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.”

So, the state is taking their hard-earned money - just one more reason Americans are armed to the teeth.

The first thing I thought is—Canada will have a huge bank run in the next few days.

How about they just crash those trucks into his house and light them on fire? I mean, what a deserving tyrant!

What is the Canadian Army’s (such as it is) position on all of this? Either the army and/or police remove the regime, or it wins. Trudeau isn’t going to suddenly realize that he’s “the real fascist” and abdicate.

Sounds rather similar to the “emergency proclamations” issued immediately after the Reichstag fire.

BLM riots were coordinated by the Deep State. They were hoping for a full scale race war. That was the plan.

Most rioters were just bit part players, like extras in a movie. Plenty of Ray Epps’ in every city doing the heavy lifting.

Remember when truck driving jobs were opened up to other Commonwealth members?

India could supply Canada with all the truckers they need.

Just gotta bend a few rules, offer provisional licenses, allow wage disparity ...

Because the people being killed by foreign truck drivers won’t be the elites but everyone else.

This, as Rush used to say, is a teachable moment. In Canada, most of the members of Parliament come from the cities of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Ottawa. As such, the vast country skews decidedly toward the urban left characterized by those four cities. Trudeau is in power. He thinks he has his finger on the pulse of the country. In reality, he is ignorant of the concerns of what we would call 'flyover' country. He is, in many ways, a boy in a bubble.

The teachable moment? This would be the U.S. without the Senate and the Electoral College to balance the whims of the large urban areas of this country.

The more "world leaders" like Biden and Trudeau demand these freedom-crushing mandates, the more they show their populations that this whole thing has never been about health, but only about power for the Left.

I think they've already pushed too far.

“I want to be very clear,

the scope of these measures will be time-limited,

Until forever and a day, or the stars fall from the sky,

geographically targeted,

All of Canada and the countries it touches,

as well as reasonable and proportionate to the threats they are meant to address.

Anyone who votes I did not approve of, especially from flyover country, or anything that makes my poll numbers drop,

The emergencies act will be used to strengthen and support law enforcement agencies at all levels across the country.”

At my MY law enforcement officers and all that I deputize.

But all Trudeaux will hear is voices from Ottawa.
