OTTAWA, CANADA (TND) — Sources say Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plans to invoke “martial law” to give the nation’s federal government greater authority to quell anti-vaccine mandate protests taking place across the country.
Anonymous sources who reportedly could not speak on the matter publicly told the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) Trudeau indicated to his caucus Monday morning he will invoke the never-before-used Emergencies Act.

Ottawa-based journalist Keean Bexte said Trudeau will deliver remarks during a press conference with top cabinet officials at 4:30 p.m. local time, and “will likely invoke martial law” at that time.

Just like the Brandon Administration.
Thanks....have it queued up, for later...and, will share.
It’s nice to always keep some humor around!
[as the world turns to crap, martial law in CA, perhaps coming to DC in early March, Ukraine going to pot, the debt over $30T... and things waiting in the wings, like fall of the FED and Taiwan and war in the mid-east]
NCSWIC. Nothing!

Don’t worry, @JustinTrudeau isn’t “calling in the military”. He is just authorizing banks to unilaterally freeze your accounts on the basis of suspicion alone, no court order required, with legal immunity. I hope everyone realizes how much more dangerous this is than the military
Please see my post #92.
(Sorry for any confusion!)
No outrage at all from the media.
You mean the Propaganda Arm of the Left ?
Too bad B.C. is so damn leftist or there could be a clean break with the west. When I went to school there in the 70s there was a smattering of commie posters around elections.
You mean Briben’s handlers told Turdreau what to do.
Briden’s only urges happen when he’s with the Pope, etc.
Thanks for the correct spelling of “border”-I was about to ask the poster if the “boarder” was on his/her premises-sometimes the misspelled/misused words really detract from the intended message...
It’s time for the Governor-General to sack the Prime Minister, prorogue Parliament and call a new election.
“...English speaking Canadians seeking asylum in the US...”
Biden will definitely shut down and guard the northern border...
I think Life of Brian was the only one I missed.
Tamara Lich is making a huge mistake to “hold the line”
This is what Trudeau wants. They need to be more flexible
like what do you propose to be more flexible?
Does Trudeau still have the NDP(Communist Party) ?
It is like he is trying to enflame the situation. Like he wants to create a General Strike or revolt…like he wants to purge his country of a lot of its population.
Boarder does kinda fit.
Baby Castro belongs in Cuba, and should never have been let into Canada. He is a ‘boarder’ in Canada.
Next it will be door to door forced vaccinations
Translation: The Great Canadian Bank Run starts tomorrow.
Then again, makes a general strike that much easier.
Trudeau Goes Nuclear: Invokes Never-Before-Used Emergencies Act to Crush Freedom Convoy
According to the CBC:
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.”
[…]
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.
Trudeau assured Canadians that he is “not using the Emergency Powers Act to deploy the military.”
Asked what it would take for him to bring the military in, he said, “I’m not going to engage in hypotheticals right now. I think that what is most important is that Canadians get their lives back, their neighborhoods back, their communities back. The measures that we put forward today will give the tools to law enforcement to be able to move in even stronger ways against these illegal protests and blockades that are hurting Canadians.”
“We are not limiting the right to peacefully protest or assemble. What we want to do is protect Canadians, protect their jobs, and reinstate confidence in their institutions.”
Deputy PM Christia Freeland explained that the Emergencies Act will be used to cut off financial support to the protesters. “This is about following the money,” she said. “This is about stopping the financing of the illegal blockades.”
“Consider yourself warned. If your truck is being used in these illegal blockades, your corporate accounts will be frozen, the insurance on your vehicle will be suspended. Send your rigs home,” she said, adding that the government’s powers would include cracking down on crowdfunding sites, making them register with the government, and freezing the assets of those involved in helping to fund the protests.
“I know that everyone is tired of this pandemic. We’re hearing your frustration with COVID … and with the temporary measures we had to put forward to keep people safe … you have a right to express that frustration … its something we’ll always defend,” Trudeau said, but “depriving your neighbors of their freedoms is a totally different thing. It has to stop.”
Was thinking the same.
