A lawsuit launched more than two years ago by a group of former Toronto Metropolitan University students over the school’s COVID vaccination policy has been given clearance to proceed.
Ryan O’Connor has been representing 18 students from the university, which was formerly known as Ryerson, since they launched their lawsuit in 2022. Despite the long delay, a judge has now decided that enough evidence exists to move the case to discovery, he told The Epoch Times.
“(TMU lawyers) wanted to appear in court to attempt to schedule a summary judgment motion and have the lawsuit tossed, claiming there was no viable cause for action that the students had against the university,” Mr. O’Connor said.
However, the court decided in February that “this is a case that ought to go through the normal legal process,” he said. He expects the sharing of evidence and oral cross-examinations to begin sometime this summer.
“This is an opportunity to review the university’s evidence and the rationale behind why it decided to adopt the policy it did,” said Mr. O’Connor. “And let’s be clear, they had to adopt a vaccine policy but they were not required to deregister or otherwise discipline students who were not able to be vaccinated for whatever reason.”
He said the more time that passes since the policy was adopted, “the more we’re understanding the risk [of vaccination] far outweighed any sort of reward. We also knew that at the time, the vaccines were not stopping transmission. And the university would have had that evidence at the time the policy was adopted in the fall of 2021.”A lawsuit launched more than two years ago by a group of former Toronto Metropolitan University students over the school’s COVID vaccination policy has been given clearance to proceed.

OPEN LETTER: To the Prime Minister of the "New World Order"
TO: The Right Honourable Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada
FROM: Jennifer Elizabeth Telfer
I. The Banker in the PMO
You have famously stated on camera, "I'm a banker, not a career politician." That much is evident. Your leadership has treated Canada not as a sovereign nation of citizens, but as a balance sheet to be "optimized" for global investors. You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...
Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
" Six years ago. Val’s health began to be compromised. She battled every day to reverse the vaccine injury after long battle in excruciating pain."
