Meghan Murphy speaks with lawyer James Manson about a legal challenge to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's proroguing of Parliament. Last week, Trudeau fooled the public into thinking he resigned—instead he gave himself unchecked power by suspending all Parliamentary business until March 24, 2025. Not everyone is taking this interruption of the democratic process sitting down—the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has provided lawyers to two Canadian citizens, David MacKinnon and Aris Lavranos, who are seeking a Federal Court declaration that Prime Minister Trudeau’s prorogation of Parliament is unreasonable and must be set aside.
