With few cards left to play after several weeks of disgraceful comments aimed at Canada’s working class and the growing freedom convoys, PM Justin Trudeau has reportedly told his cabinet and provincial leaders that he’ll pursue invoking “The Emergencies Act” to end protests in Ottawa and across the country, according to a new CBC report.
The Emergencies Act, which was updated in 1988 to replace The War Measures Act, gives the Canadian government ‘extraordinary but time limited powers’:
- Contingent upon Parliament approval
- Subject to protections under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
- Can be used for public welfare, public order, international and war emergencies
- Government prohibited from taking control of the police forces
There’s also speculation that Trudeau could use the act to clear Ottawa’s streets and other roadways across the country by ordering any company with the capacity to provide such a service to do so, in exchange for compensation:
Today, I convened another Incident Response Group meeting. We covered further actions the government can take to help end the blockades and occupations. We’ll keep working urgently on this – to protect jobs, public safety, our neighbourhoods, and our economy.

The irony of the current situation in Canada is stark:
Trudeau says the Truckers have no right to shut down the economy and to prevent people from living their day to day lives.
Does not appreciate the irony that his government—for the last two years—has shut down the economy and prevented people from living their day to day lives.— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) February 8, 2022
Trudeau has claimed new powers under the never-before-used Emergencies Act, claiming the Freedom Convoy is an “urgent and critical situation” that “seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians.” This is some pretty tin-pot dictator stuff.

“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will invoke emergency powers in response to protests in Canada’s capital city.”
Billions of people willingly gave up their freedoms during ‘Covid.’ As a result, world leaders will now invoke “emergency powers” any time their power is threatened.
