FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE  

On January 2 2025, with impressive efficiency, Justice Southcott of the Vancouver Federal Court rendered a precedent setting decision in Canada.  The class action 2(d) Charter claim, which was filed on October 6, 2023, has survived the Attorney General of Canada’s motion to strike and will proceed to class certification. The claim was brought on behalf of three plaintiffs, STACEY HELENA PAYNE, JOHN HARVEY and LUCAS DIAZ MOLARO, all of whom are members of FedsForFreedom, a group with the mandate of advocating for employees rights to informed consent, bodily autonomy, and medical privacy within the Canadian Federal Public Service. 

Southcott noted “the class action is still some distance from being certified, and the parties have yet to begin litigating in detail which employees might be covered in the class definition”.  

As expected the Attorney General has filed an appeal which will further prolong the process, thereby inflating costs. Should the decision to proceed be upheld in the court of appeals, the next step in the process will be the proposed representative plaintiffs achieving class certification wherein it must be demonstrated that all criteria are met. In order to do that, the proposed representative plaintiffs must show to the Court that they have the ability to see this through to the end; meaning, in large part that, they possess the financial means to fund the case.

Once certified, all Canadians who meet the (court determined) class definitions can be included in the Class Action at no cost to them. 

Legal counsel, expert witnesses, administrative and court fees all require significant funds.  We are striving to support the proposed representative plaintiffs through our fundraising efforts.

We have come so far, and fought tirelessly to gain ground and we are facing this next challenge head on! Today we call upon all Canadians to support our continued fight to uphold Charter rights in our country: 

• Donate today! Every little bit helps! Donating is easy via our website and will help us continue the legal journey to certification.  
• Spread the word. Help us get the word out about our case, this monumental win and the journey still before us. Follow along on our socials, share this press release, talk to your friends and family about the important legal precedence our case represents.  
• Join our community of support. Are you a Federal Public Servant who was impacted by the mandates? We offer two membership options to support us in achieving class certification so that we may see this pursuit of justice to the end. 

The proposed representative plaintiffs, and the entirety of FedsForFreedom, owe a debt of gratitude to their incredible lawyer, Umar Sheikh, and the whole team at Sheikh Law for their fortitude, tirelessness and dedication to the pursuit of justice. They would also like to acknowledge the freedom fighters who came before them and also those who will follow,  for whom this precedent will be pivotal. They wish to express their appreciation for each and every patriot, countrymen and freedom fighter that has cheered them on during the trials and tribulations that have led them to this monumental moment.

Your support means more than words can express and has fuelled their fire to carry on in the face of tremendous adversity, and against all odds, start chalking up wins. We appreciate your donations, shares and prayers.
