here’s the real problem — a national emergency declaration would not change how the police are handling the protests....
So if a national emergency doesn’t override provincial or municipal “control or direction” of police aren’t we back at square one, where the police with jurisdiction are dealing with the problem? ...
Some might argue that federal prohibitions like that cited earlier regarding public assemblies breaching the peace are reason enough to declare a national emergency, giving the police additional powers, but in Ontario and most other provinces those prohibitions can be made under a provincial emergency declaration, or even a municipal one....
Emergency management, whether for public welfare or public order, starts at the lowest level of government before it — if necessary — escalates upwards. The prime minister shouldn’t be declaring a national emergency if the only result will be to prohibit assemblies or impose curfews. Having declared a municipal emergency the mayor of Ottawa can do so, and the question is, why hasn’t he?...
The Act isn’t about taking over provincial and municipal responsibilities for public order. It’s far broader than that: section 16 defines a Public Order Emergency as arising “from threats to the security of Canada” defined in the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act (CSIS Act)....
If that’s what we think is really happening in Ottawa, in Coutts, and elsewhere, then the prime minister might declare a national emergency, but thus far a compelling case that these protests are “threats to the security of Canada” as defined in the CSIS Act hasn’t been made by him or anyone else in a position of authority.

meanwhile his chief enabler Jagmeet Singh - who claims to be a champion of "free speech" and "the right to protest" - says squat and continues to prop up this incompetent
Ping.
This is the War Powers Act, they changed the name some time ago. I wonder if this would allow Trudeau to order the military to go after truckers.
Pure Liberal Fascism. The Cabbage Patch Commies of Ottawa are stirred up like a hornets nest. Their smug lives have met the majority of Canada,FREE, sweaty, hairy, happy , hard working men and women from Canada’s transportation frontier.And my goodness the Cabbage Patch is horrified by the sight of Freedom!
And the Cabbage Patch Commie Committees are scared to death.
Now Trudeau has to find a foreign source of destabilization in order to invoke the Emergency Measures Act, and he will use facts that are untrue to do so… ( donors of money to freedom truckers from around the world that Trudeau has not been able to stop), turn that into a boogie man under the beds of Canadians to instill fear,bend the arms of the Provinces in extortion because he controls their purses through grant payments, and then remove habeas corpus ( arrest with no probable cause that crime was committed, no bail, no right to a hearing) and put the entire nation of Canada under martial law,suspend elections , and suspend Parliament
Trudeau wants this badly. It will allow him to jail his political opponents.Trudeau has scores to settle.A further violation of the Charter Rights and Freedoms of all Canadians.
Trudeau is creating more than a group of passive protestors here if he invokes the Emergency Measures Act. He is creating millions of Sans Coulottes, and a movement that will result in the complete downfall of the Liberal and NDP parties of Canada.
BRING IT BRANDEAU !
It proves the Freedom Convoy’s point, that Trudeau intends to use the pandemic to remove Charter Rights and Freedoms from Canadians on a permanent basis: Limited Travel and Assembly rights as well as a limitation on Freedom of Speech. Now we will live under a new Mugabe, the new “tough” Trudeau has become a monster.
Its past time to organize a Non confidence motion in Parliament, dissolve Parliament and call an election, a real election , an informed election.
We need leaders who will assure that whatever they do, it will always be within the generous confines of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Lets get on with it.
Trudeau’s real Emergency is that he is losing the political battle he has waged against ordinary Canadians for the past two and a half years in which he has engaged a permanent socialist reconstruction of Canada. Canada rejects it.
THE TRUDEAU MONSTER, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES !
Hey Canada ... How Do you like him now?

Jagmeet. He’s a big dude in Canada?
Problem recognized.
Now that’s funny!
Streets cleaner than ever.
People literally dancing in the streets.
Freedom.
It’s simple. No more Covid restrictions.
Castro’s son is clawing and screaming to stay in power.
Thanks for letting us know! That’s good news but Trudeau has some kind of plan or reason for this.
Sorry, but I can’t resist:
“How DARE you?!?” :P
Under the regulatiry power of the Emergency Act they will suspend Habeas Corpus, suspend all bail hearings , and then they can throw ANYONE they want in jail, including Truckers. They would throuw you in jail for yelling “F**k Trudeau.”And you can be held for the duration of the Emergency Decklaration , at least 60 days.
I remember 1970 when Papa Brandeau used the Act, hundreds of his political opponents were clapped in Irons and kept in jail without a hearing.They went missing and their relatives diod not know where they were, they were not even allowed to call home.
YOu can bet that hundreds of truckers will be jailed. The police have been identifying them over the past several weeks in Ottawa , Coutts, and Windsor, acting friendly, talking to them, being nicr, asking for frivers licenses to write tickerts and taking names. ALL OF THEN WILL BE JAILED AND SHUT UP.THEY WILL BE TREATED WORSE THAN CRIMINALS.
If parliament allows this to happen, they will have the whole country against them.
The Cabbgae Patch Commies are getting ready to take over and IMPOSE their woke Utopia.
Even over the objections of four provinces: https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-premiers-of-4-provinces-oppose-trudeaus-use-of-emergencies-act-on-freedom-protesters
So...
...on to Parliamentary Review, and — if they Approve...
... Canada erupts in bloody revolution?
Turd-o has his finger on the trigger of a gun pointed at his own f’n head, and has ZERO freakin’ clue.
They wanted it national to get those donations and bank accounts.
This is to scare people into not protesting anymore or “we will hurt ya”.
Like they do here.
... and the Conservatives and Bloc Quebecois together have a majority in Parliament
