Judge rules Canada's use of Emergencies Act to end trucker protests unconstitutional

A Canadian court has ruled that Justin Trudeau’s government was not justified in using the Emergencies Act to break up protest blockades, finding the move "unreasonable" and in violation of Canada’s charter of rights and freedoms. The court's decision, which will be appealed by the government, has sparked political controversy and criticism from Trudeau's rivals, with the Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre accusing Trudeau of causing the crisis and violating Charter rights.
