It was used in World War 1, World War 2, and the FLQ crisis in Quebec.
"never before used" is a gross exaggeration.
Or an expression of ignorance - or a downright attempt at deception. There is time to withdraw it.
There was definitely intimidation. Also part of the definition.
The MAGA crowed in America completely lost. MAGA crowed call Democratically elected PM ( Trudeau) a dictator while they praise Putin.
You can’t have logical discussion with them anymore.
Democratically elected government is tyrannical!
I am speechless.
A little insight to discussion in parliamentNPR is always truthful:
Canada legislators back Trudeau on emergency powers
Adolf Hitler was democratically appointed.
And never again bothered about an election. It is a silly analogy. Trudeau is up for re-election shortly. I do not think you are expecting him to invoke emergency powers to delay or abandon general elections, because that would be silly.
However, First prize for invoking Godwin's Law.
In three years and not with the drama of American elections, usually over with in Canada in a few weeks from start to finish. That is unless the NDP reneges when they see htey are losing support with the common folks they claim to represent and join the Conservatives in a vote of no confidence in the reigning party. Only then could the government fall shortly.Trudeau is up for re-election shortly.
They come in all shapes and sizes.Democratically elected government is tyrannical!
I am speechless.
I can't place you on ignore, but I might stop responding. Maybe, not sure if I have that level of self control.Lol. Okay, if you want to change what words mean, then I can’t stop you.
That’s entirely your choice.I can't place you on ignore, but I might stop responding. Maybe, not sure if I have that level of self control.
That's pretty funny.Not my sign, but “seen elsewhere” and the guy holding it explained that he was a satirist.
BLM and this movement have a lot in common. A lot of elements jumped on the bandwagon and caused a lot of chaos in both cases. New Black Panther Party in the case of BLM, and Facists waving a Nazi flag calling for the dissolving of the Canadian Government in the case of the Truckers.Fits BLM actions far more than it does working class truckers.
Same law, different name.Those events happened before the Emergency Powers Act was created in 1988:
"The never-before-used Emergencies Act, passed in 1988, gives the government added powers in times of national crisis. These expire after 30 days unless renewed.
It has been used over the past week to impose bans on public assembly in some areas of Ottawa, and to prohibit travel to protest zones, including by foreign nationals, among other measures. It also gives authorities the ability to freeze bank accounts."
