TORONTO: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms will be in Toronto Federal Court on Wednesday, April 14, 2021, seeking an injunction to put an immediate stop to Trudeauâs quarantine hotels and facilities until a full hearing can be heard on the matter. The Justice Centre is urging the Federal Court to end the unconstitutional practice of forcing healthy air travellers who have already tested negative for Covid-19, to quarantine in federal facilities.
The Justice Centre originally filed legal action on February 17, 2021 against the Federal Government in response to Prime Minister Justin Trudeauâs Order-in-Council forcing Canadians returning via air travel to be confined in quarantine hotels at a cost of $2,000 per traveller, even with possession of a negative PCR test. Travellers who arrive in possession of a negative antigen test for Covid are also being forced into isolation facilities.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is condemning recent protests against public-health measures, dismissing the demonstrators as “unhinged” conspiracy theorists who crossed a line by threatening the province’s top medical official.
Mr. Kenney’s rebuke was prompted by weekend protests outside GraceLife Church, near Edmonton, which Alberta Health Services fenced off because it ignored orders limiting capacity for places of worship and requiring masks. Pastor James Coates, who has been charged with violating the province’s Public Health Act, was jailed for more than a month for refusing to abide by those public-health orde

Last June, GraceLife Church of Edmonton emerged from the first wave of COVID-19 like thousands of other Albertans: hopeful, a bit wary, ready to adapt to the new normal.
“Hello GraceLife family!” church elders wrote in a June 19, 2020, bulletin. Like countless faith groups, GraceLife had moved to online services at the pandemic’s outset.
