The Federal Court has ruled the use of the Emergencies Act by the Trudeau government as a violation of charter.In his ruling, Justice Richard G. Mosley wrote “I have concluded that the decision to issue the Proclamation does not bear the hallmarks of reasonableness — justification, transparency and intelligibility — and was not justified in relation to the relevant factual and legal constraints that were required to be taken into consideration.”Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says that Ottawa will appeal the ruling.Many supporters of the truckers convoy that occupied Ottawa for a month and a day are celebrating this as a win. Where do we go from here?We unpack this issue with Michael Kempa, an Associate Professor of Criminology at the University of Ottawa, in Episode 40 of The Bill Kelly Podcast!#convoy #ottawa #truckersconvoy #protest #federalpolitics #justintrudeau #dougford #canada #canadalife #thebillkellypodcast #michaelkempa Listen to this podcast everywhere:https://kite.link/the-bill-kelly-podcastCheck out my YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@TheBillKellyPodcastSubscribe to my Substack: billkelly.substack.comConnect with me on social media:https://twitter.com/ThisIsBillKellyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/thisisbillkelly/https://www.instagram.com/thisisbillkelly/https://www.facebook.com/TheBillKellyPodcast Get full access to Bill Kelly's Substack at billkelly.substack.com/subscribe

There's no end in sight to the Ottawa protest, despite Ontario declaring a state of emergency Friday. Matt Galloway discusses the ongoing crisis — and growing frustration with police — with Michael Kempa, associate professor of criminology at the University of Ottawa; and former Attorney General of Canada Allan Rock.

Protests in Ottawa have entered their second week, with Mayor Jim Watson declaring a state of emergency. Matt Galloway discusses what happens next with Amarnath Amarasingam, an associate fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation; Regina Bateson, an assistant professor in the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa; and Michael Kempa, a professor of criminology at the University of Ottawa.

Concerns surrounding police power during and possibly after the COVID-19 state of emergency have been circulating following some questionable acts by law enforcement. We have heard reports of police officers ticketing people for not following physical distancing guidelines, and most recently we have heard that personal information of those who have been confirmed positive for COVID-19 will be available to law enforcement. This has people asking questions about how the frontline workers are enforcing these new laws and if there is a potential for abuse of their new power. Michael is an Associate Professor in the department of Criminology at the University of Ottawa and his area of research is exactly this. How states and non-state organizations attempt to institutionalize “police power”. Listen as he gives us a brief lesson in the history of policing and what is “normal” in these types of emergency situations, why we are handling it in this matter, potential dangers, and his views on misuse of power, bias, and what this could mean for new law enforcement policy post COVID-19. Aside from being a valuable resource, Mike also graces us with some very well executed accents from around the world as well as a musical performance! ConEdInstitute.com 2rmtsandamic.com
