Ottawa takes Emergencies Act fight to Supreme Court
After two unanimous court losses, Ottawa is now appealing the Emergencies Act ruling to the highest court in the land.
The federal government is heading to the Supreme Court after losing twice over its use of the Emergencies Act during the Freedom Convoy—despite courts ruling the move violated Canadians’ rights.
Canadian Constitution Foundation lawyer Josh Dehaas joins Kris Sims to break down the landmark rulings, what they mean for civil liberties, and why the government is pushing forward anyway.
At the heart of the case: whether Ottawa overstepped by freezing bank accounts and bypassing normal legal safeguards during a political protest.
With the case potentially heading to the Supreme Court, the outcome could define the limits of government power—and your right to protest—for years to come.

The Elbows Up Regime is desperate for a win.
Enter Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Wagner who at the time, certainly made this thoughts known about the Freedom Convoy.
