It's as many previously said -- the CMOH has the ultimate authority over health rulings during a public health emergency and is more than just an advisor to the political decision makers.

Hinshaw and the politicians liked to say the opposite during the "endemic" phase:

How many times did she and the politicians gaslight us on this one?
How many times did she stand at the lecturn abdicating responsibility saying "I'm just an advisor"?
How many times did Kenney remind us that decision making power rests solely with cabinet and elected officials?

This court ruling clearly states the opposite. In a public health emergency, the CMOH has ultimate authority over health rules, not politicians. Whether the Public Health Act was simply misinterpreted or manipulated for political purposes, this is a hugely important clarification for understanding what went wrong with covid management and is something all the provinces should be taking note of for next time.
