In this high-stakes episode of The Lavigne Show, we welcome John Carpay, President of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF). Fresh off the release of his new book, Corrupted by Fear: How the Charter was betrayed, and what Canadians can do about it, John is also leading a legal challenge against the federal government’s controversial prorogation of Parliament—arguing that it serves party interests over public accountability.
What to Expect
Inside the Legal Battle
Discover why Carpay and the JCCF assert that prorogation undermines Canada’s democratic framework, referencing a notable U.K. Supreme Court ruling against Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s own attempt at shutting down Parliament.

We'll see you tomorrow.
Hi all,
Paula and I are taking a mid-week day off.
See you tomorrow with Frances Widdowson.
Stay warm, God bless.
Paula & Jay on the @TheLavigneShow are two of my favorite people. I am a supporter because I believe in their honesty, integrity & most of all their dedication to truth & the Alberta Independence Movement. I wrote a song about our quest for freedom, it is called My Alberta Home. You can find a demo of the song on my X page Michael Kosterman @MichaelKosterm2
We are headed into the studio later this spring to record a Radio Version of this song. Thank you Paula & Jay for all that you do. I will be coming to see you soon at one of your events! All my best & God Save Alberta!
