Canadian Military Facing $500M Lawsuit Over COVID Vaccine Mandates

In a class-action lawsuit against senior Canadian military figures, about 330 active and retired members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) claim that COVID-19 vaccine mandates caused them harm and are suing for damages of about $500 million.

“The CAF shirked its own purpose and rushed an untested product onto its members, mislabeled this experimental gene therapy a ‘vaccine,’ knowingly made false statements of safety and efficacy, and facilitated its mandate with no option to refuse except for mandatory permanent removal from service,” is part of the statement of the claim filed with the Federal Court.

According to the lawsuit, the CAF overstepped its authority by disobeying express legal restraints, permitting unvaccinated members to be physically and/or psychologically tortured under the direction of CAF commissioned officers, disobeying established law regarding the right to privacy and the right to receive medical treatment of one’s choice, and disobeying established law regarding informed consent and regarding religious and spiritual faith.

According to the lawsuit, members who refused to obey the vaccine mandates suffered serious ramifications, including career loss and loss of employment opportunities outside the CAF, and also loss of income, pension plan, benefits, travel, and even the most basic participation in work or public sphere.

In addition, the suit alleges that commanding officers used coercion to enforce compliance. The lawsuit lists a few of these instances, such as “forcing members to spend unnecessary extended periods of time outside in extreme winter weather without shelter or protection as well as forcibly confining members to small, confined quarters with no reprieve for meals or personal hygiene necessities.”
