In a recent judicial review released on Tuesday, a federal court in Canada has deemed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's invocation of the Emergencies Act against protesters in 2022 as unconstitutional. The ruling by Justice Mosley stated that there was no national emergency justifying the implementation of the Act, rendering the decision unreasonable.

The court's decision comes as a victory for advocacy groups such as the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CFF) and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA), who had raised the case before the court. They celebrated Mosley's ruling, which contradicted a previous federal court ruling that had deemed Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act as justified.

According to The Washington Post, participants of the "Freedom Convoy" were confronted, arrested, and experienced additional repercussions such as frozen bank accounts and towed vehicles after Trudeau implemented the Emergencies Act.

Despite the ruling, the Canadian government plans to appeal Mosley's decision, arguing that the Act was implemented due to a threat to the country's national security. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland expressed the difficulty of the decision but remained convinced that it was the right course of action, adding that it was taken seriously after careful deliberation.

Justin Trudeau's popularity among the Canadian public remains low, with a disapproval rating of 64%, according to the Angus Reid Institute. While a majority of Canadians believe he should resign in 2024, Trudeau has not announced any plans to do so and has previously rejected the idea, as reported by Ipsos.

The Canadian foreign ministry has not provided an immediate response or comment regarding the court's ruling.

It is worth noting that the Canadian government implemented the Emergencies Act against protesters in 2022, considering it necessary at the time. However, this recent court ruling raises concerns about the constitutionality and justification of such actions.
