Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) veteran James Topp has retained a lawyer
and has served Global News as well as its parent company Corus
Entertainment Inc. with a notice of libel for falsely painting him as a white supremacist.
Topp made headlines when he marched across Canada to protest Covid-19 mandates earlier this year. He is currently facing a court martial after refusing to comply with the CAF’s mandatory vaccination policy.
The notice filed by lawyer David Elmaleh names journalist Rachel
Gilmore and her employers. It references an Aug. 18 article titled ‘Good PR’: Why anti-hate experts are urging politicians to step up vetting practices which covers a meeting between Topp and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
“The defamatory article, inclusive of the URL tag, referred to Mr.
Topp as a white supremacist, among other things,” the notice reads.
Global News has since changed the URL of the article but originally
it included the words “james topp white supremacists far right.”
“(Defendants published this) without providing any evidence supporting their statements,” writes Elmaleh.
“(Those named) also included various ‘tags’ on the defamatory
article, further implying that Mr. Topp is a white supremacist,
extremist and member of the far right.”
An editor’s note on the article currently states that the URL was
revised “to omit a reference to ‘white supremacist’ to avoid any
misunderstanding that persons named in the URL are associated with that
label.”
“Take notice that Mr. Topp intends to plead that the defamatory words
were made deliberately, irresponsibly and with malice,” the claim
continues.
“The intended defendants knew that the defamatory words, and the
innuendo arising from them, were false, yet expressed them in any event
in order to generate headlines, expand the reach of the defamatory
article and garner interest from as many members of the public as
possible.”
Topp is alleging that the false claims “lowered his reputation, and
has caused and will continue to cause reputational and financial harm,
along with emotional pain and suffering.”
The notice calls on the named parties to immediately publish an
apology on all platforms and warns that Topp will seek damages in future
proceedings.
True North reached out to Gilmore and Global News to give them an
opportunity to comment on the libel allegations but did not receive a
response by the time this article was published.
Thanks
to your support we were able to retain Mr. David Elmaleh and his
law-firm RE|LAW LLP to take forward our legal proceedings in regards to
the article written by Global News on the 18th of August. Ms. Gilmore,
Global News, and the parent company Corus Entertainment Inc. have been
served with a Notice of Libel. We are publicizing this development to
mitigate against the reputational harm Mr. Topp has sustained by being
called a white supremacist on the internet.
We are very pleased that Mr. Elmaleh will represent us if such matters come up again in the future.
We will try to keep you up to date to the progress.
Email Thank-you for providing as much information
as possible, including your cell number.
From his earliest revelations about
wanting to transform this country into a post-national state, PM Justin
Trudeau and his enablers have been on a mission to hollow out the idea
of Canada. There is to be no core identity, no proud history, no
mainstream traditions, no sense of belonging. Seven years into his
mission, the country marks its 155th birthday with chaotic and
politically charged gatherings across the land that, at best, reflect a
shaken sense of nationhood; but, perhaps more accurately, they signal
Canadians’ social contract has been forsook.
Whether it’s the PM’s response to the
truckers or the Liberals embrace of the World Economic Forum’s agenda,
Canadian editorialists and political pundits now openly debate the
damage being done by the Trudeau Government’s constant undermining of
the Canadian Constitution and Charter of Rights, its destabilization of
the country’s resource economy, and the rewriting of Canada’s history to
shame our cultural and societal legacies.
Andrew Coyne’s commentary this week in the Globe and Mail
identifies “the vacuum at the centre of Canadian politics” with
politicians degrading and disregarding “obligations to common sense, or
the ordinary routines of democratic politics, or the rule of law.”
Independent journalist Matt Gurney suggests our lack of political
leadership has Canadians settling for mediocrity. Numerous columnists
including William Gairdner are documenting how the government has
morphed from soft socialism to soft totalitarianism. Some like Rupa
Subramanya and Warren Kinsella often write on the perverse nature of
Trudeau’s authoritarian kleptocracy.
So, this day’s scenes of unrest in
the Nation’s Capital and its various cross-country protests against the
celebration of “Canada” speak directly to the crisis of our nationhood’s
legitimacy, a crisis that is continuously being stoked by the Trudeau
Government. Trudeau’s ceaseless use of wedge politics has effectively
eroded Canadians’ trust and faith in one another. The PM and his
operatives do not let a single opportunity pass by without virtue
signaling a division between Canadians. Case in point is most recently
when Trudeau and his senior ministers infused the U.S. political
maelstrom on abortion into Canada’s public debate, purposefully to 1)
embolden his progressive base, and 2) highlight the moral and political
divides on this contentious issue.
In the Financial Post, Joe Oliver offers his Lament for a misgoverned nation:
“As they prepare to celebrate their country’s 155th birthday, Canadians
are suffering at the hands of a divisive, incompetent government that
has undermined prosperity, freedom, parliamentary responsibility, the
independence of institutions, national unity and our country’s global
standing.”
From the deluge of hapless news
coming out of Ottawa these days, it seems that the very fabric of our
nation is threadbare. Consider how these situations will end.
Canadians are being told there has
been no impropriety or “undue influence” exercised with the latest
scandalous news that RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki “made a promise” to
Public Safety Minister Bill Blair and the Prime Minister’s Office to use
the mass murders in Nova Scotia to help pass the Liberals gun control
law. Senior Mounties have exposed the political power play. Yet, the
same people who caused the obstruction of justice scandals involving
Jody-Wilson-Raybould and SNC Lavalin, Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, and the
WE Charity payouts, claim the senior Mounties are fabricating their
story.
Canadians are now camping out for
days in front of federal government offices with hopes that they might
get their passports in time for their summer and fall vacations. To
address the snake-like lineups moving at glacier speed, PM Trudeau
announced a 13-member ministerial taskforce committee that (in his
words) “will help guide the work of the government to better meet the
changing needs of Canadians and continue to provide them with the
high-quality services they need and deserve.” The committee will begin
meeting in early July.
Inflation last month hit almost 7.7
per cent, the highest it has been in 40 years when the current PM’s
father was PM. Unfortunately, the Trudeau Liberals now know nothing more
of how to handle runaway inflation as the Trudeau Liberals did then.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s latest budget included more fiscal
stimulus, more debt, more regulation and more taxes. Recall, she
appeared beside the Bank of Canada governor to pronounce inflation was
“transitory.” Recently, when asked about government actions to tamper
inflationary pressures, she claimed the government has “done enough
already.” In another interview when asked about the frustrations
Canadians are experiencing with rising prices, Freeland offered “it is
okay to be mad.”
Gas pump prices in Canada continue to
climb causing increasing strain for daily commuters, suburban families,
and commercial drivers. Though Canadians are being told this is a
global pressure in part caused by Russia, the fact is our country has
the highest and highest-rising prices of any oil-developing nation. In
comparing pump prices in Niagara Falls, Ontario to Niagara Falls, New
York the gap has widened to more than 33 per cent more per litre. (News
Thursday from an internal Department of Environment report tells us that
new regulatory taxes on gas to be imposed July 1, 2023 will have a
direct impact on prices by as much as 36 cents per litre.) The Americans
are considering tax relief for motorists; any type of gas tax relief is
something the Trudeau government has repeatedly rejected.
More horrors were reported from
Ukraine this week when missiles hit residential buildings in Kiev and
one missile struck a shopping centre, killing 16 and injuring over 40.
While this news shook the world, PM Trudeau was hamming it up at the G7
meetings in Germany, mocking Vladimir Putin and photos of him
bare-chested horseback riding. The Canadian PM had nothing more to offer
his colleagues at the NATO summit. In the past couple of years, it is
evident Canada has been marginalized in international affairs – left out
of AUKUS, no mention with the QUAD Alliance, and our diplomats are MIA
in any discussions of defending Ukraine. Still our Trudeau Government
boasts its hashtag diplomacy: #IStandWithUkraine.
Finally, consider the news that
Canada Day in Winnipeg has been replaced with “New Day” celebrations, a
solemn statement to support Indigenous rights and to stand with those
who hold grievances against Canada as a nation. Queen’s University
professor Bruce Pardy makes this observation in an Epoch Times
article, “The cancellation and renaming of Canada Day… reflects a kind
of cultural self-hate that has gripped the body politic in Canada.”
Professor Pardy homes in on the
sobering significance, “Our institutions have embraced the premises of
critical theory, an anti-Western ideology that insists that Canada and
other Western nations are fundamentally unjust, systemically racist,
oppressive, and destructive… the most serious threat to Canada may be
its conditioned disgust with its own history and traditions.”
So, returning to Joe Oliver’s column
and his use of the adjective “misgoverned”. Oliver assumes the Trudeau
Government is rudderless and unfocused when, in fact, there is plenty of
evidence what is at play here is more than incompetence. On this Canada
Day, Parliament Hill is off-limits. The PM is insulting “those people”
again, purposefully dividing and erasing the idea that we should
celebrate our country.
Oh Canada, this is lamentable.

The federal government will drop COVID-19 border restrictions on Oct. 1, including no longer requiring masks on planes and trains. Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says Ottawa will rely on scientific evidence for any COVID-related decisions.
Let me paraphrase, "If you don't give me the science, people will think this is political" - Host, "let me talk to you about my distain for the opposition" - Lib MP. Can we all agree this was political now?

Your picture is beside mine at the Cop Shop and Bylaw headquarters,
now being spread with the Downtown Kelowna Association. They are
practicing being nice to us because when the time comes they are going
to do a surprise roundup of all the people who haven't fallen into the
covid cult scam and see the mass genocide happening, there are a bunch
of us who are on that roundup list, and they pretend to be nice to us,
but in reality they are being brainwashed to recognize all of us, for
future use.
Dude tf are you talking about nobody is getting rounded up quit saying
paranoid rhetoric. Yes the gang stalking thing is real. But, you create
the reality around you, be confident in yourself what you’re doing and
who you are and you’ll be fine. Ain’t no one getting rounded up. If
you’re that afraid get a lawyer.
To
protect the health and safety of the Kaslo RCMP we will not be taking
front counter reports. Our officers are still available 24/7 and we
encourage everyone to call us or utilize the detachment phone at the
front door. Our phone lines remain open at 250-353-2225. If it goes to
voicemail follow the prompts and speak to an operator.
If you require a criminal record check we ask that you hold off for the time being.
We also ask that if you require police assistance and are feeling sick that you advise that when you call so officers can don the appropriate safety equipment.

Mounties lower flag on 55 years at detachment on Doyle Avenue
Ron Seymour Jun 27, 2017
An RCMP parade covered just 750 metres Tuesday in Kelowna, but it
symbolized a move 55 years in the making that came at a cost of $48
million.
Two dozen members in red serge marched from the Doyle Avenue
detachment, built in 1962, to a new police services building at the
corner of Clement Avenue and Richter Street.
“It was time for a new building with proper working conditions for the
RCMP,” Mayor Colin Basran said during opening ceremonies for the new
100,000-square-foot detachment.
The Maple Leaf flag outside the Doyle Avenue detachment was lowered
and carried to the new one, where it was put into storage rather than
hoisted again.
“In preserving the flag, we pay our respects to those who served the
city in the past,” Kelowna RCMP Supt. Brent Mundle told the large
crowd of police, retired officers, city officials and interested
members of the public who attended the opening ceremony.
A new flag was raised by Const. Conrad Erbes, the newest member of the
Kelowna RCMP, who joined the detachment on June 15.
Jim Stuart, mayor of Kelowna from 1986 to 1996, was on hand for the
event, as were two former Kelowna RCMP detachment commanders, Dave
Roseberry and Bill McKinnon.
Although the old detachment had been expanded and modernized several
times over the years, it was considered too small and not equipped
with state-of-the-art facilities.
“I heard many a tale of mice in the building and other (poor) working
conditions,” said Brenda Butterworth-Carr, commanding officer for the
RCMP in B.C.
Before the ceremony, Westbank First Nation elder Wilfred Barnes
performed a cleansing ceremony “to clear the space of negative energy
and bless the building,” those in attendance heard.
Pastor Tim Schroeder, a former member of the Kelowna RCMP auxiliary
and the detachment padre, said the new building will be a place
representing peace, safety and security for decades to come.
“Those who are bent on doing wrong are not going to like this place,”
Schroeder said. “But to the law-abiding majority, this is a great
place.”

Insp. Kara Triance will be promoted to superintendent this fall
Michael RodriguezAug. 19, 2020 3:00 p.m.Local NewsNews
The Kelowna RCMP has named its new top cop.
Insp. Kara Triance will be promoted to superintendent this fall,
assuming her duties as the Kelowna Detachment Commander for the
Regional District of the Central Okanagan which includes Kelowna, West
Kelowna, Peachland and Lake Country.
Triance has been with the RCMP since 2000, after studying sociology
and criminology at UBC. Her first assignment saw her serve five years
in Richmond.
She also served in Bella Bella and on the central coast of B.C., in
Vernon/North Okanagan including Armstrong and Falkland and with the
Federal Border Integrity Shiprider program in Victoria. Most recently,
Triance served as the first female officer in charge of the Sea to Sky
detachment, since November 2016.
According to chief superintendent Brad Haugli, South East District
commander Insp. Triance has policed Indigenous communities, large and
small municipalities, rural and isolated communities, as well as
international waters.
Triance is the co-chair of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police
(BCACP), Diversity and Inclusion Committee and serves on the executive
board for the B.C. Women in Law Enforcement (BCWLE) Association.
Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran said the city is pleased with Triance’s
appointment, believing her to be the right person to help the city
move through the social change it is experiencing.
“Crime reduction requires a collaborative approach and her willingness
to work with diverse groups across all areas of our community will
help bring about positive change,” said Basran.
Born and raised in Kelowna, Triance is looking forward to returning
home, where she will share her policing knowledge and experience
through employee and community engagement.
“I am honoured to have been selected to serve as the next officer in
charge of Kelowna RCMP Detachment.I have great expectations for
accountability and excellence in delivering policing services,” said
Triance.
Triance takes the position over from Supt. Brent Mundle, who will be
transferred to a position with the South East District management
team.

bail hearing on Feb. 19, 2022, which was put over to Tuesday. Lich,

Tamara Lich, a major organizer of the so-called Freedom Convoy, was
denied bail Tuesday morning in Ottawa.
Lich, the Alberta woman behind a now-halted GoFundMe campaign that
raised over $10 million to support the protest in Ottawa, was arrested
and charged Thursday with counselling to commit mischief.
Before her arrest, she told journalists she wasn't concerned about
being arrested, didn't think the protest was illegal and also said her
bank account was frozen.
On Tuesday, the judge said she was not convinced Lich would go home,
stay there and stop her alleged counselling.
"This community has already been impacted enough by some of the
criminal activity and blockades you took part in and even led," said
Justice Julie Bourgeois.
"You have had plenty of opportunity to remove yourself and even others
from this criminal activity but obstinately chose not to and
persistently counselled others not to either.
"In Canada, every citizen can certainly disagree with and protest
against government decisions but it needs to be done in a democratic
fashion in abidance with the laws that have been established
democratically."
Set to return next week
Bourgeois said she found Lich to be guarded and "almost obstructive"
at times during the initial court appearance on Saturday and the judge
stated it was disturbing Lich didn't have a plan to get home after
other organizers started getting arrested.
Her husband Dwayne Lich, who would be responsible as a proposed surety
to report any breach of bail conditions, gave "unreliable and not
credible" evidence, Bourgeois found.
Tamara Lich, who Bourgeois says could face a "lengthy" stay in prison
if convicted, is scheduled to return to court on March 2.
Lich's lawyer Diane Magas confirmed to CBC Tuesday afternoon she plans
to seek an appeal of the decision to deny her client bail.
Downtown Ottawa is starting to return to normal after police flooded
the core over the weekend, towing more than 100 vehicles that didn't
leave and charging more than 100 people.
Businesses that had been forced to close are starting to reopen, light
rail is running again through downtown and the area controlled by
police checkpoints has shrunk.

Two of the most visible and vocal organizers behind the “Freedom
Convoy” protests remain in an Ottawa jail as Tamara Lich was denied
bail Tuesday and Pat King will wait until Friday to learn whether a
judge will grant his request to return to Alberta under bail
conditions.
Ontario Court Justice Julie Bourgeois said she believed there was a
substantial likelihood Lich would re-offend if released.
“I cannot be reassured that if I release you into the community that
you will not re-offend,” Bourgeois said. “Your detention is necessary
for the protection and safety of the public.”
Following the hearing, Lich’s Ottawa-based defence lawyer, Diane
Magas, said she was preparing a bail review application after her
client was denied her freedom and hoped the application could be heard
as soon as next week.
The judge cited the “immense” impact the convoy and the ensuing
occupation had on the community and said she believed Lich was
“obstinate” and “disingenuous” in her responses to the court during
her bail hearing on Saturday.
Lich appeared in court via a video link Tuesday, while King appeared
in person in a neighbouring courtroom, where his lawyer presented a
bail plan that includes a $50,000 bond from an Alberta woman who
acknowledged she had only known King for four weeks.
Kerry Komix, the proposed surety, also travelled to Ottawa to support
the demonstration.
Assistant Crown Attorney Moiz Karimjee, who led the prosecution in
both bail hearings, questioned the woman’s ability to act as a
reliable surety and suggested she shared the same ideology as King.

coronavirus disease (COVID-19) mandates that occupied Ottawa for three

The court was shown numerous videos of King’s own dispatches —
including his now infamous rants promoting racist conspiracy theories
— as he watched from the prisoner’s box wearing white pants and a grey
hoodie emblazoned with the word Odin.
He also wore a surgical mask at the court’s direction and was reminded
at one point by Justice of the Peace Andrew Seymour to wear his mask.
King was cautioned by his lawyer, Cal Rosemond, following an outburst
from the prisoner’s box early in the hearing and remained silent,
occasionally slouching in his seat or fidgeting with his mask for the
rest of the lengthy session.
Karimjee pointed to the “disturbing evidence” seen and heard in the
widely-circulated videos and told the court King, like Lich, presented
“a substantial likelihood” of reoffending.
King, 44, was arrested on Friday and faces charges of mischief,
counselling to commit mischief, counselling to commit the offence of
disobeying a court order and counselling to obstruct police.
Lich was arrested last Thursday and charged with counselling to commit mischief.
During the lunch break, King was also served with a statement of claim
in the $306-million class-action lawsuit against him, other organizers
and participants of the so-called “Freedom Convoy.”
Karimjee likened the incessant honking of trucker horns to “torture”
and said King, who often cited the phrase “Art of War” in his online
tirades, believed he was leading a war against government forces.
“He was at war with the City of Ottawa,” Karimjee said. “The noise was
a form of torture that was implemented on the citizens of Ottawa by
Mr. King (with) what can only be described as a sadistic laugh…
“Not only did Mr. King know, but it was his intention to use that
noise to get the federal government to negotiate and come to the
table. And, quite disturbingly, Mr. King was mocking, laughing at poor
Ottawans who were not able to sleep. He was saying, ‘We have achieved
our objective.’”
Under the bail plan proposed by his lawyer, King would return to
Alberta to live with Komix in a spare room in her home. The woman said
she is willing to put up $50,000 — approximately half the value of her
home — and told the court she would pledge the full value of the home
“if it was necessary.”
The bail plan would ensure King would be unable to communicate with
others to organize any further protests, Rosemond told the court.
“He’ll be stuck on house arrest” in rural Alberta with Komix, Rosemond
said, and as surety she would be limiting his access to the internet
by guarding the password and confiscating any cellular devices.
Komix told the court she is a light sleeper and has a dog.
“She’s going to follow your bail order to the letter of the law,”
Rosemond told the judge. “(King) is not in Ottawa under this bail
plan, and he doesn’t have access to electronic devices without his
surety looking over his shoulder — (one) who stands to lose a lot of
money if anything goes wrong with this bail plan.”
Seymour said he recognized the “vast” public interest in the case and
said he would render his decision Friday afternoon.
While she remains in custody, Lich was ordered to have no contact with
King or other convoy organizers Benjamin Dichter, Christopher Barber
and Daniel Bulford.
Lich has no criminal record and the mischief case against her has not
been tested in court.
Barber was granted bail and released on Saturday by the same judge who
denied bail in Lich’s case.
The judge gave him 24 hours to get out of town and banned him from
supporting the “Freedom Convoy” in any shape or form.

A second major organizer of the so-called Freedom Convoy will have to
wait a few more days before an Ontario Court of Justice judge decides
whether to grant her bail.
Tamara Lich, the Alberta woman behind a now-halted GoFundMe campaign
that raised over $10 million to support the protest in Ottawa, was
arrested and charged Thursday with counselling to commit mischief.
Police arrested another key leader, Chris Barber, on the same day. He
was released on bail Friday.
Before her arrest, Lich told journalists she wasn't concerned about
being arrested, didn't think the protest was illegal and also said her
bank account was frozen

At her bail hearing Saturday, Lich wore a black hoodie with white text
that combined a heart and maple leaf to read "I love Canadian oil and
gas."
She was also required to wear a medical mask, one of the mandates the
convoy has been fighting against, along with requiring COVID-19
vaccines to participate in certain activities like cross-border
trucking.
Crown attorney Moiz Karimjee focused on both Lich and her husband
Dwayne's ability to pay a proposed $5,000 bond if Lich breached any
conditions the judge may impose.
Lich, who lives in Medicine Hat, Alta., and her husband both work in
the oil and gas sector. Lich told the court she has no savings and few
assets, including a 2017 Jeep and 2018 Ford F-150 that they're
continuing to make payments on.
She also offered no suggestions how she would be able to make her way
back to Alberta if ordered to, since she travelled to Ottawa with
Barber, whose bail conditions include that he not communicate with
her.
Her lawyer, Diane Magas, later told court that one of the lawyers
representing Lich in a proposed $10-million class-action lawsuit
against protesters would be able to drive the couple back to Alberta,
allowing her to leave within the next week.

Husband travelled on private jet
Lich has been a major player in the demonstrations in Canada's
capital, which have lasted for more than three weeks and have
attracted international attention.
Ottawa police said Saturday they had made 170 arrests and towed 53
vehicles out of the occupation zone.
Dwayne Lich has been proposed to act as her surety, meaning he would
have to report if she breached any bail conditions.
In his testimony, he said he flew to Ottawa on Feb. 2 on a private jet
at a cost of $5,000, paid for by a "nice gentleman" named Joseph that
he'd only recently met.
"But he told me that my plane ride was taken care of, which was a
miracle," he told the court.
The Crown questioned Dwayne Lich on his ability to serve as surety,
given he'd been in Ottawa throughout much of the protests while his
wife had been recorded telling protesters to "Hold the line at all
costs."
For weeks, the convoy blocked several major roads in Ottawa's downtown
core. (Reno Patry/CBC/Radio Canada)
While he said he didn't believe in the blockades or holding the line,
Dwayne Lich also said he didn't see anything wrong, equating the
blockades to a large traffic jam or parked cars in a snow storm.
"I don't see no guns. I don't see anything criminal as far as I can
see. I just see trucks parked," he said.
Dwayne Lich questions legality of Emergencies Act
He also questioned whether the Emergencies Act — which was debated
Saturday in the House of Commons — was implemented legally, at times
confusing the numbered amendments found in the U.S. Constitution with
Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
"Honestly? I thought it was a peaceful protest and based on my first
amendment, I thought that was part of our rights," he told the court.
"What do you mean, first amendment? What's that?" Judge Julie
Bourgeois asked him.
"I don't know. I don't know politics. I don't know," he said. "I
wasn't supportive of the blockade or the whatever, but I didn't
realize that it was criminal to do what they were doing. I thought it
was part of our freedoms to be able to do stuff like that."
He also began asking the court about whether the Liberal government
was legally allowed to implement the Emergencies Act.

hearing about his ability to act as her surety. (Laurie
Foster-MacLeod/CBC)
"Can you tell me if what they did is really legal? If this is
something that they can be doing or is it against everything that is
good and holy? I don't know," he said.
While the Crown argued his comments showed he might not recognize the
law, Magas asked him if he understood that any restrictions set by the
court would need to be followed, to which he said he did.
The Crown is arguing against bail for Tamara Lich, saying she's
already proven she has no respect for the law and that her husband's
testimony shows they have rich friends and could fundraise more money.
The judge is expected to make a decision Tuesday.

Subject: RE: Deployment of Emergencies Act expected to pass with
support of the NDP because of Trudeau's predictable confidence vote EH
AB?
To: David Amos <david.raymond.amos333@gmail.com>
Thank you for your email. My office has been inundated with similar emails.
On Monday February the 21st, the Liberals and NDP voted in favour of
the Emergencies Act and called the situation at hand a public order
emergency. It was the first time that this act has ever been used and
the act preceding the emergencies act was only used in WW1, WW2 and
the FLQ Crisis. This vote was specifically disturbing because it
occurred despite the fact that all of the cross border protests were
concluded and the one in Ottawa was disbursed and disbanding. It was a
dark day for personal freedoms and peaceful protests in Canada.
The Prime Minister appears to have made no effort to de-escalate the
situation. Instead, he has insulted and disrespected Canadians, and
then when it blew up, instead of apologizing and listening to what
people had to say, jumped straight to the most extreme measures to
deal with the protests.
Imposing powers of the Emergencies Act sets a dangerous precedent. The
Government of Canada included in its laundry list of powers the
ability to freeze the funds of those supporting the demonstrators.
Governments should not have the power to close the bank accounts of
hardworking Canadians simply on the suspicion of supporting causes of
which the government doesn’t approve. This is a slippery slope, and
not how the government should operate in a free and democratic
society.
Some of my comments are contained in this speech I delivered in the
House of Commons on behalf of constituents. It is worth watching as it
clearly shows where I stand and the actions that I personally took to
stop this government overreach. The video can be viewed here: https://fb.watch/bmjT0H1Fs2/
In an even more baffling turn of events, less than 48 hours after
voting to implemented the Emergencies Act the Prime Minister announced
on February the 23rd that the “situation is no longer an emergency”
and revoked the Emergencies Act. Although it is unnerving to even
consider that the PM would invoke the Act to silence his political
adversaries, I am thankful that the direct, powerful and prolonged
pressure by Conservative MPs and engaged constituents such as yourself
seems to have impacted his decision. In the words of our interim
Conservative Leader “Nothing has changed between Monday and today
other than a flood of concerns from Canadian citizens, bad press, and
international ridicule.”
This is not a win, our work is not over yet. What all Canadians need
now is a clear plan out of this pandemic by ending the mandates and a
return to normal life. Unfortunately, the Liberals and NDP are
unwilling to even discuss a plan for Canadians and unwilling to put
their political differences aside.
I will continue to be your strong voice in Ottawa and I hope that I
can continue to count on your support as I hold this government to
account for their actions.
Sincerely,
Glen Motz
