Federal Court declares Trudeau's use of Emergencies Act unconstitutional

https://tnc.news/2024/01/23/federal-court-declares-trudeaus-emergencies-act-unconstitutional/ In a long-awaited decision, the Federal Court has ruled that the measures Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked under the Emergencies Act were unreasonable and unconstitutional. JUST IN - Justin Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act to quell protests has been ruled unreasonable and unconstitutional by a federal court in Canada. Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland says Trudeau's government will appeal the federal court's ruling because they believe invoking the Emergencies Act was "right" and "necessary" at the time. Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre says: "Judge rules Trudeau broke the highest law in the land with the Emergencies Act. He caused the crisis by dividing people. Then he violated Charter rights to illegally suppress citizens."
