At 126 pages long, Justice Richard Mosley’s recent ruling takes a while to read. Much of it’s good, some of it’s bad, and some of it’s rather ugly.

But here’s what’s most important. An eminent, highly experienced, sober-minded 74-year-old Federal Court judge has ruled that Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act unlawfully.

The trucker protest was not a national emergency.

After improperly invoking the Act, the government then violated privacy rights guaranteed by Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms when it seized protester bank accounts. (The Charter forms the first part of our Constitution.)

Unlawfully invoked.

Unconstitutional.

Those are the issues at the heart of Justice Mosley’s ruling.
