Yeah I also question what it implies. Its already far too late to stay the emergency powers, so whats the point? Does this lead to treason charges? I kindof doubt it leads to anything except a headline.
Canada is a failed state

Its a bad argument because even when it falls apart, they just pretend evidence that puts them in a bad light isn't true.
You have a look at a number of factors here, relative inflation, how much your being taxed, social benefits, pay within jobs, job availability, underemployment, how good social security is, etc. Then you can get to the inflation rate.
If you look at other G20 countries, they suffer from global inflation- but their healthcare isn't collapsing, theres not as major downturns in their economy, they didn't lose all their small businesses, relative to the tax rate theyre doing fine, their social services still function, people arent going homeless en mass, theyre giving money to people to start businesses again (or they didnt let them die in the first place), etc.
Its also how the money was given away.
In Italy, for example, they didn't just give money to people to do whatever they wanted with it. They had a mortgage moratorium for retail clients and businesses throughout most of the pandemic. People talk about how we should have had a rent moratorium, this was significantly better imo, because they actually got to keep most of their small businesses. Thats one example of a wise covid response (even amid lockdown), and theres so many more
Canada either didnt try or failed on most of these metrics, and then you have the global inflation, and then you have our own.
"Well our inflation rate isnt so bad compared to others"
Yeah, well, pay increases in Poland, the Netherlands, Austria, Japan, etc better match their cost of living, the extra expenses are in most peoples budgets, and for those that fail theyre actually taken care of and theyre in the minimum, etc.
CBC got it wrong, it wasn't just ruled unreasonable, it was ruled unconstitutional
I doubt anything will happen even after years of probable litigation. The government will fine the government? Who knows. I long gave up hope of accountability in anything within this country. Would be a pleasant surprise, but Im not getting my hopes up.
What a violation of the constitution means is that people whose constitutional rights were violated can basically sue the government for recompense, which is pretty great, but it does nothing to really regain trust in my opinion, the fact that they want to bring this into legal limbo for god knows how long just makes me trust the government even less,
and violations of this kind are more designed for individuals falsely arrested by the government or other things like that. What does it mean that the government basically shut down and persecuted an entire viewpoint or ideology contrary to their own, and froze the bank accounts of people who had little to do with said protest other than donating money via crowdfunding. Theres a lot more damage here at play than just paying out those who were falsely arrested, which they of course should do.

lawsuits to get compensation for those who got arrested or their accounts frozen?

As long as the government is contesting it, I doubt they'll be able to sue.

Mr Government is very sorry for the losses it directly caused you to incur with its own actions, it will now make amends by taxing you even more heavily in order to finance repaying you

FTFY. Also, I'd expect Trudeau to try to start purging the Federal Court too.

Chrystia Freeland is a witch. She is behind all the decisions and whispering into Trudeau's ear as a WEF member, disenfranchising Canadians. I fucking hate this bitch I hope she gets fed to the pigs and meets a horrible end.

Freeland is a banshee that can only exist in the interweaven structure of corruption and political blowjobs. No sane man or woman can look at the creature and say yes, I will vote for that woman.
She is what goebbel was to Hitler as she is to Trudeau. The Face and The Voice of the Party.

How sorry I'm sure we all feel for Gurdeep, who can't bring his wife Premala to work as a line cook at a samosa ghost kitchen while he works full time at Lowe's crashing a forklift into walls, both accumulating enough "canadian work experience" to get PR status and immigrate 9 other family members. Not to mention how awful this development must be for our family owned corporations, who may now need to pay someone local two dollars an hour more to do those jobs, if there's anyone left to do them who isn't living in a tent and smoking down off foil.
The family cap is probably the biggest change that will gut the numbers. It's too little too late, but it's a lot of little. A lot of the diploma mill colleges were banking on the students bringing a spouse over because it was two coolies for the price of one to pay off the loans they took out to come here.

The college is a leader in providing coolie labor for "local" businesses and Dollarama gets 50 applicants for a single cashier position. I truly shed a tear for poor Dollarama and Home Depot who will now only get 25 applicants per position. This is truly the end times.

I wonder if these people realize that publishing all these sob stories about how awful immigrants have it just makes Canadians resent and even hate the immigrants even more.

I recall pro-convoy lawyers like Dave Anber noting after the dust settled in 2022 that no one was ever actually charged under all the insane new penalties contained within the Emergencies Act.
So nothing changes for the Coutts 4, Lich&Barber, all the other participants still undergoing lawfare because they were all charged under the regular ole Criminal Code.
Their lawyers can probably use the new ruling as a defense that the protest was legal. But nothing that happened today voids any charges.

The towing companies were forced to tow the trucks, could they sue for loss of reputation?

It was really dystopian.
They put tape over the names and logos of all the trucks used. They also had all the drivers wear full-face balaclavas.
At some point a list of towing companies that cucked out was being passed around.

That pajeet is in it for the pension and nothing else. He doesn't give a fuck about anything. He's the definition of a champagne socialist.

I'm pretty sure every single time I've seen someone bring up the city of Hamilton on here, it's always to comment on the extent of the homeless problem. I can't vouch for how true this is, but people from the area have told me that it used to be common for cities around the region to hand chronically homeless/terminal fuckups a bus or train ticket to Hamilton when they'd get out of jail, with the reasoning that Hamilton has better social services. I believe it, the cost of living was very reasonable there until 2011 or thereabouts in comparison to major cities in the GTA, there were lots of shitty housing projects where you could actually afford a 1 bedroom comfortably on one welfare check. Then the Toronto cancer got out of control, the heritage buildings and independent businesses were destroyed and replaced with ludicrously overpriced carbon copies of the same fuck ugly neomodern high rise condos. Rents more than quadrupled, now the people on ODSP mostly live in shelters or tents. The ones who can afford a place often only manage because they sell their medication and shit. Basically if you've seen the South Park episode about gentrification, that was pretty close.

Used to be common? Across Ontario from the big to the small it’s never stopped.
Also, Tucker being sent to Alberta tells me I was right about the USA looking to set up against an invasion. Single handedly he has triggered Alberta’s full separation. I would be shocked if an announcement doesn’t happen soon. Get ready for a sweeping majorly conservative government that will double down on basically everything already being done! If a snap election does happen by the summer I’d be very surprised.
