The group Vaccine Choice Canada filed a 190-page lawsuit challenging the Canadian government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The $11 million Vaccine Choice Canada lawsuit was initially filed on July 6 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, but CBC News reportedly only recently obtained an unredacted copy of the complaint.
Vaccine Choice Canada, together with seven individuals, are suing the governments of Canada and Ontario, the city of Toronto, Ontario health authorities, health officials, senior politicians, and the CBC over the COVID-19 response.
The group claims that the COVID-19 regulations violate Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
According to the Vaccine Choice Canada lawsuit, the government-imposed shutdown of businesses to prevent the spread of COVID-19 was “extreme, unwarranted and unjustified.” Further, the group argues that the social distancing and self-isolation measures were “not scientific, nor medically based nor proven.”
Vaccine Choice Canada also reportedly argues that requiring individuals to wear masks in some public spaces can cause “physical and psychological harm.”
According to the Vaccine Choice Canada lawsuit, these measures violate various rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Charter, including the right of association; the right to life, liberty and security of the person; certain measures constitute unlawful search and seizure, and arbitrary detention by enforcement officers; and some COVID-19 measures violate the right to equality before and under the law.
“The measures … are further not in accordance with the tenets of fundamental justice in their overbreadth, nor are they justified under S.1 of the charter in that they are demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society,” the COVID-19 response lawsuit argues.
According to s. 1 of the Charter, Charter rights can be limited by law so long as those limits can be shown to be reasonable in a free and democratic society.
“The ‘pandemic’ is false, and the measures phony, designed and implemented for improper and ulterior purposes, at the behest of the [World Health Organization], controlled and directed by billionaire, corporate oligarchs,” the Vaccine Choice Canada lawsuit reportedly alleges.
Vaccine Choice Canada alleges that far more people have died due to the COVID-19 measures than have purportedly died of the virus, “even if one take the deaths ‘caused’ by COVID as a given.”
The COVID-19 response lawsuit includes personal accounts from some of the plaintiffs, including a Toronto real estate agent who claims the COVID-19 measures are driving down the prices of homes and condominiums in the city, a mother and daughter who were not allowed to enter a grocery store, and a former University of Ottawa professor who says the CBC did not allow him on television to discuss his views on the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Vaccine Choice Canada lawsuit also includes personal stories of others who have suffered adverse mental health effects during the COVID-19 pandemic. One woman says she cannot wear a mask because it causes her to relive a traumatic experience in which she had a mask held over her face during a sexual assault.
Another story reportedly involves a man with autism who has allegedly been “totally mentally devastated” by the COVID-19 measures that have disrupted his routines and his social network.
The lawsuit also includes allegations that are unrelated to the COVID-19 crisis, including a claim that Bill Gates is anticipating a “‘twenty-fold’ return on his $10 billion vaccine investment within the next few decades.”
The complaint also reportedly references the Chinese military, international vaccine programs, 5G networks, and the Rockefeller Foundation as related to the creation and spread of COVID-19, but reportedly does not provide supporting scientific evidence for these claims. This lack of scientific evidence could potentially lead to a dismissal of the case under Ontario’s rules of civil procedure.
The CBC is reportedly named as a defendant for allegedly propagating “false news” and misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccine Choice Canada is also reportedly considering suing the CBC over its coverage related to anti-mask and anti-vaccination movements.
Although Vaccine Choice Canada describes itself as a watchdog organization that seeks “to empower families to make educated, voluntary, and informed decisions about vaccination,” the group has been criticized by public health authorities for spreading false or misleading information about immunization.
This Rocco Galati lawsuit COVID is not the first to challenge the COVID-19 response in Canada. In June, the Quebec government and its public health department were hit with a COVID-19 response lawsuit challenging the measures put in place to protect residents from the spread of the novel coronavirus. Numerous other lawsuits have been filed challenging other aspects of the COVID-19 impact on various industries.

Vote the current party back in and it is game over.
This is a plandemic. The jab is not a vac. People need to goto jail for crimes against humanity.
Nothing government is doing regarding Covid makes sense. I’m 100% against lockdowns. I believe masks are useless and I believe the vaccines are outright dangerous!
I have a very difficult time understanding how people are lining up for and bragging about taking the vaccine. It especially baffles me when I see educated people running for this.
I’ve always been well aware that educated doesn’t necessarily mean smart!
So true….well said!
Agree!
I can only agree with most of the comments.
willy gates & his cronies tfauci jtrudeau (mar 2020 jt said there will be no new normal until everyone is vaccinated., are the architects behind it all. An orchestrated marketing campaign with Tech giants, Media, Big Pharma, WHO, & govts around the world who belong to WHO working together to create unwarranted fear to get everyone vaccinated. For what? Less than 1% of people die who receive the virus. How is that a pandemic as dictated by the WHO? Who controls the WHO? Our “good friend” willy!
JT you can stick your vaccine right up that place where the sun don’t shine!
How is that we the people are not governed by our politicians? Dollars from Big Business , that is why? Every politician should be investigated
Free speech, where? Doctors prescribing natural products have uncanny shortened life spans from suicides and vehicle accidents, as well as more trivial acts as having FB, twitt YT accounts deleted/banned
I would like to be part of this lawsuit . It is my God given right to refuse this vaccine . There is an agenda , in place , and we cannot allow this to happen , the agenda is globalism , and would give government total control .
You would , own nothing ……
And “Be Happy “
Go figure !!!!!!
Add me please I refuse to get it
I would like to be part of this lawsuit, is there any way for other people to add their statements or demonstrate the harm this has caused?
Covid 19 is a hoax and all levels of government need to be charged with crimes against humanity in civil rights and freedoms
How could I be part of this lawsuit?
I have been dealing with discrimination from my work because of my disability and them forcing masks.
SUE
How can the average citizen get involved and have imput on this lawsuit?
I do not consent, and will never consent to this vaccine! That is my God given right! This is not a communist country, and God willing never will be. We all need to wake up and do our homework, not let ourselves be brainwashed by the media panic. My 93 year old grandfather tested positive from COVID, no symptoms, he was “quarantined” for over a month in a nursing home! He now has PTSD. This craziness needs to end. PEACE PLEASE!
“…the group has been criticized by public health authorities for spreading false or misleading information about immunization.”
We all know that the world’s public health agencies are controlled by Pharma, so this statement has zero basis in fact. Top Class Actions would do well to stay neutral when posting class actions, since it is not their business to sway public opinion either way. Or is it?
Most with any common sense know there is an agenda in place! Time to take a stand and fight for human rights!
What kind of a precedent would be setting by NOT holding our government accountable for this Covid-19 farce? The government IS accountable (and all individuals therein) and should be forced to answer to the electorate that it is mandated to serve.
If we neglect to demand the government justifies its position, we will end up with the totalitarian state we will have ushered in with our implied consent.
The Liberal Government of what was once the best country in the world, is rapidly destroying every thing that it once stood for. No one feels safe as to what is going to happen next. I feel that with all the laws that are being broken, and the new ones being Dictated to us, that before long we will be a communist country.! …………How would a person go about to join this Covid class action group.?
There is no scientific evidence to support the extreme measures being mandated by our governments. We need real data and not fictitious numbers. Remember, you are supposed to be protecting citizens and not your interests. Either come clean or resign!
I want to be part of this
All you have to do is look at Sweden and Switzerland to see and understand that what has been happening in Canada and, mostly, around the world is fear mongering. Sadly, it has worked on the majority. What is behind this virus is much more frightening than the virus itself.
I only hope that enough people wake up before we are totally lost.
I would like to have joined this law suit and many others I know as well. The governments response was slow and and wrong on all fronts. All that was needed was to stop the influx of travelers coming into Canada. The wearing of masks is a dangerous thing for many people because they cause blood pressure to rise and in some like my daughter and son and myself to have panic attacks. I will not be taking any vaccine. I personally know of no one who has had the covid 19, nor do I know of anyone who knows of anyone who has had it. That tells me a lot.
The government of Canada (and in fact all governments that have participated in this exaggerated response to a ‘pandemic’) (the definition of which, has also been manipulated in 2020 to reflect the current circumstances) MUST be held to account. I am a highly functioning, educated individual and I have noticed the state of my mental health quickly deteriorating; I am consumed by anxiety and have unbelievable dread for the future. I cannot sleep, I cannot eat and the pains in my stomach (pains I have never before experienced) are unbearable. We MUST all stand up against this tyranny now because soon we’ll have very little to defend and save. This has to stop!
The Canadian Government has failed the People! We ELECTED them. We do not bow down to them! They have destroyed families, friends, people’s livelihood, over a virus that is 97% or higher recoverable! I’m Sorry people have died. it is tragic. But people die every.single.day.
Where is the concern for the mental health impact this has taken? Where is the concern for the suicide rate increasing! Where is the concern for the people of Canada! There is scientific study after study that proves mask do nothing! Oh but wait they CAN increase your risk of a viral infection. Where is THAT in the news. This Government has failed its people and I hope they lose this lawsuit.
Our Gov has failed us horribly. Do not vote “him”in again.
There is no scientific evidence to support the extreme measures being mandated by our governments. We need real data and not fictitious numbers. Remember, you are supposed to be protecting citizens and not your interests. Either come clean or resign!
With a 99% survival rate there is no need for a vaccine, especially one that has been rushed to market by known corrupt people.
