This is the first time the Emergencies Act has been invoked since it came into force in 1988, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said yesterday it is necessary to protect critical infrastructure such as borders and airports from the blockades, and create time-limited powers that do not already exist.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The government will use the act to force towing companies to remove big rigs and other vehicles that are blocking highways and other critical infrastructure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It will also be used establish zones where public assembly is not allowed, and require banks to suspend or freeze accounts suspected of supporting the blockades<\/strong>, including those belonging to companies whose trucks are part of the convoy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That seizure of assets, by the way? No court order or due process needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What could go wrong? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you imagine what the likes of Trudeau, and the rest of western pseudointelligentsia, would have done if Trump had declared a state of emergency to shut down a legitimate, if obsstreporous, protest? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main organizers behind the truckers\u2019 protest in Ottawa, now in its third week, said members are not going anywhere, and will \u201chold the line\u201d in the face of the act.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This, after weeks of the Canadian media – generally no less incurious and subservient than the US media to government – telling the world the protesters were violent (the only the actual violence was when some counterprotesters rammed a vehicle full of protesters), racist (no photos) and destriuctive (all “vandalism” was easily picked up). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s make sure we’re clear on this: after a year of barbering about the (real, serious) riots on January 6, which had no chance whatsoever <\/em>of affecting the Constitutional process, much less seizing any actual government power, the western Left is applauding a western “progressive” leader usurping banana-republic powers to stifle obstreporous and boisterous speech that could be dealt with by legal, due-process means, had Trudeau the will and the courage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not only the work of a coward, awash in fear over his 16% approval rate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the work of a politician, at the head of a moment, that has no respect for representative democracy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scratch a “progressive”, and they’ll bleed “tyrant”. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
