UPDATES - FEDERAL VACCINE TRAVEL MANDATES LAWSUIT - UNDERWAY AND PROCEEDING THROUGH THE FEDERAL COURT – STATUS: FEDERAL COURT OF APPEAL
This podcast/interview with Jordan Peterson provides a comprehensive legal breakdown of our case and what our Lawyer, Sam Presvelos uncovered during cross examinations of the governments very own sixteen expert witnesses, while under oath – Watch the full length podcast here: https://youtu.be/zQLMctYO36E
Rupa Subramanya initially broke the story about our case and all that was revealed during cross examinations on Barri Weiss’ substack, from there it went viral globally… except in Canada of course because the bias Trudeau funded legacy media chose to ignore, and even bury and hide this landmark lawsuit from the Canadian public – Read her breaking story here: https://www.commonsense.news/p/court-documents-reveal-canadas-travel
Here is a live interview we did on GB News, which came about as a result of the Daily Telegraph story: https://youtu.be/fsxQgUld9lA

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
UPDATES
We have officially filed our appeal with the Federal Court of Appeal challenging Justice Gagne’s mootness ruling.Update #52 November 20, 2022
We have officially filed our appeal with the Federal Court of Appeal (FCOA) challenging Assistant Chief Justice Gagne’s mootness ruling.
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/

URGENT UPDATE & NEWS RELEASE - Justice Gagne has made her ruling on the mootness motion. November 3, 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.

More details about the hearing here: https://www.fct-cf.gc.ca/en/court-files-and-decisions/hearing-listsSUMMARY & 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. 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.

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 4, 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!

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 17, 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.

FEDERAL VACCINE TRAVEL MANDATES LAWSUIT – JUNE 30 2022 UPDATE - PLEASE SHARE June 30, 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.

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.
