Once again, we see federal courts in Canada strike down arguments of covid-era charter violations as moot.

In a case of 11 Canadians, each fined up to $3000 for contraventions to the Quarantine Act, Justice Avvy Yao-Yao Go said that the argument of infringements to the charter rights of the applicants is now “moot” since mask and vaccine mandates have since been lifted.

If, as Justice Go stated, there is “no longer any live controversy between the parties,” then the controversy of the fines should follow suit and be dismissed as moot as well.

The Quarantine Act, used by the federal government to enact severe draconian covid travel restrictions, giving the Trudeau government the power to place upon Canadians “unprecedented travel and isolation” requirements. The government tried to argue that its efforts were ‘good for the nation’, despite a plethora of scientific and medical evidence showing the opposite.

According to LifeSiteNews, Canada’s Public Health Agency spent $43 million hiring security to enforce quarantine rules by making house calls to returning travelers and levied a staggering $14.9 million in quarantine fines against Canadian citizens.

In court challenges across Canada, judges have previously acknowledged these pandemic orders as unconstitutional but follow it by stating ‘they were justified due to extraordinary circumstances.’ Federal Court Chief Justice Paul Crampton wrote, when dismissing a challenge against quarantine hotels, that they could be defined as “detentions,” but said that as in times of war, “pandemics call for sacrifices to save lives and avoid broad-based suffering.”

The problem remains, there was no evidence then that showed these ‘sacrifices’ held any merit, and there remains no scientific evidence for it at this time. Regardless of the lack of evidence, thousands of Canadians were subjected to ‘detention’ for exercising their right to move freely as citizens.

Case after case, lawyers have continued to argue that, unless the ‘Court grapples with a test case, even though it may be moot, the constitutionality of the measures’ imposed by the Quarantine Act ‘may never be examined.’
