However, now two levels of federal courts have rendered decisions in the case, and both ruled that Ottawa's invocation of the Emergencies Act was unreasonable and violated Charter rights. The demonstrations did not meet the strict criterion of the definition of a national emergency. Thank you, Trudeau and Telford...
That means that other laws should have been invoked instead to deal with these demonstrations. Will Carney seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada? No. He already has enough problems and needs this one like a bullet in the head.
Put succinctly, this is at least a moral victory for the truckers. I may not like it, but respecting the law and court decisions is mandatory and constitutes foundational bedrock in our legal system.
