To judge whether the Trudeau government did the right thing in invoking the Emergencies Act last February, or whether it went too far and set a dangerous precedent, you have to start at the beginning. You have to go back to the October Crisis.
After the introduction of the War Measures Act, any public support for the FLQ evaporated, as did the FLQ itself. Normalcy quickly returned. And with normalcy restored, it was time for sober second thought. Since October, a public inquiry headed by Justice Paul Rouleau has been holding public hearings into the decision to respond to last winter’s “freedom convoy” movement with the Emergencies Act. Did the government have valid legal reason to invoke this extraordinary law? Was Canada facing a threat that could be dealt with by “no other law,” as the Emergencies Act stipulates?
Does the G&M condone the kidnapping of the British trade rep and the murder of Quebec MLA Pierre LaPorte? Because the War Measures Act was all the government of the day had to counter the FLQ.
Wrong. Both did what was needed for the safety of Canadians.
Guess what! Foreign funded domestic terrorists were sitting in Ottawa and at key border crossings costing actual Canadians billions of dollars. The EA was necessary. Stop pretending it wasn't. IStandWithTrudeau trudeauwasright
IStandWithTrudeau 👍😉🇨🇦
Your editorial is a great example of blatant bias and why I would never buy your worthless rag. But I will use it for puppy pee paper. Oh ya.
They didn’t go far enough. Should’ve got out the fire hoses.
Uhhh no. Try again. The fascists, led by Harper, keep trying to undermine democracy

No, the Trudeau Government did not go to far in the 1970’s. A group of domestic terrorists named FLQ were trying to annex the province of Quebec. PET invoked the war measures act after FLQ kidnapped James Cross and murdered Pierre Laporte. Watch out.
Its uncanny how similar how both Trudeau’s ran Canada, both used the emergencies act, both caused massive inflation and rising interest rates and both alienated western Canada. Let’s hope Justin takes a walk in the snow very soon.
Nice to see reporting objectively The lies from our PM were exposed at the EA Inquiry. Now how about Trudeau lying under oath? Maybe look into the affidavits from the Brian Peckford case, you'll find the travel mandates were never recommended by 'the experts'.
No, good job Liberals.
Once a commie always a commie
finally something worth reading from G&M
Left-wing authoritarianism hiding behind liberalism.
This article is bullshit, Pierre Trudeau had the approval of the People of Quebec to take down a TERRORIST organization. P.M. Justin Trudeau was justified to use the emergencies act as the police response as well as the Ontario's Provincial government's response was a joke.
Too cowardly to put a name on this piece of crap, I see. Smells like a Rex Murphy guest post.
This is such bullcrap.
Merriam-Webster has chosen “gaslighting” as its Word of the Year for 2022. Excellent choice.
In 2022 the police chose not to do their jobs. Ford, and Kenney were perfectly useless. Trudeau stepped in after everyone else had the opportunity to end the occupations without effect.
Went too far? The flq murdered people and planted bombs in mailboxes. If that wasn't a emergency, what is?
Created by the father abused by the son
Far too far. At least Sr. had real terrorists to deal with.
'So long as there is a power in here which is challenging the elected representative of the people I think that power must be stopped and I think it's only, I repeat, weak-kneed bleeding hearts who are afraid to take these measures.' -- PET, 10/13/1970. Right then, right now.
Way too far is an understatement. But who trusts a pedophile like Trudeau to begin with?
Like comparing a cherry to a potato. Seriously Globe....be better.
More garbage from the Globe.
sunlorrie We didn’t learn the lesson the first time!! This should be a huge wake up call.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.. lose it Hindsight
Please, don't justify how another Trudeau did another power grab. Remember Petro Can, removal of Crow, and the steady loss of federal jobs in the west. We need a western Canada to be treated fair.
Jail.
Same level of corruption
Oh Globe and Mail, do better. Your bias is showing. What’s next? Christmas decorating tips with PierrePoilievre?
This is the most insane thing. Anyone is learning history for the god’s sake
Yawwwnnn, could you like... stop complaining?
Apple doesnt fall far from the tree.
What absolute hogwash.
Rubbish and you know it.
But your slimy paper still lies for him everyday. Your industry should be the next to go under after blackface and his party do
Clickbait I'm not taking.
This time they own the media, the judiciary and the RCMP . Justin learned from daddy.
Trudeau is a nazi, just like Freeland!
Lol. Not far enough.
The article is false equivalency, I wouldn't sign my name to that either. It's a snore that MSM tends to blame the use of the act on PMJT. It required agreement from other stakeholders as well & was received. We'll hear what the good Justice has to say in a few months. Move on.

Every time a right wing editorial tells me why Trudeau is bad I absolutely know I will be voting for him again. The right hating him is all the proof I need to know he is a remarkable leader.
Actually suspending rights like habeas corpus (as opposed to absurd hyperbole about the EA) is kind of a hugely different thing. People were jailed just for being associated with the FLQ. What an insanely stupid comparison.
Nope
Oh no they didn’t, they went just far enough
Tabloid rag says what?
The Globe and Mail..what a joke you Pc party lovers need to go
G&M gets 2 incorrect facts in one headline. Impressive.
CdnMediaFails yet again...
You mean this guy in 1970 …..
I'm so glad I cancelled my subscription a year ago. This is nonsense. BS
No, on both counts
Amazing how the Mop and Pail forgot to mention that the Quebec premier and Mayor of Montreal in 1970 asked Trudeau to invoke the War Measures Act.
What utter trash your paper has fallen to.
'In 1970, a Trudeau government went too far. In 2022, so did another Trudeau government'
Did you even bother talking to Ottawa residents?
Nice. Globe is 2 for 2 in getting it wrong.
Another day, another extremist conservative opinion floating out Liberal overreach to cover up sedition.
LIES.
That is your opinion and yours alone G&M. Some of us think differently. Publishing tripe like this is not good for the country.
Oh wow. A dead politician in a trunk was not far enough, hey? And nooses and trade blockades and threats and all that- not a bridge too far for y’all, either? Absolutely bonkers
A CONservative supporter is upset. Wah Wah Wah.
You’re wrong about both.
It could be argued that Trudeau Sr. waited too long. The October Crisis was not the beginning, but the culmination of a series of bombings, which claimed other victims. As for Trudeau Jr. we'll never know, because those things didn't happen.
The Globb was for financial news at one time. Maybe even Intellectual. Now we have phones and internet. Who the hell would read this tripe for any kind of news is beyond me. Maybe buy the Sun and join forces. Same same.
Of course ge did. Narcissist that is power hungry
During his testimony Trudeau mentioned that they had considered the EA for the Covid pandemic. Despite the fact that the pandemic had a far greater impact on the nation in respect of death, economic cost etc it was not invoked.
sunlorrie 😳 From the G&M?!! Impressive. Truth and facts sans spin.
Do your fcking research G&M
If the Globe and Mail was in charge, Ottawa's streets would still be full of trucks and bouncy castles.
And you wonder why sane and rational Canadians everywhere no longer support you. Shake your head. CDNpoli
You fascist msm are going too far. You like licking conservative boots?
This is getting boring.. all this Conservative propaganda FordFailedOntario FORDmustRESIGN
Yet the east continues to support him. Buy nothing from the east, hire no one from the east. Show them that their votes have consequences.
what were the practical consequences of either 'going too far' incident ?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, etc.
Really? You do know they were planning on staying there forever - right? Just party all night long. Plus there is this pesky little problem of some law enforcement officers leaking details to the conclowns - right? After all....you reported on it. Pick a fkn side.
As my my mom would say…pure claptrap.
💯
Trudeau est un pervers narcissique comme son pere Fidel....😂🤡🌈💩
A poorly stated opinion from the editors with not one argument to back it up. Good lord, the Globe has become a joke.
Nope both were in order.
Entitled arrogance repeated.
Naw.
Shockingly unprofessional and transparently partisan opinion masquerading as journalism from the Globe and Mail. My go-to paper for responsible journalism and unbiased reporting for decades, until articles like this caused me to cancel my subscription years ago. Harper’s rag.
What a load of
Like father like son.
Is your paper competing with the Sun now for which one makes better birdcage liner?
😂
sunlorrie It's in the Trudeau DNA -- take something bad and make it much, MUCH worse.
Utter nonsense. The EA hearings showed quite clearly it was the right move. No do an article on the failure of Doug Ford to…well that’s a large batch of failure isn’t it. Ok narrow it down to his complete failure to do anything during the occupation.
CdnMediaFailed
And aside from 9 months, Trudeau remained PM for another 14 years. Clearly people were ok with the decision.
Trudeau Jr has gone to far the minute he took the position
If you have read the act, the Trudeau government obviously did not meet the “legal” threshold to invoke the EMA suspending the civil rights of 37 million Canadians. All border crossing were cleared under existing police powers and laws. Canadians seem remarkably ignorant of this.
Many saying 1970 wasn't too far. Well it was so great the act was replaced because of how it was used. In 1970 there was an national emergency from a group that was being violent with terrorism and after months government had no choice. But after it was over it was found as 1/2
tracking down the FLQ murderers - the war measures act was required ... I was in Quebec then .... cars stopped ... trunks checked ... where was the editorial board then ?
Unless this was written by tRex Murphy I highly doubt the editorial board members were even walking in 1970 they really don’t have any idea what it was like then
Meanwhile, Conservative governments are about to cause a constitutional crisis by using the Notwithstanding Clause
You are now officially a Tabloid newspaper like News of the World was, like national enquirer.
Wait, I agree with he globe and mail. What am I getting wrong?
GlobeDebate And what did you want him to do? Nothing? Meet with people demanding a coup?
Where are your articles and interviews with PP and Candy about their support to overturn a duly elected gov't. Where are articles on WHO was orchestrating all the blockades etc around Canada... SILENCE
Not credible👎🏽 CdnMediaFails
If you took those two Trudeau them put them in one you would not get useful bag sh?t is what you get
Dear Globe & Mail, Surely you haven't forgotten how Pierre Poilievre condemed the 'illegal' blockades of the railroads in Canada!
Overstating the threat. Refusing to produce the legal advice, or that there was any ,to prove invoking it was legal is a pretty disrespectful way to suspend rights, because the government claims it’s legal.
There’s no comparison! Today’s LPC was exactly right to invoke the Emergency Act! It’s easy to criticize PIerre but I actually supported him because the extent of the danger wasn’t clear enough at the time.
There's your violence...all by police. Trudeaus Canada.
They used non-violent measures to remove an illegal occupation from our capital, of people trying to overthrow the federal government over provincial lockdowns....would you have rather had tanks and bullets?
Castreau
As usual, Globe and Mail trash. So embarrassing.
The difference is that the province of Quebec demanded that PET government invoke the 'War Measures Act' at the insistence of the Robert Bourassa government. I don't recall any premier 'demanding' invocation of the EM Act in this instance. Small but crucial difference.
Wrong. IStandWithTrudeau
Rejected headline: Trudeau went too far by not letting convoy protestors kill him and take over government.
Once again proving you will write any lie to make harper happy.CdnMediaFailed
The majority of Canadians disagree.
TrudeauWasRight PeePeeIsALiar
Who wrote this?
Yeah, nah
Well, that's one opinion which does not coincide with Public opinion. SMH on this Editorial.
I support father and son in their decisions to protect Canadians.
No. No they didn’t. When did this paper become the new Toronto Sun?
Booooo You are wrong !! Will you apologize when results come in
sunlorrie In 1971 Trudeau married Maggie , 30 years his jr . Anything else ?
The has it wrong. The EmergenciesAct is nothing like the WarMeasuresAct. The occupation in Ottawa posed a serious threat to public safety and law and order. We're either a nation of laws or we're not. The feds had to act when no one else would.
sunlorrie Vote him out! LONG overdue
Yes. They are not friends of Canadians.
The G&M, NP, RebelNews have gone too far right. National main stream media foments distrust and disinformation towards the federal government. Feeble minds fall pray and carry out violent acts fomented by the extreme right wing media. Both Trudeau governments stopped extremists
Like step father, like step son.
Shocking you’d actually print this, but really what other alternative did you have seeing as how the inquiry proved once and for all there was NO basis for the liberal govt to invoke the act. None, nada zilch.
Backtracking is . It is not going to work. We will remember...and your day will come.
Give it up. Both times the Trudeau's were right. Its been proven and proven. Time to move on to more current issues.
Do you ever report news anymore or just biased opinion pieces? That's rhetorical.
I was 16 living in Quebec and the War Measures Act was necessary and cheered by many us living in Quebec. Maybe you should ask the residents of Ottawa how they feel about the Emergency’s Act.
No the war measures act put an end to separatist terrorism. It didn't go to far. The EA is a very good piece of legislation.
This transparent anti-liberal bias is why I canceled my subscription to the globe.
Bull!
And the tax payer footed both
In an ideal world, the city and provincial govts would have stepped up and dealt with it but since Ford was more concerned about making PMJT look bad than solving a problem and upsetting his base they forced his hand. The EA could not predict the ineptness they showed.
You're sounding more and more the Toronto Sun...vapid and partisan. Do better.
Like father like son. Dictator 1 and Dictator 2.
bad take
Anything to get the focus away from the complete, absolute negligence of fordnation if DoFo has been and acted as the premier of ON, the EA wouldn’t have been needed at all. And he fought the request to answer questions at the inquiry. Shame on the for its silence
IStandWithTrudeau
I'm sure Pierre Laporte's family will be delighted by this take.
A lot of Chinese government supports in here, presumably.
The two measures are completely different. The EA is not anywhere near the same.
There is only one way to stop this loser.
Lived through both, grateful for both! If you think bombing and kidnapping made Quebecers in Montreal feel safe, I have a bridge to sell you! The interventions for Covid really protected us!
So very desperate for readers that you print such a ridiculously silly and irresponsible statement? Pathetic.
Hard disagree on both counts.
The MSM is still complicit in this abuse of Canadians, no matter how many 'fix-it' pieces they post afterward. The ONLY way MSM will get past what they've done is thru the full process of the Canadian court system. You can't apologize your way out of treason.
Mostly because the cops hate Trudeau.
FascistSore
Lame. Canadians know better.
The October Crisis was handled extremely well, what the hell are you smoking?
This is really good ..
Only way to deal with armed terrorists
The very reason I cancelled the Globe a year ago. Such BS from a newspaper. Might as read the National Enquirer.
Oh please...
I agreed with both actions
Sorry democracy, your time is over. The Globe and Mail has decided it would be best you just bend over and take it. Everybody just give up now. Far right militants rule the show now. Give up..
Another week, another shitty OPINION piece by a once great paper.
What a lot of desperate nonsense
If they went too far then so be it, I am so glad they did. I'd rather not live under far right anarchy and militant rule.
Had it not been his son, you never would have done this lazy, lazy comparison.
Supporting terrorism now are you? Wow.
Tory rag!!
And this is another reason why I'll never pay for the . Vapid, basless thoughts from an editorial board are not a good sign of thoughtful content in the rest of the paper. A fish rots from the head.

Why I no longer read the Globe and Mail.
How did this get past the review panel?
What nonsense, WMA was certainly necessary, violent cults were a danger all over the world. The EA was also necessary as the local police were completely untrained to handle such a large gathering & Ford just sat back & watched, someone had to stand up and sort things out.
😂
RJL85429617 If kidnapping and a death wasn’t warranted, you bet a grassroots born protest with bouncy castles didn’t pass the test. This was a govt setup per the evidence to score political points. It’s backfiring epically. LiberalsMustGo

Why bother with an inquiry for which Justice Rouleau has not yet reached his conclusions? G&M has it covered and has already reached their verdict! 🤦♀️

This is why you are hurting with your circulation sales. Most people in Canada are left-leaning. They are not going to buy a paper that lies for the conservatives.
Garbage article!
🤣 Says the propaganda outlet.
Ok then
Agreed We should have waited til they felt fortified and supported by other parties so they could, like in the US, storm the castle I like JTs plan better
except it didn't and Canadians know this to be true- despite all your fear mongering and scare tactics- all your hyperbole and right wing neo Christo fascist rhetoric- none of this has moved the needle at all in public opinion! useless rag paper!
This article is pure tripe. What else can one expect from the Grope and Flail?
Pierre Elliot Trudeau Rips Off Canada. Petro Canada…
Yeah….no!!!
Globe editors: today let's set some bait.. we need the cicks. Print a total piece of trash aimed at libs and wait for the fallout.
though remember Justin is not a Trudeau he is a Castro
Going too far in terms of socializing society and way too far in terms of fiscal recklessness. Only the brain dead cannot see that
This is a ridiculous editorial, written by people who cannot (or have not?) read the two laws.
You're embarrassing.
Missing from the editorial? A solution to ending the occupation.
Yes, PMJT went too far, the freedumbers have every right to park their trucks in downtown Ottawa, honk their horns forever! or until PMJT resigns and gives up to PEEPEE PeePeeMustGo and harper
Um, horseshit. From the very first sentence, this editorial is utter horseshit.
Global mail. Do better. What a ridiculous headline.
Recycle the Globe and Mail in your bird cage along with The Sun and The National Post.
Wrong on both cases.
Runs in the blood. Let's hope that Canada has finally learned it's lesson from this clan of grifters.
Wow, the G&M actually writing common sense for a change.
Both Trudeaus were absolutely correct 🇨🇦👍
In '95 Premier Mike Harris enacted murderous assault: Dudley George shot dead when OPP riot squad marched on Ipperwash Park as George & other Indigenous protestors occupied the park on First Nations’ land. They were protecting sacred burial grounds.
What a bunch of bullshit….🙄
🐂💩
Wow, it's sad to see a previously good newspaper turn to a rag.
Now do the Sir Charles Tupper government.
No surprise the Grope & Flail takes a position that attempts to undermine the PM. Let’s not forget this is the media org that did wraps for Harper. It’s a load of partisan claptrap as usual.
Hopefully his son never goes in politics 😂🤣
Sweet lord of hot bad takes, the ol' mop & pail
So your American owners said what?
This is bad, even for G&M.
GlobeDebate Was PM's response 'proportionate 2 nature, scope or timing of threat? G&M op-ed says, 'Yes' today & in 1970 Overly simplified response disrespects depth complexity of 32 days of POEC hearings Uncomfortable but healthy process of patient &, in most cases, respectful listening
Trudeau should be in jail
Your logic 👇 The War Measures Act worked to reestablish order but in hindsight PET'S actions went too far? I'm 75 so I remember what the FLQ was doing. I live near Coutts so got to witness AB inaction/support of blockade/convoy here. You're full of 💩!
No The party that has gone too far was the CPC under Harper, where he brought in news sources that would be used to dumb down the citizenry. We will end that nonsense. Starting with bringing Section 13 of the Human Rights Act back.
Here come 'impartial and unbiased' commentators defending Trudeau and team: Leader - good. Emergency Act critics - bad. Must. Defend. Leader
Globe..... did you forget the Trudeau government going to far, when it corralled the entire Canadian media complex to walk, with it in LOCKSTEP. We hold the MEDIA responsible, for it's compliance. You have stepped away from journalism!
If you are PM and you've given people a reasonable time to protest, and they go on to block streets for days on end, are potentially armed, making life miserable for everyone, why can't you just tell the cops to get these jokers off my front lawn? Do you need special powers?
Or, and hear me out here... No.
The Trudeau name has been and forever will be a shit stain in Canadian history.
When cops stop doing their job and 'protesters' are funded by foreign money? Yeah stomp that shit out.
Runs in the family I guess..Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Justin Trudeau is the weakest leader in the world he is an embarrassment, a crook, a racist, misogynist,
Yes and your organization cheered him on the whole way!
So flq kidnapping and the flq attacks with b0mbs in our mailboxes. Wasn't enough terror for the war measures act. What were Molroney cons didn't when they wrote EA And then Mulroney put into law on 88? Weird cons tanked us over a tiny truck tantrum that cost us billion? 😕
AbolishEmergenciesAct
Run’s in the family I guess
In 1970, a national newspaper was respected. In 2022, it went too far.
No, in neither case was the reaction excessive.
Nowadays some 'media' publications don't mind printing crap editorials. Even when they know they are crap.
It's genetic!
Funny, never have heard of the October Crisis being described as overreach before. Are you OK? Bad case of Trudeauphobia?
Globe and Mail has the same editor as The Sun?
What a load of horse 💩
…and I can’t believe he waited so long to take the trash out.
there was no win. they choose the most popular win. cant have small amounts of the population shutting down the country
LOL
TrudeaMustGo
Nah. You just don’t like that a Liberal PM is looking good.
Trudeau is the preeminent example, currently, of authoritarianism combined with personal mediocrity. And that's saying something.
Interesting how Conservatives see this as overstepping. I have no doubt they woukd prefer having the ability to put tbe country into chaos and take over the Govt. Well thats not hiw democracies survive. In both these cases, the means definately justified the ends. 100%.
cdnpoli's goal is to teach Canada to be helpless so that elections can be won by keeping you safe.
People love the Act. They can use force to silence dissenters. It helped Justin Trudeau from being further mocked internationally. After all, why should he be accountable for his choices? I look forward to using the EA act going forward when the right is in. It will be useful.
Do 10-year-olds write for you? Apparently.
I noticed that you didn’t mention the kidnapping & murder of Pierre LaPorte, the terrorist threats against the mayor of Montreal & his family, terrorist training camps set up behind schools. I lived right in the area, the FLQ were domestic terrorists, just like freedumb is now.
The Daily Globe and Mail !!
I agree our Trudeau govt panicked, and went too far. The October Crisis was an entirely different situation. Premier Bourassa asked for federal intervention (a fact often overlooked), w/out all the technology we have today. 🇨🇦🍁cdnpoli cdnhistory
Wrong. As most people would say, unemotionally but logically.
One politician was murdered. Another kidnapped. Threats of more violence. 1970 went too far? Fast-forward 2022...more threats of violence, a city is held hostage, email to Freeland threatening to 'get a bullet to the head' for 'lying about COVID-19.' No, nothing to see here 🤔
No and no.
Can’t wait for part 3.
No
Lol. Let me guess your next story proves that sasquatches are real.
The EA was the right thing to do....democracy and freedom are safe.
In other words, 'The joke's on you, Canada', as I predicted on February 23,
Globe and smear, Dividing Canada once again. Wrong side of history
What is the connection do you think?
Nah, they were both right
EA ended the illegal occupation. Period.
History repeating itself
This is why history needs to be taught everywhere…so it doesn’t repeat itself.
No he didn't. Neither did his dad.
I call bull💩on that. Canadians got to see first hand why the government had to invoke the emergency act. The inquiry allowed us to see just how disorganized the organizers were and just how much danger they put the citizens of Ottawa in.
What is wrong with you?
His father got off lightly, he won’t.
TrudeauMustGoNow
Another right wing rag getting ready to endorse their savior. The Lord PP.
Also both trudos financially crippled Canada. They are a cancer
thinks unless hooligans take over the parliament like they did in USA the gov't action was wrong. Part of the problem we are faced with today is there are many journalists who are police, prosecutor & judge. It is wise if you wait for the judge to pass the verdict.
MopandPail .
You are taking the side of insurrectionists. Speaks volumes.
Here to drink all the liberal tears.
Shouldn’t “THIS IS AN OPINION” be the first line of this tweet? What a joke
Asinine view!
No they did not. In both cases, the governments of the day acted appropriately. Too bad your newspaper is American owned and trying to negatively influence Canadians with biased takes.
Wow global mail with some actual journalism for once
Given what we all saw and what was revealed at the inquiry, how can your paper seriously suggest that?
The G&M just another right wing mouth piece toeing the party line from Post Media bosses.
I'm starting to really hate the Globe & Mail. When the media slants to one side, and neglects to just REPORT, then I'm out!
The Untrue chosen ones own the media. They are following the wrong profits. Love them all. They are learning a lesson. True chosen ones love them and know. Logic says the human race and AI belong in space and we need 7 billion people to conquer it.
For anyone questioning the EA, arrangement for a horn to bellow at your place for the same amount of time, then throw hot coffee at you, to see what it felt like to be held hostage by the tiny truckers could be arranged. Or try empathy for your fellow citizens.
Always said like father like son but it appears the 905 forgot that disastrous time!!

That goes without saying.
Liberals got really worked up when 1 article of their left biased media have a glimpseof commonsense.
Bombs in mailboxes? No they didn't go too far. Nobody thought they went too far.

I do not agree. It needed to be Stopped to save CANADA, as we know it. Free and prosperous.

Their readership has declined. To remain in business they accept money from nefarious interests (the billionaire's club). In accepting money they become compelled to print nonsense (propaganda). They perhaps should be called 'the lapdog press'.
The Ottawa police FAILED. The OPP FAILED. Premier Doug Ford FLED. What were Prime Minister Trudeau's options?
Is that the same armchair you’re quarterbacking from? I guess there’s a difference in opinion about how terrorists should be treated in Canada. Why won’t leaders wait for situations to escalate organically? What are they afraid of? Deaths? More deaths?
Disagree. In 1970, government officials were being kidnapped. In 2022, bloated plutocrats were having a hard time falling asleep after dinner drinks.
The criticism of the EA is coming from people who were not negatively affected by the illegal occupation of the dumb convoy, or those who stand to gain positively from the destructive policies of a conservative government.
Over 200 bombings, 2 kidnaps, a murder but oh yes, gov over reach by all means. Maybe the gov should have met with the FLQ and discussed their concerns, given in to their demands?
Woah, a news rag telling the truth, hard to believe.
September 1990: Prime Minister MULRONEY sends in the army to Oka

Aiming at absolute control, the LPC will stop at nothing even abusing the population and its right to speak up in front of evil policies!
Why do liberals feel the nation was held hostage? Half the country is conservative and supported the convoy and peaceful protest. ✌️. True fascists the liberal party, don't agree with them call them racist, misogynist shut their speech down. Take there guns.

Interesting how many sloganeers continue using the term ‘occupation’ since discovering ‘insurrection’ had a legal definition nowhere near met; where ‘occupation’ has none, is near meaningless, can apply to someone literally just standing around, and sounds scary. Language games.
Liberals are so corrupt, if it does not benefit them personally forget about it
we need to blame Trudeau for everything even when my car slipped on the ice this am, damn him!
Both were required, both worked. Try again.
This is rich, the Globe and Mail reporting how a Trudeau government went too far but during the entire pandemic they supported Trudeau government and painted protestors as dangerous anti-vaxxers. People waking up to the propaganda machine now you think you going to blend in?
*honk honk* “I can do whatever I want!” Ya, that’s not how it works. Majority of Canadians support the appropriate use of the EA. I don’t really care if freedumb twitter agrees, your opinion means very little. Nice job globe and mail, not.
Is this the brave kids that Trudeau testified the protestors were using as 🛡 shield?
Your Conservative masters getting a bit restive are they? Hahaha. Such nonsense. And so out of touch with most Canadians. So good for business.
TrudeauWasRight
'It was up to multiple police forces, several provinces and ultimately the federal government to restore law and order.' There wasn't 'disorder' to start with. The misinforms. Those forces were used against ordinary, unarmed citizens.
We get it. Conservatives are flailing because their best hope at convincing Canadians that the Emergency Act was not needed to stop the illegal occupation of Ottawa and illegal blockades went up in smoke when PM Trudeau testified at the hearing.
Always nice to see The Globe and Mail being in favour of terrorists. cdnmediafailed
Senior Trudeau gave one middle finger to Canadian. Junior gave ten.
According to whom, conservative cultists? Good.
Still confused as to why everyone refers to Patrick Bateman as Justin Trudeau.
I was there in 1970. It was not too far. And since Ottawa and Ontario couldn't/wouldn't do anything in 2022, it was up to the Feds. Thank you for your opinion. The above is mine.
Since when did you guys start doing journalism?
This was the JustinTrudeau gov't going too far - and yet his supporters simply don't care and never have. He is surrounded by yes men&women, rcmpgrcpolice thugs and a pravda-media that won't do their job. The woke-mind-virus mass will still vote for him in 2023.
The Globe and Mail is happy to take pot shots from its comfy Toronto offices; in 1970, I and other Montrealers feared a gang of bigoted terrorists who put bombs in mailboxes, assassinated a politician and kidnapped a foreign diplomat. Screw you, you thug-enabling hypocrites.
I’m shocked China 🇨🇳 didn’t use the emergency act to oppress the protesters instead they listen to them I feel bad calling my country Chinada it’s even worse
To those that say the ends justified the means, try imagining that the Conservatives went outside the law to shut down a protest that you agreed with. The Liberals have set a dangerous precedent. Protest is only allowed in our country if the gov't (and much of the media) agrees.
He went too far a long time ago! He needs to walk off into the night like his step dad did.
Next time don't wait so long
What is it with the Trudeau family and war powers?
Is the Globe finally coming back to journalistic integrity by providing well deserved criticism of the government, instead of cozying up to it 24/7?
False equivalency. Both the Premier of Quebec and Mayor of Quebec City pleaded with PET to invoke the WMA. He didn't do it unilaterally. Justin invoked the EA only after it became apparent the various levels of police couldn't resolve the occupation.
Peace, Order and good government. Well, two out of three ain't bad ...
Disagree. 1970 WAS different. Politicians were kidnapped and died. In '70, they could not have known the depth and breadth of the conspiracy. 2022 was not an emergency by any definition.
Put this asshole to jail
The EA was a over reach by this communist smuck now put him in jail where he belongs
Wow… the hate and vitriol from the has fallen to a new low… the sins of the father are the sins of the son according to these crackpots… the Globe used to be a national newspaper of integrity… now it’s just hate and rage farming… sad, dismal, and shameful.
It’s in their genes.
Huh. Globe and mail supports taking a city hostage.
RosieRocks29 Wow things are bad forBlackface if the elite propaganda rag the Globe is saying this.
Ah, the ol' hiding-behind-the-Editorial-Board tactic. Cool. You would have us the entire Board was born with the ETDIB mutation (Everything Trudeau Does Is Bad) genetic defect. 1970 was a different problem/time/Act. The EA calmly & safely fixed a weeks-long problem in 2 days.
Offs a rent-a-mob invaded my city & held us hostage to undemocratic demands by a gang of thugs (paid in rubles?) aided & abetted by traitors in OPS/OPP/RCMP/CSIS/fordnation & CPC_HQ - for 3wks! Wtf is the point of having an EA if it can't be invoked to end a terrorist attack?!
Hardly! The Federal EA should never have been implemented if the OttawaPolice, ottawacity, OPP_News AND fordnation knew that the City of Ottawa was in Ontario!
Pack it in Globe
You lose credibility with those takes. We all saw what happened. Both times. Nothing else resolved these issues. If you’re ok with lawlessness, go for it, but it’s a bad look. We as a people shouldn’t be. And it says a lot about you.
YES and it is time to take them down!
In one case, terrorists were planting bombs and murdering politicians. In another, some truck drivers were honking and having hot tub parties. False equivalency.
🤣🤣🤣
October 1970, rightly or wrongly, involved hundreds being arbitrarily imprisoned. February 2022 saw a bunch of boomers get evicted by cops with half the force given to homeless encampments or G20 protestors.
And both got a pass under the circumstances.
1970
We get it. The Global Mail hates the Trudeau's. Without the Doritos Canada would be a far different less safe and secure nation. Thank you for the Trudeau's. Canada's first family
'Globe sides with terrorists'
I disagree. It was exactly the right thing to do, perfectly executed, and put back in the box. Conservative legislation that will no doubt be tweaked after the Inquiry's report.
You cannot compare as the legislation is different. Your argument is false from the beginning as you draw a false analogy. Just one more example of how far the Globe and Mail has fallen in journalistic credibility.
You continue to publish rubbish.
He does not seem to me to be a fit person to hold political office
Wrong!!! This Trudeau gave real Canadians their freedom back from the fake trucker righties who were pissed they lost the election. Trump didn’t have the balls to do the same, resulting in Jan 6.
cdnpoli ea poec emergenciesAct
Disagree.
XeuleBot
Even HuffPost warned.
No shit
How can one compare the peaceful Trucker's protest -participated by Canadians from coast to coast irrespective of race or origin protesting against mandates and government overreach- with the October crisis which was definitely a violent uprising which threatened lives and peace.
How is this criminal still PM? I wish the Queen removed this clown before she passed.
His father had a pretty bad government in Cuba too.
Like father like son
Like children they never realize that the EA can be used against them if someone else is in power and is the reason we want accountability. I don't trust government and there is ample history to indicate you should not encourage either side to have that much power.
Now you want to rewrite history
Cultists think the EA was a good idea, look at these replies
I’m grateful for the end of the occupation. The premiers refused to do their jobs, creating a national security risk.
It worked. Really fast. Nice one. End of story.
Glad they invoked the EA for the sanity of the rest of the nation held hostage.
