Rath & Company have shared a positive update regarding their proposed class-action lawsuit against the Government of Canada and Province of Alberta, filed in February of 2024 with the Court of King’s Bench in Lethbridge.
Still in its early stages, this lawsuit, spearheaded by Carrie Sakamoto, aims to address allegations of negligence, misinformation, and deceptive practices by defending government officials, regarding the vaccines’ safety and efficacy. The lawsuit claims that the authorities knowingly provided false information, suppressed truthful data about vaccine risks, and coerced the public into vaccination through the restriction of personal rights and financial penalties in the form of temporary or permanent loss of income; all of which potentially amounting to criminal negligence. The lawsuit seeks justice for those who experienced physical and psychological injury or death due to these alleged actions.
Carrie Sakamoto is a mother from Alberta who suffered severe and permanent physical and mental injuries following her Covid-19 vaccination. While this is tragically not an isolated incident, her story is one of the most egregious In Canada. So too is the gaslighting and complete refusal to acknowledge her injuries by those responsible.
The most recent update from Rath & Company speaks to the outcome of a Case Management Hearing with Justice Dilts. Alberta had filed a sequencing motion to strike the lawsuit prior to its certification, with a hearing set for January 28, 2025. This would have seen the motion to strike considered in advance, and without the full weight and consideration of the evidence provided.
However, Justice Dilts has ruled that the motion to strike is to be addressed at or concurrent with the certification hearing, rather than in a separate pre-certification proceeding. The update explains that Justice Dilts decision cited the importance of judicial efficiency, fairness, and the need to evaluate the complex claims on a complete evidentiary record, rather than through a fragmented process.
Lead council Jeffrey Rath continues, stating “This ruling is an important procedural outcome for our client, Carrie Sakamoto, and the proposed class. By denying the defendants’ request for an early hearing of their strike applications, the Court has ensured that these allegations will be reviewed comprehensively at the appropriate stage, maintaining a fair and efficient process for pursuing justice on behalf of Albertans who allege harm from Covid injections.”
We are grateful that justice Dilts acknowledges the importance in this case and potential weight of the evidence. Too frequently we have seen others disregard or diminish the strength of evidence provided in similar cases by kowtowing to government demands at the expense of those seeking justice for the injuries they have suffered.
We will continue to follow this lawsuit closely, looking forward to the next step of certification. The lawsuit remains open for other plaintiffs to join – details and documentation can be found on the Rath & Company website, by clicking here.
It is long past due for our governments and medical leaders to be held to account for their coercive actions against the people of Canada, and for them to finally acknowledge the damage caused by such actions.
We stand with Carrie, and with all Canadians who have suffered under these egregious and manipulative mandates.
