FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Holding Government to Account
Toronto Canada — On Tuesday, January 23, 2024, nearly two years after the controversial invocation of the Emergencies Act, the
Federal Court of Canada released its findings under judicial review. The court determined that the use of the Emergencies Act was unreasonable and violated the rights of Canadians.
In response to this landmark ruling, the legal team at Loburg Ector LLP filed a statement of claim on February 14, 2024, on behalf of 20 plaintiffs. The defendants include
the Prime Minister of Canada, various cabinet ministers, police officers, banks, and others implicated in the freezing of Canadians’ bank accounts during the protests.
A Rallying Cry for Freedom
The attack on truckers and other peaceful protesters in Ottawa served as a rallying cry for the freedom movement in Canada and inspired similar
protests globally. This judicial decision is a significant step toward holding individuals and the government accountable for actions that infringed on Canadians’ rights.
A group of courageous Canadians has taken up the fight on behalf of all citizens to ensure that those responsible are held to the highest ethical and moral standards. "These 20
plaintiffs represent all of us," a Take Action Canada (TAC) spokesperson said. "Their bravery is a call to action for every Canadian who values their freedoms."
Support Needed to Secure Justice
The plaintiffs have personally covered all legal costs to date, but the expenses continue to grow as this case
progresses. Take Action Canada (TAC) is calling on Canadians to join this fight to ensure justice prevails.
"The stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines," TAC emphasized. "A legal victory will not only hold those responsible accountable but also prevent future governments from taking similar actions. If this challenge fails, it sets a dangerous precedent for government overreach."
