Revive the Travel Ban Case
Sign the Petition
Brian Peckford's case against the federal government for the violation of our right to freedom of movement during the Covid lockdowns was declared 'moot' by the presiding judge, under the argument that the bans were no longer in place. This is somewhat akin to declaring an assault case moot because the assault is no longer in progress.
A crime against the Canadian people has been committed, and our government must be held accountable. An appeal has been filed by Mr. Peckford's lawyers.
Please sign the petition to the Justice Minister to revive this case.
