"BREAKING: Trudeau has updated his schedule, and will likely invoke martial law at 4:30 local time. Military officials have been consulted by Trudeau's staff."
No insight on this, but I’d guess the Canadian military is just as cooperative with liberal govt as the US military is. Trudeau has been in charge for 7 years, that’s plenty of time to shape the leadership. Look at the results of 8 years of Caliph Baraq as “Commander in Chief”.
Yep, he’s a confident dictator
If Trudeau is successful in calling out the military against the truckers, look for the US junta to try the same.
Oh, boy...

BREAKING @JustinTrudeau invokes the Emergencies Act for the first time. Says it will be in a time limited way and limited in scope. Financial institutions will be able to stop funds used to support illegal blockades. #cdnpoli4:39 PM · Feb 14, 2022
Thought crime! Thought Crime!
No leader has ever only used emergency powers in a limited way!
General nationwide strike. Bring this tyrant and his government down.
The Canadian military ain’t exactly a huge entity. His father and libs in general have made it pretty threadbare over the years. Most of his supporters ain’t exactly pro military either. There is no direct threat to anyone in the current protest unlike in the days when his father invoked the War Measures act. At that time there were kidnappings and murder taking place. Interesting times as they say.
The live feed on youtube appears to be down

Trudeau says the act will also allow RCMP to enforce municipal acts.4:40 PM · Feb 14, 2022
he declared an emergency because too many canadians were being inconvenienced; too many canadians’ businesses were being hurt; why did he not invoke the emergency act because of the mask mandate then?
tyrants.
Rather than remove any of the Canadian government restrictions and rules surrounding COVID-19 mandates, media are reporting that at 4:30pm today Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will instead invoke the Emergency Act, formerly the War Powers Act, to take emergency action to quell the ‘Freedom Protests’ taking place in Canada.
This is a rather remarkable development highlighting the severity of the totalitarian mindset behind the governing Liberal party in Canada. The Emergency Act has never before been used.
(CANADA – via CBC) – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told his caucus he will invoke the never-before-used Emergencies Act to give the federal government extra powers to handle anti-vaccine mandate protests, sources say. Those sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly, said the prime minister informed the premiers of his decision this morning.
The Emergencies Act, which replaced the War Measures Act in the 1980s, defines a national emergency as a temporary “urgent and critical situation” that “seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians and is of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it.”
Trudeau is expected to explain his decision during a news conference at 4:30 p.m. ET. CBC News will carry it live.
The act gives special powers to respond to emergency scenarios affecting public welfare (natural disasters, disease outbreaks), public order (civil unrest), international emergencies or war emergencies. It grants cabinet the ability to “take special temporary measures that may not be appropriate in normal times” to cope with an “urgent and critical situation” and the resulting fallout. It is still subject to the protections of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. (read more)
In many ways this is the ultimate display of weakness from a national leader.
Think about it. The majority of Canadians want Justin Trudeau to do two things: (1) meet with the protest groups and come to a resolution for when the COVID mandates will end with a clear exit strategy; and (2) End the mandates.
Instead of doing either of the two things that most Canadian want to see happen, the regime doubles down on crushing the rebellion and maintaining their tenuous grip on the mandates.
Quite remarkable.
Looks like gut check time for the Mounties.
His speech sounds like the Clintons wrote it.
Listening to this pussy... He’s threatening truckers. Typical dictator, he doesn’t want to told what to do by the people. Now, he’s appealing on an emotional level. Doesn’t sound like a man changed with leading.
Sorry Canada, we both have losers at the helm.
Crypto currency is the way around this.
The Punk's message is clear: TRUCKERS, YOU WILL OBEY ME.
The convoy organizers and participants have to had known this was coming. They are now in a position to defeat the Canadian Punk.
We never saw this coming.
