Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet have yet to make a final decision, but several sources confirmed ministers will soon consider ended the use of the unpopular ArriveCAN app.

This move follows after A constitutional freedoms group filed a lawsuit in the Federal Court of Canada against the mandatory use of the ArriveCAN app.

The legal challenge was launched by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) on behalf of 11 Canadians who were allegedly fined or ordered to quarantine for 14 days after returning to Canada.

“The applicants involved in this legal challenge have received fines of up to $8,500 each and been forced to disclose private medical information via ArriveCAN,” the group stated in a news release.

A report prepared for the Liberal Party of Canada in June of 2022 shows that the vaccines have little benefit for those under 60 further recommending that it is time to end travel mandates.

Report:
A Deeper Dive into the Publicly Available Ontario Data on COVID-19 Vaccination

“it is evident that the Ontario data presented in this report support that COVID-19 vaccines can benefit those 60 years and older and especially, those at least 70 years of age. However, it is not so clear that they benefit those under 60 years of age. Consequently, one must question mass vaccination programs, mandates, passports and travel bans for all age groups, given the adverse events and the unknown long-term effects of the vaccines.”

Court Documents Reveal Trudeau’s Travel Ban Had No Scientific Basis https://canadianriley.com/court-documents-reveal-trudeaus-travel-ban-had-no-scientific-basis/ https://canadianriley.com/court-documents-reveal-trudeaus-travel-ban-had-no-scientific-basis/?noamp=mobile#respond Tue, 02 Aug 2022 22:44:34 +0000 https://canadianriley.com/?p=1662 Four lawsuits are currently challenging the mandate in federal court and are being processed simultaneously. The government wants the court to declare the challenges moot because the Liberals suspended the travel mandate (barring international arrivals) on June 20, warning it could be brought back depending on circumstances, but applicants still want the case heard by a judge.

To defend the mandates the government presented 16 witnesses and experts in court case Karl Harrison et al. v Attorney General.

Jennifer Little, director general of the COVID Recovery Team at Transport Canada, wrote the travel mandate policy and testified on June 9 and 10 that neither PHAC nor its parent department Health Canada had made a recommendation for the mandate.

A Canadian government epidemiologist in charge of reviewing COVID-19 scientific literature testified in court that there is little information available on the impacts of vaccination on in-flight transmission of the virus.

Waddell testified as a government witness on May 31 in defense of the government’s vaccine mandate in travel. “There are not many studies that look at vaccination status, most of the research that’s been done occurred prior to widespread vaccination,” said Dr. Lisa Waddell of the Emerging Sciences Group at the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).

Waddell and her team were responsible for reviewing and assessing the evidence regarding in-flight transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. Waddell testified she considers that to be low risk.

Waddell also said that the PHAC brief did not recommend vaccination as a requirement to travel by air.
