Federal Court to declare that Prime Minister Trudeau's decision to prorogue

BREAKING NEWS

Today, two Canadians have asked the Federal Court to declare that Prime Minister Trudeau's decision to prorogue Parliament is unreasonable and must be set aside. 

With help from the Justice Centre, applicants David MacKinnon and Aris Lavranos contend that a prorogued Parliament services the interests of the Liberal Party of Canada @liberal_party and not the interests of Canadians to whom they are responsible.
