Freedom Convoy protesters plan to sue the federal government, banks, and police after a court victory, citing unreasonable invocation of the Emergencies Act during the 2022 protest. The legal action aims to hold the government, banks, and police accountable for their actions during the protest, which initially focused on COVID-19 vaccine mandates and evolved into opposition to pandemic restrictions.
