Justin Trudeau has suspended Parliament—is there any recourse?

I spoke with JCCF lawyer James Manson about a challenge being mounted in response to Trudeau's proroguing of Parliament

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fooled the public into thinking he resigned—instead he gave himself unchecked power by suspending all Parliamentary business until March 24, 2025. Not everyone is taking this interruption of the democratic process sitting down—the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has provided lawyers to two Canadian citizens, David MacKinnon and Aris Lavranos, who are seeking a Federal Court declaration that Prime Minister Trudeau’s prorogation of Parliament is unreasonable and must be set aside.

On Wednesday, I spoke with lawyer James Manson about the challenge, what it means to prorogue Parliament, whether this proroguing is justified, and why Justin Trudeau has taken such measures.
