For the record, I am just as supportive of the recent arrest of Palestinian supporters who tried to block a bridge. 

Why ?  They're targeting Canadian Jewish neighbourhoods specifically because of events in Israel.  I don't think that's valid.

It would be like protesting a Mosque due to 9/11.

Oh you SUPPORT the arrests... well ok.  I can't say that but I do understand the rationale....

And yes the freedom fighters... unbelievably they're not consistent in their legal analysis.... their principles seem to be "F*** Trudeau".  They want any action if it hurts him...

Maybe?  Who cares?  Is that illegal now in Trudeau’s Canada?  Probably soon, another emergencies act declaration I’d guess.

Somewhere around eight years ago, Republicans started arguing that if something isn't illegal, it's perfectly fine. And if it's illegal, it doesn't count until there's a conviction in court.
 I wonder what caused them to adopt that position.

University of Ottawa associate professor of criminology Michael Kempa told CTV News the Federal Court decision — unlike that of the Public Order Emergency Commission under Rouleau — is “legally binding.”

“Anywhere we go from here, this sets a legal precedent,” he said. “It does make the government vulnerable.”

Kempa also pointed out similarities between Mosley’s assessment and Rouleau’s, namely that certain municipalities and their law enforcement agencies failed to act to dismantle the protests.

“They did not use the powers that were at their disposal to properly manage the freedom convoy protests, which started off completely legal, and ultimately did spiral into certain problems,” he said. “The difference is Rouleau says that that failure to act justified the federal government stepping in with the Emergencies Act, whereas the Federal Court now says failure to use powers that are on the books is not a reason to invoke the most extreme power in the country, which is the Emergencies Act.”

Feb 6, 2024: today a Justice of the Ontario Superior Court dismissed the 'Anti-SLAPP' motion by the defendants in the 'Freedom Convoy' class action. The Court found the plaintiffs have a "meritorious case" and there is evidence Convoy organizers intended to disrupt daily life in the city indefinitely thru extreme noise, blocking streets etc.

results in the class action lawsuit against 'Freedom Convoy' defendants moving ahead!

A $300-million class-action lawsuit filed against Freedom Convoy protesters, donors and organizers on behalf of downtown Ottawa residents and businesses is moving forward after a judge ruled against a motion filed by the defendants.

Superior Court Justice Calum MacLeod heard arguments in December for and against a motion brought under anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) legislation.
