Trudeau has invoked the Emergencies Act. This gives him the power to invoke the military but it isn't a given. He has even said that he is not invoking it.
Emergencies Act does NOT equal Martial Law.
BTW, I suspect the only reason he has NOT invoked the military is because they probably won't listen to him.
It’s effective immediately but still needs to go through parliament for confirmation.
parliament vote first, then senate approval. Liberals only have 30% of the house, Cons and NDP have already made statements they don't support it. It's going nowhere.
