Freedom and Justice .ca is another Canadian organization (small) that is intent on taking back what the Governments are taking away. Their call to action for the Lawsuit in Toronto (below) begins with:
We need a MASSIVE turnout online to send a clear message to the court and the government that there is SUBSTANTIAL public interest in this case. We had close to 20K members of the public register to attend our appeal hearing via Zoom, the most people to attend a Federal Court hearing ever in Canadian history.
BACKGROUND
Rupa Subramanya wrote up excellent background (August 2, 2022). Click on his name to read it. It’s another of those “I can’t believe this is happening”. Canadians are SO fortunate to have people who are in there, fighting.
Court Documents Reveal Canada’s Travel Ban Had No Scientific Basis
In the days leading up to the mandate, transportation officials were frantically looking for a rationale for it. They came up short.

Thank you to these two men for standing up to tyranny. And thanks Rupa for your reporting. I’ve been enjoying watching your interviews. Two things that I believe need to change in regards to government overreach in the US, in Canada, etc.: 1. Typically US courts don’t decide the merits of a policy, but rather if an official or agency has the authority to make that policy. So political leaders can just say they are following the science, without having to support their arguments with actual science. But in murder cases or civil cases, there is typically a battle of the experts. Denying freedoms should be the absolute last type of public policy / law and if the science is unequivocal, then political leaders should be able to defend it in court. 2. And actually more important, when implementing policies to deny freedoms granted in the US Constitution or the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms, political leaders should have to defend their position in court BEFORE the restrictions are implemented. Citizens shouldn’t have to sue to get their freedoms back. Freedoms shouldn’t be denied without a just and defensible cause. Otherwise, our governments are stealing our freedoms and our most precious time, time that we can never get back. And I submit that they do not have that right. |

What should frighten people today, isn’t the authoritarian governments of China and Russia, but the authoritarians in our midsts. It is terrifying that such a retrograde philosophy has taken root amongst so many western leaders…including among the Democrats in the US.
They know these policies (like the travel ban in Canada) will have no discernible effect, but that isn’t the point. The point is control…do what we say you little plebs or we will crush you.
This is only possible because of a largely compliant media…which is why I am so thankful for places like Common Sense which give alternative (non-government) narratives a voice.
