Trudeau To Invoke Emergencies Act To Tackle ‘Freedom Convoy’ Protests

Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is planning to invoke the never-before-used Emergencies Act to deal with the Covid demonstrations gripping the country.

According to a report by CBC, Trudeau spoke about invoking the Act to quash the ongoing ‘Freedom Convoy’ protests, during a meeting with his Liberal Party caucus.

RT reports: The premier is expected to address the issue with provincial premiers later in the day.

The legislation provides the government with extra powers to tackle national emergencies, defined as an “urgent and critical situation,” enabling it to “take special temporary measures that may not be appropriate in normal times.” The Act can be invoked when Canada faces a critical situation “of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it,” relating to public welfare and order, as well as to war and international emergencies.

The emergency status takes effect immediately after being declared by the cabinet, though the government still has to get approval from the parliament within seven days. Should either of the legislature’s chambers vote against it, the declaration of emergency will be revoked.

It’s the second time Trudeau has reportedly considered invoking the Emergencies Act during his time in office. Back in 2020, he discussed taking such a step over the Covid-19 pandemic with the provincial premiers, who, however, opposed the move.

Adopted in 1988, the Emergencies Act has not yet been used by Canadian authorities. The Act replaced the 1914 War Measures Act, which was primarily used to expand the government’s powers during wartime. That legislation was used in peacetime only once in 1970, when the father of the current prime minister, then-PM Pierre Trudeau, invoked the Act amid the government’s standoff with Quebec separatists.

    • Agreed, he’s toast. The only thing that remains to be seen is WHO will be arresting him/taking him out of office. I don’t think he will leave of his own volition but I could be wrong.

      • I have no idea how it will happen either, but he can’t continue on. The Canadians have tasted this much victory and are embolden. If Trudope, makes a violent move, it really will be over for him and the entire cabinet. I have a feeling the military personel are turning on him.

        • The military have said they will not support Trudy – this was quite awhile ago, too, at beginning of convoy. There might be a few stragglers but there are now less and less police that support him, the military as a whole will not support him, so who does he have? Everyday there are fewer and fewer who will do his bidding. Convoy is starting here in America soon as per Del Bigtree – will start in L.A. and go to D.C. Fasten your seat belt.

          • Is this where he brings in the UN troops? hmmmm. All hell would break loose if that ever happened.

          • I don’t think he will be in power much longer – see this:
            nwo report dot me – scroll about halfway down to article titled Canadian Freedom Convoy Wins on Mandates for Truckers!
            It has tons of info, lots of updates – he is NOT popular with anyone and it’s just getting worse for him. Let me know if you can find the article, it’s a really good one.

          • there is a news black out on what his going on in Austrailia. they are protesting in the millions I here down there. I can’t find any articles on it though.

          • I just heard that – head over to Aussie Cossack on Yu Tube, he’s always on top of things and is a brilliant, fearless reporter; hence, his name “Cossack”. LOL I’m going there now.

          • P.S. go to Cossack’s videos page, lots of reports there. He’s a huge hero in Australia and for good reason.

        • You may well be right about the military, I wouldn’t be surprised. If they have one ounce of integrity, they will turn on him.

  1. We all know Justin is a wimp. Otherwise he would have rallied all the Snowplows and pushed those dangerous radical truckers right off the road dont’cha know!

    • He’s o ly acting now because convoys of wealthy landowner multi millionaire farmers have joined the truckies And all of the media, including the fake alternative, are pretending rbey know nothing hear nothing see nothing but what msm tells them.

      • I’m starting ti think that Rebel news is also a fake alternative. Why did Rebel news not cover the biggest event in Australian history this last weekend? It was huge i would say there was more than a million people there if not several million, but they are still quiet about it.

        • They’re, all fake The only real truth is out on the streets. And in the end times the whole world shall be deceived. Satan the great deceiver A rebel is biblical terms is an anti Christian aka a Satanist.

        • I’ve been wondering about Rebel News lately too. Do you have a link for the Australia event? I’ve been so focused on Canadian trucker convoy I haven’t paid attention to much else.

  2. Globalists are trying to inoculate as many people as possible so that their great reset aka depopulation 2030 plan work. Hospitals in USA are refusing life-saving Ivermectin. Get Ivermectin therapeutic ivmcures/com (Looks like I can’t post links, replace / with .)

    • You can also get it at any feed store or on Amazon. It’s in paste form for horses etc. but it’s the same thing – in fact it’s probably better than the pharmaceutical one which is made by Big Pharma to duplicate the paste form. They would have had to leave out at least one ingredient to be able to patent it. Paste form for animals is perfectly safe for humans – it’s what was used when ivermectin got Nobel prize for curing malaria.

  3. His eyebrows are manicured perfectly, his hair colours very natural looking, and his clothes are tailored to fit. He’s all image. Candies the sane game plan Never judge a book by its cover. The Liberals are just as big as criminals in disguise as their conoffenders sitting on the other side Secretly organised crime rackets of massive drug dealing and money laundering, and obviously globally, and all sold on the false patriot assumption of pretending its for the good of the deserving. We have to do it to be able to keep our military equipped to defend the poor and homeless. All that sort of crap. Course its all top secret Loose lips sink drug ships.

    • They’re not liberal. Don’t call them liberal. They call themselves ‘liberal’ to give credibility to their authoritarianism.

  4. This is how Canadian authorities react to legitimate protest. The legacy of such authoritarianism will be written into history. What an utter, utter disgrace Trudy is. How the hell normal people don’t see through him I’ve no idea.

  5. “The federal government has not met the threshold necessary to invoke the Emergencies Act. This law creates a high and clear standard for good reason: the Act allows government to bypass ordinary democratic processes. This standard has not been met…

    Emergency legislation should not be
    normalized. It threatens our democracy and our civil liberties.”
    Canadian civil liberties society.
    In other words his invocation isn’t legal
