Justin Trudeau, the prick that keeps pricking, has decided that the risk of him looking impotent is such an astounding threat to the nation that it requires invoking the never-before-used Emergencies Act to end the vaccine mandate protests.
The Emergencies Act gives powers to the federal government:
the ability to “regulate or prohibit public assembly that may reasonably be expected to lead to a breach of the peace, travel, or the use of property” the ability to “designate and secure protected places” the ability to “assume the control, restoration and maintenance of public utilities and services” the ability to “authorize or direct the provision of essential services and the provision of reasonable compensation” the ability to “impose on summary conviction a fine not exceeding $500 or imprisonment not exceeding six months or both, or on indictment, a fine not exceeding $5,000 or imprisonment not exceeding five years, or both, for any breach of an order or regulation” Trudeau has to meet with his provincial cabinet. Then he will release a proclamation.
As soon as Trudeau invokes the Emergencies Act it will go into effect. However, Parliament must receive a motion for the emergency within seven days.
The motion for the emergency must survive the House of Commons and the Senate. If it does not then it will end.
Which of these limited powers is Trudeau invoking first? None of them. He’s using it to track and steal the money of people who dare to disagree with him.
Canada Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Chrystia Freeland has announced the government is broadening the scope of the country’s anti-money laundering monitoring and terrorist financing laws to cover crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use.
“These changes cover all forms of transactions, including digital assets such as crypto currencies,” she announced during a press conference on Monday night.
“The illegal blockades have highlighted the fact that crowdfunding platforms and some of the payment service providers they use are not fully captured under the proceeds of crime and terrorist financing act.
“Our banks and financial institutions are already obligated to report the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada or FINTRAC. As of today, all crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use must register with FINTRAC, and they must report large and suspicious transactions to FINTRAC.”
How quickly government power went from “We’re only taking money from druglords and terrorists” to “We’re tracking all transactions of peaceful protestors.” Imagine if the U.S. government announced it was going to freeze the bank accounts and impound the cars of everyone marching in Selma. That’s what’s going on in Canada.
All over a vaccine mandate that was never enacted into law by Canada’s parliament.
It may be time for all Canadians, not just those involved in the protest, to get their money out of Canada.

Trudeau’s actions are so extreme that both the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the Toronto Star have condemned him over it.
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. #cdnpoli

A few more tweets:
It went from "small fringe minority" to "Holy shit I need absolute power to quell these huge protests" pretty damn quick.

Dark times for Canada.
Darker still if Canada lets Trudeau get away with it.

Where is the Canadian Parliament? Surely they can step in and insist that Trudeau at least meet the requirements of the Emergencies Act. Which seems he is unlikely to do. This should be going before the highest Canadian court immediately.
Trudeau has over half the parliament supporting him on this. It takes a simple majority vote to preserve this and party loyalty is the end-all, be-all in a parliamentary system. As long as party loyalty holds, Trudeau can remain dictator for life in Canada.
I don’t know how much tourism money Canada gets, but they have lost a ton with Trudeaus actions this week. Many of us don’t visit Commie countries. That includes Western tyrannies as well.
