Less than a day after police were able to reopen a major bridge paralyzed for a week by anti-vaccination protesters, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he would activate rarely-used emergency powers in an attempt to end the demonstrations.
paralyzed for a week by anti-vaccination protesters, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Monday he would activate rarely-used emergency powers in an attempt to end the demonstrations. The country’s Emergencies Act gives the government a broad, temporary mandate to ban public assembly and override provincial authority. “It is now clear that there are serious challenges to law-enforcement’s ability to effectively enforce the law,” the prime minister said.
” Trudeau maintained that the emergency actions taken by his administration would be “time-limited” and “reasonable and proportionate.” He said that he would not be deploying the military against people protesting Canada’s COVID-19 restrictions, nor jettisoning the constitutional rights of citizens.
