So in response to a bunch of Canadian truckers parking up in various inconvenient places around the country, Justin Trudeau has called for the enablement of the Emergencies Act. An act usually only used in times of War, or other serious National Emergency.
I don't think a bunch of truckers blocking roads is enough to allow enablement of the Act.
If I were an opposition MP, I would be asking Justin Trudeau some difficult questions:
What reasoning is there for Requesting Enablement of the Emergencies Act?
If the Government cite violence, what proof do the Government have of widespread violent acts?
Request the Government to supply such proof to Parliament.
Ask Trudeau how long the Act will be in Force for. Is it truly time limited, or is this as limited as the Covid-19 measures that have lasted two years?
To be blunt, the opposition in the Canadian Parliament should vote en masse to refuse the enablement of the act. At least they will have clear consciences when the government-sponsored violence against the protesters occurs. Because it will occur unless Trudeau excessive use of government force is checked.
And be under no illusion: closing the bank accounts of supporters, denying them the basics of life itself IS violence. Impounding trucks and removing insurance IS violence. If Trudeau says that words are violence, then these direct acts are even more violent than the nasty words his snowflake mind gets hung up about.
So, to the Trudeau government: What justifies these violent acts against Canadian Citizens?
What crimes have they committed that are so heinous that they have their assets seized by the government? Even murderers and rapists, the worst crimes imaginable don't have their bank accounts seized.
So to Trudeau directly: Is this just petty revenge? Is this just childish lashing out against someone that won't listen to you? Is this like the parent striking a child that is naughty and will not listen?
Because if it is, then you are not a leader. A leader acts like an adult and responsible adults do not strike children.
To ordinary Citizens of Canada, I would ask: Why is the Prime Minister invoking an act that affects the whole of Canada for less than 100 trucks parked in Ottawa? Why is he bringing in a law that affects you to deal with a small protest? Why can't the protest be dealt with locally?
Ordinary Citizens need to be writing to their MPs, rejecting the implementation of the act. Trudeau has for for instigating supposed temporary measures and keeping them in place indefinitely. He has form for brining in supposedly limited, targeted legislation but then broadening the scope of such legislation.
Just look at vaccine mandates: initially for health workers where you could see a legitimate (if unscientifically proven) reason, which was then applied to truckers with absolutely no scientific or immediately obvious reason. There was no outbreak related to truckers that required extra measures. So why did Trudeau's government instigate vaccine mandates for truckers and start all of this?
Do Canadians think that Trudeau won't widen the remit of the act once he has dealt with the truckers? Will he start to go for political opponents? Will he freeze their bank accounts?
