The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms said the decision was ‘disappointing’ but reminded Canadians it is not legally binding.
(LifeSiteNews) –– Prominent Canadian lawyers, pundits and politicians blasted today’s ruling by Liberal-friendly Justice Paul Rouleau, which outright exonerated Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government’s use of the Emergencies Act (EA) to crush the Freedom Convoy last year.
“So it appears very clear that the judiciary in Canada is now as compromised as the government itself,” tweeted famed Canadian psychologist and author Jordan Peterson.

Elaborating, Peterson pulled no punches, adding:
The fact that the Canadian “authorities” have concluded that the Trucker convoy conspired an insurrection severe enough to warrant war measures action by the feds should strike horror into the heart of every Canadian who values freedom.

This means, just to clear, that all future governments, conservative to socialist, can now use the full might of the state against all who dare to raise a protest.

Alberta-based political commentator Paul Mitchell was also direct in his assessment regarding Rouleau’s ruling, writing on Twitter, “As expected. Rigged bull****,” before adding, “Canada is a banana republic.”
‘Corruption at its finest,’ says former federal minister
People’s Party of Canada (PPC) leader Maxime Bernier, who was a former Conservative MP and cabinet minister, likewise took a shot at Rouleau’s ruling, saying it showed a strong bias toward the prime minister’s Liberal Party.
Former Liberal activist Paul Rouleau was named by Trudeau to cover Trudeau’s ass. He delivered spectacularly.
