The Federal Court will not hear challenges against the federal government’s vaccine mandate for air travel after dismissing them as moot.
On Thursday, Associate Chief Justice Jocelyne Gagné granted the federal government’s application to dismiss the case, 10 days before it was scheduled to be argued before the Federal Court.
The court was going to hear challenges filed by several applicants, including former Newfoundland premier Brian Peckford, People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier, and private citizens who were unable to travel by rail or air when the federal vaccine mandate was in effect.
The Trudeau government imposed the mandate by order-in-council in October 2021. It suspended the mandate June 20, but made clear it could be reinstated if the Covid situation in Canada changed.
Canada’s attorney general filed a motion to dismiss the case, arguing that it was moot given the vaccine mandate was no longer in effect.
Lawyers representing those challenging the mandate argued that the government’s own messaging about the potentially temporary suspension made the issue relevant so they wouldn’t need to start from scratch in challenging a future mandate.
Justice Gagné has not yet issued reasons for her decision, but did grant the government’s motion.
Peckford, who’s being represented by lawyer Keith Wilson, says he will be appealing.
“The people lose – the state wins,” Peckford said in an email about the decision.
Justin Trudeau promised the air travel vaccine mandate during last year’s federal election, asserting that the right to be unvaccinated does not entail the right to travel while being unvaccinated.
“If you don’t want to get vaccinated, that’s your choice. But don’t think you can get on a plane or a train beside vaccinated people and put them at risk,” Trudeau said at a campaign rally in Calgary. “We need to be strong in the decisions we’re taking going forward. We need to put people first.”
WHEN (not if) the WEF poodle True-dolt DOES re-instate the restrictions, all those seeking a decision, will have to resubmit. Of course, this will take time and much EXTRA money! All part of the globalists' evil strategy to screw the common man!
As I've said many times: TUCK FRUDEAU!
Yea what a dumb thing to do. It’s moot. Please come back during the next pandemic so we can delay when you actually need a decision. Same crap scotus did for the election scam.
Moot my butt. They have to kill this garbage.
First you haven’t established standing, then you haven’t proven harm, and eventually your issue is ruled as moot.
It appears the judiciary is running about 100 to 1 against the faithful execution of their jobs when the controlling powers want them to suspend justice.
No harm no foul.
According to the judges in Canada.
Which explains a great deal about their legal system.
They weren’t moot when you mandated them.
I hate these mfers.
People have actually died and are still dying because of those mandates.
What’s MOOT about that?
Unle$$ large amounts of Big Pharma cash is involved.
Comply, submission, and obey.
Will not be visiting Canada anytime soon. It is controlled by morons.
If their vaccinated, then what’s the risk? 🤔🤔🤔🤦🤦🤦
This would potentially be a bigger issue than it appears. Cases like this arent just about Canada or the cootie hoax. All other vaccines that cant prove their efficacy at stopping infection and subsequent transmission or may also make the victims more susceptible to other illness, like flu vaccines, also come into question. If the government cant enforce those then neither can school systems or employers. Next people in other countries begin fighting against unnecessary and unproven vaccination and the whole wheel that provides kickbacks to the politicians grinds to a halt.
I don’t think it’ll get that far. Presidementia XiJinBiden and all the K(louse) Schwab sycophants in power in various countries, will bring nuclear war down on our heads. There won’t be enough of us left to worry about vaxxes.
