Podcasts about emergencies act

From the Emergencies Act to land claims and property rights, some of Canada's most important issues are being decided in the courts. But are judges simply applying the law or are they playing a bigger role in shaping public policy?  Former Manitoba judge Brian Giesbrecht says public trust in the courts is declining and that judges have become too involved in political and social issues.  Join David Leis live with Giesbrecht, Alberta lawyer Leighton Grey, and Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre, as they share the growing power of the courts, controversial rulings, and what it all means for Canadians. Why does this matter? What policies need to change? 

Are Canadians losing the common thread that holds the country together?In this LeDrew Rant, Stephen LeDrew argues that many Canadians still understand basic fairness, justice, and common sense — but that too many people in Ottawa, Toronto, and the political-media establishment have become disconnected from the realities facing the rest of the country.LeDrew focuses on the ongoing fallout from the federal government's use of the Emergencies Act against the trucker convoy. The Federal Court of Appeal has upheld the finding that the Trudeau Government's invocation of the Act was unreasonable and beyond its legal authority, and that it infringed Charter rights.The rant also raises concerns about whether Chief Justice Richard Wagner should sit on the Supreme Court appeal involving the Emergencies Act after his decidedly derogatory comments about the truckers and their convoy. LeDrew argues that Canadians are right to expect not only legal impartiality, but the appearance of impartiality.From there, LeDrew turns to Alberta and the growing debate over sovereignty and separation. Premier Danielle Smith has declared that Albertans will decide whether to hold a referendum on remaining in Canada, while also stating her own commitment to Canadian unity. LeDrew argues that while Alberta is likely to remain in Canada, Ottawa and the national media should take Alberta's grievances seriously rather than dismissing them.This rant covers:The Emergencies Act and the trucker convoyJudicial impartiality and public trustAlberta alienation and sovereignty debatesOttawa and Toronto media cultureWhy many Canadians feel oppressed by elitesThe importance of independent news and analysisAs Canadians debate justice, unity, and accountability, LeDrew asks whether the country's political and media class still understands what ordinary Canadians know instinctively: what is fair, what is right, and what is wrong.

Jerry opens the show with Joe Warmington to discuss his Toronto Sun piece arguing that the Emergencies Act may be needed as “organized” attacks on Jews are allowed to fester. Next, Jerry asks: What are the road rules for cops? He’s joined by Sean Shapiro, The TikTok Former Traffic Cop, to break down what police can and can’t do on the road. Then Jerry opens the phones: What did you get pulled over for? Jerry closes the hour with a look at Canada’s economic future. He speaks with Charles Lammam, Senior Fellow at the MEI, about why Canada’s investment crisis requires urgent policy attention.

In this episode of Runnymede Radio, we feature an original interview with Professor Philippe Lagassé (Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University). Lagassé discusses his recent writing on the possible existence of a Crown prerogative to “keep the peace” within Canada, and what this would mean for the constitutional foundations of executive power. Using the Emergencies Act and the 2022 Public Order Emergency as context, he considers whether statutory frameworks fully define the scope of emergency authority. The conversation explores the relationship between prerogative and statute, including whether unwritten executive powers may offer a deeper—yet often narrower—basis for executive action than legislation in moments of crisis.

In today's Rant, Stephen LeDrew takes aim at what he calls the growing gap between political messaging and reality in Canada.From Chrystia Freeland receiving international praise for democracy, to the courts ruling that the government's use of the Emergencies Act was illegal, LeDrew questions how accountability seems to be missing in Ottawa.He argues that while political leaders are being rewarded, many Canadians are still dealing with the consequences — including those affected by the trucker crackdown, rising costs, and economic uncertainty.LeDrew also breaks down Mark Carney's recent speech, calling it well-crafted, but largely aspirational, with little evidence of real progress on major issues like pipelines, economic growth, and affordability.As Canadians face higher prices for gas, groceries, rent, and taxes, the question becomes whether the government is delivering results — or simply managing perception.

It was a moment in Canadian history that the former Federal Government believed was due for sweeping powers. More than four years and two rounds of court reviews later, enacting the Emergencies Act maybe wasn't the right choice. Or if it was, Ottawa wasn't sufficient at proving why at the time. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Paul Daly, Chair in Administrative Law and Governance at the University of Ottawa, to discuss the threshold the courts believe Ottawa missed back in 2022, why the new Liberal government is still fighting for the Trudeau era, and whether or not Canada is due for a revamp of the Emergencies Act.

Welcome back to another episode of the Couple Casuals Podcast!In this episode, Stefano sits down with Jonathan Harvey — entrepreneur, political commentator, and host of the Blender Report — for a deep and unfiltered conversation about Canadian politics, global power shifts, and the future direction of the country.Jonathan breaks down the recent political landscape in Canada, including the transition from Justin Trudeau to Mark Carney, the Liberal Party's strategic positioning, and how media influence continues to shape public perception and election outcomes. He explains how political strategy, communication, and timing played a major role in the latest election — and why external factors like Donald Trump's influence had a significant impact on Canada's political direction. Throughout the episode, Stefano and Jonathan dive into:• how Mark Carney's leadership compares to Justin Trudeau• the role of media control in shaping Canadian elections• why Canada's economy is becoming increasingly fragile• the risks of shifting away from U.S. trade relationships• the concept of a “new world order” and what it means for Canada• how global alliances with China, the Middle East, and Europe could impact Canadians• the long-term consequences of selling infrastructure and assets to foreign investors• why Canada lacks a strong economic engine and productive output• the influence of government policy on energy, resources, and economic growth• how immigration policy ties into economic sustainability• concerns around political power, accountability, and government overreach• the Emergencies Act and what it revealed about Canada's institutions• the role of media, censorship, and narrative control in modern politicsJonathan also shares his perspective on how Canada has positioned itself globally — arguing that economic decisions, political strategy, and foreign relationships are pushing the country in a direction many Canadians may not fully understand yet.This episode is a raw and thought-provoking conversation about politics, power, economics, and the future of Canada — and why understanding the bigger picture has never been more important.Grab a casual, lock in, and let's get into it.Host: Stefano (stefo)Instagram: @drstefohttps://www.instagram.com/drstefo?igs...Guest: Jonathan Harvey Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsjonathanharvey?igsh=MXJ2cHV0bTF1OTY2bw==This episode is brought to you by Canada First — secure your home with Canada's best home fortification.

Derek Fildebrandt, Nigel Hannaford, Cory Morgan and Dave Naylor discuss the backlash over comments from Israel's ambassador to Canada about limiting freedoms in response to antisemitism, and the controversy over how governments and police have handled protests. The panel also examines Ottawa's appeal of court rulings against the Emergencies Act, the federal NDP leadership race and what it all reveals about civil liberties and political decline in Canada.

In this LeDrew Rant, Stephen LeDrew reacts to the court rulings that the Trudeau government's use of the Emergencies Act during the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests was illegal.Both the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal determined the government acted contrary to the law when invoking emergency powers.The Carney Cabinet (full of people Trudeau had appointed as his Ministers) has appealed that decision to its Supreme Court, but this judgement of illegal decision-making stands until, and “if”, reversed by the Supreme Court.But instead of consequences, many of the officials involved in the decision are still in positions of influence — and some have even been promoted.LeDrew questions why the architects of the decision continue to be rewarded by Carney while Canadians affected by the crackdown — including truckers whose bank accounts were frozen and livelihoods damaged — have received no compensation.He also raises the broader question of accountability in government, and whether Canadians should accept a system where illegal actions by political leaders carry no real penalty.Three minutes.

In today's rant, Stephen LeDrew reacts to the Federal Court ruling that the Emergencies Act was used illegally during the 2022 Freedom Convoy protests.LeDrew argues that Canadians should be asking serious questions about accountability after courts ruled the government of Justin Trudeau acted outside the law when invoking emergency powers to clear protests in Ottawa.He also challenges the silence from political leaders and legacy media, questioning why compensation has not been discussed for protesters who lost jobs, income, and freedom during the crackdown.The rant touches on broader themes including government accountability, independent media, historical narratives in Canada, and the importance of open debate in a democratic society.

Send a textWhat happens when a government turns its most powerful emergency legislation against its own citizens for honking horns? This episode examines one of the most consequential constitutional rulings in recent Canadian legal history: the Federal Court of Appeal's decision finding that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's invocation of the Emergencies Act against the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest was unlawful. Gavin Tighe and Stephen Thiele dissect the court's rigorous analysis of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, specifically the Section 2 protections for political speech and Section 8 protections against unreasonable search and seizure, and ask the harder question: when government wields extraordinary power and achieves its objectives, does a court ruling after the fact actually matter? Listen For:2:17 What qualifies as a true national emergency in Canada?5:43 Why was the Emergencies Act invoked during the Freedom Convoy protests?9:31 Why did the Federal Court rule the Emergencies Act was used improperly?17:31 Can the government freeze your bank account for supporting a protest?22:46 Should extreme government powers ever be used to stop civil disobedience? Leave a rating/review for this podcast with one clickContact UsGardiner Roberts website | Gavin email | Stephen email  

A court of Appeal deemed the Emergencies Act was used illegally in February 2022. If another crisis hits tomorrow, what standards would government have to meet? Did we learn any lessons, or will this happen again?  David Leis speaks with Josh DeHaas of the Canadian Constitution Foundation, the team behind the court action. Josh explains how vague emergency definitions, secrecy in governance, and unchecked executive power could shape future policy decisions.  With legislation like Bill C-8, Bill C-9, and Bill C-15 expanding government authority, the real question is no longer what happened, but what policy changes, if any, are being made to stop it from happening again.

In today's Three Minutes, Stephen LeDrew is joined by Peter Shurman, former Ontario MPP and radio host, to discuss the legal and political fallout from the Federal Court of Appeal ruling on the Trudeau Government's use of the Emergencies Act.With the courts now confirming the Act should not have been invoked, the conversation turns to a question largely ignored in mainstream media - what happens to the Canadians whose bank accounts were frozen, trucks seized, jobs lost, or freedoms curtailed?Shurman argues that the issue is no longer about whether one agreed with the protests, but whether a government that acted unlawfully has a responsibility to compensate citizens who suffered real and lasting harm. He also addresses the balance between protest rights, public inconvenience, and the dangerous precedent set when extraordinary state powers are misused. Hosted on Acast.

The Globe and Mail reports that the Canadian Armed Forces have quietly run a hypothetical scenario most people would never expect — a U.S. military invasion of Canada, and how this country might respond. What do you think of Donald Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace?" Today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said Canada won’t pay the reported one-billion-dollar U.S. entry fee to take part in the organization. Op-Ed in La Presse from the heads of Oxfam-Quebec and the non-profit Patriotic Millionaires Canada says that this country needs to tax the ultra-rich more. The Federal Court of Appeal ruled on Friday that the use of the Emergencies Act during the Freedom Convoy four years ago was unreasonable.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims breaks down the government's renewed push to gag your free speech and force you to pay for media you didn't choose — including the CBC, which just handed itself record-high pay raises after promising to cancel staff bonuses. Didn't Ottawa learn anything from the Emergencies Act ruling? A federal judge ruled that freezing the bank accounts of peaceful protestors was unconstitutional — and a massive overreach. So why is the government doubling down on censorship? Kris is joined by Canadian Constitution Foundation executive director Christine Van Geyn to unpack what that ruling means for civil liberties in Canada, and why it matters now more than ever. Plus — breaking news on the Tamara Lich sentencing. The Crown is seeking seven years in prison for a mischief conviction tied to the Freedom Convoy. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is speaking out — calling it a clear double standard in a justice system that routinely lets violent offenders walk free. And in Mississauga, a homeowner launches a legal challenge after city contractors destroyed his naturalized lawn without his consent. Christine explains why the Canadian Constitution Foundation is backing the case — and what's at stake for property rights and municipal taxpayers across the country. Learn more about your ad choices.

“Our strength is our freedom, and out of that freedom comes diversity, not the other way around.”  Freedom means being able to live by your values without being punished for them. It takes courage to speak up, strength to stand your ground, and the willingness to protect other people's rights—even when you don't agree with them. Real leadership doesn't shut people down. It listens, takes responsibility, and uses power carefully. A free country doesn't force everyone to think the same. It respects honest questions, pushes back against political spin, and trusts people to make their own choices.  Candice Bergen shares stories from her time in politics—what it was like during the trucker protests, how COVID-19 policy sowed division, and why the Emergencies Act was a turning point. She also opens up about the strategic decisions behind the 2025 election, the rise of podcasting in political outreach, and her belief in standing firm, even when unpopular.  Candice Bergen is the former leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition in Canada and the former interim leader of the Conservative Party. Today, she advises companies in the defense, natural resources, and tech sectors, with a focus on freedom, energy, and governance.  Expert action steps:  1. Show up.  2.

Send us a textI sit down with Dr. Salim Mansur, professor emeritus and political scientist, to explore the untold story behind Canada's multiculturalism policy. Dr. Mansur pulls back the curtain on the political, philosophical, and constitutional roots of multiculturalism in Canada—revealing how a once well-intentioned idea may now be weakening liberal democracy and national cohesion. From the War Measures Act to the Emergencies Act, and from Pierre Trudeau's grand vision to Justin Trudeau's declaration that Canada has “no core identity,” this conversation unpacks the real consequences of prioritizing group identity over individual liberty.Support the showVisit my NEW Website! https://www.christopherbalkaran.comCheck out my Instagram/Tik Tok for daily posts: Instagram @openmindspodTiktok @openmindspodcast

The argument that authoritarian governments are better at dealing with the climate emergency is gaining ground, fuelled by the idea that undemocratic states face fewer constraints and so can operate more efficiently and effectively. Some are even arguing that this isn't just a necessary evil but a legitimate policy response to pending environmental catastrophe. Yet the data suggests that on average authoritarian governments do not perform better, and on many measures actually do worse than democracies. So why does this idea persist? Join Nic Cheeseman as he talks to Nomi Claire Lazar and Jeremy Wallace about their new article on Resisting the Authoritarian Temptation. Why is democracy not delivering?
