The Manitoba court action was filed December 9, 2020. The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is representing seven churches, a minister, a deacon, and an individual fined for exercising his Charter rights to peacefully protest and express himself at a rally in Steinbach, Manitoba.
Government lawyers told the Court that the Alberta Government could not produce any scientific evidence in support of the lockdown orders in time for the May 3 trial.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms called the mayor's and the emergency management chief's 'threat to lock down the City of Calgary' a 'gross usurpation of authority.'
