This is good news for all who support the rule of law.
There are two problems here: the legal system, and the mainstream media.
The legal system was hijacked to create inflammatory headlines supporting the Trudeau government's "violent extremist" narrative of the Freedom Convoy, thereby justifying the Emergencies Act.
The media went right for it. The mainstream media shares the government's ideological hostility to the Freedom Convoy, seeing it as an illegitimate movement without justified grievances, unlike other protests that they treat with indulgence.
The dropping of charges after years of legal actions, and in Jeremy Mackenzie's case months in remand jail during which his life was threatened, demands explanation: it certainly looks like the process, including pre-trial remand, was used as the punishment.
The arrest of Mackenzie was itself highly irregular: an RCMP plane flying him from Nova Scotia to Saskatoon on a cross-Canada warrant for a minor charge cannot have happened without senior leadership input. And all just in time for his POEC Emergencies Act Inquiry testimony to occur from a jail cell. The timing stinks.
As with the Coutts Four, the government arrested people it didn't like, put them through a couple of years of dangerous and expensive hell, and then said, "bye, get gone". This is abusive, and a serious civil liberties issue.
Caryma's advice to, "pay attention to who reports on this, who doesn’t," is spot on. We need the real story, and it's unlikely we'll get it from the MSM, without whose tacit consent the government could not get away with its outrageous conduct.
Perhaps
