Judge starts with context about what the Freedom Convoy is.

This is important because as we know, everyone has a different view of what the Freedom was. But in this ruling there can only how set of facts defining the Freedom Convoy.

She goes on to explain that the Charter allows protesting, as long it’s not an unlawful act.

She confirms that Tamara and Chris always encouraged peaceful actions and that it was a grassroots movement that grew organically.

She acknowledged that there was disruption on Ottawa and said its citizens and that downtown was jammed, loud and busy.

Police tried to manage the situation and the traffic, but they were overwhelmed as the situation grew.

So far sounds like life in Ottawa was inconvenient, not that it was a criminal endeavour. Yet municipally, provincially and federally emergencies were invoked.

Then Tamara and Chris were arrested.

Question for today, did Tamara and Chris cause or counsel criminal action? Carter application is dismissed.

A Carter application is where the Crown attempts to link the charges of one accused with the other by arguing they conspired together, so evidence against one applies to both, based on R v. Carter (1982).

The judge rejected the application and it forces the Crown to prove each person’s guilt separately.

Over the summer, Premier Smith deferred almost all Covid-related questions from the public, suggesting we wait for Dr. Davidson's report to be finished. It looks like the report was finally released to the public today, but with no fanfare from the Alberta government.

Our government was not quiet about imposing Covid mandates and draconian measures, coercing, shaming, and incentivizing citizens to behave a certain way. Moreover, their measures and mandates caused actual harms to their citizens. Businesses were impacts by closure mandates, and many Albertans are suffering from vaccine related health issues. Yet, now, without any recognition or acknowledgment of the impact and harms, the government of Alberta quietly released this report about how the Covid crisis was managed.

I will be hosting a Twitter Space today with some guests to go over this important document. Please take the time to look through it.

It will take some time to fully digest and understand this, but one thing is for sure: if you want to make sure this never happens again, you are going to have to use your voice.

I find myself at the emergency room in Edmonton, surrounded by the stark failures of our Canadian healthcare system, a sight that should compel us all to reflect with deep concern.

This crisis is not just a matter of resource shortages; it is a symptom of deeper, systemic flaws that demand urgent attention.

The government's responses appear limited to either overlooking the problem, injecting funds, or merely checking boxes, none of which address the underlying systemic issues while the public continues to suffer.

I struggle to understand how the medical profession and public health officials allowed this deterioration to unfold. Witnessing this ongoing breakdown, collecting a paycheck, and believing it constitutes helping others is beyond my comprehension.

If those within the public healthcare system truly prioritized public welfare over personal interests, we wouldn't find ourselves in this dire predicament. Their negligence and complacency in the face of mounting evidence have exacerbated this crisis. Public health officials and healthcare professionals in Canada must be held accountable for their role in allowing this situation to escalate.

It is time to end the stigmatization of those who question the efficacy of our failing public system. Engaging in sincere discussions about the health of our nation and its people is crucial.

And please spare me the reminder that healthcare falls under provincial jurisdiction. While I acknowledge this constitutional fact, the widespread nature of this issue across the country signifies that it is not solely attributable to one province's mismanagement of healthcare.

Please share your healthcare stories in the comments below. Ps. Thanks for the concern. I am not here for myself. ❤️

“Nature outwits science all the time… Nature chuckles at our incompetence and shows us how it’s done… As Napoleon Bonaparte is supposed to have said, wars happen when the government tells you who the enemy is; revolutions happen when you figure it out for yourselves.”

‼️EXCELLENT ARTICLE by John Michael Greer ‘We must become Chernobyl wolves Davos men are hilariously incompetent’

“What The Limits to Growth showed is that if economic growth is pursued far enough, the costs of growth rise faster than the benefits and force the global economy to its knees. Global bureaucracies can no more change that than they can amend the law of gravity. In fact, as the costs of growth begin to bite, one of the few options that offers any hope for improving conditions is to cut back sharply on bureaucracies of all kinds, since bureaucracy consumes resources and energy, and produces remarkably little in return.

A viable world on the far side of peak growth is not, therefore, a world of global managers. It’s a world where local, community-scale politics and economics replace the hugely expensive global systems that sprang up during the last extravagant blowoff of the age of unchecked growth.

unherd.com/2024/04/we-mus… “That the world of the future will inevitably have less room for global management is something that would-be global managers can’t even begin to conceive. Yet the system they dream of running is stunningly incompetent. Take climate change, for instance. For decades now, doing something about climate change has been one of the central projects of the Davos set. But none of their conferences and loudly praised international agreements have had any measurable effect on the rate at which CO2 gets dumped into the atmosphere. If this is the best that global management can do, the world is better off without them.

The fact that our current caste of global managers has fallen into such stupidities goes a long way, I think, to explaining their failure to manage the world.

How can these two statements from Health Canada be true at the same time?

“Only vaccines that meet Health Canada's regulatory requirements for safety, effectiveness and quality are approved for use in Canada. COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of severe illness, death and post COVID-19 condition (long COVID).” - Currently on Health Canada’s Website (link: )

And

“At the time of initial authorization of the first COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech) in December 2020, there was no reported evidence on the efficacy of the authorized COVID-19 vaccine to prevent asymptomatic infection, to reduce viral shedding, or to prevent transmission.” - Public Health Agency of Canada February 5, 2024 (link: )

We will eventually find out via the Sakamoto Lawsuit which alleges as follows:

“3. Health Canada negligently approved the Covid Vaccines under an expedited process which allowed manufacturers to apply for authorization for the sale and distribution of Covid Vaccines without the completion of all long-term safety studies or commitment to review new evidence about the Covid Vaccine as it become available, much less demonstrate that the Covid Vaccines were “safe and effective” for the general population.

4. By contrast, the Defendants knew, or ought to have known, that Covid Vaccines were neither safe or effective. The Defendants knew of reports of injury and harms caused by the Covid Vaccines and had access to information from the vaccine manufacturers stating the Covid Vaccines were not warranted for safety. Information from the vaccine manufacturers demonstrated various harms and injuries expected from the Covid Vaccines, yet the Defendants:
a. Never disclosed this information to the general public or to physicians, and censored and suppressed information relating to the adverse events and injuries from the public;
b. Continued to market, promote and distribute the Covid Vaccines as a “safe and effective” vaccine for the SARS-CoV-2 virus or Covid-19 (“Covid”); and
c. Coerced and incentivised the public to take the Covid Vaccines while deliberately withholding relevant safety information about the Covid Vaccines which interfered with the public’s ability to exercise their right to full and informed consent to medical treatment.

5. The Defendants held themselves out as public health experts, reporting on behalf of health experts and public health doctors thereby establishing a relationship of trust between themselves and the public during the Covid pandemic at a time when the public was vulnerable, and the Defendants knew or ought to have known that the public would be relying on their information for their health, safety and protection. In public appeals meant to be relied on, the Chief Medical Officer of Health of Alberta routinely referred to all Albertans as her “patients” and issued 113 public health orders known as Chief Medical Officer of Health Orders (“CMOH Orders”) ultra vires to Section 29.(2.1) of the Public Health Act, RSA 2000, c P-37 (the “Public Health Act”) which included restrictions to Albertans not vaccinated for Covid. On July 31, 2023, the Alberta Court of King’s Bench determined that the CMOH Orders were ultra vires the Public Health Act.

6. The Defendants misrepresented the safety and efficacy of the Covid Vaccines and encouraged, and even implored, the public to trust the Defendants for their health, safety and protection. Further, the Defendants censored and suppressed information relating to the adverse events and injuries from the Covid Vaccines to influence public confidence in the Covid Vaccines and maintain trust in the public health authorities. The collective conduct of the Defendants to keep this information suppressed from the public in a manner which amounted to a conspiracy to commit assault and battery which deliberately interfered with the public’s ability to exercise their right to informed consent to medical treatment.

7. The Defendants knew, or ought to have known, that the Covid Vaccines would cause damage to the public, including the Plaintiff, and the Defendants, conspired to commit assault and battery, and failed to take adequate measures, or any measures, to prevent harm to the public, including the Plaintiff.

8. The Plaintiff alleges that the Defendants acted negligently, breached their public duty, or in the alternative made representations in furtherance of a conspiracy to commit assault and battery and committed malfeasance in public office in doing so.”

🚨MEDIA RELEASE🚨

Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Federal and Provincial Government for Misinformation and Negligence about risk and dangers of Covid-19 Vaccines

A class action lawsuit has been filed by Rath & Company on behalf of Albertans harmed by the Covid-19 vaccines (the “Covid Vaccines”). This legal action is centered around allegations of unlawful, negligent, inadequate, improper, unfair, and deceptive practices by the Defendants in relation to the warning, marketing, promotion, and distribution of the Covid Vaccines.

Carrie Sakamoto who filed the claim individually last year, is listed as class representative for the proposed class action lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in the Court of King’s Bench in Lethbridge, Alberta, against the Government of Canada and Province of Alberta (the “Defendants”). The lawsuit claims that the Defendants were negligent, provided information they knew to be false and incomplete, and that they censored and suppressed truthful and reliable information about vaccine injuries thereby vitiating informed consent and causing harm to Ms. Sakamoto and many others in Alberta. The lawsuit goes on to allege misfeasance in public office and conspiracy to commit assault and battery on the public.

Jeffrey Rath, lead counsel on the case, says: “I think Canadians will be shocked to learn about the rushed changes to safety standard for the Covid Vaccines which removed the requirement for the Covid Vaccines to be either “safe or effective” while, at the same time, the Defendants promoted, distributed, and marketed the Covid Vaccines as “safe and effective” to the public. And the Defendants didn’t stop there, they went further by coercion the public to take the Covid Vaccines by stripping rights from them or providing financial incentives for taking the Covid Vaccines. What does that do for informed consent? Does this amount to a conspiracy to commit assault and battery on the public? These are questions that we are asking the court to determine. And, I think, the public deserves some answers.”

“The Government of Canada has already conceded, to the Public Accounts Committee, that the contracts with the manufacturers were rushed, did not contain the normal standards, and provided additional indemnities in favour of the manufacturers,” Eva. Chipiuk co-counsel on the case goes on to say. “The Defendants held themselves out as public health experts and gave medical advice to the public at large. They intentionally set out to build a relationship of trust between themselves and the public during the pandemic at a time when they knew the public was vulnerable and afraid. They knew or ought to have known that the public would be relying on their information for their health, safety and protection.”

📣 NEWS RELEASE 📣

Rath & Company Launches Class Action Lawsuit Against Alberta Government for
COVID-19 Business Restrictions
 
Rath & Company has launched a class action lawsuit against the Province of Alberta on behalf of business owners in Alberta who faced operational restrictions due to, now deemed illegal, Public Health Orders. This lawsuit follows the recent Ingram Decision by the Calgary Court of King's Bench, which declared that all of Dr. Hinshaw’s Public Health Orders were ultra vires, in other words illegal or not lawfully enacted. The Ingram Decision has opened the door for affected business owners to seek damages for the financial losses incurred due to the restrictions imposed by these unlawful Public Health Orders.

The lawsuit names Rebecca Ingram and Chris Scott as representative plaintiffs who suffered significant financial harm due to Dr. Hinshaw’s Public Health Orders. On February 7, 2024, the parties attended their first case conference with Justice Feasby of the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta to establish the next steps. The lawyers for the Province of Alberta made it clear that they intend to oppose the class action certification. Premier Smith has yet to comment on the government opposition to compensate individual business owners impacted by Dr. Hinshaw’s unlawful Public Health Orders.

“This marks the first of many procedural and substantive steps. This is an important case about government actions and overreach during a time when business owners were unlawfully mandated to close their businesses at moments notice. It will give Albertans the opportunity to hold the Alberta government accountable and seek fair compensation on behalf of the many businesses impacted by Deena Hinshaw’s many unlawful decisions,” said lead counsel Jeffrey Rath.

The class action represents all impacted Alberta business owners. If you have been adversely affected and wish to join this class action lawsuit, please register by completing the online form at .

Should the Court grant permission for this action to proceed as a "Class Action" (also known as "Certification"), you may qualify as a class member whether or not you have registered.

“In what world is it fair for small business owners to bear the financial brunt for the benefit of the entire province? Our hope is that this lawsuit brings justice to the affected business owners who suffered significant hardship and losses without justification or consideration by the province's harsh and unilateral actions,” Mr. Rath continued.rathandcompany.com/business-class… The Ingram Decision:

“[2] I find that the impugned Orders were ultra vires the Public Health Act.

[3] The Public Health Act requires that decisions with respect to public health orders must be made by the CMOH, or her statutorily- authorized delegate. The final decisions implemented by the impugned Orders in this case were made by the cabinet of the government of Alberta or by committees of cabinet. While the CMOH made recommendations and implemented the decisions of the cabinet and committees through the impugned Orders, she deferred the final decision making to cabinet.

[4] Although, Dr. Hinshaw was maligned during the pandemic and afterwards as the symbol of the restrictions, she was not in fact the final decision-maker. The delegation of her final decision-making authority to cabinet is not permitted by section 29 of the Public Health Act.”

Federal Court of Appeal is now in session on the Federal Travel Ban Appeal on the mootness issue.

Follow this link to observe it now: cas-satj.zoom.us/webinar/regist… There are 3 Federal Court of Appeal judges and have said that they are ready to hear argument on the mootness issue. Sam Presvelos starts with his argument saying this was one of the most divisive policies in the Country and was used as a campaign tool by Justin Trudeau.

The utter hypocrisy of PMJT and the current federal government summarized in one paragraph:

“But a government cannot claim to care about the vulnerable or about freedom while freezing bank accounts that made it harder for some families to buy groceries or make car payments,  as Trudeau’s government did. Nor can the government claim to care about the vulnerable or freedom, while trying to regulate speech on the internet, which could conveniently help to stifle criticism of the government.”

#Canada deserves better.

“About the truckers, Trudeau said, “We are seeing activity that is a threat to our democracy, and that is undermining the public’s trust in our institutions.” Trudeau, one day later, compared the truckers to Nazis and American racial segregationists. “Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas,” he said. “They can stand with people who wave the Confederate flag.”

It should not have to be said, but it does: Trudeau had zero evidence then, and none today, that the truckers were racists or Nazis.”

🚨Should the House of Commons Hear a Vote of No Confidence ASAP?🚨

The House of Commons serves as an essential platform for engaging in democratic processes and representing the concerns of Canadians. A confidence motion asks all Members of Parliament to vote on whether or not they have confidence in the incumbent Prime Minister and their party.

Numerous instances have demonstrated a lack of transparency and accountability by the current federal government. These actions have caused Canadians to lose trust in their public institutions and elected officials. Ordinary Canadians across the country have stated that they cannot endure another two years with this government at the helm.

The recent invitation of a SS Nazi to be applauded in the House of Commons has reverberated around the world, causing international embarrassment for Canada. Instead of owning up to the incident, the government tried to sweep it under the rug.

This incident, along with other concerning acts, has undermined the credibility of our government and its ability to effectively represent and lead the people of Canada. It is imperative that we restore faith in our institutions and ensure that elected officials are held accountable for their actions.

"The trust of Canadians will also rest on the accountability of our government." - @JustinTrudeau

The time has come to let Canadians decide.

#Canada, should a vote of no confidence be held in the House of Commons ASAP?

Excellent article makes you think twice about whether those in government are serving the public or their own self-interest👇

“The economist James M. Buchanan received a Nobel Prize for his pioneering work that demonstrated a simple idea: Public officials tend to arrive at decisions based on self-interest and incentives, just like everyone else. 

There’s a common assumption that politicians and bureaucrats make decisions differently than the rest of us, that they’re working for “the common good.” But Buchanan understood—and persuasively showed—that humans don’t become altruistic angels simply because they’ve accepted a government job. They continue to serve their private interests in public office, which should not surprise us since all action is individual action… “Of course, those in government are loath to admit that anything as crass as “private interests” could motivate their thinking. Indeed, their power (and political future) rests on the idea that they are serving interests far greater than themselves.
