A group involved in the anti-government protest against COVID-19 measures in Ottawa is asking a court to put the brakes on federal use of the Emergencies Act to clamp down on demonstrators.

In submissions Friday to the Federal Court, Canadian Frontline Nurses and member Kristen Nagle seek an injunction staying the Liberal government's use of the emergencies law and associated measures while their full case plays out in court.

The applicants also seek all orders-in-council, minutes of meetings, cabinet submissions, memorandums, agreements and constituting documents relating to the public order emergency proclamation. The court filing came as police officers made dozens of arrests and towed many vehicles in downtown Ottawa in an effort to end what police call an illegal protest.

The law allows for temporary measures including regulation and prohibition of public assemblies, the designation of secure places, direction to banks to freeze assets and a ban on support for participants.

I think they should worry about the 300 million dollar law suit against the organizers of this terrorist act

Please don't refer to them as protesters this occupation is an unruly mob, accused criminals

Sounds about White

Wait so the people that defied laws, ignored police direction, and flouted injunctions… want the court of law to issue them an injunction for the police to follow and enforce. Wow, the hypocrisy of these people is stunning.

Nope. They asked you to leave and you didn't. All is fair in love and, well to use your words. 'War'.

It’s hilarious that protesters cry about being knocked down or hurt during an illegal occupation where they have been politely asked to leave for weeks & forewarned that they could be arrested if they refuse. Kind of like getting angry as a participant hurt in running of bulls.

The MAGA White Nationalist NAZIS were warned. Fuck Around Find Out.

See ya!

This poor elderly lady in a wheelchair was trampled by horses. She is in hospital in critical condition. This is how you treat peaceful protesters,shame on you Canadian Government 👏👏👏. Remember the world is watching.

Nope we needed to do this weeks ago

Declaring the Act has had the desired effect. It's just a bit early to call it off. Let the temperature cool a bit or we could face round 2.

So the hooligans who’ve been holding downtown hostage for 4 weeks don’t like the law that will get them moved. Awww Muffin.

Why don't you show this photo instead? Thousands of people have seen this dictator's actions, how can you hide the truth?

Sorry. They must learn lesson!

Why should they?

Hallelujah! These morons finally found out where the Court house is!!! Pro tip, while you’re there, tell the judge about all your complaints about your Charter rights. That way you don’t have to be street thugs! Yay! Democracy!

not unusual, non-participants criticizing police for arresting occupiers, who have been told repeatedly to leave. Whinny group using children to shield them from the police action

No.

they didn't use the act to remove you, that was basic police action. They're using the act to follow the money. This 'group' has as much a grasp of the law as all the other 'groups' torturing Ottawans... ie: none. QED.

Another loser who lost her job having a temper tantrum

Why? They don't want them to follow the money?

Tyranny shows its ugly head when your country has been hijacked from within. What the dictator is doing speaks droves for his love with Cuba and China's political systems. Is there more evidence that any moral citizen needs to know, wikipedia daddy Pierre's political history.

'Group involved in Ottawa protest asks court to unfreeze their bank accounts' - there fixed your headline for you.

Let's send in the tear gas.. it's time

These people have more nerve than my sciatica!

This is how democracy looks like in communist Canada.This lady was repeating we are peace and love.We are peaceful protest.2 minutes after she was smashed by police on horses.

Fringe groups are like barnacles that attach to a cause (e.g. the truckers) to attain notoriety in the mainstream, The truckers have been manipulated & used; but doesn’t justify toleration of this occupation. Luckily for these barnacles this isn’t 1855 (Louis Riel).

And I am going to ask the government to stop taxing Canadians hahaha Good luck with their request haha- losers 🤪

good luck! haha

Why aren’t you showing a picture of the now cleared streets in Ottawa!

Must be working…

Ironic that they don’t want to face the consequences of their bad decision-making skills.

hope they have to pay court costs

The world is watching, when you trample a Mohawk elder with a horse, and beat a veteran with the butstock of your gun, I was just doing my job or I was just following order. Will not hold up in court.

Why? Because they got kicked out? 😆🤣

Good luck with that.

I am disappointed but not surprised that CTV news mentions nothing about the citizen that was using a scooter for mobility that was knocked to ground and trampled I guess that would impact the federal media money that supports the outlet

No, GO HOME!

Shame on you 'media'
