The judge in the case, Justice Richard Mosley, made an off-the-cuff remark that in his younger days he was a Class 1 truck driver in southern Alberta.
According to PM Justin Trudeau, in January and February 2022 a bunch of truckers invaded and occupied downtown Ottawa.
The PM became very upset that a bunch of blue collar truck drivers were allowed to protest vaccine mandates because they are misogynist, un-Canadian and racist.
Trudeau was so upset he invoked the Emergencies Act, froze people’s bank accounts and unleashed the full force of emergency power laws on noisy but basically peaceful protesters.
Several civil liberty groups became so concerned about Trudeau and his cabinet using the Emergencies Act to quell this noisy protest that they filed a lawsuit against the federal government on whether the use of the act was justified.
They filed their suit in the required 30 days and a little over a year later it landed in a federal courtroom in Ottawa for a three-day hearing this week.
Two days ago, the judge in the case, Justice Richard Mosley, made an off-the-cuff remark that in his younger days he was a Class 1 truck driver in southern Alberta but that he found truck driving too hard of work, so he quit and became a lawyer, then a federal judge.
A former truck driver turned judge ruling on the legality of PM Trudeau using the Emergencies Act to quell a protest by truck drivers.
You cannot make this kind of stuff up. Only in Canada.
