BREAKING: Trudeau Announces Unprecedented Action, Freezing Bank Accounts Of ‘Freedom Convoy’ Protesters
The Daily Wire ^ | February 14th, 2022 | By Tim Pearce

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act on Monday in an effort to crack down on protesters that have shut down parts of Ottawa and various border crossings with the U.S.

Trudeau informed his cabinet and Canada’s premiers of his intent Monday morning. The prime minister’s announcement marks the first time the act, which replaced the War Measures Act in 1988, has been employed.

“After discussing with cabinet and caucus, after consultation with premiers from all provinces and territories, the federal government has invoked the emergencies act to supplement provincial and territorial capacity to address the blockades and occupations,” Trudeau announced in a press conference. “I want to be very clear, the scope of these measures will be time-limited, geographically targeted, as well as reasonable and proportionate to the threats they are meant to address. The emergencies act will be used to strengthen and support law enforcement agencies at all levels across the country.”

I think that turn of a phrase - the end of the Maltese Falcon says “The stuff dreams are made of”

“The stuff regime change is made of” almost sounds like that.

But I think that was all done with a purpose :)

Stealing your money I guess is the modern “civilized” equivalence of stocks and flogging.

A very large chunk of Canada, by which I mean the non-elites, is going to be very displeased with mini-Mussolini's edict.

This is vicious.

What will happen to wives and children who have nothing to do with the protest?

Big test for Canada. How much coercion and silencing of legitimate protests are they willing to accept?

We will soon see what democracy means to the country.

It still needs to be debated/voted by Parliament.

He is bluffing and counting on intimidating the people…

Trudeau kinda sounds french.

We laugh at them french people but they have some spine and always have.

Just cause they don't want to get involved in wars if they do not have to.

They also have a tradition of rejecting tyrants

They have all their names and bank account numbers already?

Sounds like he’s starting the “You will own nothing” part of his NOT Great Reset.
