Mixed Support for Emergency Measures from Premiers – Why so Much Dissent?

Instead of negotiating in good faith with the peacefully protesting citizens of Canada, Castro Junior has declared war on them.

Completely unsurprised he’s on the take.

Support Truckers Fighting Trudeau’s Mandate
UPDATE:
At 4:30 pm, Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canadian history.

As part of the insanely broad powers now granted to the PM, Trudeau’s government has given banks the go-ahead to freeze or suspend the accounts of anyone believed to have financially contributed to the convoy — without a court order.

Indeed, by decree, Canada’s supreme ruler has empowered banks to freeze any and all assets deemed to be supporting freedom protests in Canada.

Moreover, according to Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, banks must now report any person they believe to be working or participating directly with the convoy to the RCMP.

To this end, the government is expanding the Anti-money laundering rules to include crowdfunding platforms, such as GiveSendGo.

“We are broadening the scope of Canada’s anti-money laundering and terrorist financing rules so that they cover Crowd Funding Platforms and the payment service providers they use,” Freeland stated.

Cryptocurrency will also be affected, essentially allowing the government to regulate all trade of the asset.

While the military is not being called in, police forces will be dramatically inflated by the federal government, and the right to peacefully demonstrate in support of the freedom movement is now gone.

Furthermore, the government can now force — yes, force — tow trucks to tow the vehicles of those involved in the convoy, something which several towing companies have refused to do throughout the protest.

Trudeau has not explained when he will return his newly acquired powers.

As reported earlier, the Emergencies Act gives Trudeau nearly unlimited authority to suspend human rights and quell disobedient protesters in the capital region and across the nation.

Previously known as the War Measures Act, the Emergencies Act grants the head of Canada unprecedented powers that should be reserved for a genuine crisis — whether civil war or a food crisis. Put simply, the Act exists as Canada’s last resort to deal with an existential threat to the wellbeing of Canadians, not as a last resort to deal with a threat to an incumbent officials’ power.

As Canada’s state-run media puts it, “The law empowers Ottawa to do just about anything it thinks is necessary to cope with a crisis.”

Specifically, the Act grants the Governor in Council, who’s selected by the Governor-General (presumably the Prime Minister), the ability to personally direct the military and other forces on Canadian soil to enforce several otherwise unconstitutional, illegal measures.

According to Section 8 of the Emergencies Act, if invoked, Trudeau will be able to utilize any of the following regulations he deems fit to deal with freedom lovers:

(a) the regulation or prohibition of travel to, from or within any specified area, where necessary for the protection of the health or safety of individuals;

(b) the evacuation of persons and the removal of personal property from any specified area and the making of arrangements for the adequate care and protection of the persons and property;

(c) the requisition, use or disposition of property;

(d) the authorization of or direction to any person, or any person of a class of persons, to render essential services of a type that that person, or a person of that class, is competent to provide and the provision of reasonable compensation in respect of services so rendered;

(e) the regulation of the distribution and availability of essential goods, services and resources;

(f) the authorization and making of emergency payments;

(h) the assessment of damage to any works or undertakings and the repair, replacement or restoration thereof;

(i) the assessment of damage to the environment and the elimination or alleviation of the damage; and

(j) the imposition

(i) on summary conviction, of a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars or imprisonment not exceeding six months or both that fine and imprisonment, or

(ii) on indictment, of a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars or imprisonment not exceeding five years or both that fine and imprisonment, for contravention of any order or regulation made under this section.

In other words, the Emergencies Act will give Trudeau the authority to jail, evict, and confiscate the property of anyone he views as threatening his regime.

Unsurprisingly, the last time (in fact, the only time) a sitting Prime Minister utilized the War Measures Act during peacetime was under Justin’s father, Pierre Trudeau, during the October Crisis after Quebec separatists kidnapped and killed a politician.

No one has been kidnapped by those participating in the Freedom Convoy. Indeed, there’s no violence to speak of. But that isn’t stopping Dictator-in-Chief Justin Trudeau.

Needs serious lawsuit, arrest and imprisonment. Same tricky election process as USA?

Please allow me to throw this in the mix…

Ecclesiastes 10:2-4
2. A wise man’s heart is at his right hand, But a fool’s heart at his left.
3 Even when a fool walks along the way, He lacks wisdom,
And he shows everyone that he is a fool.
4 If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, Do not leave your post;
For conciliation[c] pacifies great offenses.

We are not finished with this… Hold the line…

HONK HONK….

conciliation means resistance…

Ottawa is a bully and the truckers are literally choking it. Re-opened bridges, seized funds, and emergency powers declarations will not move those trucks. Much of what Trudeau is doing now shows desperation – like the flailing about of someone choking to death. Know this, however: only the truckers decide when this over. As I wrote to Iska on another thread:

… there aren’t enough large towtrucks, or operators, to move all those beached whales. It would be a real mess for those who would dare try. I suspect, this is why the truckers are so confident to just sit and wait; and/or get arrested: Because no one can evacuate a beached whale effectively except those who are willing and able to do so.

Now, it could be the financial threats, impounding of trucks, threats of state-imposed violence, etc, maybe enough for many, or all, the truckers to decide to back off, but, let’s keep a proper perspective of everything they have accomplished, shall we?

– Trudeau ran and hid like a little girl then said he had covid (in spite of his three shots) for all the world to see.

– Other Canadian provinces have dropped mandates

– GoFundMe and the MSM have been completely exposed

– more people around the globe have been awakened to the tyranny we all now face

– And, now, even other Canadian premiers, and various pundits, are criticizing Trudeau.

The Freedom Convoy is just another bend in this Fourth Turning and we have many more twists and turns to go.

In the meantime: Hold your heads high, brave Canucks. And thank you.
