The Liberal government unreasonably invoked the Emergencies Act to clear the convoy protests that gridlocked the capital city and border points nearly four years ago, the Federal Court of Appeal ruled on Friday.

The court dismissed the government's appeal of a 2024 ruling which deemed former prime minister Justin Trudeau's decision to use the legislation unlawful and infringed on protesters' Charter rights.

"As disturbing and disruptive the blockades and the convoy protests in Ottawa could be, they fell well short of a threat to national security," wrote the three judges on the appeal court.

They were shitting on people's lawns, being violent, honking at all hours of the day.

I support their right to protest, clogging up the whole city at all 14 hours a day for weeks on end should have been dealt with by bylaw.

Also fuck the convoy, buggoted, anti science peices of shit.
