"Federal Court's Decision on Trudeau's Use of Emergencies Act Sparks Government Appeal and Civil Liberties Victory"
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has announced the government’s intention to appeal the Federal Court ruling that deemed the use of the Emergencies Act, used to disperse Freedom Convoy protestors, unconstitutional. The court found violations of Charter rights and government overreach, prompting criticism from Conservative leaders and the Canadian Constitution Foundation. Despite the ruling, Freeland maintains that the government's use of emergency powers was necessary and will be appealing the decision.
