"The Emergencies Act appeal was defeated—again. A Canadian court has now twice ruled the federal government illegally invoked the Act, froze bank accounts, and breached Charter rights. And yet—no politician is held accountable. Ever. If Ottawa can trample civil liberties and walk away with zero consequences, why should Albertans believe “next time” will be different? This is another reason Alberta must leave. Nadine sits down with John Carpay (JCCF) to break down why both courts ruled against Ottawa, why the Supreme Court is unlikely to hear this, how the Emergencies Act’s legal thresholds were not met, and why Bill C-9 (removing AG consent for hate-speech prosecutions) would supercharge political prosecutions and online speech chill. If Canada’s courts can say “illegal” twice while Ottawa shrugs, maybe it’s time Alberta shrugs off Ottawa—for good."
