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.
No, it needs to be voted by Parliament first, THEN approved by the Senate.
Cons and NDP have already made statements saying they're not going along. Liberals only have 30% of the house. Can't pass anything on less than 50%.
It's a desperation play that will go no where other than Trudope getting removed by non confidence vote. They NDP have already used those exact words.
