Their first appeal was unanimously rejected by a three-judge panel and the judge who made the first ruling was a Liberal appointee. Not even the fixed justice system can justify their BS. I hope the Supreme Court takes the case just to unequivocally state for the eternal record how fucked they are.
I wish, but I would be shocked. The Canadian Supreme Court is notoriously left-wing and agenda-driven, with no conservatives on the Court. Also, the Chief Justice has made what I would consider disqualifying comments about the circumstances of this case:
The complaint quotes a full page of excerpts from an April 9 Le Devoir article where Wagner said the convoy was “the beginning of anarchy…to take other citizens hostage, to take the law into their own hands, not to respect the mechanism…That, I find worrying.”
The judge likened the convoy to a situation that would “undermine democracy and judicial independence…[and] maintaining respect for institutions, in maintaining the rule of law.”
In the complaint letter, the lawyers warned, “The Chief Justice’s views expressed in the Le Devoir article fit within the legal definition of a reasonable apprehension of bias and an appearance of partiality. We submit that the Chief Justice’s remarks will undermine Canadians’ confidence in the independence of the Supreme Court of Canada in particular, and in the judiciary, generally…
Canada's Supreme Court also has its own Kentaji-Brown Jackson DEI nominee.
I'm nominally related to one of them.
She is a underqualified & inexperienced chug pick that only did virtual court during the 'rona when things were more or less shutdown.
The University of Ottawa also conspired to seal her graduate thesis work from public knowledge because whatever it contained was too salacious & embarrassing for even Trudeau's peak Clown World gay race communism.
Yeah, but they aren't actually ruling on the original case, they're reviewing whether the other judges did their jobs properly or not. For them to overturn it now would be to say four other judges, one who's said basically the said thing, are wrong. It's possible but if it happened, we'd basically be admitting "law doesn't exist for poors".
You forget some really big things. The Chief Justice, appointed to that position by Trudeau, was openly anti-trucker and pro-mandates. He literally put mask mandates on the SC. All but 3 judges were appointed by Trudeau.
The first judge who made the original ruling was a Liberal appointee (can't remember if specifically Trudeau or not) who explicitely stated that he didn't like the Convoy and he not only ruled against the invocation of tne Act, he wrote that, even if his main reasoning were overturned, there is also secondary reasoning that also wouldn't have allowed the act to be used.
For the Supreme Court to overturn this ruling they would have to explain how three appellate court judges were all wrong and then explain why both of the original reasonings were wrong.
It's possible, but I don't exagerate in saying it would be the end of the rule of law in Canada.
Not their money...

Canadian here. Supreme Court is the ONLY court that has ruled for the population once in a while. All others are 100% against normal people

He's also an egomaniac. He had a bust of himself commissioned for the SCC while he's still on the bench.

Even if they do, those people will never pay for what they've done. Normally they should be facing some kind of consequences. They aren't.
Not a given fact supreme court accepts to hear them neither.
