Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with his cabinet Sunday night to discuss invoking the War Measures Act, renamed the Emergencies Act in 1988. According to reports from multiple media outlets in Ottawa, Trudeau told his caucus Monday that he now intends to do so.
This would put Canada under a state of martial law used only three times in Canada’s history: the First World War, the Second World War, and the FLQ terrorism crisis.
The Emergencies (War Measures) Act is an extraordinarily authoritarian piece of legislation, meant to combat violent enemies in an active state of war with Canada.

So, Parliament is going to declare war?
Truckers formidible!
Suggestion: General Truck Strike. Refuse to deliver to Ottawa, and Toronto. See what happens in three days.
The curtain is lifted. "Consent of the governed" is an illusion all along. A catch-phrase to justify all sorts of bad control.
I have never learned or heard of a government that gave up control of ANYTHING, until the battle of wills escalated to a battle of resistance.
Aye. None of us does. This is spiritual battle. A reasonable settlement is to follow reality, abandon the vaccine and mask mandates, quell the covid fear, and get on with the dirty business of simple living.

LOL. Wanna bet?
I wonder what would happen if a big rig took out 10 kilometers of powerlines.
That is the very nature of things. It's nature of government to hold power and control over others, always justified in the holder's mind. Government exists to restrain people, not to free them. It's an awesome force and responsibility. Can be used for good or for bad.
WMarshal, I watched the documentary of the guy who built that tractor tank. It was a great show. They couldn’t do anything to stop the guy.
Yeah, that guy had a cold anger and planned accordingly.
crime ‘under color of law’.
hell of a lot of that nowadays.
Very nice of you.....thanks.
The first thing Trudeau is doing is freezing/seizing bank accounts thought to be funding the Convoy. The courts appear to be supportive of this offensive.
Bouncy Houses of Terror!
Pure Klaus Schwab. I'm sure the Western "democracies" will all express this opinion with the same readiness that they adopted vaccine mandates.
Ah...the ‘Killdozer’. How would it do against a tank?
I don’t know, what’s the dozer-to-tank ratio in Canada, 1000 to 1?
