A Federal court ruled that the Emergency Act should not have been enacted during the Truckers Protest in Ottawa. The reason given was that the protest failed to meet the threshold of a national emergency. Deputy PM Freeland said that the ruling would be appealed.
Another kick in the nuts for Trudeau.

He will plead ignorance. And nothing will be done. First thing to do is get rid of the lawyers.

I'm pleasantly surprised that we still have a judge left with the integrity and courage to make the right ruling on this.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

It’s going to be appealed. Nothing of consequence will come of it. As usual.

So what’s the penalty for this? Nada, bupkis, zip, nuttin’, just like here. He won’t even have to apologize, and the Lib voters will still love him and keep him in office.
What fresh Hell is this?

It will play out with the usual political games and spin. However, it stands out that the PM erred in his judgement and that a cast of fools followed him into the history books. I hope everyone of those MPs that voted to enact this will be remembered for their incompetence and lack of fortitude. Not one of them stood up and questioned Trudeau’s motives. Shame on all of them.

Nick; Morning sir, I trust you all are getting at least a wee bit of a break from the cold out east and that you're all well. Thanks for the thread as it caused me to do some digging since my semi-full, semi-ancient hard drive/memory wasn't clear on who voted for what that fateful day. Here's what a search showed up for the question - "Did any conservatives vote for the Emergency Act?" Though interrupted by police operations against the protesters on February 18, debate otherwise proceeded as planned and the House of Commons voted to confirm use of the act 185 to 151, with the Liberals and New Democratic Party (NDP) in support, and the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois voting against the motion.Somehow I'd forgotten that Yves-Francois Blanchet and company had voted with the Conservatives this time. Honestly seeing their vote on other important issues to me - pipelines and firearms - I'm now conflicted, but that's my issue. Again and I'm sorry to sound like the proverbial broken record here, but NDP leader Jimmy Dhaliwal and company, including the senior citizen who represents me here and has announced he won't run again - Richard/Dick Cannings - supported PM Shiny Pony down the line entirely, so any out there who are still voting NDP please take note. As you say, "shame on them", that is the MPs who voted to suspend freedoms in so many aspects of our lives when even at the time it was obviously unnecessary. Hopefully enough of us will see the light and recognize it for what it was, which is in my view a trial run for those in power to suspend our individual freedoms for as long as they see fit. It's in our best interest for them to do so after all and even if we don't see that they know what's best, eventually we'll see them for the true heroes that they are. I'm reminded of when over 10,000 firearm owners showed up on Parliament Hill to protest one of the bills being pushed through by another Lib government. When a reporter asked Allan Rock who was Minister of Injustice at the time what his thoughts were, seeing as 10,000 showed up there, his reply was more or less, "We don't count heads. We know what's best for Canadians". Honestly Nick there's going to be some of us whose minds will not allow them to see the truth. The road ahead for us in the west and in Canada particularly is not an easy one. Nonetheless, I'm not about to give up as long as I've got a pulse, so we'll continue to contend with them, right? All the best. Dwayne
The most important stuff in life isn't "stuff"

Hi BC30cal,
I won’t complain about our bearable temperatures we have had this winter here out east, seeing as what you have had to endure thus far in the west. I’m concerned for tomorrow as they are now calling for freezing rain overnight and 10 to 15mm of rain Thursday. Not good.
There is a recent Angus Reid poll out stating that the majority of people that will vote Liberal in the next election are doing so to prevent a Conservative victory. They simply want to stop Pollievre from winning and have no support or any knowledge of the Liberal platform. This is the stupidity that we are up against. Voting to prevent while not knowing what those consequences will be. I am somewhat interested in the political situation but not nearly as invested in it as many here but I can tell you what the consequences of this ill-fated strategy will be: loss of freedom, censorship, loss of property, continued government corruption, loss of international respect, and a further erosion of our standard of living.
What is equally disturbing is NDP voters will mimic this strategy as well. We aren’t out of the woods yet with this coalition of the unholy.
Anyways, we must take comfort in this court decision and keep moving forward to an eventual return to sanity in this country.
Nick

This is exactly the problem - too many people not paying attention to the issues, but rather simply parroting the media line - in this case "Apple Man Bad". (See what I did there?)

I didn't know the Supreme Court to tell me that Turdo and company violated the law.

A comparision on Freeland and Liberals over the us of the emergency act and some of their other decisions (Omar Kadar being one). Pretty damming when taken as a whole in terms of being soft on terror and select groups. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/cana...our-soft-on-terror-deputy-pm/ar-BB1hqgWB

Just a heads up, Parliament resumes today, I'm guessing it is going to be a shyte storm in the house today. Pretty sure the smell of blood will bring questions about the EA and the latest vacation the Turd took which cost a minimum 84,000 LOL
CPAC....Question period......I will PVR it because I like watching the Turd get run right out of the house.
