CBC buries story of Supreme Court Emergency Powers decision

If you recall, on February 14 of '22 Justin Trudeau gifted us a Valentine; martial law, by declaring the Emergency Act. For the next 30 days Canada was officially a police state, all because of a bunch of truck-drivers who, according to Justin, entertained unacceptable ideas. Not only that, the ruckus their children created on the bouncy castles was a life-threatening inconvenience to the tens of thousands of civil servants who were working from their downtown Ottawa condos thanks to the covid shutdowns. Those are Justin's base, and he literally declared war on their behalf. Fast forward a couple years and a lower court finds the declaration of emergency powers was unwarranted and unconstitutional. Of course the government appealed that decision. Fast forward a couple more years and today the Supreme Court was due to render the final judgement on the matter. I was keen to see how that turned out, so this afternoon I checked out CBC News. Top story, in fact the first seven stories, were all related to Carney's China trip. Scroll down... scroll down... keep scrolling... Oh! Here we are, 18 stories in! Only after we are apprised of the latest tidbits about Mountie malfeacance, ICE protests, Kashechewan evacuation, Bo Bichette signing with the Mets for $126 million, and a rogue sea lion taking up residence in Howe Sound, does the CBC see fit to inform us that the Supremes sided with the lower court! Here's something else you might recall. The CBC's coverage of the "Freedom Convoy" was a travesty of journalism and an insult to Canadians. For two weeks their team in Ottawa chased alleged swastika sightings around downtown Ottawa while studiously avoiding any attempt to address the issues. Nobody worked harder to sell Emergency Powers, ie War Measures, than the CBC. I'm not surprised they want to bury their shame.
