OTTAWA — A group challenging the Liberal government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act in court says Chief Justice Richard Wagner should consider recusing himself from upcoming Supreme Court deliberations on the matter because of 2022 comments on the Freedom Convoy. “Justice Wagner made comments with respect to the participants in the Freedom Convoy 2022 protests that could lead to an apprehension of bias,” reads the filing. On the same day, Canadian Frontline Nurses and Nagle filed their own application to the SCC appealing a lower court decision to deny them standing in the aforementioned Emergencies Act challenge. Some of the comments raised by the Canadian Frontline Nurses date back to an April 2022 interview Wagner gave to Montreal-based newspaper Le Devoir . Boissonneau-Lehner said his group is not explicitly calling for Wagner’s recusal, but said the Le Devoir article “speaks for itself”.
