Ontario judge orders RCMP and TD Bank to release records tied to freezing Freedom Convoy protester Evan Blackman’s bank accounts.
Government’s use of the 2022 Emergencies Act faces scrutiny over civil liberties violations, including bank seizures and coerced tow truck conscription.
In 2023, Blackman was acquitted of mischief and obstruction charges, but Ottawa appealed, leading to an upcoming retrial in August 2025.
2024 court ruling found Trudeau’s invocation of the emergencies law “not justified,” highlighting overreach in targeting peaceful protesters.
Legal backers seek to link bank seizures to constitutional violations, framing the case as a landmark challenge to state powers.
Evan Blackman, one of hundreds whose accounts were frozen under the law, faces a retrial in August 2025 after being acquitted in 2023 of charges related to the Ottawa demonstrations. His lawyers argue that the seizure of his funds — a decision first reviewed as lawful but later condemned by federal judges — violates Charter rights to privacy and freedom of expression. The court’s demand for transparency could unravel the government’s case while exposing systemic flaws in its pandemic-era policies.
The legal fight over “extreme overreach”
The ruling demands disclosure of documents detailing how and why Blackman’s accounts were frozen under Section 53 of the Emergencies Act, which Trudeau invoked on February 14, 2022. The law, originally designed for responses to disasters like floods or terrorist threats, granted unprecedented power to block financial transactions, seize property and militarize law enforcement.
Constitutional lawyer Chris Fleury, representing Blackman’s Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), called the seizure “an extreme overreach,” stressing that the records could prove the government “illegally punished peaceful dissent.” Blackman, an Ottawa-area protester detained after participating in nonviolent rallies, saw his three accounts frozen for over a week, potentially stifling his ability to prepare a defense during the original charges.
The JCCF emphasizes that this is the first criminal case in Canada attempting to halt proceedings under Section 8 of the Charter, which bars unreasonable searches or seizures, and Section 2(b), protecting free expression. Their stance draws strength from a 2024 Federal Court ruling by Justice Richard Mosley, who declared Trudeau’s emergency declaration “not justified,” arguing it failed to balance public interest with human rights.
The 2022 protests and their aftermath
The Freedom Convoy began on January 15, 2022, as a movement protesting vaccine mandates and pandemic restrictions. By early February, it swelled into hundreds of tractor-trailers blocking Ottawa’s streets, leading Trudeau to invoke the Emergencies Act—a move nearly all provinces condemned.
Documents now sought by the JCCF could clarify how authorities targeted nonviolent advocates. While the government framed protests as violent, much of the event unfolded as group camping, community meals and music, according to RCMP logs obtained by the National Post. Instead, most documented violence stemmed from state actions: videos showed mounted police trampling an elderly woman and attacking journalists.
Critics argue the law’s use set a dangerous precedent. Despite a special commission later endorsing Trudeau’s emergency declaration, federal courts — including Mosley’s decision — have since eroded its legitimacy.
What lies ahead: A trial with national implications?
Blackman’s retrial in August could become a landmark test of Canada’s emergency laws. His legal team plans to argue that the federal government’s seizure of funds was retaliation for political speech, violating the Charter. If successful, similar cases by over 100 protest-era plaintiffs might proceed, reshaping how authorities handle dissent.
Meanwhile, the RCMP and TD Bank have yet to publicly comment, though the ruling binds them to comply. The outcome may also influence current debates over pandemic-era policies, as critics question the viability of invoking “extreme measures” for non-violent public assemblies.
As Fleury noted, the case “exposes a dangerous precedent where the state weaponizes financial control to silence dissidents.” For civil liberties advocates, the ruling offers a rare chance to challenge a legacy of distrust in Trudeau’s leadership — and redefine the limits of crises authority.
A new day for accountability, or an open door for state power?
The Ontario court’s demand for transparency in Blackman’s case underscores a growing reckoning with the 2022 pandemic policies. While the protests seemed forgotten to some, the legal fallout continues to reveal a government unprepared to balance safety with constitutionality — and a judiciary increasingly willing to hold it to account.
As the Aug. 14 retrial nears, Canadians wait to learn more than Blackman’s fate: whether their next crisis will be met with calm stewardship… or another round of rushed, rights-eroding reforms.
Australia cancels rapper Ye’s visa over ‘Heil Hitler’ release

[World War II has been over for 80 years but politically correct Australia has cancelled the visa of musician and Trump supporter Kanye West, now known as Ye. His prsent wife come from Australia. Some 30 years ago, Australia cancelled the visa of lecturer, historian and World War II revisionist David Irving, whose daughter had lived there for many years. Amusingly, according to the National Post (July 3, 2025), Australian Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, insisted “Australian citizens have freedom of speech.” Tell that to political prisoners and jailed thought criminals like the late Dr. Fredrik Toben! Sure, Mr. Burke and kangaroos are fish.]
By Rod Mcguirk, The Associated Press
Posted July 2, 2025 3:52 am.
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Ye, the U.S. rapper formerly known as Kanye West, was recently stripped of an Australian visa after he released his single “Heil Hitler,” a government minister said on Wednesday.
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke revealed Ye has been traveling for years to Australia, where his wife of three years, Bianca Censori, was born. Her family live in Melbourne.
Burke said “Heil Hitler,” released in May, promoted Nazism. The song has been criticized as an antisemitic tribute to German dictator Adolf Hitler.
“He’s been coming to Australia for a long time. He’s got family here. And he’s made a lot of offensive comments that my officials looked at again once he released the ’Heil Hitler’ song and he no longer has a valid visa in Australia,” Burke told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
“We have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry,” Burke added.
Ye’s representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
Australia’s Migration Act sets security and character requirements for non-citizens to enter the country.
Australia’s largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, have seen a spate of antisemitic attacks since the war between Israel and Hamas began on Oct. 7, 2023.
For reasons known only to themselves, the National Post gives one Avi Abraham Benlolo a large weekly column. For years, he headed the Canadian Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre. Several years ago, he parted ways with the Wiesenthalers and started is own Abraham Global Peace Initiative. Hard to know about global peace, but he constantly calls for more repression here in Canada to silence critics of Israel. He columns have to topics: anti-semitism is getting worse by the minute and we need more repression here in Canada.
Ironically, on July 4, freedom day in the U.S.A., Benlolo, a shrill bore, said he’s been working on a “white paper” and outlined the restrictions he’d longs to place on Canadians.
“One of the greatest concerns is deterrence. Hate groups and extremists feel emboldened, often because they believe they can act with impunity. This must change. Deterrence theory offers a clear path forward: offenders must know they will be caught swiftly. In other words, the response must be immediate and the severity must be strong and unambiguous, with meaningful penalties that reflect the seriousness of these crimes.
In order for this to succeed, first, we must reform how hate crimes are prosecuted. In Canada, charges require the consent of the Attorney General — a political hurdle that delays justice. That requirement should be removed, allowing police to lay charges based on evidence and the courts to determine outcomes.
Second, existing hate crime laws must be applied consistently as the law of the land. Canada already prohibits hate speech, incitement to genocide, and the promotion of violence, but enforcement appears to be timid and selective. These laws must be used fully and without hesitation.
Canada has long had units to combat organized crime — this is no less urgent. Hate groups are becoming more coordinated and violent against Jewish citizens.[[What about the anti-White hatred and contempt for our traditions preached by the federal government and many education outlets?] Law enforcement must be equally coordinated in its response.
Fourth, I’m proposing a new national security strategy — S.N.A.P.: Share, Notify, Act, Protect. It calls for improved intelligence sharing across agencies, real-time alerts for Jewish communities, swift legal action, and visible protection of high-risk institutions. This model moves us from a reactive stance to a proactive one.
Fifth, we must modernize protest laws. Inspired by recent U.K. reforms, Canada should adopt clear rules: require and enforce advance notice of protest marches; place limits on time, location, and methods; prevent seriously disruptive protests; and restrict demonstrations near Jewish events.[Once again, we see his ethnic narcisism: It’s all about US
!] Issue immediate and heavy fines. These measures preserve freedom of expression while safeguarding public order and safety.
Sixth, legal definitions must be updated to reflect modern threats. Online radicalization, glorification of terror, and hate propaganda must be addressed with new legislation, including reinstating Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act curtailing hate online and digitally.
Canada also rightly recognizes that free speech has limits — especially when it infringes on the safety and rights of others. Pro-Hamas groups may have the right to protest peacefully, but they are not free to block Jewish Canadians from attending events or entering synagogues. They are not free to harass, intimidate, or chant genocidal slogans. This is not free speech — it is hate speech. And under Canadian law, it is not protected.
Ontario teachers fired for honouring their conscience; Justice Centre provides lawyers to take action Dear friend of freedom,Teachers are among the most trusted figures in our society. Parents rely on teachers to model professionalism, fairness, and compassion. Educators, in turn, deserve a teaching environment that respects their fundamental rights and freedoms. That’s why the story of Matt and Nicole Alexander from Cobden, Ontario, is so important. Matt and Nicole Alexander (Photo courtesy of the Alexander family)Fired for exercising their Charter-protected freedoms, then abandoned by their union Matt and Nicole Alexander were long-serving, dedicated schoolteachers employed by the Renfrew County District School Board in Ontario. In 2023, both teachers were abruptly suspended and later terminated under very troubling circumstances, simply for following their conscience. “It’s hard to describe the magnitude of what’s happened in our family,” said Matt Alexander. “After dedicating more than two decades to my students and school, it seems to me, there is no room for Christians to be Christian in the education system.”The Alexanders’ ordeal began in late 2022 when their teenage son, Josh Alexander—a student at an entirely different school board, began to challenge publicly his school’s policy of allowing biological males who identify as female to use girls’ washrooms.
Josh Alexander (Photo courtesy of the Alexander family)Josh began attending and also organizing peaceful demonstrations in the wider community, and heading a group called Save Canada, which opposes gender ideology in schools and drag queen story hours for children. On April 17, 2023, the school suspended Matt Alexander from his grades seven and eight teaching position in relation to social media posts that were made about him. Matt did not even have any public social media accounts at the time.On May 5, 2023, Nicole Alexander discovered a pride poster taped to the front door of her kindergarten classroom, without her consent. Before class, she moved the poster into a classroom cabinet. Later that morning, her principal summoned her to a meeting where she was abruptly suspended pending an investigation – an investigation that dragged on for six months. Matt and Nicole Alexander (Photo courtesy of the Alexander family)On October 26, 2023, the Renfrew County District School Board terminated both Nicole and Matt Alexander for not celebrating and affirming LGBTQ issues. As teachers, the Alexanders had always created a welcoming environment for all students. Matt and Nicole went on to file a grievance under their collective agreement, but their union refused to argue that the Alexanders’ freedom of conscience and religion – protected by section 2(a) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms – had been violated. The Alexanders’ experience is a chilling reminder that Canadians who express their honest opinions in public spaces often face severe consequences. These courageous Canadians are frequently abandoned by the unions that are supposed to protect them. “What we’re seeing is a culture where if you don’t actively affirm certain views, you’re at risk,” Matt Alexander explained.“We’ve been financially devastated, but we won’t back down,” Matt said. “We sold our family home rather than lose it, and the pension we paid into for over 20 years has been decimated. It put a black mark on us, effectively ending our careers in public education. Retraining for new careers has been necessary,” Nicole explained.In short, the Alexanders needed a champion. The Alexander family has found hope and a voice Constitutional lawyer Darren Leung is one of several lawyers representing the Alexanders. He is taking several steps to defend the family. “There are currently two legal actions underway. The first is a human rights complaint against the Renfrew County District School Board, alleging that the board discriminated against the Alexander family because of their religious beliefs,” explained Mr. Leung.“The second is a complaint filed with the Labour Relations Board against the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario for failing to support the Alexanders properly.”
Constitutional lawyer Darren Leung (Photo courtesy of Darren Leung)Mr. Leung points out that both teachers have an “unblemished disciplinary record throughout their employment.” A free society depends on a culture in which diverse views are expressed and debated. As Mr. Leung explains, “Our constitutional democracy is built on a culture of tolerance and mutual respect of diverse ideas, beliefs and points of view. The law should strive to accommodate as many viewpoints as possible.”“What is happening here is the use of government power to enforce only one viewpoint and punishing those who diverge from total acceptance of this viewpoint, especially when there is no evidence of any harm,” he remarked.Mr. Leung explained that more information will be revealed as the complaint works its way through the system. This matter will take time, but these teachers deserve the support of all Canadians who value the freedom of conscience and religion.
Today, July 7th, 2025, the police went to my brother’s home in Tutzing Germany and took him away in handcuffs. He is in a police cell tonight at Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany, the same place I spent my first night after being arrested in 2018. Tomorrow he will be brought to jail, not sure yet which one, possibly Stadelheim in Munich, the same one where he was first imprisoned in 2018, while I was in the women’s prison next door.
What brought this on? A brief synopsis:
There was a “friends of Alfred Schaefer” gathering on 2024 April 27 in Augsburg, where Alfred was going to speak, Sylvia Stolz was also there to speak, and quite a few attendees were gathered. Just when they were about to begin, a large number of police vehicles appeared, and out poured about 100 officers, to storm the peaceful gathering. The police pulled each and every individual out from the group, interrogating, searching, etc. This went on for hours. At the end of the day, everyone went home, bodies and possessions intact. Nobody was arrested and no items were stolen / seized / confiscated.
Nearly a year later, Alfred received one of those yellow envelopes in the mail, which he recognized even before opening as coming from the state prosecutor. He had received quite a few of those yellow envelopes by then. This one was a court summons to answer to the charges being laid in relation to the aforementioned event. Court was to happen on 2025 April 25. Along with this invitation (in Germany, these court summons are literally in the form of “invitation”), there was a warning that if he did not show up, then they would be obliged to issue an arrest warrant. Lovely invitation, yes?
Charges were relating to things that Alfred said while the police were doing their raid in Augsburg the year before. Alfred is in the habit of educating the police officers while being engaged by them. He was charged for saying, “At least I am not as dangerous as the negroes who are raping our women” [just noticing patterns?] and another charge for saying “…the Jews raping 3-year old girls…” [as permitted by their holy book, the Talmud]. The document goes on to say that both those statements could be heard by all in the room, and that in making these statements Alfred was inciting rejection and hatred of Jews and “dunkelhäutige Personen” translates to “dark-skinned persons”. Furthermore their document said that the statements of the accused serve to incite the political climate among the population, and jeopardize general confidence in legal security as well as jeopardizing peaceful co-existence. [Does the raid on a peaceful gathering by 100 police officers inspire confidence in the legal security of the people? Just wondering.. ~MS]
The third charge related to an item in Alfred’s “Visitenkarte”, the equivalent of a business card, but in Alfred’s case it consists of an envelope containing various materials, including 9/11 truth info, plus some pertinent memes and articles. The charge was for what was pictured in an article in The Fitzhugh weekly newspaper in Jasper Alberta on November 1st 2018, just on time for my return to my home town after being released from prison. To give me a warm welcome back home the article was entitled: “RACIST FILTH: Schaefers sentenced in Germany“. That prominent article contained a photo of Alfred doing the straight arm Roman salute. The caption under the photo was, “Alfred Schaefer gives the Nazi salute in court in Germany as Jasper resident Monika Schaefer looks on. Both were convicted of incitement to hatred in October.” That third charge was for having and distributing the article with the image of himself doing that salute.
After receiving the yellow envelope with the charges and court summons, Alfred did what he had been doing during the last year and a half ever since coming out of jail the second time, he wrote them a polite letter, explaining exactly and in great detail and perfect German, why he would decline their invitation. He had help with these letters from an extremely well-versed and intelligent friend and supporter. I cannot spell it all out here and now, but suffice it to say that Alfred explained the utter illegitimacy of not only the documents they sent, the charges and such, but also the illegitimacy of the entire state. Not to mention, these summons they sent were NEVER signed. Who, exactly, was taking responsibility?
Well, the court date came and went, and Alfred went on quite merrily with his life, continuing his educational endeavours, both on-line and in person with anyone and everyone he met, whether on the train or out-and-about or in gatherings. He also enjoyed the home activities such as yard-work and cutting firewood and fixing things – he has always been quite the handyman. Today, July 7th, 2025, third time a prisoner of war.
I will post his mailing address as soon as I know where he will be, on the “political prisoners” page on truthandjusticeforgermans.com and freespeechmonika.com websites. In the meantime, PLEASE DO NOT email Alfred, or try any on-line correspondence with him, as I know with 100% certainty that while in jail, he has ZERO access to computers, internet, email, social media, etc. It will only clog everything up for when he comes back out again, making it very difficult to even access his accounts then. Believe me, we both have experience with that.
Alfred will be making the best of his time — of that I am certain. We are in a war, and he will not be sitting idle on the sidelines. I cannot help but think of his space-capsule analogy from last time. He said he felt like he left earth for a while in a tiny space capsule, and came back a few years later to a changed landscape. And while he was there, he received (I believe it was) 13 lottery wins. What were these lottery wins you ask? Experiences that he had in prison that he could ONLY have had there, each of which gave him enormous gifts of teachings, deep insights, strength, or indescribable euphoria. That does not mean it was fun and games. No. For example, the deepest insights came at the darkest of times for him. His optimism and his spirit is infectious. Ultimately, we will win this war, and Alfred knows it.
I am sending this out to quite a few people and decided to put all recipients on bcc (blind copy), as I don’t want to have to decide whose address is okay to show and whose is not. I apologize if some of you receive it twice or more, if you happen to be on another’s mailing list. I will inevitably miss some folks on this mail-out, but I am confident this message will make the rounds.
The horribly woke, dreadfully led Canadian Armed Forces is at it again.A CBC News (March 7, 2024) highlighted the deplorable state of Canada’s Armed Forces. ” Only 58 per cent of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) would be able to respond if called upon in a crisis by NATO allies right now — and almost half of the military’s equipment is considered “unavailable and unserviceable” — says a recent internal Department of National Defence (DND) presentation obtained by CBC News.….The presentation says the air force is currently in the worst shape of all the CAF forces, with 55 per cent of “fighters, maritime aviation, search and rescue, tactical aviation, trainers and transport” considered “unserviceable.” The navy is not too far behind, with 54 per cent of its “frigates, submarines, Arctic Offshore Patrol Ships and defence vessels” in no state to deploy, the presentation warns.” So, who allowed so much equipment to rust or deteriorate? Shouldn’t there be a major investigation of this neglect and scandal. Shouldn’t careers be on the line?
But, no, there’s a witch hunt for members of the Canadian armed forces who are part of a chat group featuring politically incorrect ideas: The Canadian Press (July 4, 2025) reports: “Military police have reopened an investigation into a Facebook group the Canadian Army’s commanding officer describes as “abhorrent.” Lt.-Gen. Michael Wright said in a media statement Friday that he was made aware of allegations about a Facebook group called the “Blue Hackle Mafia” on June 25 and that they involved “members of the Canadian Army. Wright said the group’s posts featured “racist, misogynistic, homophobic and antisemitic comments and images.”
…I am disgusted by the content of some of the posts published on this group. Posting such content runs counter to our values and ethics. I have reinforced with the chain of command the importance of our military disciplinary and administrative processes in addressing reported misconducts.” Let’s wrap our heads around this: Freedom of expression on one’s own time in a private Facebook group runs counter to Lt.-Gen. Wright’s “values and ethics” but letting the equipment in Canada’s military rust into uselessness doesn’t? Who’d want to serve in a woke military that treats its soldiers so poorly?
Army members’ Facebook group under investigation for ‘abhorrent’ content
B.C. Public Safety Minister and Solicitor General Garry Begg announced on Friday (July 4) that the province is putting up $734,000 for five more RCMP officers and an intelligence analyst to be added to the hate crime unit.
“Funding will also strengthen efforts to address hate-motivated crimes throughout our criminal justice process by ensuring that prosecutors have the necessary evidence for charge approvals,” said Begg, a former RCMP officer.
The hate crime unit will now consist of seven officers.
Statistics presented by the B.C. government show that police-reported hate crimes rose 23 per cent from 2022 to 2023. Of these, hate crimes related to religion rose 50 per cent, and hate crimes linked to sexual orientation rose 43 per cent.
This funding is part of a $230 million provincial investment in the RCMP.
B.C. is the only province with a dedicated hate-crime unit.
I’m a paramedic. I’ve spent my life running into chaos, patching up the broken, and fighting to keep people alive. I’ve been in TWO branches of our military But nothing in my career prepared me for the carnage I’ve witnessed since the world decided to kneel at the altar of “safe and effective”.
Let’s not sugarcoat it, I have watched genocide unfold in real time. I have watched the Covid vaccines kill people, healthy people, right in front of me. I have watched the system bury or burn the bodies, falsify the records, and gaslight the families. So much gas lighting that people have now have committed suicide! I have watched doctors, nurses, and bureaucrats sell their souls for a paycheck and a pat on the head from corporate cocksuckers.
I know now, with a certainty that makes me sick, that vaccines gave my own son brain damage. They did this to him. Sadly my ignorant trust in the system was repaid with brain damage and a lifetime of struggle for my own son. And I am supposed to just accept this? To stay quiet? To not want to fucking fight?
The head of the HHS IS LITERALLY TELLING US THIS IS A FACT NOW! Vaccines cause autism!!!!!!!! But what, we sit down, shut up, and just look past the fact that we have mumbling children that’ll never have a real normal life? We just “trust the science” while the bodies pile up and the guilty get rich?
And then I see headlines like this, some pop singer bragging that she’s had so many abortions she can’t even remember. This is what we celebrate in these times? Dear Lord! This is the culture we’re supposed to defend? A society that treats life as disposable, that worships death, that mocks anyone who dares to care?
I am beyond disgusted, obviously. I am enraged. I am sickened by the doctors who look the other way, the politicians who cash their pharma checks, the media who run cover for mass murder, and every coward who keeps their head down and their mouth shut while children are sacrificed for profit.
This is not medicine. This is not progress. This is organized, industrialized slaughter, genocide, plain and simple. And every single one of you who complies, who stays silent, who makes excuses, you are fucking cowardly complicit. You are not innocent. You are not victims. You are collaborators.
I wrote a book about it: “Safe and Effective… For Profit: A Paramedic’s Story Exposing American Genocide.” But, hey, you don’t need to read my book to see what’s happening. You just need a spine and a conscience.
I will not be silent. I will not forgive this. I know God says I’m supposed to forgive, but I can’t forgive someone that isn’t asking for forgiveness. And I will never stop calling this what it is… a crime against humanity, carried out in broad daylight, with the full approval of a society that has lost its soul.
If you’re disgusted, do something. If you’re not, you’re part of the machine.
