- A federal judge says the Canadian government's use of the Emergencies Act in early 2022 to clear self-described Freedom Convoy protesters from Ottawa was unreasonable and infringed on their Charter rights. Andrew Chang breaks down the government's reasoning for invoking the law and the judge's argument against it.

You missed one important piece. The government NEVER EVEN TRIED to meet with the convoy.
They weren’t BLM marxists
Trudeau was a coward he ran away
And existing laws existed to deal with it
Yes and the paid propagandists at the CBC also failed to mention that Turdeau's use of the Emergencies Act was proven illegal. A crime against the Canadian people that Turdeau should pay a hefty and permanent price for. At very least we can celebrate the simple fact that Turdeau will never be able to show his face in public again without being mocked, ridiculed and called out for his crimes against Canada and her people.
Exactly, which was the cause of the Truckers remaining in wait to have that audience with him. Trudeau caused it all.
Note to freeland "feeling it was the RIGHT decision, NECESSARY decision" does not make it LEGAL & CONSTITUTIONAL
EXACTLY 💯
But it worked and stopped the blockade. Well done.
You could also say that the blockades and protests in Ottawa also 'worked'. Shortly thereafter, the draconian health measures were eased back or ended. The protest showed Trudeau and co., as well as the rest of the Canadian population, who were unaware of just how outraged were so many of their co-citizens, that personal rights and freedoms would not be taken for granted, at least not without a struggle or large statement. That statement was made, and in the face of this intense response from its constituents, the government panicked and illegally invoked the EA. Done.
@@terrymckenzie8786 So in your opinion the rule of law can be overridden as long as "it worked". Interesting, have you ever heard the expression "the end justifies the means"? It was used extensively by Lenin and co after the 1917 revolution and used to murder hundreds of thousands of people who had different opinions. Because that is where you end up using that argument, and it doesn't take very long at all. Try living in North Korea for a while, there is a whole system build on "it works". No thank you.
Of course freeland will defend it, she is a part of the gang, now depending how Canadian see this tragedy… are they willing to put this country again and again in the hands of this people?
The CBC needs to be held accountable for thier actions on this subject.
Absolutely..!...And theres culpability around several Covid issues as well.......The CBC should definitely be held accountable....You cant use propaganda to put Canadian lives in danger, and thats exactly what they did, and continue to do.
These CBC propagandist journos are part of the problems. The most corrupt bunch if people calling themselves professionals
Their false and selective coverage of the convoy was absolutely disgusting.
They totally contributed… and now they’re going to tell us all about it 😂
Thank you for your continued support of their channel. Keep the views and comments coming.@@RH-km2du
I love how CBC was supporting the use of the Emergency Act and now they are agreeing it was unconstitutional.
CBC was all in on the EA and demonizing the truckers and their supporters and all Canadians who were against the mandates. CBC is vile state propaganda.
you realize that there are people with different opinions within the CBC right? thats how journalism works?
They are the Pravda of Canada!
It's state television. Obviously it's going to be propaganda lol. You can still enjoy it...
They even try to downgrade it to “unreasonable”….🤬🤬🤬
Imagine Trudeau went outside…and said “I hear you guys…let’s work together”
But no he hid, and then called them names.
And then used the EA act to try and save face and browbeat his opponents into submission. Looks like it backfired big time now.
What...honk...honk...what i can't hear you...honk honk.....Ya thats a good environment to have at talk..give your head a shake..
Trudeau is not required to risk his life by dealing with an armed mob, including many US residents.
ya but thats what everyone does now......hides behind their phone screen......lol except me.....when i go out my phone is in my pocket most of the time.
The judge actually had a lot more to say, why not give ALL the information?
Narrative control as always
Because it's boring, dumb, and hard to watch. If I wanted everything the judge said I'd look that at up. I want CBC's opinion so I go to CBC.
@@nuxkaminaor they could post it in its entirety and you could skip it. Taking and using sound bites can be very misleading. Just listen to the woman talking about the LGBQ people “might feel threatened”…..what did the Freedom Convoy have to do with that??? Nothing, but they chose to try and add an element of division that didn’t exist.
it's CBC, they have to cherry pick what they want, to cleverly craft a narrative where this is "BAD" but "NOT REALLY BAD". They will support the Liberal's appeal of course. Their 1.2+ billion payday requires they carry Liberal Water.
No time to listen any B S it was only the opinion of one ill judgment!
Imagine if the CBC had the stones to question the use of the EA like this is real time.
Imagine- people might actually support them
Imagine if the CBC were an actual news station and not just a mouthpiece for the liberal government
Government was wrong period
It's not over
For so many reasons, you are wrong !
Only freezing certain bank accounts might be an issue.
But likely not.
@@grantjohnston7148 Like I said they had it coming. What the judge thought was a local problem was operations central
@bitwhys3920
Yes, i believe that is very likely.
It's all very fishy when you connect everything.
And really, the fact that so much American money from maga was supporting them is in itself enough to use the emergency act !
😱😰😆@@SRCX.ClimateResearch
Seizing peoples financial assets, property, and suspending insurance is criminal and despicable.
No consequences for Justin! Be sure to tell your kids “crime does pay after all “, just look at our leader.
seizing for something ppl did that was legal the week before!> LOL!!!
those are the consequences when you protest illegally.......and they didnt seize them from everyone the way you make it sound........only from a few ppl that had no right to be there in the first place. not to mention they should have been vaccinated since they came into contact with the public. So just like everyone else at that time if you worked at a job where you came into contact with the public you had to be vaccinated.
shutting down the economy and terrorizing blocks of Ottawa was criminal and despicable
@@StevesSammiches shutting down the economy? You are talking about what the government did right? Along with trying to force injections on the people and divide everyone, even familes. That is pure evil.
So where was the CBC to do this research and report on these infringements as they were happening, as we all watched and new it was an overreach?
100%!! Reporter sits there in casual clothing to downplay/distract from his fierce cbc allegiance and with a smug grin on his face, talking to his audience like children, as if the whole travesty of justice can be lightly brushed off as a trifle misunderstanding. I find this disgusting. Countless people lost their jobs, incomes, and more due to this tyranny; and for this government funded mouthpiece, it's just a middle-school teachable moment in jurisprudence. Where's the remorse for the role they played in misrepresenting, nay, demonizing Canadians who took a conscientious peaceful stand for constitutional freedom?
well, now that it has gone through the courts, where is the contrition, the remorse? Nah, plausible deniability, of course, after the fact.@@Gonzo62
@@Gonzo62 you act as though a news outlet has never done research and exposed anything before. CBC wasn't exactly nuanced in their reporting so it is really no surprise that I might think they could have looked deeper into the matter especially when you consider the same body that brought this case was making the claim immediately that the EA went against the charter.
@@Gonzo62 Usually people don't need things to 'go through the courts' to understand that government stormtroopers physically attacking innocent civilians or the freezing out completely of the latters bank accounts is an overreach.
But with people with your type of 'thinking' inhabiting this space, here we are.
What can you expect from the Canadian Bullshit Corporation ??
It doesn't matter if Freeland thinks it was necessary or not, the high bar of the criteria to invoke the act is clearly laid out AND was not met, period! Invoking the act is a crime against Canadians and Canada itself, therefore it should be dealt with the harshest of penalties.
What part of the Criminal Code says that, Justice Mikespak?
@@bayousbambino427breach of the charter and constitution by the federal government is a crime
Ok boomer
@@ernestjensen3238show me the section of the act that says that. Crimes in Canada are listed in the criminal code. Have a read, let me know.
@@MegaAssface lol was that meant to be offensive or you are just offended I was correct
surprised comments are allowed on this video. lol
!!!!
You're right, they did not block my surprise! :o
It worked again!!
surprised youtube isn’t blocked yet
I was very surprised 😂 it’s a typical Canadian media video with “explaining” that makes you laugh and get pissed off. This Asian dude is likeable in how he talks very calmly and measured but he always spews carefully worded bullshit.
You aren’t alone lol
Even CBC knows Trudeau is utterly toxic and done...
This must crush CBC having to announce the court's decision.
Well they lied about couts it was proven that the gun stash house had nothing to do with the blockade…. Also the blockade in that area was already cleared before the blockade
1 reply, and it's been deleted.
They did more than that, they were making excuses the whole time, setting up for " we will do better next time, learning experience now let's move on we have a climate emergency to deal with "
GOOD THEY ARE COMMUNISTS TOO
about 10,000 or 20,000 people actually tune into CBC on TV...it's on it's way
Unconstitutional was the word used by the judge. Why does your thumbnail & headline say differently?
they have been avoiding the word for some reason, even if it is not just mentioned but heavily emphasized in his ruling. Illegal, unjustified, unreasonable and unconstitutional were the key terms, I guess you can see CBC's values amd goals based on what they omit.
@@BBQJOE22 I often only pay attention to them to see what they omit. It’s often more telling than what they say. Hat tip.
No it wasn't. It was a constitutional power, that was used in an unreasonable manner. The judge never said unconstitutional
The judge used more than one word, your argument is spurious.
The judge didn't use the word "unconstitutional". However, he said "the decision to issue the Proclamation was unreasonable and led to infringement of Charter rights not justified under section 1". So, it was still "unconstitutional" nonetheless.
You completely missed one of the reasons the feds didn't meet the criteria to impose the act. You started down that road but branched off. That is that the EMA can be declared geographically. It can apply to one or more regions or nationally. The EMA also requires consultation with the provinces. Trudeau met briefly with the premiers. Ontario wanted the act to be declared. BC & Newfoundland/Labrador were OK with the declaration. Quebec was adamantly against as were Alberta and Saskatchewan. Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI were not in agreement with the declaration. That's seven to three against invocation of the EMA. Trudeau not only went ahead with invocation, he made it national. The Judge allowed the brief meeting to stand as a consultation, but the national proclamation was illegal (as I understand the ruling).
Another factor you didn't quite get to was that by the time the act was actually proclaimed, all the protests outside of Ottawa had been resolved (and all by use of existing laws, which you did mention). There was no need for any invocation of the Act outside of Ottawa.
As it turned out there was not even a need for the invocation of the act within Ottawa. The demonstration was cleared using existing provincial law and the Criminal Code. The clearing action was planned in advance of the invocation of the EMA. The only thing the EMA ended up 'accomplishing' was violating Sections 2 & 7 of the Charter!
I don''t usually watch or listen to anything from CBC, but I wondered if CBC could manage to screw up the reporting like the did with the reporting from the Convoy. I wasn't disappointed.
CBC is garbage. They are paid by the Liberal government.
Well, let's remember that Harper government (including Poillevre) fought the Toronto G20 Summit Protest case (the most arrests of protestors, EVER) against the Harper government's abuse of power and eventually lost in the supreme Court to the tune of 16 million.
I'm glad the court rejected the Liberal's abuse of power as well because I know once one Party gets away with it, both parties will abuse their power again and again.
Funny how both sides pretend that they don't do the exact same thing.......
The system works.
Didn't the Liberals revoke the EMA just before the Senate was about to vote on it? Just going on memory.
Thanks. Well put. You saved me a bunch of typing. I didn't know exactly how to say it, and you elaborated further than I would have.
TUrdeau's paid propagandists also failed to mention that TUrdeau's use of the Emergencies Act was proven to be absolutely illegal and that Turdeau is officially a criminal.
I despise the CBC and I'll bet there are thousands of dislikes on this video.
No bridge was blocked when the Emergency Act was called. The Coutts 4 have not been convicted, innocent until proven guilty in Canada. A neighbourhood protest is not a serious threat to Canada. There was no violence in Ottawa.
Yeah, and the argument that lots of local Ottawa businesses were inconvenienced and had to shut their doors is spurious, given how many businesses were forced by gov't mandates to shut their businesses during much of the pandemic. Inconvenience does not equal 'national emergency'. It was an emergency for Trudeau and co, who could not cope with the degree of anger at his mandates (peacefully) demonstrated in the streets of Ottawa. It was just too dramatic for the drama teacher to handle.
Yep
Nothing has been proven, these issues still before the courts as 4 men wait in jail with no bail. Shame.
it was NOT a neighborhood protest......
I think one of the main things to ask is why are some demonstrations ok and others are not? It appears that it depends on politics. If you burn churches and riot for a liberal protest it is ok. If you protest liberal covid restrictions, you are a national security threat. That is the problem here. Why is there different rules for different affiliates.
It depends on your politics. Anything deemed by the Left as Social justice protest/movement is fine... regardless of the damage.
Correct , also blocking trains is allowed and blocking highways and shutting down the Eaton centre to protest Israel is also acceptable.
It was ruled unconstitutional not unreasonable. Stop changing the words to make it sound less damning.
dude literally said that the judge ruled that it infringed on charter rights. Jesus, y'all are thick
Let’s never forget, the primary goal of the Truckers Convoy, was to get an audience with the government to discuss the issues around Covid.
Which were all ignored!!
Because they can't tell the truth. It would go against everything the CBC stands for. Just a propaganda machine.
@@ard6016🎯
Your comment is hidden by the way.
Must be too much truth.
@@StirlingLighthousehow do you see it? I've noticed this happening a lot with replies. I've had about seven of my replies hidden in the last three days
He was replied to that's how he is able to see it.
The whole scale of the protest ballooned when Trudeau started slandering them and their cause before they even got to the Capital. If he showed them even a moderate amount of respect, the movement likely wouldn't have received near as much support as it did and may have died out after a weekend of protesting, but he riled them up by directly insulting them.
I love how they are pretending they didn’t already know this 2 years ago hahahahaha
Finally, some common sense and an accurate explanation of the Emergency Act. From day one, I have believed that using this act was illegal and a breach of the Charter. Even after Commissioner Rouleau ruled, I knew this had to be taken to court for a complete, legal verdict. I am happy that Judge Mosley applied the law and the strictest definition, not his personal bias or beliefs. Reading about this ruling has restored my faith in Canada and the Charter. I hope Canadians, regardless of their personal feelings about the Trucker protest, realize the importance of this verdict to our democracy. I hope Canadians remember this when they vote in the next election. I hope the decision to invoke the Act haunts Trudeau, Freeland and Singh as this is what history will remember them by.
As long as they don't vote Pollievre and make it worse.
@@MrBrock314 After 8 years of Trudeau, I am always surprised when I hear the "Poilievre" hate with no justification other than "I don't like the guy." With everything that we've gone through with Trudeau and Singh my question is how can you not vote PC at election?
@@Lovethe416CaTeam Yes no doubt.
@@Lovethe416CaTeam Maybe if Poilievre wasn't blocking funding to Ukraine in parliament using the excuse of it including a carbon tax. He needs to separate lobbying for fuel companies from international interests.

@@griffin_boothwell maybe politicians shouldn’t try to slip in funding for unrelated things in their bills
LOL Almost pissed my pants when you said free speech is a core tenant of our Canadian Democracy lol, I think bills passed would say different. Peterson would say differently. When our institutions penalize individuals on their free speech, which was not criminal speech, it is an authoritarian living standard.
Ironic, you saying that freely.
@@bayousbambino427 Have you read the Peterson court ruling? You might want to read up on it, turns out you only have free speech if the courts deem you worthy enough to have it -_-)

Peterson was called out by the college of physicians a self regulating arm for doctors. They are to act in a professional manner.Peterson can believe what he wants, but he cannot call his fellow surgeons butchers and murders. Peterson is a sad person full of anger.
Peterson has no right to viciously attack the LGBTQ community - something he has persistently done. Lots of evidence on that score.
And many people in Ottawa said they never felt more safe and the homeless were being fed
I was in Ottawa at the time. The emergency act and police response caused more disruption to traffic and commerce than the truckers ever did.

From the video - "This is not over."
It damned well shouldn't be over! There needs to be a whole round of the biggest class action lawsuits this nation has ever seen to right this gross injustice.
Who should sue? the people of Ottawa?
@@christinesmith1499 were the people of Ottawa the ones who had accounts frozen and police drag them away ??
And jailed authority figures
The officials that approved the act be initiated should be sued
Personally, not the taxpayers who were horrified by it.
I can see it now. "Entitled Knuckleheads Sue Government for 6.5 Trillion Dollars."
There is more to this that he did not touch on. A comment of the judge pointed out that the Liberal government used it to squash an opinion they did not like.
Specifically, let's compare this to the most recent demonstrations of the Palestinians and Hamas supporters. There has been violence, threats to police and civilians, and damage to property. Why wasn't the Emergencies Act used?
CBC is doing a great job at covering up the extent of the corruptness by disingenuously up playing the significance of the weapons found. They're also saying words like "unreasonable use." Paid Liberal Media at its finest defending their boss.
To those in the comments saying, "How can the judge do this, this makes me fear for my saftey". Think about all the canadians who had their bank accounts frozen that were trampled by horses, roughed by police, had credit cards cancled, etc. You have a lot more to be worried about if the government can freeze your bank account when they feel like it.
Well said. Excellent point!
Can't do the time, don't do the crime.
He also said the protests had the goal to “disrupt” but the goal was really freedom
Well, let's remember that Harper government (including Poillevre) fought the Toronto G20 Summit Protest case (the most arrests of protestors, EVER) against the Harper government's abuse of power and eventually lost in the supreme Court to the tune of 16 million.

This is the CBC what do you think they also leave out so many points on almost every news story. For example they’ve never touched on the 50 year old man swimming with teen girls and changing in the girls change room after and before practice, you can only trust Toronto sun and Rebel news. CBC censors everything.
SO Trudeau broke the law- no what? What's the punishment? Nothing?
my exact thought.. now what?!
He and his government are also going to use tax payers $ for the appeal. Isnt that awesome? I didnt know someone can break the law; get away with no consequence and even when they lost; they can always use public $ to appeal.
the question cbc wont ask
They will appeal first, then we can see. But my bet is that by then, he will no longer be in power, so he will face zero consequences.
@@_Bil Now the Liberals will appeal and lose, the truckers will sue, and the tax payers get to pay the bill... Thanks JT another great job.
Why cant mainstream media say the word ILIGAL . it was not just wrong.
Illegal and Unconstitutional .
Protests must be inconvenient to succeed
Impeding other people's ability to travel freely is not as protest. As a supporter of the movement, this was, and is wrong. Just look at Just Stop Oil in EU blocking roads. You do not have the right to impede me from freedom of movement throughout public domain owned by all citizens.
Except no one was prevented from going anywhere so nice try.
Laws must be applied to maintain civil society. Blocking a road is not legal. For the sake of the truckers' right to protest, the road laws were overlooked. However, a unique exception cannot go on forever, or else it becomes the rule. So, after three weeks of being allowed to protest in the streets, the truckers were told to leave. Instead of disbanding or moving to a park or somewhere else off of the roads, they refused and the police thus had to use force to remove them.
That never necessitated use of the Emergencies Act, however. As the judge in this case noted, there were already laws--such as the Traffic Act--enabling the police to clear protesters off the streets.
@@bayousbambino427 I am ashamed and mortified that you call yourself a Canadian and at the same time are actually in favour of the government violating the Charter Rights of its citizens. Have you ever considered that perhaps Canada is not for you... perhaps Iran, China, North Korea etc. would be more preferable to someone with such an authoritarian bent...

Funny how you never mention the city of Ottawa, Ottawa police AND the OPP had a deal struck with protestors to move out, two days prior to the invocation of the EA.

Not true!

@@minimaxmiaandme.4971yes ..THAT “is” TRUE …Kt was even discussed in regard to the arrest of Tamara Lynch
I have to give you credit for keeping the comments on CBC. I know there are some of you who don't like how things are going.
Here's my opinion as an Ottawa resident. Yes it was very noisy. But the government said the emergencies act was a last resort. A last resort implies they tried to anything. To negotiate, to meet in the middle, or even use existing laws? Nope. First they ignored it. Then all of a sudden people's bank accounts were frozen. I know it was wrong. You know it was wrong. But like I said good for you for keeping the comments on.
What they did is what Communists do.
The goal was to disrupt??? Are you on drugs!!! The goal was to get a draconian policy changed!!
I was shocked how the Canadian Federal Government dealt with the protest. People have a right to chose and express their opinion. Respect for the judge 👏 🙌
BTW I'm fully vaccinated.
Same. Shocking. And vaccinated
I’m almost sixty and was never prouder to be a a Canadian as I was when the common grass roots rose up to protect my rights and my freedoms. This was not a national emergency this was inconvenient., Shame on the Government, Shame on the RCMP who are paid to uphold the law. The decision by justice Mosley is bittersweet to me and it’s incredible that in Canada we were in this position to begin with. Trudeau refused to listen or meet with the demonstrators and instead ruled the land with an iron fist. So much more could have been done.
Absolutely felt the same and agree with you 100 percent
Countless masses of people all along the route, waving flags and rooting for them. In the middle of a cold Canadian winter. It was a moving sight (pardon pun) when we went to see them pass by. We even joined at the back for the progression through our city. Something I'll always remember fondly. I'll always remember the Liberal party's actions too, not fondly though.
don't need some so called truckers convoy to talk and fight for me, had freedom, before convoy during convoy
and now, can talk for me thank-you
Well said
Dude said "machete" as if it was the scariest thing he'd ever heard of... How are people supposed to cut open their coconuts?
So you are minimalizing the discovery of weapons, and the conspiracy to murder police. How convenient.
And Cbc help push thr narrative that we were a fringe few who needed to be crushed
In all these clips I did not see a single act of violence until the emergencies act was invoked and police moved in.
To my knowledge , there wasn't even a window broken .
In fact it probably safer walking though the protest , than walking along Wellington Street , the By-Ward Market and Rideau Street tonight .
Feels like a lot of polititians are playing " choose the policies of the dystopian empire you would like to emulate today" bingo
Trudeau invoked it because he lives in daddy's shadow and had to be the only other PM to use such a draconian law. He knew it was wrong, which is why he pulled it before the senate could vote on it. This government has overstepped its boundaries on so many occasions in so many different areas, the only determination that can be made is that they believe they have more power than the provinces and the people of Canada. Even with the provinces and people strongly indicating they do not want this PM or his government anymore, they cling to it like the kings of old clung to their rule. They forget who has the actual power, the people of this great nation. The people are tired of paying the price these self declared kings and queens of Canada have imposed on them. Trudeau will go down in the history books as the worst PM Canada ever had the unfortunate choice of electing, even if his overinflated opinion of himself, his vanity and arrogance tells him differently. Shame on him and his minions for ruining what was once a great nation. Get rid of this imbecile and any other government that thinks they have the power, so that the people can rebuild and become great yet again.
How come the narrator didn’t talk about forcing the jab on truckers is why they were protesting. But stopped forcing the jab when everyone got COVID who were vaccinated? Also illegals were allowed in unvaccinated.
where was Ford ?
Happily shirking his responsibility so someone else would get the blame.
Ontarians vote for Ford so Trudeau could do his homework.
Ford was working behind the scenes supporting Trudeau's decision to invoke, coluding with the despot Mayor of Ottawa to scoop Go Fund Me money and cancelling insurance and licenses.
A review of Fords' role in this is warranted as he has managed to keep his head down and pretend he wasn't involved.
Trudeau invoked Emergency Act over a bunch of protesters making very loud noises (that was the initial complaint). No wonder the judges found it unreasonable.
Also, the invocation of the Act made Canada look like fools on the international stage. Our most esteemed PM lectured the world's largest democracy about the right to protest but he couldn't tolerate a noisy one for more than a month.
They found people belonging to the same group had various weapons and ammunition. At least four were arrested and charged.
They had weapons, blocked traffic, and impeded businesses. To prove....nothing. I had forgotten these jokers were even a thing until now.

I Love how CBC is out here making this reel to soften the blow on them.

It's almost as if we were hallucinating on LSD when we first heard about the truckers' protest. In that distorted view, it seemed like the truckers were out of a zombie apocalypse - frothing at the mouth, brandishing weapons and flamethrowers, looking like they stepped right out of 'The Walking Dead', and not having slept for days. In this bizarre, acid-induced fantasy, they appeared as a menacing force, a mere three days' march from Ottawa.
But then, reality set in as the effects of the acid wore off. We realized these were not villains from a dystopian saga. These were our truckers, the very people who deliver our food and essentials. The so-called 'weapons' were nothing more than bibles, hockey sticks, and garbage bags used for cleaning up the neighborhood. This stark contrast highlighted a critical misjudgment.
In the light of day, it's clear that a grave error was made. Sending a child to do a man's job - that's how it feels looking at JT's decision to invoke the Emergency Act against these peaceful protesters. It's time for a change in leadership. Trudeau, it's time to step down and take your 'Parrot from WEF' with you.
As Canadians, we pride ourselves on our freedom and unity:
GOD KEEP OUR LAND GLORIOUS AND FREE
OH CANADA, WE STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE!
Let's also not overlook the overreach by those who tried to sell us on the idea that 'honk honk' meant something it didn't. It's a reminder to always seek the truth beyond the headlines and the hysteria. Let's keep our country free, fair, and respectful of peaceful dissent.
The federal Gov't never even tried to reach out to the protest, instead called them names and virtue signaled. Have this been dealt with by adults in the current Gov't this would be a completely different story. No one and I mean no one should back the Gov't when they stripped the rights of you and I overnight.
What does "reach out to the protest" mean? Or did you not think past coming up with that vague accusation?
How does anyone discuss measures to contain an infectious disease with people who are scientifically illiterate?
The protesters wanted Trudeau to resign, and cancel the jab. Two things that were never going to happen. Not a lot of wiggle room was there.
@bayousbambino427 you're conveniently not remembering that all they wanted was to talk. It's quite easy to disagree with something that doesn't affect you personally. People's lives were ruined because of lockdowns and mandates.

People gathered in a big way to express concern over covid mandates. Powers that be were railroading policy and accepting no questioning. It was apparent to some then and has been shown presently the response to covid was flawed. Government refused to talk and used muscle in to disband a legal, peaceful protest. Got to make some noise to be noticed. Get lost Justin and take your group with you.
Peaceful? You've got to be joking? They were partying all night and pissing in the streets.
@@TT-fq7plwhere was the violence? Peaceful means no violence...The only violence came from the jackboots of "just doing my job" police
Peaceful in that there was no destruction of property nor loss of life. @@TT-fq7pl

I'd love to see the CBC do a critique of their own (mis)reporting around the convoy.
"We did nothing wrong. For proof, we hired our friends to check and they said we were in the clear."
"Ok, but the courts say you were wrong."
"That's just, like, a difference of opinion. We're gonna appeal."
"On what grounds?"
"Parliament. We'll change the rules retroactively."
"You can't do that."
"Hold my beer."
🤣
Anyone would rule that engaging the emergency act didn't meet the criteria. But, dictators don't care about the law. 😂
To be fair it did not meet the strict criteria of the CSIS act (as far as a judge looking strictly at the law was concerned) but even Judge Mosley pointed out that without the benefit of hindsight. (Knowing how it was going to turn out.) He too would have likely implemented the Act as well.
Trudeau used the same reason the Hong Kong government used to suppressed the peaceful protest back in 2019, only difference was that action incited and fueled violent backlash in Hong Kong …imo. Trudeau and his government have no longer any moral ground to criticize any other foreign governments about human rights violations, doing so would be hypocritical.
The Ottawa protest wasn't a gong show. It was a rave, a street hockey game, and a cook out.
Not according to the people who lived on the occupied streets.
@@petercullen1624And that's a local policing issue not a national emergency.
@petercullen1624: you make an excellent point, the people living on a FEW blocked streets! EM act for that? Not a chance.
When do we sign up for the class-action lawsuit against the Liberal Party of Canada and the government?
There is going to be a massive class action law suit for those Canadian Citizens who Trudeau , Freeland , Lametti and Menichinchio illegally and unconstitutionally froze their bank accounts .
.
We didn't need a court to say the emergencies act wasn't justified. Call the election Trudeau, time is up.
Trudeau knows he’d be out in a heartbeat if an election were called, he’s dragging us all down with him until 2025
In a Leger survey conducted from February 4 to 6 in collaboration with The Canadian Press news agency, 62% of respondents said they opposed the protests' message of no vaccine mandates and fewer public health measures versus 32% who supported that message.
According to Global "46% of Canadians sympathize with trucker convoy, but many disagree with their tactics."
Even Conservative media like the National post; "Two-thirds of Canadians support use of Emergencies Act and want Freedom Convoy cleared out."
How much is the appeal going to cost taxpayers? It should be the liberal and NDP governments paying the bill.
Not to mention why would they be allowed to use taxpayers money to fight a decision that most taxpayers support? 🤷🏻♂️
Canadians were censored for stating what the Supreme Court has just concluded. Censorship is a dangerous political game that can be used in very dangerous ways.
Why are all these reporters now going against Trudeau when they backed what he was doing back then
Meal ticket is about to be revoked
why did not a single officer display a badge or name tag for the goon squad.
Same reason there were UN planes at the North Bay airport. Just a coincidence.
They were told it was unconstitutional right from the start. How will they be held accountable? Start with throwing them in jail for 3 months like they did to Tamara Lich and Chris Barber. Let all the truckers and citizens sue them personally. Pull all the funding from the CBC. Thank God for Rebel News!!!
I thought Freeland was going to say "I honestly thought we would get away with it."
When Russian forces start coming to take over Canada's northern territory, that may be time to invoke the EA. At that point even the Canadian military, if left at its current dismal state would be overwhelmed and likely not capable of containing the threat to the territorial integrity of Canada. This would be a scenario for the EA, not some parking congestion issue in a few blocks of downtown Ottawa.
Russia?? Russia will never invade Canada. China have slowly been invading Canada for a couple of decades.
CBC is state media, as a Canadian I’m disgusted by cbc and the people who work there. They should be thrown in jail
When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it”

Everything by the govt does, any party, is authoritarian by definition, they use coercion and force of law.
“When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing his respect for the law.” FB
There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate authority.
There were NO THREATS or violence
If anyone wants to see a justification for suspending civil liberties over national security, research El Salvador. The country was crippled by cartels and gang activity.
Now ask yourself if what was happening in our Country warranted such action. This is about precedent for future governments.
Very True, Trudeau broke the law plain and simple
And jailing the corrupt authorities was the solution after countless citizens where killed by gangs
Oh, you've changed your tune CBC!
They're well aware that the upcoming new gov't has a special eye on their funding.....
"We weren't wholeheartedly cheering on the unconstitutional implementation of the EA at the behest of our benefactor at all, Mr. Poilievre.... really, we weren't!!"
I'm impressed by Mr. Chang's balanced and fair reporting and applaud CBC giving him a voice and keeping the comments on. These things give me hope.
Yeah the guy is fair I have to admit. Good on him.
I absolutely agree.
That's great mabey rebal news will higher him when cbc is defunded
Disagree. He completely downplayed the significance and made it look like the liberals were in the right by implying the standards ro use the EA is too high.
Now think back to the way CBC covered the strike. They were basically Trudeau's mouthpiece. Shame on them.
The title is incorrect. It wasn't just " unreasonable ", it was UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!
Because was Unconstitutional.. this was illegal and even Criminal because it hurt people intentionally to reach his goal
No it wasn't FFS. I really wish people would actually read the judgement.
lol don't like the ruling? appeal till u get a liberal judge.
LOL. Appeals don't work that way.
Government lawyers will have to make a case that Justice Mosley erred in law for an appeal to be granted.
Time stamp 5:04 Why does Justin's eyes look like lizzard eyes when you zoom into it? If you look for the video from February 14th, 2022 where Trudeau and Freeland, addressed the country.
If you still support Trudeau at this point, I have no words
Failed to mention ,the food banks were overwhelmed with too much food, the homeless was being fed, the crime went down while they were there as per the chief and the roads where kept clean and cleared.
Canada needs to strengthen the Charter of Rights.
The government will always overstep on the people's freedoms and rights; then ask forgiveness later because no one ever gets punished for it.
Even one of the provinces participated in this Judicial review I recall - and it was confirmed that their input to 'not apply the EA to their province' was ignored. Not much of a consultation there JT ! The EA could have been applied in a specific zone.... if it were at all legal to invoke. Funny that an untested argument by Lametti was the basis for invocation in the public enquiry (not just the CSIS definition).... but when tested in a real court - fell completely apart -- then Lametti resigns as his MP seat hours later.
That beautiful protest was so canadian, the government reaction should see Pierre in power for 3 terms .
All because a boy ran and hid
This veil of propaganda has to end.
Bring the Hon Brian Peckford on to talk about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Trudeau broke, and that the CBC hasnt read in a while.
I’m proud of my fellow Canadians for standing together when things started going to far . Gives me hope
Whatever happened to the false flag that was a "semi full of guns was stolen" in the Ottawa area ? Seems to me that could be looked into ?
Amazingly, CBC left the comments turned on. Hope this isn't just a one off. Canadians have a lot to ask CBC to answer for in their bought and paid for approach to this, and most stories in the news.
The Truckers are heroes! Thank you truckers for staying your ground, you took the unjustified mandates down.
No they didn't, the mandate was stopped over a year after, don't exaggerate

@@cleomenes01 Yeah? In that reality Trump is currently president of the US, Poilievre is not part of the establishment, and the day after the Truckers occupied Ottawa (and the various border crossings) the COVID mandates just magically ended. 😆 Check again (you may want to be awake for this one 😜)
Now that this has been invoked the same law and standard can be used for subsequent governments and power never retracts it always expands.
Seems you don't understand what court rulings mean.
At this point getting rid of sock boy from office won’t help! The damage this child leader has done to our country is unrepairable. What happened in Edmonton last week is our future now. You’ll have to look for the story our media is not providing us with this information.
There needs to be a Class Action Lawsuit against this Government for all who suffered Loss and Damages. This Judges findings makes it a no brainer!
Respect for honest coverage, much different than the coverage CBC gave at the time. Maybe there is hope for you.
Excerpt from Report of the Public Inquiry into the 2022 Public Order Emergency
Page 102, paragraph 2 : 16.6 Sources and destination of donations
According to information provided by GoFundMe, the Freedom Convoy 2022
campaign hosted on that platform had 133,836 donors. Approximately 107,000
donations originated in Canada (86%), 14,000 in the United States (11%), and 4,000
originated from 80 other countries (3%). According to GoFundMe, the campaign
raised approximately CAD$10,060,000 before it was shut down. CAD$9 million
originated from Canada (89%), CAD$870,000 originated from the United States (9%),
and CAD$190,000 originated from 80 other countries (2%).
3:10 Not 55% as stated in this bogus vid but 89%. Even now they cant help it they have to lie
The ship is sinking and they're launching the life boat, that's all it is
Actually, it was a rogue trucker who had the weapons.
This wasn't a sign of terrorism. He probably was a gun smuggler who got caught.
I am not for illegal gun smuggling, but stick to the actual facts related to the protest.
This incident, I recall, as I am a resident of Alberta, was dealt with by law enforcement quickly.
And the individual in question was shunned by the actual truckers because they knew the Feds would overblow the situation and it played into the Feds narrative that the truckers were all crazy Mega supporters.
Instead of focusing on the real issue of the protest.
As for the Coutts boarder crossing. One lane was left open for regular traffic AND truckers who had to cross the border.
Many had time sensitive cargo including the export of beef, a major export for Alberta.
These personal vehicles and truckers were waved through and had the support of the Truckers during the Protest.
Of course a Federal funded media station is going to use false information to prove that the Emergency Act was completely warranted.
I am so sick of propaganda and lies of our current government.
Notice the pic of judge makes him look old and confused
Well that was about the fairest and non bias reporting I’ve watched from the CBC. Good job.
Andrew Chang seems to break the CBC journalist stereotype.
CBC is always fair. Conservatives invariably cry foul or call it bias when the story doesn't favour them. Left, Centre or Right, you can expect to be displeased sometimes in a society of free speech, something conservatives paradoxically forget.
@@perllyngrenn2100 They're not always fair, they are a propaganda arm of the government. They are state media. This piece is damage control and an attempt to hide from their responsibility for supporting the government's illegal actions, not balanced journalism. Journalists would have been interviewing protesters and broadcasting them unedited, that's not what they're doing. They're constructing a narrative that they had no responsibility for what happened and that there's some possibility that the government wasn't acting illegally when neither of those things was true.
@@perllyngrenn2100
Parody account?
@@perllyngrenn2100 It's ironic that some of them cry media bias unless the media actually shows them the favorable bias that want.
As with all governments "mistakes", better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Can we say class action lawsuit vs liberal and NDP political parties for breach of rights
😖😖😖. I recently drove past a great restaurant that had closed and could not reopen after the covid panic attacks. The location is now a weed shop connected to a bar. 😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖
Cool there's truck!
Will the handlers of the CBC address the issue of their vaudevillean notion of censorship? Ms Tait makes $400 or $600K annually with discretion.
Thank you for Andrew's program. Previously, I tried hard to listen to shows like Power Political, but many experts would discuss without providing any background, which is quite challenging for immigrants whose mother tongue is not English. This program presents viewpoints, backgrounds, and explanations in a clear and concise manner, making it easy to understand.
The CBC have committed proven themselves to be nothing more than cheap paid propagandists without a shred of genuine journalistic integrity left in the organization.
Many million of us will never forgive and forget. On a global scale there are literally hundreds of millions of freedom loving westerners who'll celebrate gleefully when the CBC is defunded and fades away into it's own pathetic and shameful legacy of sold-out irrelevance.
Do not trust anything you read or hear from the CBC...its is government funded propaganda. Listen/ read what they have to say but please for the love of god/s do your own research and get the opposing view 🙏
Please realize that the convoy protestors were standing up against tyranny... and the people in Ottawa that complained and agree with the Trudeau government, had no problem when our rights were trampled on. They had no problem when we were forced to take a experimental "vaccine". They had no problem when we were forced into isolation and forced to wear masks. They only had a problem when their own selfish lives were interrupted.
Please don't trust anything you listen to or read from the CBC, it is government propaganda. Please do your own research and listen to the opposing view points. 🙏

Imagine That! Frida made the wrong judgement call again. She should stick with journalism.
Justice Mosley: bringing back sanity to the Canadian justice system.
Maybe he does not want us to follow SDG # 16 of the UN as Trudeau does, and would prefer CANADA stay in charge of all its laws and Charter Rights. I certainly do.
So at the end of the day, it’s just violate the rights of Canadians and then later on, when a judge decides it was wrong to do so, “we disagree” and no justice to those violated. People lost their homes and businesses, spent time in jail for simply protesting, and there’s no restitution.
The part of being wrong is one issue, the freezing, a bank accounts is another. A huge overage and a fundamental problem. Canadians are very large pacifist, but this is something that should take note of.
Ottawa residents, what was the general opinion of the freedom convoy?
You can hear them all from the NCI recorded documents.
Best thing ever happened. Made Ottawa fun for a change.
Hey if someone wants to put themselves at risk, go right ahead, the trash takes itself out. But calling absolute power for... a noise complaint? Clown behavior.
What are you trying to say here? Honestly no clue.
