If Trudeau or a representative for him had spoken to them it would have not escalated at all. Trudeau divides every single Canadian. Also after listening to much of the testimonies not one of the criteria needed to implement the EA has been met. Trudeau is to blame 100%.

My favorite so far is when the government of Canada lawyer is questioning the convoy lawyer. Gov of Canada says the convoy blocked the street infront of parliament and the convoy lawyer says no there was a lane open I was there and able to get through and furthermore I don't think that is your concern because that area has been blocked off by the government to this day 😂

Yeah Rick for sure. It was our government that started the occupation! What a temerity!

[@papwithanhatchet902]

Why? The legislation was enacted in 1988 by Brian Mulroney for purposes exactly such as the Clown Parade occupation of an entire city, never mind our national capitol. The four provisions are: *Public Welfare, Public Order,* war and International Emergencies. You know-nothing clowns are grossly uninformed and low-info rubes.

Here are the two sides of that conversation, as paraphrased by me: opposition: The invocation of the Public Order Emergency clause of the Emergencies Act is subject to the definitions of a ‘public order emergency’ and ‘threats to the security of Canada’ as defined in the Emergencies Act & the Canadian Security Intelligence Act. The Government must satisfy those requirements for invoking the Act to be legal & justified Government: The Governor in Council has the executive power to invoke the Act without satisfying the requirements defined in Emergencies Act or the Canadian Security Intelligence Act. They can invoke the Act any time that: the Governor in Council believes, on reasonable grounds, that a public order emergency exists The decision, either way that it goes, is a huge precedent. It will define, fundamentally, how Canadians are governed
