And So The Journey Ends —“The application for leave to appeal from the judgment of the Federal Court of Appeal, Number A-251-22, 2023 FCA 219, dated November 9, 2023, is dismissed with costs.’

It was necessary from my point of view to cause the highest court to rule. And they have.

We now know that justice has vacated the land. Hesoid , the ancient Greek poet ( 700 BC ) , had justice as a God, the daughter of Zeus. Many millennium later in Canada , justice is relegated to a dark place where individual rights go to die.

In responding to my lawyer and co litigants I said the following:

“The Right of a citizen in Canada to know whether a Federal Government policy/program that negatively affects that citizen is constitutional has been denied .

This I am sure most Canadians would see as an automatic , a natural outcome of our democratic principles and traditions —the right to know if a Government is violating one’s Charter Rights.

Not so.

This decision hastens our Country’s democratic decline. “
