Court sides with Alberta: Liberal use of Emergencies Act Unconstitutional I have issued the following statement with Minister of Justice Mickey Amery in response to the Federal Court’s decision on the invocation of the Emergencies Act: “Since day one, Alberta has been clear that the federal government’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act during the COVID-19 pandemic violated the constitutionally guaranteed rights of Albertans and gave the federal government the ability to seize property without due process of law. “The decision of the Federal Court today that the use of the Emergency Orders under the Emergencies Act was unreasonable and a contravention of the Act. This Court decision reaffirms that regulations under the Act violated Charter rights to freedom of expression and that the Orders infringed upon the rights of Albertans, and Canadians, to be free from unreasonable search and seizure. “Today is another example of the Federal Court ruling against the Federal Government’s unconstitutional practices. Whether it’s today’s court decision, or their defeat on plastics or the Impact Assessment Act, it is clear the Trudeau Liberal Government simply does not understand or respect the Constitution of Canada. “We are disappointed that the federal government has indicated they will be appealing the decision. The unnecessary use of the Emergencies Act set a dark and dangerous precedent, and if the federal government will not acknowledge that fact, Alberta will continue to champion the Charter rights of Albertans and all Canadians. “We want to thank the Canadian Constitution Foundation and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, as well as all the parties involved in initiating this legal challenge, for their dedication to protecting and upholding the rights and freedoms of Canadians. “We continue to review the Federal Court’s reasons and will be prepared to intervene in the Federal appeal should the Trudeau government move ahead.”
@ABDanielleSmith The judge said he used evidence /facts that were not available to the govt at the time in question. He admitted his first impression was it was reasonable. When judging reasonableness, you cannot rely on evidence which was not available. Grounds for appeal!
@ABDanielleSmith WRONG — get someone to explain the findings of Justice Mosley at a level you can understand @ABDanielleSmith — a grade 5 level. You will find this is not the win you think it is. Gload while you can but the SCC will have the final say — NOT politicians. Next stop, applet court.
@ABDanielleSmith UCP were begging for help.
@ABDanielleSmith This was at the(blocked) Coutts border Danielle. Public safety was at risk. The judge didn’t say he supports the convoy, or that he agrees with them… quite the opposite. I support public health and public safety. Clearly you don’t.
@ABDanielleSmith @KesslaContract1 Gonna mention the #Coutts4 at all? They are after all Alberta citizens detained without trual for 2 years now by the Ottawa Regime.
@ABDanielleSmith who do you appeal a supreme court decision to?
@ABDanielleSmith @DrJBhattacharya Alberta, the Florida of Canada.
@ABDanielleSmith Thank you again. Never again. What about the coutts 4?????
