Philosophy Friday, w. Blair Ector - Ultra Vires

Blair Ector recently rose to prominence as lead counsel in Jost v Canada (Governor in Council) 2024 FC 32, to which V4F founding member Eddie Cornell a co-applicant. In the landmark case, he successfully argued that the invocation Emergencies Act was unlawful and unconstitutional.

Blair's firm, Loberg Ector LLP commenced proceedings in Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Ottawa) on behalf of 20 victims of the Trudeau government’s unconstitutional misuse of the provisions of the Emergencies Act in February, 2022. The Plaintiffs in this action seek compensation and related relief arising from the unjustified and unconstitutional actions of the Liberal government, as well as the actions of certain police agencies and Canadian financial institutions who followed the unlawful orders of the Liberal government, and other defendants who participated in or promoted these actions.

Blair has an undergrad in philosophy, and practices stoicism in his daily life, with a focus on the Meditations of Marcus Aeurelllius. He joins Jeff Evely today to discuss how the teachings of Stoicism guide him in his daily life and serve as a source of strength to continue the good fight.
