Trudeau defends use of Emergencies Act ahead of key vote in House of Commons | CBC News

"It became clear that local and provincial authorities needed more tools to restore order and keep people safe," he said.

"We have to remain vigilant, and not only in Ottawa but at our ports of entry," he said, referring to a number of blockades at Canada-U.S. border crossings, including Coutts, Alta. and Windsor, Ont.WATCH: NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh speaks ahead of vote on Emergencies ActNDP Leader Jagmeet Singh holds a news conference ahead of the House of Commons vote on the use of the Emergencies Act.

The New Democrats have said they will support the government's use of the act but have urged the Liberals to tread carefully, and are reserving the right to pull support at any time.Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre, who is seeking his party's leadership, accused Prime Minister Trudeau of engineering the crisis for political gain.

“his decision to not only invoke the Emergencies Act (which most minds agree was not necessary to get the job done in Ottawa), but to keep it in force for an undetermined period has shown precisely how inappropriate Trudeau really is for this high office.” Stephen LeDrew

Oooh poor guy. It broke my heart 💔

Looking from the US to me I am looking at the Sov Union residing N. of the border. Declaring national Marshall law (US equiv to emerg powers act) is done during war. It allows the leader dictatorial powers over the country. Hope you enjoy having gov spying on your every move.

Or quickly enough.

Give me a break. This is what he pushed all along.

Defend? It was the right move. Although the whole what took so long still needs to be addressed at all party and police levels.

I think Trudeau did the right thing.

It worked, didn't it?

Never in his life as he thought anything through! Sad day for Canada 🇨🇦

The fact that this Prime Minister and medias are gaslighting the hole Country is unbelievable and sickening.. This is not Canada.

Why are you not live streaming CBC

They jumped at the chance to control Canadians.

The best is when he called the Jewish woman a racist.......this guy just gets better all the time

How can you support his Tyranny and never ask, WHY NO DIPLOMACY? You are ensuring that is happening with the Ukraine but do not use it with your OWN people?

Of course he didn’t take it lightly, he first had to formulate his plan, then enact it, so he can gain more control of Canada. The bought Communist Broadcasting Corp. CBC, never challenges his intentions…..CBC is the most pathetic news service ON the planet.

Heir Trudeau seems very scared.

i just wanted to be like my daddy that's why i did it

Trudeau 👍

No, treason doesn't happen lightly. Considering the threshold wasn't met and the protests are cleared it should speak volumes his government wants to keep the Act invoked.

Thoroughly disgusted with the Conservatives and the NDP bitchin about the Emerg Act, this was a time for all parties to come together. Besides you don’t think the Conservatives wouldn’t have used it if in power, better believe it bucko

The Emerg Act was needed, this protest was not about Covid protocols it was about throwing democracy out the window because certain people (who probably didn’t vote) do not like the government of the day.

Sadly, I do not trust this govt to end the EA as promised. There will always be a crisis- real or manufactured.

trucastro infowars fightclub

But what’s the point anymore

What were the 3 steps before you decided to go with the act? 1 hide. 2 get 'covid' 3 name call...

This guy is very dangerous to Canada

Don’t trust him

CBC owned and paid by Trudeau!

Liar!

His legal dad mr trudeau is prob rolling in his grave over Justin’s actions

But didn’t even attempt to do anything within the existing laws like offer more officers that Ottawa requested.

Haha that commie lover is loving this. 🖕🏼

Mr Trudeau & Liberals do not give up! Canadians re-elected you last Sept 2021 because they saw that you were good Leaders, keeping them safe through an ongoing Pandemic! If they is to be a 'Non-Confident' Vote let it be from Conservatives & BLOC (Conservatives in Quebec)!

Yeah, JustinTrudeau took it without any inclusion of federal and provincial authorities. People aren't blind, some stupid, but most now see your agenda and it's not Canada's best interest that you care about

And yet, I haven't heard a compelling reason he needed to invoke EA to clear the blockades.

Bullshit

But we're glad you made that decision and it worked as it was intended. Bravo!

Fucking Liar.

He did good nobody hurt

Well, there goes our country. Scary shit. Uncertainty will be an every day reality. Feeling and being uncomfortable the new normal. The gov can do whatever they want whenever they want with every aspect of our lives. We are not safe… get used to it.

This is real leadership JustinTrudeau Thank you for protecting Canadians. Severely lacking in the CPC_HQ who only went to protect the anti-health gang.

Yes it was. It was exactly what they wanted. A real leader would have at least attempted some dialogue rather than calling the demonstrators names. TrudeauTyranny TrudeauCorruption TrudeauDictatorshipMustGo

Extreme lawlessness requires extreme measures. The fact that the OPP and RCMP couldn't deal with the situation without risking extremw violence is proof enough Emeegency Measures were needed!!

After 22 days of chaos, and racism from the White Trash Trailer Parc Festival, the reality is he took waaaay too long. Hey how many people of color did you guys see? Asians? Other visible majorities? Hmmm? Anybody? Gimme a break. Now they’re the victims? GTFOH 😂

A coward who is afraid of his own people !! I wonder why We are many they are few

Nonit wasnt bc reporters asked 10 days before in press conference he was planning on it He Said NO...he didnt want to do it, stop thinking hes fake all time

You aren’t actually swallowing that are you?The art of politics is to say all the right things. JustinTrudeau is destroying Canada

I bet those who live in downtown Ottawa wanted it sooner.

MPs to vote tonight on decision to invoke Emergencies ActDesignating no go zones within Canada's capital, ensuring tow trucks were available to remove vehicles from city streets and stopping the flow of money and goods keeping anti-government demonstrators fed and fuelled are all clear ways the Emergencies Act helped end the Ottawa blockades, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said on Sunday ahead of a House of Commons vote on the controversial measure. I have little faith in this. The WEF owns most Canadian politicians. Nice knowin' ya Canada, good job 'liberals'.
