The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms’ lawsuit against public health orders issued by Dr. Bonnie Henry will be heard before BC Chief Justice Hinkson on March 1–3, 2021 at the Supreme Court in Vancouver.
This is good news.
The JCCF filed their legal challenge against restrictions on public protest and public worship services on January 7, 2021. (Download PDF of JCCF’s Petition for Judicial Review)
JCCF alleges that Provincial Health Orders violate the following sections of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms:
- Charter section 2(a) (freedom of conscience and religion);
- Charter section 2(b) (freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression);
- Charter section 2(c) (freedom of peaceful assembly);
- Charter section 2(d) (freedom of association);
- Charter section 7 (life, liberty and security of the person); and
- Charter section 15(1) (equality rights)
The JCCF also seeks to have 8 specific tickets dismissed and an injunction preventing any future tickets being issued relating to public worship and public protest.
Under “Ethical Principles and Values”, the BC government is committed to exercise its powers in accordance with:
- Respect: To whatever extent possible, individual autonomy, individual liberties, and cultural safety must be respected;
- Least Coercive and Restrictive Means: Any infringements on personal rights and freedoms must be carefully considered, and the least restrictive or coercive means must be sought;
- Proportionality: Measures implemented, especially restrictive ones, should be proportionate to and commensurate with the level of threat and risk;
- Decision makers should take into account all relevant views expressed;
- Take into account any disproportionate impact of the decision on particular groups of people; and
- Practical – have a reasonable chance of being feasible to implement and to achieve their stated goals.
Given the inconsistent nature with which the provincial government implemented these restrictions, I hope and pray that Christopher Hinkson, BC’s Chief Justice, agrees and grants the relief sought by the JCCF.
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms doesn’t cease to exist simply because Bonnie Henry says it does. Even in the most dire national emergency the Charter remains the highest law of the land. Our rights must be as minimally impaired as possible – a concept totally lost on Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC’s very own High Priestess of COVID.

The courts may be as insane as Bonnie Henry, Quaranteening the healthy is bat shit crazy. they tell you on the news, how many cases, how many deaths, how many hospitalized. The MOST important information, THE AGE GROUP OF THOSE DYING FROM COVID, is withheld. NOT COINCIDENCE. Flatlining the economy is the true objective.
BC CDC does produce age based reports … check out the weekly updates. The prove median age of death I’d 86 and older than typical life expectancy, very little risk of dying for all age groups … particularly under 70 …. majority of deaths (75%) in LTCH
Also never mention what the amplification of the virus is. The higher the amplification the more cases. Hmmm good way to increase numbers to keep people in fear
Phil, they are also using the PCR test at “40 Cycles” which according to the High Priest of Covid produces useless results. See Fauci at the 3 1/2 to 5 minute mark in this video..
July 16, 2020, podcast, “This Week in Virology” [1]: Dr Tony Fauci makes a
point of saying the PCR COVID test is useless and misleading when the test
is run at “35 cycles or higher.” A positive result, indicating infection,
cannot be accepted or believed.
Here, in techno-speak, is an excerpt from Fauci’s key quote (starting at
about the 4-minute mark [1]): “…If you get [perform the test at] a cycle
threshold of 35 or more…the chances of it being replication-competent [aka
accurate] are minuscule…you almost never can culture virus [detect a true
positive result] from a 37 threshold cycle…even 36…”
Too many cycles, and the test will turn up all sorts of irrelevant
material that will be wrongly interpreted as relevant.
Yet the FDA advises it be run at 40 cycles. So are most of the tests false either way?

So … what happened with this court case?
The judge sided with the High Priestess of COVID. I’ll publish my commentary on the decision later today.
