David Lametti worked to enforce the Emergencies Act to shut down the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest that flooded Ottawa during the peak of COVID-related mandates.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s former justice minister David Lametti has announced he is leaving politics just two days after a court ruled that the Trudeau government was “not justified” in invoking the Emergency Act (EA) against the 2022 Freedom Convoy.
On January 25, Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) and former justice minister David Lametti announced his resignation from Parliament to join a law firm just days after Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley ruled that the enactment of the EA to end the 2022 Freedom Convoy violated Charter rights.
“The last six months have been very difficult,” Lametti told Radio-Canada.
“It is therefore with a certain sadness that I leave a dream position,” Lametti wrote in a letter to his constituents. “I have continued to do my best to fulfill my duties as an MP. It’s been a difficult time on a personal level.”
Lametti was justice minister since 2019 and worked to enforce the EA which was enacted to shut down the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest that flooded Ottawa during the peak of COVID-related mandates. The popular protest featured tens of thousands of Canadians calling for an end to the mandates by camping outside Parliament Hill.
Measures taken under the EA included freezing the bank accounts of Canadians who donated to the protest, an action now deemed unjustified by the court.
During his time in office Lametti helped pass several bills, including pushing for increased euthanasia under Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program and banning so-called “conversion therapy” for gender-confused individuals.
Trudeau had removed Lametti from his position as justice minister during a massive cabinet shakeup in July of 2023. During this turnover, Trudeau removed seven people, including some un-popular COVID-era ministers, from their posts.
Following this, Lametti continued to serve as MP for LaSalle, Émard, Verdun regions in Quebec. He will officially resign from his position on January 31.
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre responded to Lemetti’s resignation, saying, “Trudeau’s former Justice Minister RESIGNS. He leaves behind him a record of Charter violations, censoring free speech, illegal use of the Emergencies Act & crime policies that have unleashed waves of violence.”

More proof Trudeau is not worth the cost and crime.

“More proof Trudeau is not worth the cost and crime,” he concluded.
Lametti’s resignation is not the first piece of drama to flow from the Liberal Party since the Emergencies Act ruling.
Earlier this week, Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) Ken McDonald seemed to call for a review of Trudeau’s leadership, before quickly backtracking the next day.
2025 Federal Election
Conservatives promise to ban firing of Canadian federal workers based on COVID jab status

The Conservative platform also vows that the party will oppose mandatory digital ID systems and a central bank digital currency if elected.
Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party’s 2025 election platform includes a promise to “ban” the firing of any federal worker based “solely” on whether or not they chose to get the COVID shots.
On page 23 of the “Canada First – For A Change” plan, which was released on Tuesday, the promise to protect un-jabbed federal workers is mentioned under “Protect Personal Autonomy, Privacy, and Data Security.”
It promises that a Conservative government will “Ban the dismissal of federal workers based solely on COVID vaccine status.”
The Conservative Party also promises to “Oppose any move toward mandatory digital ID systems” as well as “Prohibit the Bank of Canada from developing or implementing a central bank digital currency.”
In October 2021, the Liberal government of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced unprecedented COVID-19 jab mandates for all federal workers and those in the transportation sector. The government also announced that the unjabbed would no longer be able to travel by air, boat, or train, both domestically and internationally.
This policy resulted in thousands losing their jobs or being placed on leave for non-compliance. It also trapped “unvaccinated” Canadians in the country.
COVID jab mandates, which also came from provincial governments with the support of the federal government, split Canadian society. The shots have been linked to a multitude of negative and often severe side effects, such as death, including in children.
Many recent rulings have gone in favor of those who chose not to get the shots and were fired as a result, such as an arbitrator ruling that one of the nation’s leading hospitals in Ontario must compensate 82 healthcare workers terminated after refusing to get the jabs.
Beyond health concerns, many Canadians, especially Catholics, opposed the injections on moral grounds because of their link to fetal cell lines derived from the tissue of aborted babies.

As millions of Americans anxiously await action from the new HHS leadership against the COVID-19 mRNA injections—injected into over 9 million children this year—Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has finally gone publicly on the offensive:
Let’s go over each key point made by RFK Jr.:
The recommendation for children was always dubious. It was dubious because kids had almost no risk for COVID-19. Certain kids that had very profound morbidities may have a slight risk. Most kids don’t.
In the largest review to date on myocarditis following SARS-CoV-2 infection vs. COVID-19 vaccination, Mead et al found that vaccine-induced myocarditis is not only significantly more common but also more severe—particularly in children and young males. Our findings make clear that the risks of the shots overwhelmingly outweigh any theoretical benefit:
 |
The OpenSAFELY study included more than 1 million adolescents and children and found that myocarditis was documented ONLY in COVID-19 vaccinated groups and NOT after COVID-19 infection. There were NO COVID-19-related deaths in any group. A&E attendance and unplanned hospitalization were higher after first vaccination compared to unvaccinated groups:
 |
So why are we giving this to tens of millions of kids when the vaccine itself does have profound risk? We’ve seen huge associations of myocarditis and pericarditis with strokes, with other injuries, with neurological injuries.
The two largest COVID-19 vaccine safety studies ever conducted, involving 99 million (Faksova et al) and 85 million people (Raheleh et al), confirm RFK Jr.’s concerns, documenting significantly increased risks of serious adverse events following vaccination, including:
- Myocarditis (+510% after second dose)
- Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (+278% after first dose)
- Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (+223% after first dose)
- Guillain-Barré Syndrome (+149% after first dose)
- Heart Attack (+286% after second dose)
- Stroke (+240% after first dose)
- Coronary Artery Disease (+244% after second dose)
- Cardiac Arrhythmia (+199% after first dose)
 |
And this was clear even in the clinical data that came out of Pfizer. There were actually more deaths. There were about 23% more deaths in the vaccine group than the placebo group. We need to ask questions and we need to consult with parents.
Actually, according to the Pfizer’s clinical trial data, there were 43% more deaths in the vaccine group compared to the placebo group when post-unblinding deaths are included:
 |
We need to give people informed consent, and we shouldn’t be making recommendations that are not good for the population.
Public acknowledgment of the grave harms of COVID-19 vaccines signals that real action is right around the corner. However, we must hope that action is taken for ALL age groups, as no one is spared from their life-reducing effects:
Alessandria et al (n=290,727, age > 10 years): People vaccinated with 2 doses lost 37% of life expectancy compared to the unvaccinated population during follow-up.
