Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre called for Trudeau to be ‘fired’ over his misuse of the Emergency Act. Poilievre argued that the current Prime Minister ’caused the crisis by dividing people. Then he violated Charter rights to illegally suppress citizens.’

The Canadian Federal Court has announced that the Trudeau government’s use of the Emergencies Act was ‘not justified’ and a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

On January 23, Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley ruled that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was ‘not justified’ in invoking the Emergency Act (EA) to shut down the 2022 Freedom Convoy which protested COVID regulations and vaccine mandates.  

“Having found that the infringements of Charter sections 2(b) and 8 were not minimally impairing, I find that they were not justified under section 1,” Mosley wrote.

“I have concluded that the decision to issue the Proclamation does not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness – justification, transparency, and intelligibility – and was not justified in relation to the relevant factual and legal constraints that were required to be taken into consideration.”

According to the ruling, the EA is meant to be reserved as a last resort if all other means fail. It cannot be invoked unless all other measures have been exhausted.  

Furthermore, the ruling pointed out that there were other means to end the protest, such as provisions in the Criminal Code, which the province of  Alberta had argued at the time.  

The decision stated that, in addition to being an unnecessary measure,  the EA had violated Canadians’ Charter rights, specifically infringing on freedom of thought, opinion, and expression. 

The Freedom Convoy protest took place in early 2022 in Ottawa and featured thousands of Canadians calling for an end to COVID mandates by camping outside Parliament in Ottawa.  

In response, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s federal government enacted the EA on February 14, 2022 to shut down the popular movement.  The measures included freezing the bank accounts of Canadians who donated to the protest.  

Trudeau had disparaged unvaccinated Canadians, saying those opposing his measures were of a “small, fringe minority” who hold “unacceptable views” and do not “represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other.”   

Trudeau revoked the EA on February 23 after the protesters had been cleared out. At the time, seven of Canada’s 10 provinces opposed Trudeau’s use of the EA .

Additionally, several organizations, including the Canadian Civil Liberties Foundation, the CCF, the Canadian Frontline Nurses, four private applicants, lawyers for the Alberta Government, legally challenged Trudeau’s invoking of the measure.

They have now won their case, a decision immediately celebrated by Canadians on social media. 

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre called for Trudeau to be ‘fired.’ He argued that the current Prime Minister  “caused the crisis by dividing people. Then he violated Charter rights to illegally suppress citizens.” 

“As PM, I will unite our country for freedom,” he promised. 

Similarly, Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms lawyer Eva Chipiuk wrote, “This is big! What does it mean for the federal government, elected officials and all those disparaged and defamed protestors, I do not know. But this is big news!” 

“Do not be afraid to stand up to your government,” she encouraged. “In fact, it is your job as a citizen in democracy. Your voice matters, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” 

Additionally, the National Citizens Coalition celebrated the ruling, saying, “Trudeau and Freeland’s Emergencies Act was always ‘unreasonable.’ And of course they violated the Charter. Today’s judicial ruling is a win for all freedom-loving Canadians.” 

In response, Liberal Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced the Trudeau government disagreed with the ruling and planns to appeal the decision.

Top COVID doctor given one of Canada’s highest honors

Dr. Theresa Tam received the Order of Canada for her controversial COVID-19 response as the nation’s chief public health officer.

Canada’s former top medical advisor, known for her promotion of masking and COVID vaccines, has received one of Canada’s highest honors.

On June 30, Governor General Mary Simon awarded Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s former Chief Public Health Officer (CPHO), the Order of Canada award for her work implementing dangerous COVID regulations, including masking and experimental COVID shots.

“For decades, Theresa Tam has striven to advance global and national public health as a pediatric infectious disease specialist and public servant,” the press release read.

“Her tenure as Canada’s chief public health officer has been characterized by her commitment to health equity and highlighted by her leadership role in the country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” it continued.

The award, given to Canadians who have made extraordinary contributions to the nation, is Canada’s second-highest civilian honor.

Tam’s reception of the award comes just weeks after she stepped down as CPHO, ending her eight-year tenure in the position.

In the early months of 2020, Tam became well-known by Canadians for leading the country’s response to the COVID “pandemic” and pushing arbitrary and dangerous regulations.

Initially, Tam assured Canadians that masking was unnecessary, ineffective, and could even pose health threats.

However, shortly after, Tam changed her policy, telling Canadians that they should even wear masks during sex, a practice which has not been proven to be effective in preventing the spread of COVID and can cause myriad health issues.

In 2022, after thousands of Canadians reported adverse effects from the vaccine, Tam announced that the federal government was reviewing all federal COVID vaccine mandates, claiming that Canada’s Public Health Agency has never outright endorsed mandatory vaccination.

Tam’s remarks come after more than 1,000 federal workers have been suspended without pay because they chose not to get the COVID jabs or disclose whether they had them per the Privacy Act.

The Order of Canada was also awarded to British Columbia Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry, who is known not only for her heavy-handed COVID response, but also for promoting drug use throughout the province.

In 2023, hundreds of British Columbia health care workers sued Henry for ongoing COVID shot mandates preventing them from working. Under Henry, vaccine passports were implemented which required residents to show digital proof of vaccination to enter gyms, restaurants, and other “non-essential” facilities.

Henry also pushed the experimental and dangerous vaccine on children as young as five, despite that fact that clinical trials would not be completed for another two years.

Additionally, in 2024, Henry recommended that British Columbia expand its “safe supply” program to legalize fentanyl and heroin, despite evidence that the program is not working and has worsened the provinces drug crises.

New Peer-Reviewed Study Affirms COVID Vaccines Reduce Fertility

Published on July 1, 2025

Here’s what the numbers reveal, and what it could mean for humanity

What was once dismissed as a “conspiracy theory” now has hard data behind it.

A new peer-reviewed study out of the Czech Republic has uncovered a disturbing trend: in 2022, women vaccinated against COVID-19 had 33% FEWER successful conceptions per 1,000 women compared to those who were unvaccinated.

A “successful conception” means a pregnancy that led to a live birth nine months later.

The study wasn’t small. It analyzed data from 1.3 million women aged 18 to 39.

Here’s what the numbers reveal, and what it could mean for humanity.

First, let’s talk about the study.

It was published by Manniche and colleagues in the International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine, a legitimate, peer-reviewed journal respected for its focus on patient safety and pharmacovigilance.

The study was conducted from January 2021 to December 2023 and examined 1.3 million women aged 18–39. By the end of 2021, approximately 70% of them had received at least one COVID-19 vaccination, with 96% of the vaccinated cohort having received either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.

By 2022, a stark difference was clear.

The vaccinated cohort averaged around 4 successful conceptions per 1,000 women per month.

That’s a staggering 33% LESS than the 6 per 1,000 seen in the unvaccinated group.

This means that for every 2 vaccinated women who successfully conceived and delivered a baby, 3 unvaccinated women did the same.

In 2022, unvaccinated women were 1.5 times MORE likely to have a successful conception.

Again, that’s a conception that led to a live birth nine months later.

The authors did not jump to the conclusion that their study proved causation. They cited that other factors may have played a role, such as self-selection bias

However, the researchers noted that self-selection bias does not explain the timing and scale of the observed drop in fertility.

Moreover, birth rates in the Czech Republic dropped from 1.83 per 1,000 women in 2021 to 1.37 in 2024, adding further evidence that the COVID-19 vaccines may be contributing to the decline in fertility.

That downward trend, the researchers argue, supports the hypothesis that something beyond individual decision-making may be affecting conception rates.

As such, they argue that the study’s results warrant a closer and more thorough examination of the impact of mass vaccination.

If this study holds true, and vaccinated women are really much less likely to have successful conceptions, the implications for humanity are massive.

Millions of babies could be missing each year as a result of COVID vaccination, and recent data from Europe and beyond already point to a deeply disturbing trend.

NOTE: Europe experienced a sharper decline in births than usual from 2021 to 2023.

Live births fell from 4.09 million in 2021 to 3.67 million in 2023, marking a 10.3% decline in just two years.

The new Czech study adds to growing evidence that COVID vaccines may be contributing to a dramatic decline in fertility, just as many feared all along.

As Elon Musk warns, “If there are no humans, there’s no humanity.”

Whether the shots are the cause or not, the trend is real—and it’s accelerating.

It’s time to stop dismissing the signals and start investigating the cause.
