“We are pleased that the Federal Court of Appeal has sided with Alberta that the use of the Emergencies Act by the federal government in 2022 was unlawful and infringed the Charter right to freedom of speech, upholding the 2024 Federal Court decision.
“This decision is a win for freedom and for Canadians.
“Alberta was granted intervenor status and made clear that the federal government failed to consult Alberta as required under the Emergencies Act, and did not meet the definition of national emergency to justify its use.
“Alberta’s government will always use every legal tool at our disposal to push back against unconstitutional federal actions, and to protect and promote freedom in this federation.”
