Justice Under Fire: A Candid Interview with JCCF’s John Carpay

Manitoba Stronger Together is proud to welcome John Carpay, one of Canada’s leading voices in the fight for civil liberties and constitutional rights. As a seasoned constitutional lawyer and the founder and president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), Mr. Carpay has spent decades defending Canadians in courtrooms across the country — standing up for freedom of speech, religion, conscience, and bodily autonomy. His work has placed him at the centre of some of the most critical and controversial legal battles of our time, especially those stemming from government overreach during the COVID-19 era.

For over two decades, Mr. Carpay has been at the forefront of defending freedom of speech, conscience, religion, and bodily autonomy in Canada. Under his leadership, the JCCF has represented Canadians in high-profile court cases where core constitutional rights were under attack — especially during the pandemic and its aftermath.

Why You Should Attend: This meeting will cover critical issues facing Canada’s legal and constitutional landscape — topics that concern every citizen, regardless of political affiliation.
John will provide insight into:

Key cases the JCCF is currently involved in
The state of the Canadian justice system, including:
The role of Canadian courts
Pandemic-related court shutdowns and delays
Undue judicial deference to government action
Problems with judicial review standards and judicial notice
The growing issue of mootness and how it denies public accountability
Concerns over judicial independence and appointments
The hidden dynamics between the judiciary and government prosecutors
Societal pressure on the bench and the fear felt by legal practitioners

This conversation is a vital step in understanding how Canadians can defend their rights, rebuild trust in the courts, and hold institutions accountable.

This is one of the most raw, intelligent, and inspiring interviews we’ve ever hosted.
