>The government did not demonstrate that it had reasonable grounds to believe that a threat to national security or a national emergency existed within the meaning of the Act, or that existing laws were unable to resolve the situation.

No shit!

Doesn’t matter. If we’ve learned anything from the last Liberal (Trudeau) administration, it’s that there are no consequences for their actions.

Send Trudeau to court an hold him accountable. Or can our politicians basically do anything and not face a lick of punishment. Wonder why trump is doing what he’s doing. 

Good. There’s no denying that they didn’t NEED this law to take the actions that they did to end this and this is absolutely a law that should ONLY be used as a last resort.

You can argue until you are blue in the face on whither or not the authorities would have CHOSEN to act without EA but you can’t deny that actions they eventually took did NOT need it.

And the EA is only for times when the current law is insufficient not when authorities are hesitant to enforce them.

Its ok to trample on the rights of people you dont like actually it was celebrated here.

Please Note:

**This not a validation of the convoy fools**. This is an indictment of Fords ability to shut it down using ***existing*** laws – and the Federal Gov trying to win PR points using a law it shouldn’t and didn’t need to use to deal with this.

That’s the full picture take away.

Our Province failed us. And we should have been left to deal with the consequences of voting in Ford. But Ford himself whined (instead of using the powers he had). Ontarian’s complained, and the Feds went vote hunting.

I can already read this as some kind of validation of what the convoy were doing. It’s not. You’re not getting oxygen on that, so can it. If Ford had done his job, the convoy would have still been cleared out. Legally. And what were Ford’s exact words on this as he did nothing? *“We’ve heard you, and it’s time to go.”*.

This should be a terrible look on Ford too but we continue the time honoured tradition of our provincial government’s doing nothing and blaming the federal government to deflect their own inaction.

Good. This is the right answer.

Yet most Canadians will never accept that the Convoy was correct.

It’s wild how many still support segregation based upon a medical procedure.

Funny all these things are going through now that Justin is gone.  Time to revisit the 2020 OIC and bill C21.

Remember it wasn’t just whether the Emergencies Act was invoked, it’s that the way it was invoked was extremely vague and overbroad. If I remember right, the government gave itself enforcement powers against not just people involved in the actual protest, but people on their way to any protest where violence *might* happen, and anyone *aiding* such a person. So somebody helping you fix a flat tire while on your way to peacefully observe the protest, was a potential target for bank account seizure.

The Emergencies Act is reserved for the most dire of circumstances. Examples include an invasion by hostile foreign forces, Skynet creating a robot army to enslave humanity, a zombie apocalypse, etc. Some protesters occupying the streets breaking municipal noise bylaws and setting up a sauna or bouncy castle because law enforcement aren’t confident enough is not a good enough reason. Perceived insufficient law enforcement authority is supposed to be addressed by enacting the relevant laws, not by suspending civil liberty.

In South Korea, a rogue (now former) president declared martial law and paid the price with his freedom and potentially, his life (doubt that capital punishment will be his fate, but it goes on to show that a country with a functioning political and judicial system can make leaders that make illegal decisions accountable for their actions).

It’s not a direct parallel between the South Korean declaration of martial law and the Canadian implementation of the Emergencies Act due to the different circumstances, but the insufficient nature of the premises are largely the same. However, no Canadian that made the decision to enact the Emergencies Act will pay any meaningful consequences for doing so. Trudeau sailed off into the sunset with his new pop star girlfriend, Freeland was re-elected and will be taking a cushy job with a foreign government, most of Trudeau’s cabinet ministers were rewarded with a place in Carney’s government, and many of those that voted in favour of implementing said act were re-elected.

This wouldn’t have happed if not for the corrupt Ottawa police chief that refused to act. And Doug Ford should be held accountable as well.
