Protests are done. Covid is endemic. This is what is really behind Canada’s Emergency Measures Act

Canada’s MP’s have given approval to the Emergency Measures Act.  The federal government has sweeping powers to kill any protest it wishes. As harsh as that sounds a much more powerful tool has also been officially approved.  The federal government can now literally starve to death any Canadian who dares to oppose the government mandates on vaccination by freezing their bank accounts so they will not be able to purchase, anything.

Over the last week, police officers were bused or perhaps flown into Ottawa to crack down on the flag waving, horn beeping hordes who were enjoying themselves at the expense of the eardrums of many in downtown Ottawa.  This Parliament Hill protest was the last of three which were cited as “THE” reason for the invocation of the Emergency Measures Act.  The blockade protest at Windsor was ended before the Emergency Measures Act was even invoked.  The blockade protest at Coutts shut down when organizers became concerned it might turn violent.  The Ottawa protest lasted a few more days before it wrapped up over this weekend.  In other words, even if one agreed these measures were necessary, they certainly aren’t anymore.

So why was the vote on the EMA even necessary?  The protest blockades cited as the reason for the invocation have ended. The omicron virus has effectively turned the pandemic into an endemic all over the world.  So what is this all about?

Could it be that the EMA is not really about protests, or even Covid-19?  That certainly sounds like a conspiracy theory to most Canadians, but there are a few million now (and the number grows daily) who have been seeking to inform themselves beyond what they’re being told by the legacy media. What a few million Canadians are putting together, and what most are still completely ignorant about, is that the fight against mandates is actually critically important to the future of democracy in this country.

All over the country, friends and family have been fracturing over a dangerous division in society.  Many will incorrectly call this a fight between left and right.  It is not.  It all comes down to where you get your information from.  If you rely solely on the media sources of information that we’ve always depended upon, you simply don’t know the whole story.  Not your fault, but you owe it to yourself, your family, your community, and your country to become informed beyond what we’re being told by the regular media.

The following snippets and full interview are shocking and disturbing even to those who’ve been searching for the truth through alternative media and some incredibly well informed interviews NOT featured by legacy media.  To those who have for whatever reason, hesitated to venture beyond regular legacy media outlets, this will be even harder to take in.  But.  Perhaps you’re finally tired of trying to make sense out of the ridiculous and flawed pandemic response.  If you are trying to understand why this Emergency Measures Act was invoked. This conversation will start to put it all together for you.

This conversation outlines how the World Economic Forum has managed to “penetrate” (in their own words) Canada’s federal cabinet as well as several other nations.   Check out this snippet of a much longer conversation between journalist Maajid Nawaz and Joe Rogan.

 

If you wish to confirm for yourself that several of Canada’s Federal Cabinet Ministers, including Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, as well as NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh are active or alumni members of the World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders group.. Here’s a link to the list of Active and Alumni members of the World Economic Forums, Forum of Young Global Leaders from North America.  You can click through the active and alumni members.

 

Here’s further discussion on how the WEF is infiltrating governments in an effort to introduce digital passes which will feature Chinese style social governance scores.

If you don’t have 3 hours to watch / listen to this today, you could cut that commitment in half if you start at the 1 hr and 25 minute mark. There you can begin at the point in this conversation when Maajid Nawaz  really begins to outline how Covid-19 is being used by the World Economic Forum, many of the world’s richest companies, and by China, to secure their stranglehold on power and wealth permanently.

Judge denies Canadian gov’t request to take away Freedom Convoy leader’s truck

A judge ruled that the Ontario Court of Justice is already ‘satisfied’ with Chris Barber’s sentence and taking away his very livelihood would be ‘disproportionate.’

A Canadian judge has dismissed a demand from Canadian government lawyers to seize Freedom Convoy leader Chris Barber’s “Big Red” semi-truck.

On Friday, Ontario Court of Justice Judge Heather Perkins-McVey denied the Crown’s application seeking to forfeit Barber’s truck.

She ruled that the court is already “satisfied” with Barber’s sentence and taking away his very livelihood would be “disproportionate.”

“This truck is my livelihood,” said Barber in a press release sent to LifeSiteNews.

“Trying to permanently seize it for peacefully protesting was wrong, and I’m relieved the court refused to allow that to happen,” he added.

Criminal defense lawyer Marwa Racha Younes was welcoming of the ruling as well, stating, “We find it was the right decision in the circumstances and are happy with the outcome.”

John Carpay, president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), said the decision is “good news for all Canadians who cherish their Charter freedom to assemble peacefully.”

“Asset forfeiture is an extraordinary power, and it must not be used to punish Canadians for participating in peaceful protest,” he added in the press release.

At this time, the court ruling ends any forfeiture proceedings for the time being, however Barber will continue to try and appeal his criminal conviction and house arrest sentence.

Barber’s truck, a 2004 Kenworth long-haul he uses for business, was a focal point in the 2022 protests. He drove it to Ottawa, where it was parked for an extended period of time, but he complied when officials asked him to move it.

On October 7, 2025, after a long trial, Ontario Court Justice Perkins-McVey sentenced Barber and Tamara Lich, the other Freedom Convoy leader, to 18 months’ house arrest. They had been declared guilty of mischief for their roles as leaders of the 2022 protest against COVID mandates, and as social media influencers.

Lich and Barber have filed appeals of their own against their house arrest sentences, arguing that the trial judge did not correctly apply the law on their mischief charges.

Government lawyers for the Crown have filed an appeal of the acquittals of Lich and Barber on intimidation charges.

The pair’s convictions came after a nearly two-year trial despite the nonviolent nature of the popular movement.

Freedom Convoy protester appeals after judge dismissed challenge to frozen bank accounts

Protestor Evan Blackman’s legal team argues Trudeau’s Emergencies Act-based bank account freezes were punitive state action tied directly to protest participation.

A Freedom Convoy protester whose bank accounts were frozen by the Canadian government says a judge erred after his ruling did not consider the fact that the funds were frozen under the Emergencies Act, as grounds for a stay of proceedings.

In a press release sent out earlier this week, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) said that Freedom Convoy protestor Evan Blackman will challenge a court ruling in his criminal case via an appeal with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

“This case raises serious questions about how peaceful protest is treated in Canada and about the lasting consequences of the federal government’s unlawful use of the Emergencies Act,” noted constitutional lawyer Chris Fleury. “The freezing of protestors’ bank accounts was part of a coordinated effort to suppress dissent, and courts ought to be willing to scrutinize that conduct.”

Blackman was arrested on February 18, 2022, during the police crackdown on Freedom Convoy protests against COVID restrictions, which was authorized by the Emergencies Act (EA). The EA was put in place by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government, which claimed the protests were violent, despite no evidence that this was the case.

Blackman’s three bank accounts with TD Bank were frozen due to his participation in the Freedom Convoy, following a directive ordered by Trudeau.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, in November of this year, Blackman was convicted at his retrial even though he had been acquitted at his original trial. In 2023, Blackman’s “mischief” and “obstructing police” charges were dismissed by a judge due to lack of evidence and the “poor memory of a cop regarding key details of the alleged criminal offences.”

His retrial resulted in Blackman getting a conditional discharge along with 12 months’ probation and 122 hours of community service, along with a $200 victim fine surcharge.

After this, Blackman’s application for a stay of proceedings was dismissed by the court. He had hoped to have his stay of proceedings, under section 24(1) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, allowed. However, the judge ruled that the freezing of his bank accounts was legally not related to his arrest, and because of this, the stay of proceedings lacked standing.

The JCCF disagreed with this ruling, noting, it “stands in contrast to a Federal Court decision finding that the government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act was unreasonable and violated Canadians’ Charter rights, including those targeted by the financial measures used against Freedom Convoy protestors.”

In 2024, Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley ruled that Trudeau was “not justified” in invoking the Emergencies Act.

In early 2022, the Freedom Convoy saw thousands of Canadians from coast to coast come to Ottawa to demand an end to COVID mandates in all forms. Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, Trudeau’s federal government enacted the EA in mid-February.

After the protesters were cleared out, which was achieved through the freezing of bank accounts of those involved without a court order as well as the physical removal and arrest of demonstrators, Trudeau revoked the EA on February 23, 2022.
