Emergencies Act 'has been necessary' PM Trudeau says after police crackdown in the capital

Invoking the Emergencies Act has been necessary, but the situation that prompted it is “not something we ever want to see again,” said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau following a weekend of police operations seeing the trucker convoy protests largely dissipate in Ottawa.

Trudeau thanked the law enforcement agencies from across the country who joined the operations and noted that the last few weeks have been difficult, “disturbing,” and stressful for many Canadians. “This situation is not anything anyone wanted and, quite frankly, is not something we ever want to see again,” Trudeau said.

The prime minister said that the country now has a choice to make as a society: To choose to keep “reliving these scenes that tear at the values that bind us as Canadians,” or “choose to remember who we are, and the best version of what Canada can be.”Prime Minister Trudeau delivers remarks in Ottawa on Feb. 21, 2022.

Trudeau used powers and Act that was not necessary and International countries where shocked as only used mostly Communist countries! Loss to Canada trillions to our reputation!

Ty Trudeau for doing the right thing

there was no need for the Emergencies Act, all i can say is the Ottawa Police are a grave failure

Funny how it takes days for this guy to respond...as if he has to wait on someone to advise him.

Everything is classified as an emergency for this guy!

Soon he will be telling us what and where we can spend our money. And these people will love it. Fml

On TruckerConvoy IStandWithTrudeau TruckersGoHome please.Get vaccinated and keep obeying Covid19 mandates.90% of truckers got d message,are vaccinated,working hard to keep our supply chains going. EmergenciesAct was a child of necessity.Kudos to PMJT 4 exceptional leadership

Only thing is, will the PM revoke the act when it’s not needed. Or will he keep in play as a power grab. My guess is a power grab.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇨🇦

Of course HE says that. Get it in writing that the other leaders agree, then we’ll talk.

Unfortunately for him theres more people in Canada then Ottawa’s downtown residence

I guessing this isn’t about the vaccine anymore.

The new base camp for illegal protesters is located on a farm field in Embrun at the intersection of St. Guillame and Route 200, just five kilometres south of Highway 417. Michel Dignard is the property owner and the publicly listed number for his commercial farm is 613-443-2671

Convoy supporters

The government's grab for the protesters' kids which is showing itself now is shocking. I ask everyone to note this development and utterly condemn it. It is wrong to expect a person don't like to be perfect in order to stop you from persecuting them.

B.S.! Necessary to get a new P.M.!

Stop the Vaxxine scam! Lift all Covid-19 restrictions, Stop the Vaxxine Mandatory immediately! Return the freedoms to Canadians! Freedoms, freedoms, freedoms, freedoms,freedoms, freedoms, freedoms, freedoms,freedoms, freedoms, freedoms, freedoms!!!💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
