LeDrew Rant - Illegal Emergencies Act: Trudeau Used It — Carney Promoted the People Behind It

In this LeDrew Rant, Stephen LeDrew reacts to the court rulings that the Trudeau government’s use of the Emergencies Act during the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests was illegal.Both the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal determined the government acted contrary to the law when invoking emergency powers.The Carney Cabinet (full of people Trudeau had appointed as his Ministers) has appealed that decision to its Supreme Court, but this judgement of illegal decision-making stands until, and “if”, reversed by the Supreme Court.But instead of consequences, many of the officials involved in the decision are still in positions of influence — and some have even been promoted.LeDrew questions why the architects of the decision continue to be rewarded by Carney while Canadians affected by the crackdown — including truckers whose bank accounts were frozen and livelihoods damaged — have received no compensation.He also raises the broader question of accountability in government, and whether Canadians should accept a system where illegal actions by political leaders carry no real penalty.Three minutes.
