Trudeau’s Power Grab: Federal Court Case Exposes His Desperate Attempt to Silence Parliament (Exclusive)

John Carpay and the JCCF are leading a high-stakes legal battle to stop Trudeau’s unprecedented 11-week Parliament shutdown—a blatant power grab to dodge accountability, silence opposition, and shield his government from scrutiny—while also fighting government overreach, digital ID surveillance, and the erosion of Canadian democracy.
Ottawa, Canada – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s controversial decision to prorogue Parliament for 11 weeks has landed his government in federal court. With legal support from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), Canadians David MacKinnon and Aris Lavranous are arguing that Trudeau’s move is unconstitutional and must be overturned immediately.
JCCF President John Carpay and his legal team presented their case on February 13, emphasizing that while prorogation is a legitimate parliamentary tool, Trudeau is abusing it to shield himself from a confidence vote and to buy time for the Liberal Party to find a new leader.
“Prorogation was never meant to serve as a political lifeline for a floundering government,” Carpay asserted. “This is an unprecedented 11-week suspension of democratic oversight, done purely for partisan gain. If allowed to stand, it sets a dangerous precedent—any future prime minister could suspend Parliament whenever it’s politically convenient, with no real justification.”
Below is John Carpay’s speech on the evening of the 13th, following his day in court.
A Deliberate Effort to Block Accountability?
Carpay’s legal team warned the court that Trudeau’s move effectively hands unchecked executive power to the Prime Minister and his Privy Council. With Parliament silenced, Trudeau faces no parliamentary scrutiny during a critical time for Canada—particularly as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatens a 25% tariff on Canadian goods.
The lawsuit argues that if this prorogation is upheld, there will be nothing stopping future prime ministers from arbitrarily shutting down Parliament to dodge accountability.
This case is being handled on an expedited schedule due to its urgency. Chief Justice Paul Cranton refused to allow government delays, ordering quick filings and oral arguments. A ruling could come as soon as February 21, making this one of the fastest-moving constitutional cases in Canadian history.
Adding to the drama, the court proceedings were disrupted in a highly suspicious manner. During the lunch break on February 13, just ten minutes before the end of the lunch break and court was set to resume, someone pulled the fire alarm at the federal court building, causing a 20-minute delay in Carpay’s presentation.
“There is zero chance the individual who pulled that alarm wasn’t caught on security cameras,” a JCCF insider noted.
This kind of tactic has been used before—ANTIFA has pulled fire alarms to silence speakers they disagree with. Was this an attempt to sabotage the case against Trudeau’s prorogation?
Despite the loss of 20 minutes due to the fire alarm, Carpay’s team managed to present their full argument before the court adjourned. Continue…
