    On appealing the travel vaccine mandate with Allison Pejovic | S01E27

    Lawyer Allison Pejovic joins producer Kevin Steel to discuss the past week's hearing in the challenge of the federal travel vaccine mandate on behalf of the Honourable Brian Peckford, the Honourable Maxime Bernier, and others.

However, the appellants believe that the public interest in the case far outweighs the concern and need for judicial economy.

    On challenging BC church gathering restrictions | S01E23

    There is "some evidence that the [Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry] preferred some faith groups over others", found a Judge in the Provincial Court of British Columbia. Lawyer Marty Moore joins the show to talk about the restrictions churches faced in BC during the pandemic, and how they were treated differently than other faith groups in the province. On September 12, 2023, the Justice Centre was pleased to share the Provincial Court of British Columbia decision that a BC pastor can proceed with an application to dismiss the prosecution against him for allegedly holding an in-person worship service during COVID-19 on the basis that the prosecution “risks undermining the integrity of the judicial process.” Read more at https://www.jccf.ca/british-columbia-public-health-officer-preferred-some-faith-groups-over-others/ Donate to the work of the Justice Centre to cover the legal costs for these brave Canadians at www.jccf.ca/donate
