The Mosely Decision Appeal
Eddie Cornell, a plaintiff in the ongoing Mosely decision appeal, joins us to share insights from Day 1 of the hearing. At stake is the Canadian government’s justification for invoking emergency powers—particularly whether it was warranted to freeze bank accounts and label peaceful citizens as potential threats. Eddie recounts key exchanges in court, including:
Crown Arguments
How government lawyers defended using emergency powers by citing unreasonable paranoia and ignoring contrary evidence from CSIS, RCMP, and local police.
Judicial Scrutiny
Judges questioned why the government continued enforcing the Emergencies Act even after blockades were cleared and whether freezing bank accounts constituted an unlawful seizure.
Charter & Accountability
The government acknowledges it breached Canadians’ Charter rights yet insists these measures were “demonstrably justified.”
Panama’s New Direction
Michael Yon returns from Panama with major updates following Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s high-profile visit as the Panamanian government commits to free passage for U.S. warships and pledges to leave China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
Canal Control & Free Passage
Panama’s promise to accommodate U.S. naval movements raises questions about sovereignty and the canal’s global strategic importance.
Exit from Chinese Influence
President Mulino’s vow to withdraw from China’s signature lending program and how this could reshape regional alliances.
U.S. Leverage
Echoing President Trump’s stance, Rubio warns that further action may be taken unless Panama aligns with American interests.

Hi all,
So sorry to say, but just for today, we have a sick Jay.
The cold started Wednesday, and on the drive yesterday, it got worse.
As a result, no Tea & Coffee this morning.
I'll recover and we'll see you Monday.
God bless.

Enjoy the Conversation on Alberta Independence with Jeffrey Rath & Chris Scott — From the Live event in Drayton Valley!
Whistle Stop Cafe's Chris Scott and Alberta lawyer Jeffrey Rath, whose fiery new piece “ALBERTA WANTS OUT! An Open Letter to Danielle Smith” is sparking province-wide debate, were on stage for an uncensored, audience-driven discussion about whether Alberta should chart its course.
What’s in the Letter & Why It Matters
Leadership at a Crossroads: Rath says Premier Smith must remove Kenney-era ministers implicated in pandemic misfeasance or risk losing Albertans’ trust.
COVID Accountability Gap: There has been no public inquiry, no retroactive help for shuttered businesses, and no action on vaccine injury concerns.
“Team Alberta,” Not “Team Canada”: He slams Ottawa’s 25 % retaliatory tariffs and Smith’s support for making everything from trucks to tomatoes pricier in Alberta.
20 Reasons to Go It Alone: From axing federal taxes and ...
Throughout Canada’s modern era, one guiding truth has held constant for many citizens of faith: that our fundamental rights and freedoms originate from a higher authority—God—rather than mere privileges granted by government or courts. When the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was introduced in 1982, the drafters inserted a crucial statement at the very outset:
“Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law: …”
According to former Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford, the last living signatory to the Charter, this statement, followed by a colon, was deliberately designed to be read before each section of the Charter. It was not a ceremonial “preamble” but a constant framing principle, meant to remind legislators, judges, and citizens alike that the Charter’s rights have a transcendent source. The supremacy of God was intended to inform and contextualize all subsequent articles, rather than be relegated to symbolic status or ignored altogether.
