Extraordinary. The Truckers have won. Trudeau has revealed his panic and his inability to lead “for the people”. The Ambassador Bridge is open. The protesters in Ottawa are obeying the law.

Canada’s Emergencies Act used to be called the War Measures Act. It’s not quite War, but, look out, there have been 42 cases of alleged “Mischief”:

As of Monday morning, the police had arrested 42 people and seized 37 vehicles, said Windsor Police. Most of those arrested were released and will return to court later to face a charge of mischief, said police spokeswoman Talya Natyshak.  — Wall St Journal / The Australian

Tucker Carlson — this is a defining moment in the history of Canada.

Justin Trudeau has declared the people dancing in the street in Ottawa are terrorists. Their bank accounts can now be seized, and anyone donating to them can have their accounts taken. The banks don’t need court orders. Truck insurance can be suspended.

Even if this is illegal (and it sure seems to be) this is the Big-State threatening everyone who dares dissent. Even if it is later tested in court, the injustice is here now. Just like the Biden illegal vaccine mandates. Justice takes time, and some crimes can not be undone.

Trudeau is collecting a list of political enemies and all their details, seizing their bank accounts.

…

From far away, we can write to our MP’s and demand that they speak up as voices of democracy. There is no justification for activating the Emergency Act and suspending democracy.

Will someone ask Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese whether they would ever consider this kind of action  in Australia and under what circumstances? Pick your side of history — are you for the people or against them? Do people have the right to protest freely without punishment?

Ezra Levant explains more of the details in his Rebel News report.

Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet is the latest voice to object to the Trudeau government’s use of the Emergencies Act to respond to the ongoing “Freedom Convoy” protests in Ottawa and elsewhere across the nation.

Bloc Québécois, is a political party in Quebec which has 32 seats in the Canadian House of Commons (out of 338 seats).

“Let’s understand clearly that Quebec, Quebec government and us do not want this law to be implemented on the territory of Quebec. It is not legitimate, and it is useless,” he said Monday.

Canadian Civil Liberties Association says this doesn’t meet the threshold to declare an Emergency

@cancivlib

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. 1/3

The Emergencies Act can only be invoked when a situation “seriously threatens the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada” & when the situation “cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada.”

Governments regularly deal with difficult situations, and do so using powers granted to them by democratically elected representatives. Emergency legislation should not be normalized. It threatens our democracy and our civil liberties…

The whole Tucker Carlson show because it *might* be different to the ABC, BBC and CBC.

Think about the problem of how to donate funds in an untraceable way to democratic legal protests.

Can people buy gift voucher cards with cash at grocery stores (while wearing a mask and sunnies to avoid the camera’s)? Are we really down to that? And obviously that won’t work for support from overseas.
