Call for Canada's Chief Justice to recuse himself from Emergencies Act appeal

Original: CARPAY: Chief Justice Wagner should recuse himself from the Emergencies Act appeal

Constitutional lawyer John Carpay argues that Chief Justice Richard Wagner should step aside from the appeal over the federal government's 2022 Emergencies Act invocation, which targeted the Freedom Convoy protests. The claim is that his past involvement gives rise to a conflict of interest. The article calls on Wagner to recuse himself as the case moves through the courts.

Why now: The Emergencies Act appeal is a politically charged case and any suggestion of bias by the country's top judge draws attention.
