-vaccine mandate convoy occupying the nation’s capital. According to the regulations, financial institutions were required to monitor and halt all transactions that funnelled money to demonstrators.

On 23 January 2024, the federal court ruled in favour of the citizens who participated in the peaceful 2022 Freedom Convoy in Ottawa.  The court ruled that the decision to use the War Measures (Emergencies) Act to respond to the Freedom Convoy was unreasonable, excessive and violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to expression and security against unreasonable searches and seizures.

About 14 minutes after the federal court ruling was released, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced the Liberal government plans to appeal the Federal Court’s decision. It later came out that officials did not read the judge’s thorough, 36-page ruling before announcing an appeal, Western Standard said.

Three weeks after the ruling, on 14 February 2024, law firm Loberg Ector submitted a notice of action and a statement of claim to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Ottawa), thus commencing proceedings on behalf of 20 victims of the Trudeau government’s unconstitutional misuse of the provisions of the Emergencies Act in February 2022.

Today @LobergEctorLLP filed the Statement of Claim in the matter of Edward Cornell et al v Justin Trudeau et al, setting out the claims being advanced in respect of the Trudeau government's unconstitutional actions against these plaintiffs.

The Trudeau regime’s victims are seeking compensation and relief for the unconstitutional actions of the Liberal government, certain police agencies, Canadian financial institutions and other defendants.

In a press release which has the full statement of claim attached, the lawyers acting on behalf of the victims said:

A democracy is only as strong as its commitment to the rule of law, and when a government decides that it’s not bound by the law of Canada, the resulting unlawful action not only breaks the law, it undermines and degrades the very democracy that put that government in power in the first place.

These unlawful actions also undermine the integrity of our community and tells Canadian citizens that they can no longer rely on the government to protect our liberty and freedom, but instead, they should be fearful of a government that considers themselves unrestrained by the rule of law.

This is not about any single instance of free speech, or any particular protest, and it specifically does not matter how anyone feels about the Freedom Convoy Protest. What matters is the obligation the government has to the people of this nation to obey the law. This litigation is about that obligation.

The statement of claim alleges that the defendants acted unlawfully and in breach of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the financial institution defendants acted in breach of legislation, contract, and common law when they seized, froze, or otherwise interfered with the financial services, private property, products and information of the plaintiffs.

As reported by Western Standard, the plaintiffs are seeking $2.2 million each in damages for having their rights violated over the enactment.
