Legal groups are prepared to 'defend our victory that found the Emergencies Act was used unlawfully, and the regulations were unconstitutional, should the Supreme Court grant leave.'
Anthony Olienick and Chris Carbert, who were convicted of mischief and weapons offences at the Alberta-Montana border in 2022, have already spent more than two years in prison awaiting their trial.
Constable Michael Brisco's request comes after the federal court recently ruled that Justin Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act to end the Freedom Convoy violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
A federal judge ruled that the Trudeau government's actions were 'a direct violation of the nation’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and thus was 'not justified.''
Trudeau is seeking to appeal yesterday’s landmark decision that he was ‘not justified’ in invoking the Emergency Act to shut down the 2022 Freedom Convoy which protested COVID regulations and vaccine mandates.
