Lawyer breaks down the "Emergency Act"
A couple of choice tidbits:
Never before used. It is the successor of the Canadian War Measures Act which itself was only ever enacted 3 times. WWI, WWII, and The October Crisis (and it was controversial even then).Allows for 'Dragooning'. That is the forced labour (paid), of someone against their wishes. On pain of up to 5 years in prison.
Nothing to see here?
- Sounds like fear mongering to me, isn't the government just using it to deal with truckers shutting down the capitol city? I don't think Justin Trudeauyuekit
- intends to sell you into slavery.yuekit
- The city isn’t ‘shut down’ lolGnash
- This article talks about armed truckers blockading the border. Yup just totally normal wholesome family types.yuekit

- Ottawa isn’t on the border. The Capitol city you referred to isn’t shut downGnash
- And police cleared another border blockade without incident yesterday. Although there may have been some ‘honking’Gnash
- Well what's your take on this, you think the government should just give in to a bunch of antivaxxers and conspiracy theorists?yuekit
- Lol, that’s not my “take”, it’s the truthGnash
- Of course they should clear the fucking blockadesGnash
- But you are wrong with your facts hereGnash
- I don't think I'm wrong that there are quite a few right-wing conspiracy theorists involved, and that they have disrupted life in Ottawa.yuekit
- But I'll be careful not to offend the truckers moving forward Gnash :)yuekit
- Disrupted life, is very different from ‘shutting down the capitol city”Gnash
- And yes, there are a few right-wing nut bars involved, but it’s not the majorityGnash
- For someone to feel strongly enough about not getting vaccinated that they would camp out and blockade streets, it doesn't seem terribly rational.yuekit
- Well it’s not about the truckers now. It’s about all Canadians.monNom
- I post this here not because I know that it will end badly. Just that it is unprecedented and dangerous. Canadians ought to know.monNom
- Just listen to the video that was posted at the beginning of this thread...I made it about three minutes in and they are babbling about how society is beingyuekit
- transformed, the science is against the vaccines, "China is watching us" lol whatever that means.
https://www.youtube.…yuekit - If anything I feel bad for them, it's pretty obvious they have been fed a steady stream of disinformation.yuekit
