Court File #: T-1991-21-ID

FEDERAL COURT OF CANADA BETWEEN:

SHAUN RICKARD AND KARL HARRISON - Applicants

-and-

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN, as represented by ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CANADA and TRANSPORT CANADA - Respondents. 

Like millions of Canadians, we’re disappointed with Justice Gagne’s decision and reasons and we will now set about challenging the decision in the Federal Court of Appeal.

Its incorrect to suggest that we have “substantially received the remedies sought” and this is highlighted by even a basic reading of our application notice. Six million Canadians, deprived unconstitutionally of protected rights for nearly a year and subjected to discrimination , will be as offended as we are that this judge felt that their concerns were not worth the cost of a 5 day hearing in the Federal Court. How could this court consider that there was no inconsistency in law that would justify the hearing if it had already decided not to hear the case at all.

Justice Gagne feels that it is not the role of the Court to prevent future government actions will be a surprise to the majority of Canadians who feel that the separation of powers in our country imposes upon our courts exactly that obligation where government policies are found to be unconstitutional, discriminatory and egregious. The first step towards meeting that solemn obligation is to actually hear the case, to listen to the concerns of those affected, and look at the issues rather than kick the can down the road!

The issues here are no more moot than is the behavior of an abusive spouse who beats their partner for a year, and demands absolution for doing no more than temporarily stopping whilst threatening to start all over again some time in the future. The abuse of mootness in the Canadian courts clearly needs to be reviewed.

Along with applicants in the other three cases we will press on towards appeal. We believe we will prevail. The road to justice can sometimes be a long one.

Thank you,

Karl & Shaun

A huge thank you for the lawsuit 2 years ago against the tyranic travel ban you put forward. Im convinced it`s thanks to you all implicated, they had to suspend/cancel it earlier than planed. With the court date arriving back then, all your proof that showed that it was absolutely poliitical and not scientific at all and the great article from Rupa Subramanya thaught the bullies a lesson.

WE MUST NEVER FORGIVE OR FORGET - PLEASE SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

July 7th, 2024

Here are some important reminders which clarify exactly why the newly appointed Attorney General of Canada, @viraniarif has been tasked with protecting Justin Trudeau at ANY cost. Including, ensuring that the evidence we uncovered in cross examinations during our initial Federal lawsuit is NEVER heard by Canadians or the world in a public Federal Court hearing.

Since late December, 2021, with the help of our amazing donors and supporters, we have been fighting a grueling legal battle to seek justice for approx. 6-7 million Canadians who were vindictively & illegally segregated, bullied, defamed, smeared and assaulted so that our tyrannical PM could create a wedge issue during a federal election amidst the so called 'pandemic'. All fueled by fraudulent scientific studies which the corrupt MSM, government officials and even federal Judges went along with, despite all of them knowing full well that the science was in fact 100% fake and manipulated.

With your help we will do everything in our power to prevent any current or future government from invoking such barbaric totalitarian measures ever again.

UPDATE: Ottawa Asks Court to Dismiss Latest Travel Vaccine Mandate Lawsuit

July 6th, 2024

Here is a summary of my original post on X/Twitter which I also tagged AGC, Arif Virani in, the post has received over 235K views.

"Arif Virani, we received your letter and Notice of Motion to strike our lawsuit this week. In said letter you state that you are seeking to have our lawsuit against you dismissed and stricken in its entirety, yet another despicable attempt to silence us and exhaust our finances before we even get to a hearing. Our crime, exposing @JustinTrudeau's crimes and lies.

It was hypocritical, diabolical and vile of you to post your support for one group of Canadians on X claiming that Online radicalization has led to increased hate and violence against the 2SLGBTQI+ community, yet provided zero data or stats to support your claim. And all the while behind the scenes you covertly attempt to silence another group of Canadians that your own government vindictively and illegally segregated, bullied, defamed, smeared and assaulted, simply because they refused to obey your master's tyrannical unlawful orders in order to create a wedge issue."

Attached is a full copy of the 6 page Notice of Motion filed against us to have our new Vaccine Travel Mandates lawsuit dismissed and stricken in its entirety

To clarify: At the time of filing our latest lawsuit back in late November of 2023, I was a Permanent Resident here in Canada for 25 years (Now a citizen), however my Co-Applicant, Karl Harrison has been a Canadian citizen since 2014.

To all the legal minds out there, please feel free to comment and weigh-in with your thoughts, and please share with your colleagues

Sadly, it may not be possible for us to move forward after fighting this motion without help from the public. We are determined to hold their feet over the coals, but sadly this could be the end of the road as fundraising has literally dried up, likely due to the recession and cost of living crisis that our incompetent & corrupt government has caused, and refuses to acknowledge.

Fighting this motion alone will be very costly, if you are by chance able to donate to our legal fund to help us see this through to the end, it would be very much appreciated - Thank you.

FEB. 17th 2024 - IMPORTANT UPDATES/ANNOUNCEMENTS REGARDING OUR LAWSUITS

February 17th, 2024

This week we sat down with Trish Wood (@WoodReporting) to discuss our two landmark lawsuits. In this interview Karl and I also announce that we will not be filing with the Supreme Court of Canada to appeal our initial case (which was deemed moot and denied a hearing). Instead we will be focusing our efforts and funding on the second damages lawsuit that we filed recently with the Federal Court, which cannot be deemed moot. Our reasons and rationale for this new strategy are outlined during our conversation here with Trish.

December 22nd, 2023

Watch my latest video update here: https://youtu.be/oSvt1Vf_KZc?si=v10KmcxRke0NHrHG

We'd very much like to hear your thoughts & feedback before our filing deadline in early January 2024.

Watch the video and let us know if you feel that we should file and apply to have our historic landmark Vaccine Travel Mandates lawsuit heard by the Supreme Court of Canada?


WE JUST FILED A SECOND LAWSUIT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT - Vaccine Travel Mandates

November 30th, 2023

In our new lawsuit, which we filed with the Federal Court today, we are now suing the Government for damages - Link to our Statement of Claim below.

We have taken this unexpected path as it appears to be the only option we have left to potentially ensure that the extensive evidentiary record that we compiled from our original Vaccine Travel Mandates lawsuit will be heard in Federal Court, in a public hearing.

This option was actually presented to us at our Mootness hearings, by both Justice Gagne (Federal Court) and Justice Locke (Federal Court of Appeal). Both Judges also went on to clearly state that the evidence from our original case could be submitted in any future damages claims or lawsuits.

To be clear, right from the get go it was never our intention to seek financial compensation, we didn't want to appear to be looking to make any monetary gains from our lawsuit. It was always solely about ensuring that the Canadian government could never implement or invoke such tyrannical and unconstitutional mandates on Canadian citizens ever again. However, our seemingly compromised judiciary and so called legal system have essentially left us with no choice, not if we are to have any hope whatsoever of having our case heard at a public hearing anyway.

I will shoot a video in the coming days when we all have more time to provide you all with a more detailed explanation and breakdown as to what our strategy is, and the rationale behind why we chose this new direction in our search for justice.

Epoch Times story on our new lawsuit

November 30th, 2023

For non-subscribers to Epoch Times, below is a text copy of the story written and published by Noe Chartier, covering the new lawsuit that we filed yesterday (November 29th) against the Attorney General of Canada and Minister of Transportation.

*My original post officially announcing our new lawsuit, our rationale behind it and a copy of our 'Statement of Claim' can be found here: https://x.com/ShaunRickard67/status/1730061973369311345?s=20

Original Challengers to Travel Vaccine Mandate File New Lawsuit for Damages After Court Defeats

The two businessmen who first challenged the federal government in court over its travel vaccine mandate have filed a new lawsuit seeking damages after receiving two unfavourable rulings.

Shaun Rickard and Karl Harrison filed their new statement of claim in federal court on Nov. 29 against the minister of transport and the attorney general.

This new lawsuit follows a defeat in the Federal Court of Appeals on Nov. 9. The court upheld the ruling of a lower court saying their initial case is moot.

Four different parties, including Mr. Rickard and Mr. Harrison, sought to overturn a ruling made by Justice Jocelyne Gagné in October last year.

Justice Gagné said that because the Liberal government had suspended the vaccine mandates in June 2022, there is no controversy to adjudicate and the challengers have already received the remedy sought.

In a post on the X platform, Mr. Rickard said they have decided to take a new path and sue the government for damages, which they had not done the first time around.

“Right from the get go it was never our intention to seek financial compensation, we didn't want to appear to be looking to make any monetary gains from our lawsuit,” he said.

“It was always solely about ensuring that the Canadian government could never implement or invoke such tyrannical and unconstitutional mandates on Canadian citizens ever again.”

Mr. Rickard says the new lawsuit is being filed to ensure that the extensive evidence collected during the proceedings for the first case doesn’t go to waste. Around 13,000 pages of records were collected, from expert reports to testimonies from the architects of the travel mandate policy.

These records indicate that the Transport Canada official in charge of crafting the travel mandate policy had not considered whether it was ethical to implement it. There was also no recommendation of public health authorities to impose a mandate, said the official during cross-examination.

Mr. Harrison and Mr. Rickard in their new action are claiming constitutional damages in the amount of $1,000,000 for the violation of their charter rights.The government nevertheless wanted to be a world leader with the stringency of its mandate, which had for purpose of being a “catalyst” to drive vaccine uptake.$1 Million in Damages

The statement says the damages were incurred “as a result of government decision-making and actions that were rooted in negligence, bad faith and that were willfully blind as to the lack of scientific evidence and/or disconfirming scientific evidence regarding the efficacy, safety and role of Covid-19 vaccination in the transportation sector.”

The plaintiffs claim that due to the vaccine mandates put in place by the Liberal government in October 2021, they were identified as belonging to a “new, segregated class” of unvaccinated people who could not travel by plane or train.

As a result, the claim states the plaintiffs could not visit their parents in the U.K. who are in poor health, or conduct business activities.

The claim alleges that the vaccine mandates were political, given they were part of the Liberal Party’s political platform, and that they lacked data about the effectiveness of a mandate in the transportation sector.

Evidence obtained during the first lawsuit showed the government had little to no data indicating vaccination increased protection against in-flight transmission of the virus.

The lawsuit also alleges that the defendants were “aware that the Covid-19 vaccines presented possible health/safety risks to Canadians but continued to publicly promote these vaccines as ‘safe’ and ‘effective’ notwithstanding scientific evidence to the contrary which was ignored and not communicated to Canadians.”

The Liberal government suspended its vaccine mandates on June 20, 2022.

Then-transport minister Omar Alghabra said at the time that the “mandatory vaccination requirement successfully mitigated the full impact of COVID-19 for travellers and workers in the transportation sector and provided broader protection to our communities.”

Then-health minister Jean-Yves Duclos said for his part that the science is “perfectly clear on one thing: vaccination remains the single most effective way to protect ourselves, our families, our communities, and our economy against COVID-19.”

Government data and real-world experience show the vaccine mandate had little impact in stopping the spread, with the Omicron variant wave in late 2021 to early 2022 not discriminating between those who received injections and those who didn’t.

“Vaccine effectiveness against infection, symptomatic disease, and transmission with two doses was initially ~<50 to 60%, but waned over time to near zero after six months,” wrote the Public Health Agency of Canada in a Feb. 28, 2022, document entered as evidence in the first lawsuit.

The first lawsuit included PPC Leader Maxime Bernier and former Newfoundland premier Brian Peckford.

The federal government will file its statement of defence at a later date.

NEWS ARTICLE: Federal Court Rejects Appeal from Travel Vaccine Mandate Challengers

November 10th, 2023

From Noe Chartier at Epoch Times.

The Federal Court of Appeal has upheld the ruling of a lower court which declared that lawsuits against the Liberal government for its travel vaccine mandate can be dismissed due to "mootness."

Justice George Locke wrote in his Nov. 9 decision that there was no “palpable and overriding error” in the October 2022 decision made by Federal Court Justice Jocelyne Gagné.

Justice Locke said that “this Court can intervene only in the case of a palpable and overriding error by the Federal Court, or an extricable error of law.”

He added that many arguments from the appellants are “directed to urging this Court to decide for itself whether to exercise discretion. Again, that is not our role.”

Justice Locke was supported in his decision by the two other judges who sat on the panel which heard from the appellants on Oct. 11.

Four groups of Canadians have challenged the federal vaccine mandate for travel, which was in place from October 2021 to June 2022.

Shortly after the Liberal government suspended the mandate, the Attorney General filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuits over "mootness," arguing there was no longer any live controversy to adjudicate.

Justice Gagné agreed, saying the appellants had received the remedies sought given the mandate was not in place anymore and that “no important public interest” existed to justify using court resources on the matter.

During the October hearing, appellants sought to challenge the notion that there is no important public interest, citing the fact that the government mandate was only suspended and could be brought back.

“I find no merit in this argument,” said Justice Locke. “The appellants’ argument based on that threat was considered by the Federal Court but dismissed as highly speculative.”

He added “there is a difference between a case that raises an issue in which many people are personally interested in having a decision, and a case that raises ‘an issue of public importance of which a resolution is in the public interest.’”

Appellants have argued that approximately six million Canadians were denied mobility rights during the mandate and want the court to rule on the constitutionality of the matter.

“In 2022, this sub-class of citizens, the non-vaccinated, found themselves assimilated to Cubans under Fidel Castro's regime,” said appellant Nabil Ben Naoum during the Oct. 11 hearing.

“These six million citizens, of which I am one ... found themselves prisoners of their country. I repeat this because all too often I have encountered people who have not grasped the full implications of the debate.”

Other appellants include former Newfoundland premier Brian Peckford, PPC Leader Maxime Bernier, and businessmen Karl Harrison and Shaun Rickard.

Mr. Peckford and Mr. Bernier are represented by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF). Allison Pejovic, a lawyer funded by the JCCF, said the two men are “disappointed” by the decision.

“The consequences of this decision is that there will be no justice for the Appellants and millions of unvaccinated Canadians whose lives were turned upside down by the federal government’s decision to prohibit them from travelling across the country and from leaving Canada,” she told The Epoch Times in a statement.

Mr. Rickard said in an interview he disagrees his case is of no public interest and noted the record amount of people who signed up with the court to watch the live hearing remotely.

“These three judges claim there was no public interest in our case,” he said. "Give me a break. This is outrageous and absurd."

The judicial proceedings for the cases saw multiple government witnesses providing evidence in regard to why and how the vaccine mandate was put in place.

The evidence shows the federal government sought to impose a “world-leading” and “one of the strongest” vaccine mandate, which effectively remained an outlier amongst other countries in terms of stringency.

Government officials also testified that Health Canada had not recommended a mandate, that ethics had not been considered, and that there was little to no data suggesting it would prevent the spread of in-flight transmission of the virus.

The mandate, however, was considered a “catalyst” to drive vaccine uptake.

OPEN LETTER AND A FULL SUMMARY OF OUR RECENT HEARING IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF APPEAL IN OTTAWA

October 16th, 2023

*Share this widely on social media or directly repost it via my X (Twitter) account: https://twitter.com/ShaunRickard67 

Open letter to all Canadian Conservative Party MP's - A public response is respectfully requested.

My co-applicant, Karl Harrison & myself, Brian Peckford, Maxime Bernier, Nabil Ben Naoum and 6 million of our fellow Canadians would like to know if at any point you plan to finally stand up in the HoC to speak up and publicly address our landmark lawsuit against Justin Trudeau's heinous and vindictive vaccine travel mandates?

Our ongoing lawsuit is one of the most important legal challenges in recent Canadian history. The Canadian legacy media have been ordered to never report on it, under any circumstances, despite all of the bombshell evidence which was uncovered by our legal teams during the cross examinations of 16 of the government's very own medical experts and senior public health officials, which exposed the Trudeau Government's lies regarding their fabricated reasons/rationales for invoking said mandates.

We are currently potentially facing unprecedented judicial injustice due to the blatant biases and partisanship of our seemingly heavily compromised and skewed so called 'justice system', yet all of you at the CPC continue to hide in the shadows and remain silent on this very serious and important issue, and we'd like to know why?

I would hazard a guess that at least one of you observed the proceedings via Zoom, or at the very least had someone attend on your behalf to watch and report back to you with a summary. If this was in fact the case, your response would be very much appreciated, or at the very least it might act as a show of good faith and acknowledgement to the 6 million Canadians who's lives and livelihoods were heavily impacted and negatively affected by Trudeau's tyrannical, 100% unscientific, and as our evidentiary record cleary demonstrates, nothing more than politically motivated mandates.

You all have an opportunity to do the right thing here and prove once and for all to ALL Canadians that you care and are in fact supportive of fighting for and protecting Canadians charter rights, should you choose to do so.

We await your response - Thank you.

FYI: On Wednesday October 11th, 2023 our lawsuit broke a Canadian record for the largest number of people ever registering to watch a Federal Court of Appeal hearing. The Court Zoom team confirmed that 19,000+ Canadians had registered to watch the hearing live.

FULL SUMMARY OF OUR RECENT HEARING IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF APPEAL IN OTTAWA

Travel Vaccine Mandate Challengers in Court to Contest Previous Mootness Ruling.

"Challengers to the now-repealed travel vaccine mandate pleaded before the Federal Court of Appeal on Oct. 11 to overturn a previous court decision declaring their case was moot.

Four different groups of appellants made their case in front of a panel of three judges, each taking various approaches to challenge the previous ruling made by Justice Jocelyne Gagné in October last year.

Quebec lawyer Nabil Ben Naoum, who represents himself, sought to impress upon the appeal judges what it meant to not be vaccinated during the mandate period from October 2021 to June 2022.

He argued that those who didn’t receive a COVID-19 vaccine were captive within Canada due to planes, trains, and commercial passenger marine vessels being off-limits. The U.S. also blocked access to non-vaccinated travellers at that time.

The only way for unvaccinated Canadians to leave the country was to "paddle in a row boat across the ocean," said Mr. Ben Naoum. He added that this “sub-class” of unvaccinated citizens was akin to Cubans under Fidel Castro.

Mr. Ben Naoum also asked how the government could withhold fundamental human rights, hand them back at the eleventh hour, and then claim the issue is moot and shouldn't be examined by the court.

The federal travel vaccine mandate was lifted on June 20, 2022, and eight days later the attorney general (AG) filed a mootness motion in order for the cases not to be heard by the court.

Justice Gagné essentially agreed with all the arguments presented by the government. She declared that the applicants had “substantially received the remedies sought,” given the mandate had been repealed.

This issue of there being no public interest is an angle that was tackled by the counsels representing other parties in the mandate challenge in order to question Justice Gagné’s ruling. There is therefore “no live controversy to adjudicate,” she wrote. “There is no important public interest or inconsistency in the law that would justify allocating significant judicial resources to hear these moot Applications. ”'Significant' Public Interest

Other parties include businessmen Karl Harrison and Shaun Rickard, who were the first to file a challenge to the mandate in December 2021, PPC Leader Maxime Bernier, and former Newfoundland premier Brian Peckford and co-applicants.

Attorney Sam Presvelos, representing Mr. Harrison and Mr. Rickard, pleaded that Justice Gagné had made three errors in her decision, including that she did not consider the “significant” public interest in the judicial applications.

Justice George Locke, who was presiding the hearing, asked to clarify whether Mr. Presvelos wanted him to accept that Justice Gagné made her ruling without having the public interest in mind. “How could that be?” he asked.

Mr. Presvelos pointed to Justice Gagné’s decision, which said the “important public interest” is “alleged.”

Mr. Presvelos argued that the case is larger than the rights of the appellants or the general public who remained unvaccinated, which numbers in the millions.

He said he believes that Canadians would be “very interested” to know whether or not a medical procedure could be imposed as a condition to access federally regulated services.

Allison Peijovic, a lawyer with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms representing Mr. Bernier and Mr. Peckford, centred her arguments around jurisprudence on the issue of mootness, established in Borowski v Canada (AG) in 1989.

Challengers want the court to determine whether the imposition of the travel mandate was constitutional, given the impacts on mobility rights and the security of the person as it pertains to bodily autonomy. She argued that Justice Gagné did not fully analyze her clients’ applications against that jurisprudence, which addresses issues of whether a live controversy between parties remains.

Constitutionality

Ms. Peijovic remarked that her client Mr. Peckford is the only living signatory of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He attested that the interim orders implementing the mandate violated his charter rights.

Ms. Peijovic said the court must pronounce itself on the matter, otherwise, Canadians remain in “limbo.” If they don’t know where the court stands on the lawfulness of the mandate, she said some are wondering whether they should move out of Canada.

She said the appellants want to know whether their freedom to leave Canada is conditional on taking a novel medication still undergoing testing.

COVID-19 vaccines were brought to market under special authorization without having gone through full clinical trials. Pfizer also used different processes to manufacture the product that was used in clinical trials and the one that was widely distributed across the world.

Justice Canada senior general counsel J. Sanderson Graham assured the Federal Court of Appeal that no errors were made in this case.

Mr. Graham agreed with the appellants’ argument that the government has left open the door to bring back mandates in response to circumstances, but he said the court could not “engage in speculation” or pass judgement on speculation. “We can only look at what happened,” he said, and the measures were repealed.

Because of that, there are no live controversies, said Mr. Graham, and the function of the court is to decide “real disputes” that affect the rights of individuals.

He said that Justice Gagné was right in her interpretation of Borowski and the economy of judicial resources. There is no tangible relief that can be provided to the applicants, he said.

If the panel of judges, which Justices George Locke, Nathalie Goyette, and René Leblanc, sides with the appellants, the case will be sent back down to federal court to be heard. If it upholds the mootness ruling, appellants could decide to go to the Supreme Court.

Appellants want to have their day in court, having collected thousands of pages of evidence from government witnesses and experts, on everything from the approval process for vaccines in Canada to ethical considerations being applied before imposing a mandate.

The evidence collected shows that the Transport Canada official in charge of crafting the travel mandate policy had not considered whether it was ethical to implement it. There was also no recommendation of public health authorities to impose a mandate, said the official during cross-examination."

Here's why you may need to re-register: At this time we cannot confirm if this error was intentional or simply a technical glitch on the FCOA's end, but after receiving numerous private messages and comments across all of our SM platforms, it has become clear that many of you who registered earlier on using the original link provided by the FCOA have not yet received your confirmation e-mails to attend the hearing via Zoom. It would appear that during the switch over to the new 'more convenient' registration link which was created due to an overwhelming response by the public to attend, that hundreds, potentially even thousands of you may have been wiped from the list.

More details on the shenanigans we have been dealing with from the Federal Court here: https://x.com/ShaunRickard67/status/1705597019589357690?s=20

So once again, if you have not yet received a confirmation e-mail from the FCOA with a Zoom link, please register again immediately using the link below, it literally takes 10 seconds: https://cas-satj.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VehMKVguTaaZ5YIlZPMN3A#/registration

FEDERAL COURT OF APPEAL HEARING UPDATE - ZOOM REGISTRATION & DIRECT WEB LINK

October 2nd, 2023

Only 8 days to go until our mootness hearing in the Federal Court of Appeal (FCOA) in Ottawa.

*Please help us get attendance numbers up by sharing and reposting this update and information far and wide.

It's imperative that ALL Canadians, who's lives & livelihoods were negatively impacted by the heinous & tyrannical vaccine travel mandates register to attend this hearing. By doing so it will clearly demonstrate to the Canadian Judicial system, Judges, government officials and the media just how extensive the support and public interest is in this landmark case/lawsuit.

Even if you're unsure whether or not you'll be busy that day, please register anyway, you are in no way obligated to attend if for some reason you are unable make it.

We estimate that between 10,000 and 20,000 of you have registered to attend via Zoom already, but for those who haven't done so already, be sure to sign up to watch the hearing live before the FCOA cut off registrations.

Link to register below:

IMPORTANT UPDATE - September 23rd, 2023 - New web link to register to watch our FCOA hearing via Zoom

September 23rd, 2023

IMPORTANT UPDATE - Due to the incredibly large amount of you who have been registering to attend our landmark Vaccine Travel Mandates mootness hearing being held at the Federal Court of Appeal (FCOA) on October 11th, 2023 live via Zoom, the FCOA have been forced to put together a team dedicated to managing and handling the huge public interest and record number of registrations. Their IT team have now also set up a new direct 'self registration' Zoom web link.

*All previous links I have posted are now null and void.

We are the lead case in these proceedings, however here is the new registration link which will automatically register you to observe all four party's hearings as they will all be running concurrently on the day: https://cas-satj.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VehMKVguTaaZ5YIlZPMN3A#/registration

*If you have already registered, you do not need to do so again.

FCOA are denying us disclosure of Zoom registration numbers - We are unsure as to why right now, and less than pleased, but as of this week the FCOA staff have been instructed not to release any further updates as to the total number of Canadians who have registered to attend the hearing via Zoom. Personally I think that someone may have made a call after realizing that the prior release of these numbers to us, which I subsequently posted here on X was inspiring and encouraging too many of you to sign up to watch the hearing. This is just my own opinion of course, let me know what you think in the comments.

This is the response I received yesterday via e-mail from a Clerk at the FCOA:

"Good afternoon Mr. Rickard,

I spoke with my supervisor and our position remains that we can no longer disclose the number of registered participants. As previously mentioned and since the public can now register directly, the number of requests cannot be disclosed.

Since the number of registrations continues to evolve, especially in view of self-service registration, we cannot divulge a number."

It is imperative that ALL Canadians, who's lives & livelihoods were negatively impacted by the heinous & tyrannical vaccine travel mandates register to attend this hearing. By doing so it will clearly demonstrate to the Canadian Judicial system, Judges, government officials and the media just how extensive the support and public interest is in this landmark case/lawsuit.

Even if you're unsure whether or not you'll be busy that day, please register anyway, you are in no way obligated to attend if for some reason you are unable make it.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Two of the primary rationales given by Justice Gagne for declaring our lawsuit moot last September are attached and can be seen below, but let me explain a little further.

1. [47] As a result, the Court is of the view that the judicial economy considerations outweigh the alleged important public interest and uncertainty in the law. = Justice Gagne felt that a public 5-day hearing would be a waste of court resources and that the financial costs would not be justified or warranted.

2. [49] There is no important public interest or inconsistency in the law that would justify allocating significant judicial resources to hear these moot Applications. = Justice Gagne felt that there would be no public interest in the case, and therefore it would be a waste of the court's time and resources.

Once again, you can register here to attend the hearing live via Zoom, it literally takes a few seconds to register: https://cas-satj.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VehMKVguTaaZ5YIlZPMN3A

September 7th, 2023

Help us hit our goal of having 10,000 Canadians register to virtually attend our very important Vaccine Travel Mandates mootness appeal hearing in Ottawa on October 11th. Over 4,000 people have already registered thus far - Link to register below.

FYI: "A lack of public interest" was one of the primary rationales given by Justice Gagne for declaring our lawsuit moot last September.

Vaccine travel mandates lawsuit - Update - Federal Court of Appeal hearing October 2023

August 17th, 2023

Our hearing date at the Federal Court of Appeal (FCOA) in Ottawa this October (2023) is fast approaching. Due to the MSM censoring and burying our case, here are some updates and reminders as to what's transpired so far and what our legal team uncovered during cross examinations of the Trudeau Government's Senior Health Officials and Bureaucrats. We are extremely confident of a win at the FCOA after the Justice Gagne fiasco in Ottawa back in September 2022, the evidence doesn't lie.

I will post links to the official hearing information, dates and online registration etc. here as soon as we have it.

As always, any support to help cover our extensive legal costs is greatly appreciated: https://givesendgo.com/TheCanadianLitigationAndFreedomFund

Federal Court of Appeal (FCOA) update - May 4th 2023

May 4th, 2023

UPDATE: All documents and pleadings have been filed and accepted by the FCOA, we are now simply awaiting our hearing date, which will hopefully see us back in court in the next month or two. I will keep you all posted, but know this, we have a VERY strong case and predict a victory in overturning Justice Gagne's extremely weak and badly written mootness ruling. If you are able to donate to help cover our legal costs and keep this important legal challenge going it would be greatly appreciated.

Lawyers for the other three Appellants, including Maxime Bernier and Brian Peckford have also submitted their final pleadings and arguments etc. However, their versions are less comprehensive and essentially rely on the information in our filings and the extensive evidentiary record that we have compiled over the past sixteen months as the lead case in this lawsuit.

If you are not familiar with our case, or the bombshell revelations that our Lawyer, Sam Presvelos uncovered during two months of cross examinations of fifteen expert government witnesses & high profile health officials last Spring, please follow this link, you will find all the information you need here, including court documents and cross examination transcripts etc.

You will also find a link to download Associate Chief Justice Gagne’s very poorly written ‘REASONS’ & ruling and the three most relevant cross examination transcripts which were referenced in great detail in all UK and US media reports and podcast interviews. However, despite the bombshell revelations we uncovered, and the fact that our landmark lawsuit is one of the biggest and most important in recent Canadian history, Canadian MSM have flat out refused to cover or report on our story.

https://www.freedomandjustice.ca/litigation

Cross examinations FYI:
1. Dr. CELIA LOURENCO - Director General, Health Canada. Approved and signed off on the use of ALL Covid-19 vaccines in Canada. However… she was not approached by her overlords in the Trudeau government to provide any expert advice or even her opinion on the vaccine travel mandates.

2. JENNIFER LITTLE - Career bureaucrat - Headed up the secretive and somewhat covert 20-person 'Covid Recovery Team' at Transport Canada - None of her team had epidemiological backgrounds.

3. ELENI GALANIS - Director General for Integrated Risk Assessment in the Public Health Agency of Canada. Also advisor to Dr. Theresa Tam.

Important update and status report from Shaun - Federal Court of Appeal hearing 2023

April 6th, 2023

We're currently awaiting a date for our Federal Court of Appeal hearing in Ottawa. Our Lawyers have filed all documents & submissions, but there is still much work to be done as we prepare for this landmark hearing.

Full video update here: https://rumble.com/v227qz2-urgent-update-vaccine-travel-mandates-lawsuit-round-two-begins-in-the-new-y.html

We will be heading back into court in the coming weeks/months at the Federal Court of Appeal (FCOA) in Ottawa to challenge Assistant Chief Justice Gagne’s mootness ruling. If any of you have read Justice Gagne's ruling and rationale, you will know that we have a very good chance of a win in the FCOA.

You can download and read Justice Gagne's ruling here: https://www.freedomandjustice.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/T-145-22-REASONS.pdf

These legal road blocks which the Attorney General of Canada, PM Trudeau and Transport Canada relentlessly throw at us continue to rack up our legal costs, so please consider donating to our legal fund to help us see this through to the end.

Canadian MSM remain silent and refuse to cover our landmark lawsuit, and the bombshell revelations which were revealed during our Lawyer's cross examinations of key government expert witnesses and senior health officials. Trudeau DOES NOT want our evidence being revealed to the Canadian public at any cost, so all shares of our videos and posts would be very much appreciated to get this story out and fresh in the minds of Canadians once again.

We will keep you all posted over the coming weeks, stay tuned!

Thank you,

We have officially filed our appeal with the Federal Court of Appeal challenging Justice Gagne’s mootness ruling.Update #52

November 20th, 2022

We have officially filed our appeal with the Federal Court of Appeal (FCOA) challenging Assistant Chief Justice Gagne’s mootness ruling.

I have posted a PDF copy of our official application to the FCOA on our Facebook group for review by those who wish to do so: https://www.facebook.com/groups/durhamdissident

These legal road blocks which the Attorney General of Canada (AGC), PM Trudeau and Transport Canada relentlessly throw at us continue to rack up our legal costs. Not only for preparation to fight back in the courts, but also as far as costs every time a Judge rules in their favour. For example, our costs to prepare, attend and fight the mootness motion filed against us by the AGC was approximately $30K, and now to add insult to injury the AGC is seeking $44K in legal costs. All this before we even step into a hearing in the FCOA, and if successful we still need to consider and make provision for the costs we will incur for our final hearing.

Never the less, despite all of this being a clear strategy to get us to fold our cards and walk away… we will NEVER back down, nor will we ever give up this fight until all avenues and resources at our disposal are exhausted. It is absolutely imperative that all four cases receive their day in court for the final 5-day hearing, we need to ensure that a precedent is set in the courts to prevent our tyrannical government from ever invoking these, or similar draconian unconstitutional measures again.

If you are able, please consider making a tax deductible donation to help cover our legal costs via our new 100% secure charitable foundation. Donations can be made by mail, E-transfer or credit card: https://www.freedomandjustice.ca/support-ifj/

Justice Gagne's official ruling and decisions on the mootness motion - Downloadable PDF now available

November 4th, 2022

I have now posted a downloadable PDF copy of Justice Gagne's official ruling on our Facebook Group, direct link below:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/durhamdissident/permalink/1297547934338679 

A statement from Karl Harrison.

November 3rd, 2022

Federal Court case # T-1991-21 – Shaun Rickard & Karl Harrison v Attorney General of Canada - Vaccine travel mandates lawsuit.
“Like millions of Canadians, we’re disappointed with Justice Gagne’s decision and reasons and we will now set about challenging the decision in the Federal Court of Appeal.
Its incorrect to suggest that we have “substantially received the remedies sought” and this is highlighted by even a basic reading of our application notice. Six million Canadians, deprived unconstitutionally of protected rights for nearly a year and subjected to discrimination , will be as offended as we are that this judge felt that their concerns were not worth the cost of a 5 day hearing in the Federal Court. How could this court consider that there was no inconsistency in law that would justify the hearing if it had already decided not to hear the case at all.
Justice Gagne feels that it is not the role of the Court to prevent future government actions will be a surprise to the majority of Canadians who feel that the separation of powers in our country imposes upon our courts exactly that obligation where government policies are found to be unconstitutional, discriminatory and egregious. The first step towards meeting that solemn obligation is to actually hear the case, to listen to the concerns of those affected, and look at the issues rather than kick the can down the road!
The issues here are no more moot than is the behavior of an abusive spouse who beats their partner for a year, and demands absolution for doing no more than temporarily stopping whilst threatening to start all over again some time in the future. The abuse of mootness in the Canadian courts clearly needs to be reviewed.
Along with applicants in the other three cases we will press on towards appeal. We believe we will prevail. The road to justice can sometimes be a long one.”
URGENT UPDATE & NEWS RELEASE - Justice Gagne has made her ruling on the mootness motion.

November 3rd, 2022

Federal Court Case # T-1991-21 – Shaun Rickard & Karl Harrison v Attorney General of Canada
Today we received the judgement of Assistant Chief Justice Jocelyne Gagne in relation to the motion by the Attorney General to dismiss our case as being moot. Justice Gagne has agreed with the Attorney General that the issues are moot and has dismissed our case. She has also dismissed the other three cases including the applications by Maxime Bernier and Brian Peckford. This does not mean that the Court has made a judgement against our challenges. Justice Gagne has simply refused to hear the pleadings or to look at the evidence. The government’s motion was heard by Justice Gagne on September 21st in Ottawa and we are surprised that the court took nearly a month to make a decision, issuing it just 11 days from the scheduled 5 day hearing of the main case which was due to start on the 31st of October in Ottawa. Justice Gagne has not yet issued any reasons for her decision. We are disappointed with the decision and, subject to the reasons when given, we will look to commence work immediately on an appeal. That appeal will also allow us to challenge the way mootness is used in Canada to facilitate poor government policy to avoid legal scrutiny; to allow the judiciary to shirk their responsibilities, and to deny justice to Canadians. Whilst our legal challenges have certainly been effective in forcing the Trudeau government to suspend the vaccine mandate for travel, hearing the case now would have provided an opportunity for the government to explain its actions and for the Canadian people to hear the evidence. We cannot know if any political pressure was brought to bear on the court in this instance but given the high stakes it surely cannot be said to be impossible. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s so called “vaccine mandate” for travel was an ill-conceived and discriminatory policy devised as a wedge issue for Trudeau’s 2021 General Election campaign. The evidence obtained under oath in our case has already shown that the mandate lacked any coherent scientific basis and that no recommendation for its implementation was received from either the Public Health Agency of Canada, or Health Canada. Our legal challenge is a political hot potato and, alongside the Public Order Emergency Commission taking place in Ottawa at the present time, it highlights the reckless and opportunistic behaviour of a poor quality and abusive government. We believe that the Court has made a mistake and has tragically misjudged the public interest in this case. The court is there to ensure that justice is not only done but seen to be done and it is there to uphold the values and rights enshrined in our Charter of Rights & Freedoms. It has failed on this occasion and its failure will likely serve to undermine the credibility of the Federal Court. Justice Gagne may consider that she has successfully passed the political hot potato to someone else, or that she has in some way helped the Trudeau government to sweep under the carpet its mismanagement and its malevolence toward Canadians, but we will continue to work throughout the appeal process to ensure that the important issues raised by these legal challenges continue to be discussed in Canada, internationally and, eventually, in the Federal Court.

If you would like to know the REAL reason behind why the Trudeau government are revoking the vaccine travel mandates... watch this video. This is what the Liberal Government are afraid of right now, and the reason they do not, under any circumstances want our case to reach a final conclusion in Federal Court. The Attorney General of Canada and his team of ten Lawyers have, are and will continue to do anything in their power to prevent our case, and three others from making it to our scheduled 5-day final public hearing on October 31st. The bombshell revelations which were uncovered by our incredibly talented Lawyer, Sam Presvelos during cross examination of the Governments very own expert witnesses while under oath will shock Canadians, and what has come out during these proceedings have made the Trudeau government extremely nervous, and as a result they are literally scrambling to sweep their crimes and deceit under the rug in a last ditched effort to bury this landmark lawsuit.

URGENT UPDATE & CALL TO ACTION + DIRECT ZOOM LINK - VACCINE TRAVEL MANDATES LAWSUIT - MOOTNESS HEARING THIS WEEK

September 18th, 2022

PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT US - DEMOCRACY AS WE ONCE KNEW IT MAY VERY WELL DEPEND ON IT: If you are able to gather outside of the courthouse to show the media, the court and the government that we mean business, and that these four cases are far from moot please see the date, location and time below: Date: September 21st 2022 Time: 9.30am (One day hearing) Location: Ottawa Federal Court, 90 Spark Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0H9 To everyone who attends, PLEASE keep things civil, peaceful and respectful. DO NOT give the Police, MSM or the government any excuses to brand us as unruly radical extremists. If you are unable to make it to Ottawa in-person, simply follow the link below to register and attend the hearing virtually. Zoom registration link: https://cas-satj.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_p-zrAg2WSfqtFS-ZBPWK-g More details about the hearing here: https://www.fct-cf.gc.ca/en/court-files-and-decisions/hearing-lists SUMMARY & INFORMATION ABOUT THE CASE: If the Attorney General of Canada, David Lametti and his team of 10 government Lawyers are successful in convincing a Federal Court Judge that ours, and THE 3 other cases are moot based on the vaccine travel ban and mandates being 'temporarily suspended', all four cases currently before the court will be dismissed and will NEVER be heard by a Judge. Meaning that 10 months of insanely intensive and all consuming hard work by our incredibly talented Lawyer and ourselves, along with close to $400K in legal fees (For our case alone) will be essentially flushed down the drain.

IMPORTANT - MOOTNESS HEARING UPDATE - PLEASE SHARE ON ALL OF YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS AND GROUPS

September 15th, 2022

IMPORTANT UPDATE - VACCINE TRAVEL MADATES LAWSUIT - MOOTNESS HEARING.
Date: September 21st 2022
Time: 9.30am (One day hearing)
Location: Ottawa Federal Court, 90 Spark Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0H9
More details here: https://www.fct-cf.gc.ca/en/court-files-and-decisions/hearing-lists

To everyone who attends, PLEASE keep things civil, peaceful and respectful.

WE REALLY NEED BOOTS ON THE GROUND - To show the media, the court and the government that we mean business, and that these four cases are far from moot - If you are able, PLEASE attend this hearing in person, either inside the courthouse or outside on the street, we need thousands of supporters to show up! If you are unable to make it to Ottawa and would like to attend the hearing virtually, please follow the link below to register to attend via Zoom: https://www.fct-cf.gc.ca/en/court-files-and-decisions/hearing-lists

SUMMARY: If the Attorney General of Canada, David Lametti and his team of 10 government Lawyers are successful in convincing a Federal Court Judge that ours, and THE 3 other cases are moot based on the vaccine travel ban and mandates being 'temporarily suspended', all four cases currently before the court will be dismissed and will NEVER be heard by a Judge. Meaning that 10 months of insanely intensive and all consuming hard work by our incredibly talented Lawyer and ourselves, along with close to $400K in legal fees (For our case alone) will be essentially flushed down the drain. This will also give free reign to the Trudeau government to reinstate these tyrannical mandates whenever they so choose... AND WE SIMPLY CANNOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN.

In the event that we do lose our fight against this motion, rest assured WE WILL APPEAL THE DECISION to the highest court in the land. But in order to do so and to continue this fight to the end we will need your help.

TRAVEL BAN LAWSUIT - MOOTNESS HEARING UPDATE FOR THOSE WHO WILL BE ATTENDING IN-PERSON OR VIRTUALLY VIA ZOOM.
Date: September 21ST 2022
Location: Ottawa Federal Court, 90 Spark Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0H9

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST CANADA WIDE - We need as many Canadians as possible show up inside and outside of the court... or virtually via Zoom. We ask that everyone who attends, PLEASE keep things civil, peaceful and respectful - Thank you.

As I had hoped when I made my earlier posts URGING Canadians to e-mail the Federal Court requesting information as to how they may attend this landmark and critical hearing, it would seem that due to an overwhelming number of requests received that the Federal Court has publicly posted this information to their website. Much like they did when thousands of Canadians requested access to the transcripts from our cross examinations of the government's witnesses a few weeks ago.

TRAVEL BAN LAWSUIT - CALL TO ACTION - PLEASE HELP & SHARE If on the 21st of this month the Attorney General of Canada, David Lametti and his team of 10 government Lawyers are successful in convincing a Federal Court Judge that ours, and 3 other cases are moot based on the vaccine travel ban and mandates being 'temporarily suspended', all four cases currently before the court will be dismissed and will NEVER be heard by a Judge. Meaning that 10 months of insanely intensive and all consuming hard work by our incredibly talented Lawyer and ourselves, along with close to $400K in legal fees (For our case alone) will be essentially flushed down the drain. In laymen's terms, if Lametti is successful, it would equate to an abusive spouse who relentlessly abused and beat their wife or husband for months... or even years on end. But when legally charged by their victim and challenged in court, a Judge decides that the abuser's charges should be dismissed by the court because they promised, for now, not to do it again. In the event that we lose our fight against this motion, rest assured WE WILL APPEAL THE DECISION to the highest court in the land.

IMPORTANT TRAVEL BAN LAWSUIT UPDATE

September 4th, 2022

As you may recall, as soon as the vaccine requirement was suspended in June 2022, the Attorney General filed a 'Mootness Motion'. If this motion is granted, our case will die without a decision being made by the Federal Court. This means the vaccine travel mandate can be brought back at any time. This one-day hearing is scheduled for September 21/22 at the Federal Court in Ottawa starting at 9:30 a.m. This in-person proceeding is open to the public and we encourage you to attend, if you are able.. We already know that the vaccine requirement for travel was not based on science, nor was it done to ensure the safety of travellers so the outcome of this motion will play heavily into the government's decision (ability) to bring back in the (updated) vaccine mandate at any point that they choose.. We need to ensure that the Federal Court hears that there are many Canadians who believe that this issue is far from moot! If the motion is defeated, our case can proceed and, our Judicial Review has been scheduled to be heard over a 5 day period starting on October 31/22. The Federal Court for both proceedings is located at:

90 Sparks St.
Ottawa
ON
K1A 0H9

Hope to see many of you there!

Target reached to initiate and file an injunction

July 20th, 2022

My fundraising target of $30K to initiate proceedings and get the ball rolling on filing an application and injunction to cease the government's draconian ArriveCan app & 14-day quarantine for unvaxxed Canadian travelers has been reached. A huge shout out to all of you who stepped up and donated. You will find direct links to some of The Epoch Times tweets and news reports on my GETTR: @ShaunRickard - Facebook page: Shaun Rickard - Instagram: @TheRealShaunRickard
We still have a long way to go with the fundraising for this, our next landmark case, but as of right now we have the funding to cover our legal costs to file the initial application and injunction... thank you all!
UPDATE - Filing of a Federal Court application and injunction to cease the 14-day quarantine requirement for unvaxxed Canadians and the Arrive Can app.

July 17th, 2022

Sadly our fundraising efforts to file an application and emergency injunction to end the above tyrannical mandates have virtually come to a standstill over the past week. Until we reach the required target of $30K to get the ball rolling in the courts with the injunction, we will be unable to proceed. We are currently sitting at approximately $21K raised, about $9K short of our target. If you are able to donate to help cover our legal costs for this critical legal challenge, please do so today so that we can get this in front of a Judge ASAP.

To clarify - This is a separate legal challenge to our Travel Ban case which is still very much underway in the Federal Court. This is our general fundraiser page where we raise funds for all of our legal challenges. To date we have spent $240k on our travel ban case alone, which was raised here on GSG and via e-transfers and regular mail... so I want to be clear that this is a new/standalone legal challenge that we felt we had to move forward with ASAP.
You can see updates for our main Travel Ban case in the Updates section below.
FEDERAL VACCINE TRAVEL MANDATES LAWSUIT – JUNE 30 2022 UPDATE - PLEASE SHARE

June 30th, 2022

Today, June 30th, 2022 we conclude our final cross examinations of the government's 16 expert and lay witnesses. As I'm sure some of you who are familiar with this process can appreciate, it has been an absolutely grueling and mammoth undertaking for our lead counsel, Sam Presvelos over the past month. Being the primary case out of the 4 lawsuits currently being heard, the responsibility lies with us to ensure that these witnesses were cross examined in a methodical, concise and extremely detailed manner. And boy did Sam ever succeed in his mission, the information, admissions, data, science (or often a lack there of) and policy flaws he has been able to reveal and expose are mind boggling and staggering. In my opinion, when these transcripts are made public, Canadians are going to be both gob smacked and outraged. It is my belief that the ‘temporary suspension’ of the vaccine travel ban and other mandates was a direct result of the progress we have made in this case during the cross examination process, and that it was far from a coincidence that literally the day following the suspension of the mandates, the Attorney General of Canada filed a motion to have all 4 cases dismissed on the basis that they are now ‘moot’, in an attempt to make these lawsuits ‘go away’, they simply cannot permit what we have revealed to be exposed in a public hearing. We plan to fight this motion however, as we have all other motions the AGC has thrown at us to slow down or thwart our efforts thus far. These cases MUST be heard, whatever the cost, if they are not and a precedent is not set, the government will be free to implement these tyrannical mandates whenever they so choose.

REVISED HEARING DATES: The mootness motion hearing date is September 19th 2022… and as a result our final hearing date has now been moved to late October.

UPDATE - April 26th, 2022

April 26th, 2022

Good morning everyone,

Thus far $25k has been raised via the GiveSendGo fundraiser page and e-transfers. Thank you all for your generous donations, support and help getting the word out about this landmark case.

However, we still have a LONG way to go yet with our fundraising efforts to stay ahead of this mammoth legal battle, and all that the Attorney General of Canada and their army of a legal team continue to throw at us to push up our costs. Our legal costs to date have already exceeded well over $100,000.00, and we have not yet physically stepped into a courtroom.

So please, if you are able, continue to donate what you can if and when you can and keep sharing this page and our posts across yours all other social media platforms. We really need to get the word out to anyone who may not be aware that this legal challenge is well underway in the federal courts.

Together we CAN overturn Justin Trudeau's tyrannical and totalitarian travel ban.

UPDATE - April 26th, 2022

April 26th, 2022

Good morning everyone,

Thus far $25k has been raised via the GiveSendGo fundraiser page and e-transfers. Thank you all for your generous donations, support and help getting the word out about this landmark case.

However, we still have a LONG way to go yet with our fundraising efforts to stay ahead of this mammoth legal battle, and all that the Attorney General of Canada and their army of a legal team continue to throw at us to push up our costs. Our legal costs to date have already exceeded well over $100,000.00, and we have not yet physically stepped into a courtroom.

So please, if you are able, continue to donate what you can if and when you can and keep sharing this page and our posts across yours all other social media platforms.
