Appellate court rules Trudeau had no justification to freeze truckers' bank accounts

If you recall, in 2022, a convoy of Canadian truckers blocked traffic in Ottawa to protest the ongoing Covid mandates of the totalitarian Canadian government: Mandates that were crushing their homes, families, and finances.

The Canadian government, led by former PM Justin Trudeau, responded with force, declaring the assembly dangerous. Here were a few of the "terrorizing" scenes from the truckers that probably scared Trudeau senseless.

Faced with cheerful singing and inflatable bouncy houses, Trudeau had no choice.

He invoked emergency powers to freeze the bank accounts of the truckers, ensuring they couldn't pay their bills or feed their families.

In 2024, a federal court ruled that Trudeau had violated the constitutional rights of Canadians in invoking said powers.

In other words, he had absolutely no authority to financially destroy thousands of peaceful Canadians.

On Friday, an appeals court upheld the ruling.

Faced with the reality that it seriously harmed its countrymen with no legal or moral basis, the government said it was "assessing next steps."

‘Tis an even bet as to whether the UK or Canada will fully collapse first. Of course, we Yanks will not be much behind unless we can flush the likes of California, Minnesota, Illinois, Virginia, Maryland, (and other silly selected DemocRAT states),illegal aliens, a certain ‘religion’, and most of our media. (Gasp, an impossible list. Too many turds, too small of a pipeline.)

“now she works for Ukraine “

Interesting info,

This was wickedness at work, the very spirit of anti-Christ manifesting itself.

Well that was a fast decision….NOT! It would have meant something if they could have figured that out when it happened.
