The federal government says it plans to appeal a ruling by the Federal Court stating that its use of the Emergencies Act to shut down the so-called Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa two years ago was “not justified.”

Im curious how everyone here feels about the whole convoy thing and emergency act utilization.

    I think it was absolutely unjustified. The only reason emergency powers were invoked was because business was affected by the bridge closure. The government didn’t see it fit to invoke emergency power during the pandemic to help people, but as soon as a bridge gets blocked that’s real shit. This also sets the precedent for is using emergency powers to break up labour strikes when they start affecting business.
