It's true some Freedom Convoy protesters broke the law and were held accountable. The protest in Ottawa caused a lot of headaches for residents. But that was no reason to freeze protesters' bank accounts and ban even peaceful protesters who just wished to raise a Canadian flag.

The Federal Court and Federal Court of Appeal found that Trudeau did not meet these requirements, including showing there was a national (as opposed to local) emergency, and he had no evidence that there were "threats to the security of Canada" including the terrorism alleged.

The EA was passed in 1988 with strict thresholds that government must meet before it can be used. This was purposeful: Canadians were horrified by abuses of civil liberties after the War Measures Act to intern Japanese Canadians and to round up dissidents in the October Crisis.

The Emergencies Act is an extraordinary law. It's designed to let governments move quickly by ignoring the regular lawmaking process during real emergencies like wars, impending terrorist attacks or pandemics. It's only been used once. It wasn't even used during COVID-19.

The Supreme Court will hear Carney's appeal of the Federal Court of Appeal's decision upholding a prior decision that found Trudeau unlawfully invoked the Emergencies Act in 2022 against the Freedom Convoy. Here's why this matters, whether you supported the truckers or not 👇🚚
