The House of Commons is scheduled to vote Monday night on the Emergencies Act. We believe that MPs should either vote “No” or, if they vote “Yes,” only do so after imposing strict conditions on the exceptional legal powers the government has given itself.
By the time the government declared the emergency last Monday afternoon, the most significant of the blockades, in Windsor, Ont., had been dispersed. The border blockade in Coutts, Alta., had been raided by police, who seized weapons from a group of alleged radicals, and the other protestors announced they were going home – also before the state of emergency. A Surrey, B.C.
Last week, there were arguments both for and against the Emergencies Act. But changed circumstances – the basic facts on the ground – have greatly strengthened the arguments against, to the point where they are overwhelming. First limit: time. When it activated the legislation, the Trudeau government said it was doing so for 30 days and that it hoped to end the emergency sooner, if possible. It’s possible. Why not cut the period in half, meaning the emergency would end a week from now?
The government has also given itself the authority to order financial institutions to freeze bank accounts, credit cards and investment accounts, on the say-so of the minister of finance, without so much as a court order.
NOPE!!!!!
False emergency……illegal act !
They can’t say me it till they remove all the people
Of course it is Globe it may put some of your most ardent subscribers ( owners?)
Right wing disgrace to what the GlobeandMail once was says what?
It's time for the Globe and Mail to put out some more rightwing jibber jabber.
Only when every last convoy member is dealt with TrudeauWasRight IStandWithTrudeau
CoupTruxKlan still making downtown Winnipeg unlivable – Premier UnElect HStefansonMB doing zero about it. The EmergenciesAct could help if only our figurehead would do her job.
It’s time for Canadians to dump the the globe and mail.
When the state of emergency is over
Not yet. Organizers still organizing. You realize this occupation was about destabilizing the Canadian govt? Not about vaccines.
At last the 'free' press says and does something decent!
Stay in your lane.
It's time for terrorist trucker convoys to stop harassing the cities
BJdichter Oh man, Canadian Dollar to zero by summer. Can't serve 2 masters Globe and Mail.
NDP are ok with black police chief being fired for TRUDEAU not providing additional police help. NDP are voting TRUDEAUS Actions were Competent. Only Emergency Act Powers is to make PROTEST ILLEGAL AND CEASE BANK ACCOUNTS WITHOUT DO PROCESSES. NDP ARE VOTING TRUDEAU POWERS.
No! Soon I hope but not now yet! They are still in the region nearby and in others prov they still causing problems with borders
Did give money to the truckers?
No.
Trudeau dictatorship
It's still necessary to hold those who funded this mess accountable or this will just happen again. There is already news of a new variant that is as transmissible as omicron and as deadly as Delta emerging, additional lock downs *will* be needed.
Your paper is not fit for the bottom of a bird cage, it's time for right wing media like yours to face the fact that you are misinforming the public. End your nonsense.
We need to find out which outside interests funded this in order to prevent the foreign funded attempts to overthrow a govt.
Nope. They are still in Ontario and will come back.
I’m sick and tired of writers “personal opinions” getting presented as factual. It just spreads hate and division as they can say whatever the heck they want,apparently without anyone fact checking their “opinions.” cdnmedia CdnMediaFailed
Once the truckers have been properly dealt with sure.
🇨🇦🤔 Last I CHECKED reporters weren't exactly privy to National Security threats... Its up to the RCMP & others to determine that--NO Easy to say when you are sitting behind a computer screen.
No I like the state of emergency, it hits the extremists where it will hurt the most... in the wallet...
It expires in 30 days. I’m good with the current clock.
Wrong 😑
Doesn’t the government still need the authority to freeze their assets?
Trudeau must be arrested. Civil War is about to start . The left will lose very badly
Listen to what the RCMP and CSIS say, if they still need it to chase the root of this mess, then let it be.
Did anyone see the crowd sourcing by Berniers people for antivaxers this am. We need to keep the state of emergency.
So the insurgents can come back next weekend?
Nope got some work to do yet.
Why Globe, the fun just started. The Police was invited to the dance three weeks later. Insurrections are so much when otherside is sleeping on the job.
The alt-right loving Cons are very protective of the rights of those who broke the law all in the name of partisan politics. Their interactions with this mob should be looked into as well.
fordnation needs to it Ontario's first? Wait a minute, the opp didn't do anything when fordnation unilaterally did the same!
No I think its a great thing is a way to catch people who utilizes money to fund illeagal acts and 2 removes people from using the platform under the disguise of stating there protesting something ligitamitely but rather are promoting hate, and everything it represents.
'Park-in' is a devastating mockery of the federal Liberal's invocation of the Emergencies Act.
Brezhnev/ Kosygin were in power in Moscow in September 1972 when Canada and Paul Henderson went there down 3-1 in the Summit Series and took the series 4-3 Fifty years later, Canadians are as sturdy as ever but the insular Power Class have moved past slapshots to intertextuality
I trust my Prime Minister to make the decision when it is safe to do so as per the advice of the police units and others in the know. Certainly not the right leaning G&M. The occupiers have regrouped at three different locations each about 30 minutes away. It may not be over
not for Globe to decide
No, it isn't! The authorities must get to the root of who is behind this attempt to overturn our government and how they are financed?
Leave it to the professionals/police. There is still chatter on the internet from the protest and demonstrations elsewhere. I get it, conservatives want the spectacle to go away, like Jan 6th.
JAH_Word Too much, too late
Great next let go after the First Nations people for blocking pipe lines.
Canadians are more concerned about Protester Overreach.
Nope
Globeandmail you used to be the voice of reason in politics , you have gone off the rails lately
It expires 30 days after implementation unless parliament votes it to stay in place
They won’t liberals love the power. This is the power they want because a minority government is too unstable for them. Stand up Canada
The PM will end the state of emergency when authorities tell him it's safe to do so, and I'd wager not a moment before. So, how about not stirring the pot. Why not have all the facts before having an opinion?🇨🇦
The Gestapo thugs
Perhaps a real journalist should write your stories. Maybe one that does some research? Most Canadians don’t feel this way. Get your facts straight.
What a one sided story-don’t you see the protesters still amassing;the level of aggression rising;the influx of US monies and influence?What about the CPC support for seditious conspiracy?I welcome the time limited EA act and the inquiry which will expose how invested the CPC are
How did you manage to publish this turd of an opinion piece without a byline. Did Ezra write this nonsense? Do better GM.
Right wing rag. CPC_HQ financed the terrorists First take out Ford and then the rest I regret that I have but one retweet to give. NeverVoteConservative VoteFordOut2022 VoteFordOut DoneWithDoug
THREE WEEK CRIMINAL OCCUPATION of TRUMPETs & Weixt separatist mob of criminals 'THIS IS NOT A PROTEST'
It will end after 30 days! Don’t you ever listen to the news? Every protester has to account for their actions before it should end. There’s no real rush, is there?
Be careful what you wished for ‘some’ Canadians. We are in a Police State & if Trudeau has his way, it will Remain. Welcome to his ‘new & improved China’ ~ whoops Chanada.
Good. Now the provinces know what to do
Not so fast the buck a beer crowd who could make it last weekend want their chance to party
no it's not. The new base camp 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
Not now.
So all the guys at Herb's Ram Ranch Motel come back?
...and what about the PUBLIC Inquiry mandated through the EMA. Don't tell that now the trucks are gone - we can just move on - please - spare me!
Call a state of emergency because people disagree with you, 😷 not because native people are living without clean water. People are tired of living in the shadow of his enormous ego.
DoombergT South Park is going to have a field day with this!
I'm relieved to know that the main Street Media is turning on him
DoombergT You are counting on the NDP and the Bloc? 😅😅😅

A much better editorial that what we have seen in the past
It’s time for Canada to get a grip. The same tools who were backing BLM terrorizing our streets and crying that police should be defunded are now anti-peaceful protest!!!!
Isn’t great when they can pass a law, invoke it and then during the time it takes for a room full ( ~500 ppl) to debate its needs/purpose etc… it worked so well that they don’t need it anymore. End of debate! It’s so nice for someone to have the spine to make that happen.
They either need to end it or articulate a proper explanation as to why it still needs to be in place. The argument that it was needed to organize the police after the OPS debacle is plausible (though unclear), but patience for it now will wear out rapidly.
Want better? Demand better! Start with this: Living wages pegged to productivity, dignity at work and the possibility of social mobility, or gtfo poverty exploiters! Mass mobilization, general strikes and direct action! No war but class war! You want a future? Deserve it.
Uncalled for abuse of power. Our government are sniveling con artists. The money stolen from the lower class and transferred upwards during covid was the biggest theft in history.
Well, as a Canadian I’m still terrified of these thugs and terrorists in Ottawa. Without the state of emergency how can we be sure they won’t just congregate again with an ever larger group of ruffians?
I think that would be too soon.
