Freedom Convoy Protesters Suing Trudeau Government · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

  So looks like the Trudeau government is getting sued. Here's the headline to Mary
• 0:08
  Leach, Chris Barber, eighteen other Freedom Convoy protesters sue Trudeau government for two
• 0:15
  million each over illegally invoking Emergencies Act. And that was after this Trudeau's use
• 0:22
  of the Emergencies Act was ruled unconstitutional. What happens now, well, now
• 0:27
  we know, and this is what we thought would happen all along. Government's
• 0:31
  getting sued. Now. The unfortunate thing is that if they win the case,
• 0:35
  Trudeau himself isn't going to pay anything. Obviously they will have to be
• 0:39
  paid by the taxpayers. But look, when you've been persecuted by the government,
• 0:44
  well your only recourse is to sue the government. So I support it.
• 0:48
  And there's no question that these people have been persecuted here from post millennial
• 0:53
  freedom truckers being punished with lengthy trial at delays, says defendant to Mary Leach.
• 0:59
  Freedom Convoy personality Tamara Leach said Friday that her joint trial with Chris Barber
• 1:04
  has again recessed, and she doesn't expect a defense to begin summarizing its case
• 1:10
  until hopefully ten days in mid March twenty twenty four. That means a verdict
• 1:15
  shouldn't be expected until at least the summer. That's well over two years since
• 1:19
  the Freedom Convoy. The pair are charged with mischief, counseling others to commit
• 1:23
  mischief, intimidation and obstructing police as members of the Freedom Convoy, and to
• 1:30
  Mary Leach said quote, I don't know why it's taking so long, but
• 1:33
  it's true what they say. In the Canadian legal system, the punishment is
• 1:38
  the process, so the goal being to, no matter what the final verdict,
• 1:42
  is, to intimidate people by putting them through hell with the process itself.
• 1:48
  My question is, after the Emergencies Act was ruled unconstitutional, why are
• 1:52
  these charges still there? Why haven't they been dropped? Well we know why,
• 1:56
  because the Trudeau government is incredibly petty and vindictive, and they're going to
• 2:00
  keep the political pressure up to keep those charges going and to keep punishing people
• 2:05
  who never should have been punished in the first place. But this federal court
• 2:08
  ruling that the invoking of the Emergencies Act was unconstitutional now opens the door for
• 2:14
  them to fight back. So lawyer Keith Wilson posted this on Wednesday, breaking
• 2:20
  on the two year anniversary of the federal government illegally invoking war measures against its
• 2:25
  citizens and targeting key protesters in Ottawa by freezing their bank accounts. Today,
• 2:31
  timar Leach, Chris Barber, Tomarrazo, Danny Bulford and other protesters who were
• 2:37
  targeted by Justin Trudeau have filed lawsuits against the federal government. Section twenty four
• 2:43
  of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms gives Canadians the right to sue their government
• 2:47
  for damages when Charter rights are violated. Doing so affirms this seriousness of respecting
• 2:53
  Charter rights and is intended to deter future governments from breaching canadians fundamental rights.
• 3:00
  The lawsuit seeks two million in damages and that's per person saw this comment says
• 3:07
  only two million. You were letting them off way too easy. We give
• 3:10
  convicted terrorists ten million. And who's he talking about there, Well, they're
• 3:15
  talking about Omar Cotter, who is a convicted terrorist who the Canadian government settled
• 3:20
  with for ten point five million dollars. And here's what Justin Trudeau had to
• 3:24
  say about it. The measure of a society, of a just society,
• 3:30
  it's not whether we stand up for people's rights when it's easy or popular to
• 3:35
  do. So it's whether we recognize rights when it's difficult, when it's unpopular.
• 3:40
  So he says the time to stand up for Canadians' rights is when it's
• 3:44
  difficult. That's the best time. That's what he said then. That's what
• 3:47
  he said in twenty seventeen. So what changed, well, actually nothing with
• 3:52
  Trudeau. He was lying then, just as he's lying now, and he's
• 3:54
  been lying the entire time. If Justin Trudeau is opening his mouth, he's
• 4:00
  lying. And I hope that they are successful in this case, because when
• 4:03
  a government is tyrannical and abuses its own citizens, there needs to be recourse.
• 4:09
  They need to be held to account, and I hope that in this
• 4:12
  case that will happen. Anyway, that's all I got to say about that.
