A court victory - but is it hollow? No tyrant, no public officials will ever be punished.
No penalties or accountability means that our rulers will not fear to abuse us again.
Even now they are carefully crafting new legislation to make their next oppression more lawful.
I was in Ottawa during the protests, and later at the public inquiry. I saw ordinary Canadians do something not everyone is willing — or able — to do: stand up to government overreach when it mattered most.
The Federal Court of Appeal decision affirms why that matters to a democracy. Free societies depend on citizens who are prepared to say “no” when power exceeds its limits. Not everyone can take that stand, but we should be proud of those who did.
What I witnessed were not extremists, but patriots — people who faced pressure, force, and condemnation from an increasingly authoritarian government. Today, the Court reminded us that democracy survives because some are willing to defend it.

Last Friday, the Federal Court of Appeal released one of the most significant constitutional decisions in decades.
The Court confirmed that the federal government’s February 14, 2022 invocation of the Emergencies Act was unlawful, that statutory thresholds were not met, and that fundamental Charter rights including freedom of expression, protection against unreasonable search and seizure, were violated.
It also held that the freezing of Canadians’ bank accounts was unlawful and occurred without the constitutional safeguards required in a free and democratic society.
This is now the second Canadian court to reach the same conclusion. The rule of law has spoken clearly. Yet there has been no public acknowledgement, apology, or explanation from the federal government.
In a Westminster parliamentary democracy, findings of this gravity engage the constitutional convention of Ministerial Responsibility. That principle holds that when ministers authorize unlawful action or preside over serious failures of governance, they are expected to accept responsibility, including resignation from Cabinet.
Seven members of the current Cabinet participated in the February 14, 2022 decision. Respect for constitutional norms and democratic accountability now requires that they resign from Cabinet:
- Dominic LeBlanc
- Mélanie Joly
- François-Philippe Champagne
- Anita Anand
- Patty Hajdu
- Marc Miller
- Sean Fraser
Canada's democracy depends not only on the exercise of power, but on the willingness to relinquish it when the law has been breached.

Canadian freedom lawyer John Carpay gives an informative update, 20 June 2024:
The Alberta Law Society has commenced a brand new prosecution against me, over events that happened three years ago and that have already been fully dealt with by the Manitoba Law Society.
During the era of lockdowns and vaccine passports, I was disgusted by the hypocrisy of politicians and bureaucrats who violated Covid rules, all while punishing – even jailing – others who violated Covid rules. Politicians and government health officials across Canada were breaking the very rules that they were imposing on Canadians.
I had heard rumours about Manitoba’s premier, chief health officer and chief judge breaking Covid rules. In 2021, I hired a private investigator to see if these rumours about these three individuals were true. I was subjected to more than two years of disciplinary proceedings at the hands of the Manitoba Law Society. I was also jailed for 23 hours as part of a criminal prosecution which several lawyers (including three Crown Prosecutors) have told me was baseless and politically motivated.
In 2021, when the Alberta Law Society received a complaint against me (about the surveillance of government officials in Manitoba), the Alberta Law Society told the complainant that it had delegated disciplinary matters to the Manitoba Law Society. The Alberta Law Society told the complainant that it was closing its file, and that the Manitoba Law Society had exclusive jurisdiction.
Relying on this clear and unequivocal commitment from the Alberta Law Society, and believing that the only disciplinary proceedings would be the ones that I faced in Manitoba, I agreed to a lifetime ban on practicing law in Manitoba. I also paid $5,000 to the Manitoba Law Society.
After the Manitoba Law Society disciplinary proceedings had concluded, and after the Crown had stayed the criminal charges (to which I did not plead guilty), I tendered my resignation to the Alberta Law Society in December 2023.
One does not need to be a lawyer, or a member of any law society, in order to advocate for the Charter rights and freedoms of all Canadians.
Sadly, the Alberta Law Society now refuses to accept my resignation, and has instead commenced a brand new prosecution against me, over the same issues already dealt with by the Manitoba Law Society.
The Alberta Law Society is violating its written commitment to me, abusing its power, and making very poor use of the mandatory membership fees that Alberta lawyers are required to pay to the Alberta Law Society each year.
I am bearing the costs of paying for my own legal defence. No Justice Centre funds have been expended or will be expended in respect of this matter. I am extremely grateful for the encouragement and financial assistance which I have personally received from good people who have supported me throughout 2023, as I defended myself against criminal charges which lawyers have described to me as baseless, malicious and politically motivated.
I now seek to raise $25,000 to pay for legal representation, to deal with this brand new prosecution by the Alberta Law Society.
For the last 25 years, I’ve dedicated my legal career to defending the Charter rights and freedoms of all Canadians. I am covering all of my legal costs personally. When the current legal matters with the Alberta Law Society are concluded, I will shut down this GiveSendGo website. If there are any excess funds raised for my legal defence, I will donate them to the Justice Centre.
I will continue to defend freedom in Canada vigorously and without apology.
Will you make a contribution towards my legal defence?
With gratitude,
John Carpay, B.A., LL.B.

Do the tetanus vaccines used in the United States stop infection and transmission of the tetanus bacterium?
Answer: No. First, as explained by the CDC: “Tetanus ... does not spread from person to person.”* Thus, a vaccine cannot prevent transmission of something that is not transmitted person to person.
Second, it is a toxoid vaccine, which means each vaccine vial contains antigens to a toxin sometimes released by the tetanus bacterium but does not include any antigens to the tetanus bacterium itself. This means that it does not create any immunity to the tetanus bacterium and, at best, may create some level of immunity to a toxin this bacterium sometimes releases.
In any event, any immunity from the tetanus vaccine wanes rapidly -- even after six doses in childhood! -- which is why the CDC recommends revaccination every 10 years during adulthood. (It is also noteworthy that according to the CDC, at least 37% of adults do not follow this schedule.)**
So, does that mean inactivated polio vaccines, pertussis vaccines, meningococcal vaccines, and tetanus vaccines are not “vaccines”? (see prior posts regarding each of these vaccines)
Sources:
*cdc.gov/tetanus/about/index.…
**cdc.gov/vaccines/imz-manager…; cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/i…
Btw, the clinical trials for DTaP vaccines (which includes the tetanus vaccine), injected into babies at 2, 4, 6 and 15 months and again at 4 years of age, show that these vaccines were never properly safety tested prior to licensure.
--Infanrix (GSK) licensed for babies based on trials with no placebo control (DTP vaccine used as a control) & up to 30 days of safety review after injection.
--Daptacel (Sanofi) licensed for babies based on trials with no placebo control (DT or DTP vaccine used as control) & 2 months of safety review after injection except one trial which was 6 months with no control, 1,454 children and “[w]ithin 30 days following any dose of DAPTACEL, 3.9% subjects reported at least one serious adverse event.”
Note that DTP vaccine (used as the control in DTaP vaccine trials) was not tested in a placebo-controlled trial and studies roundly show DTP vaccine increases overall mortality, see icandecide.org/wp-content/up……

NEW: Today's CORRELATION report by @josephmhickey and @denisrancourt proves that modeling claims by FISMAN ET AL. - based on an ad hoc mathematical construction (ψ) - that unvaccinated people contribute disproportionately (ψ-fold) to the infection risk of vaccinated people are rigorously incorrect. The false claims have a demonstrated potential to cause harm by encouraging overly aggressive public health policies and interventions.
The incorrect construct ψ was first introduced and applied by Fisman et al. in an April 2022 article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal and repeated by Fisman et al. in an April 2024 article in PLOS ONE.
Rancourt and Hickey have written to the editors of PLOS ONE alerting them of the errors in the paper that could cause harm if left uncorrected.

🚨BREAKING OTTAWA POLICE GRUS CASE🚨
Sources confirm that @OttawaPolice cancelled renting a larger venue for the Disciplinary Hearing for Detective Helen Grus. The hearing will remain at the tiny Kanata 20-seat boardroom.
OPS Professional Standards Unit cancelled the conference centre booking and informed OPS Media Relations on Wednesday May 8, 2024. The police union and all involved persons received a confirming email early Thursday morning.
As of Saturday May 11th at 7:30pm Eastern, the Ottawa Police website still (incorrectly) advises that the Grus Hearing will take place at the San Marco Event & Conference Centre in Ottawa city.
In a series of emails with OPS Media Relations ending Monday May 6th I asked how large a room had been rented (the venue has rooms holding 50, 100, 200). OPS Media Relations advised that the room capacity was still being worked out.
I advised OPS Media Relations...
"Detective Grus will testify in her own defense on Monday, May 27, 2024. I'm going to take a more formal survey but I would estimate that at least 100+ citizens plus journalists will be attending the first day of her testimony.
The March 25th hearing all the way out in Kanata saw about 50 people wanting to occupy the 20 public seats at that venue. The May hearing is in Ottawa, convenient to public transit, and features Detective Grus testifying - so I believe 100 people is not a stretch. It might even be more.
Further - I've been approached to do a story concerning a small gathering on Mother's Day on Parliament Hill to show support for Detective Grus and to make people aware of the upcoming hearing. There is a rumour that a few MPs might attend.
As you might know, on March 14, 2024, MP Cathy Wagantall (Saskatchewan) placed a question on the Parliamentary Order Paper about the Detective Grus case (Q-2433). This again shows increasing public interest in the case - so OPS might want to plan for larger numbers than previously seen at the hearing days.
I'll let you know the results of my survey and calls during the coming weekend to see if we might better be able to predict the attendance."
On Monday May 6th I advised OPS Media Relations of the results of my survey and provided my estimate of the attendance as follows...
"Update on the estimate for audience size at the Detective Grus hearing.
I put up a poll only for my readers on X-Twitter...
teapaw.org/DonaldBestCA/sta…
I asked my readers to be serious and not boost the numbers - and it looks like they stayed true to my request.
As of 1:37pm Monday there were 454 votes with 8.6% (39 readers) saying they will 100% be attending, and 4.8% (22) saying they will 'probably' attend with an 80% chance.
The other interesting event during the poll was that about 30 of the 'will 100% attend' readers voted on the first day of the poll - Friday, with the others trickling in over the weekend even though the numbers of voters significantly increased over the weekend.
Again making me think that the people who indicated they will attend, are probably serious.
Don't forget - this is only a poll of my readers.
Further I know that many of the people who attended the Grus Hearing in Kanata are NOT my readers or subscribers.
So if we ignore all the poll responses except the 39, and add about 12 journalists who I know will be attending (True North, Rebel News, Western Standard, The Lavigne Show, and a host of other independents including myself) - that puts us way over 50+ attending just from my Twitter readers and my media friends.
That's without the Legacy Media (CBC, Post Media Group, - Newsweek is coming - and others), plus the Trials officer, prosecution, defense team, witnesses and friends / family / colleagues - so it is obvious that a 50 seat venue would be way too small.
With the availability of public transit, Detective Grus testifying herself, public interest from at least two MPs who have commented on the case, and increasing media attention in the next few weeks - I would conservatively estimate that the hearing room will have to accommodate over 100+ public and media - plus the involved persons themselves (Hearing officer, reporter, defense, accused, prosecution, police prosecution team, witnesses etc).
Perhaps the numbers might change after Detective Grus testifies and the week progresses - but Monday May 27th will be huge.
I don't know if the venue has moveable walls that might accommodate an overflow by being able to enlarge the room at the last minute - but if so OPS might want to consider that factor.
ALSO - over 300+ hundred of my readers indicated that they would watch the hearing if it were to be broadcast on the internet.
The Hearing Officer's and OPS statements that broadcasting the hearing is technically impossible were totally without credibility - and everybody knows it.
For OPS to state that a decision was made to not broadcast the Grus Hearing for policy reasons, cost, or just an aversion to broadcasting would have at least been honest and credible - even if unpopular.
But for the Hearing Officer and OPS to state that the technology is not available is absurd and reflects poorly on the OPS."
Will the Grus Hearing be Broadcast on the Internet?
I've just written to OPS Media Relations (Saturday May 11, 2024) to ask if the Grus hearing will be live broadcast on the Internet.
I'll let my readers know when I receive an answer (likely on Monday)

🚨BREAKING NOW🚨 Ottawa Police move Detective Helen Grus Disciplinary Hearing to larger venue in Ottawa.
As a result of public interest and demand the May 27-31, 2024 Hearing will take place at the San Marco Event & Conference Centre - 215 Preston St. Ottawa.
The defense will launch its case on Monday May 27, 2024. It is expected that Detective Grus will be the first witness.
The last hearing date of March 25, 2024 was a public relations disaster where the police turned away dozens of interested spectators and threatened to tow their vehicles.
Several retired RCMP & OPP police officers publicly chastised the @OttawaPolice officers in the lobby of the Kanata facility where the hearing was held. That police facility had only 20 seats available for the public and media.
The San Marco Centre website states that it offers conference rooms with capacities from 50 to 200. I've just written the Ottawa Police Media Unit and asked the capacity of the Hearing room. I'll update you as I know the details.
Firstly - kudos to the Ottawa Police for FINALLY recognizing the extensive public interest in the Detective Grus case.
That said, OPS Media Relations inform me that the hearing will NOT be publicly broadcast on the internet and that the police will NOT provide a separate section and reservations for news media.
I'm traveling from Toronto to Ottawa to cover the hearing and other journalists are attending from as far away as Alberta. If the police will not guarantee seats to journalists, it is my hope that good citizens might yield their seats if necessary. Several people did this on March 25, 2024 to allow Matthew Horwood and other journalists to attend.
It is despicable that the Ottawa Police will not set aside reserved seats for journalists at this important hearing.
But... hey... that's a strategy, not an accident.
More information as soon as I have it.
Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus is charged with ‘Discreditable Conduct’ under the Ontario Police Services Act for conducting “unauthorized” investigations into the sudden deaths of nine infants. Detective Grus was investigating any potential connection between the vaccination status of the mothers and the sudden deaths of breastfeeding babies.

BREAKING: MP @ColinCarrieCPC calls out Trudeau for vaccine mandates — says PM created an identifiable minority group then did everything in his government power to punish them.
"No would-be globalist government would be complete without trampling on fundamental human rights. Remember the lockdown Mr. Speaker, the destruction of small Canadian businesses, and vaccine mandates. The Prime Minister gleefully and enthusiastically created an identifiable minority group and then proceeded to dehumanize, isolate and bankrupt them. He used all government powers to restrict their participation in Canadian life: no travel, no restaurants and no church. We had to sign up for vaccine passports. We were told to do what he said."

Bravo Bernard!
You are a great fighter for our freedom!
I am pleased to announce today that I represented my parents at an Appeal for charges related to the Quarantine Act. In September of 2022, they were both given 2 tickets, one was for Arrive Can and the other was for no COVID Test.
The tickets they received totaled over $20,000. ($10,000 each).
Today we had the charges reduced to $500 each.
We could have gone and asked for a "new trial" today and most likely had the charges dropped but this road would have cost more and wasted more valuable time in having the charges dropped than the reduced $500 fines.
