The Rule of Law in Canada.

The Honourable Arif Virani

Canadian Minister of Justice, Attorney General for Canada, MP for Parkdale-Hyde Park

Sent by email 12 October 2023 to all Canadian MPs,

We have a Prime Minister who claims all around the world, much to the amusement of those to whom he is speaking, that Canada believes in “the rule of law“.  There is hardly a Canadian left who believes him, and I think it might be your job to change that and re-establish that “rule of law” not only in our political system but more importantly in our judicial system. Your predecessor had no interest in doing any of that as he simply stood by while the Emergencies Act was invoked without the necessity for such an action being present. Did anyone expect the commission to come up with any other decision than the one it arrived at?   It was so predictable.

Our courts are supposed to uphold the laws that our elected representatives have passed, often without the consent of the people of Canada, and not to put their own political interpretation on those laws, thus changing the way they are implemented.

As Attorney General it is your job to oversee the courts rather than bow to the demands of the PMO. It will probably get you fired as it did Jody Wilson-Raybold, but it will make history of the right kind, and most likely will get you re-elected. 

When Chief Justice Wagner of our Supreme Court decries what is known around the world as a peaceful protest this way:

In his interview with Le Devoir, Wagner characterized the protest on Wellington Street, where Parliament and the Supreme Court are located, as “the beginning of anarchy where some people have decided to take other citizens hostage.” The article reports Wagner as having declared that “forced blows against the state, justice and democratic institutions like the one delivered by protesters … should be denounced with force by all figures of power in the country.”

He is making the case for peaceful protestors to be dealt with by violence instead of discussion.  Of course, that violence for which he advocated is exactly what happened and the world watched and realized that Canada was now simply a  vassal state of the WEF or simply a wet blanket with no sovereignty.

We, as Canadians, have a supreme court that is no longer separate from the PMO or indeed even capable of judging the law as they are now a “semi-legal” arm of that PMO.  They refuse to hear cases on constitutional matters because it would appear they might have to rule against the PMO and so by refusing to hear such cases they avoid that situation.

This is your responsibility as AG. To ensure that the Laws of Canada are followed by ALL –   NO EXCEPTIONS.  If our constitution actually means anything under the law then it should be upheld. If it does not apply any more than it should be repealed. 

Are you willing to take that step, or will you insist that our law be followed by everyone – political, legal or citizen?

If you cannot then resign and let someone who will take it on take it on.

The Canadian people elected representatives to take actions on their behalf, not on behalf of the PMO and the WEF, and it is time you stepped up to the plate along with all your fellow MPs and allowed us to live in peace and maybe even a little love, instead of being trampled with fake nonsense, division and hate.
