I am convinced that Troodoh and his regime quite intentionally created the opportunity to invoke emergency powers. Their recent steps have guaranteed a very high number of dead-enders among the protestors. When you see single fathers who had their child kidnapped and bank account frozen, what is left for them? There is no partial settlement, no promise, no threat of arrest or rubber bullets, nothing left for that father except force or restoration.
There are a lot of dead-enders in Ottawa. These aren't the hire a mob of onesy-wearing sweeties who talk tough in hordes. These are grown ass men who have no shits left to give.
Most likely, the government will make their move today or tomorrow, because Canada has a 3 day weekend coming up. The protest in Ottawa will likely be historic in proportion, reach critical mass and result in a no-confidence vote for Trudles.
Gov't back against the wall versus dead-enders. Going to be spicy.
Should be interesting, his emergency order still needs to pass through the parliament and the senate. The senate stopped his internet censorship bill, so it's possible this will die in the senate. I believe the vote is Friday.
The emergency order doesnt allow them to arrest peaceful protestors, this is all just sabre rattling. Thats why all the border blocking has stopped because it actually is made illegal by the order, but the peaceful protests are still llegal.
Thats also why the Ottawa police handed out papers that dont actually site any law or include the real order because it would show people their peaceful protests are legal regardless.
No they cant it literally says in the act it has to be leading to a breach of peace. They are extremely peaceful.
I'm not so sure the Senate would rubber stamp this easily, a lot of the senate are from the Harper era and I think the NDP should be feeling the strain from defending Trudeau's actions.
