Premier Smith responds to Liberals' plan to appeal 'unconstitutional' Emergencies Act ruling

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has released a statement in response to the Liberal Party’s decision to appeal a ruling in Canada’s Federal Court.

Yesterday, Justice Richard Mosley determined that Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act was unconstitutional. Not hours later, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced on behalf of Trudeau’s government that the decision would be appealed.

As expected, Prime Minister Trudeau hid himself from criticism.



Trudeau’s government faced an onslaught of backlash for their decision to appeal this ruling – let alone the backlash for implementing the Emergencies Act in the first place – including from Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith.

Premier Smith highlights the stance Alberta has taken on the Emergencies Act since its invocation, that it was not needed, violated constitutional rights, and gave incredibly overpowered abilities to the federal government without due process of law.

Smith also highlights the reality which is, Trudeau has a continuing history of using the legal system to promote politically ideological campaigns. The Liberal plastic straw ban was overturned by the Federal Court as well, and again Trudeau’s government is appealing this decision.

Likewise Premier Scott Moe of Saskatchewan sheds light on the federal government’s continued pursuits against Canadians.



Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act during the Freedom Convoy, and this caused peaceful demonstrators to be violently arrested, vehicles and bank accounts to be seized, and our rights and freedoms to be stripped overnight. Regardless of whether Trudeau’s government wins an appeal using your tax money, it’s clear Trudeau does not respect the rights of Canadians, or even premiers.
