The Mosely Decision Appeal

Eddie Cornell, a plaintiff in the ongoing Mosely decision appeal, joins us to share insights from Day 1 of the hearing. At stake is the Canadian government’s justification for invoking emergency powers—particularly whether it was warranted to freeze bank accounts and label peaceful citizens as potential threats. Eddie recounts key exchanges in court, including:

Crown Arguments
How government lawyers defended using emergency powers by citing unreasonable paranoia and ignoring contrary evidence from CSIS, RCMP, and local police.

Judicial Scrutiny
Judges questioned why the government continued enforcing the Emergencies Act even after blockades were cleared and whether freezing bank accounts constituted an unlawful seizure.

Charter & Accountability
The government acknowledges it breached Canadians’ Charter rights yet insists these measures were “demonstrably justified.”

Panama’s New Direction

Michael Yon returns from Panama with major updates following Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s high-profile visit as the Panamanian government commits to free passage for U.S. warships and pledges to leave China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

Canal Control & Free Passage
Panama’s promise to accommodate U.S. naval movements raises questions about sovereignty and the canal’s global strategic importance.

Exit from Chinese Influence
President Mulino’s vow to withdraw from China’s signature lending program and how this could reshape regional alliances.

U.S. Leverage
Echoing President Trump’s stance, Rubio warns that further action may be taken unless Panama aligns with American interests.
