A constitutional rights group says it’s suing Ottawa for invoking the Emergencies Act and freezing the financial accounts of several individuals who participated in the recent protests opposing the federal COVID-19 mandates.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) said in a Feb. 25 news release that it has filed a constitutional challenge (pdf) against the feds on behalf of four Canadians, including two decorated military veterans and a retired police officer.
