BREAKING: Trudeau announces and END to the emergency powers he gave himself

by The Right Scoop

Earlier today we reported that Trudeau wouldn’t say when he would end the emergency powers even though the protest is long over.

Well I guess the pressure was too great and he finally announced an end to the emergency powers he gave himself:

Here’s more from the AP:

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Wednesday he is removing emergency powers police can use after authorities ended the border blockades by those opposed to COVID-19 restrictions as well as the occupation of downtown Ottawa.

Trudeau invoked the powers last week and lawmakers affirmed the powers late Monday. Trudeau said then the powers were still needed but noted they would not stay in place a day longer than necessary.

“The situation is no longer an emergency, therefore the federal government will be ending the use of the emergencies act,” Trudeau said. “We are confident that existing laws and bylaws are sufficient to keep people safe.”

The emergencies act allows authorities to declare certain areas as no-go zones. It also allows police to freeze truckers’ personal and corporate bank accounts and compel tow truck companies to haul away vehicles.

The trucker protest grew until it closed a handful of Canada-U.S. border posts and shut down key parts of the capital for more than three weeks. But all border blockades have now ended and the streets around the Canadian Parliament are quiet.

“We were very clear that the use of the emergencies act would be limited in time,” Trudeau said. “We said we would lift it as soon as possible.”

Well I’m glad he finally ended this madness but I doubt it’s because he truly wanted to do so. But at least he did, but it doesn’t erase how he handled this situation from the get go, treating his citizens like terrorists all because they stood up to him and his outlandish vaccine mandates.
