TORONTO (AP) — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday emergency powers are still needed despite police ending border blockades and the occupation of the nation’s capital by truckers and others angry over Canada’s COVID-19 restrictions.
“The situation is still fragile, the state of emergency is still there,” Trudeau said.
Lawmakers in Parliament will vote Monday night whether to allow police to continue to use emergency powers. Opposition New Democratic Party leader Jagmeet Singh said his party will support it, ensuring Trudeau should have enough votes.
Trudeau noted there are some truckers that are just outside Ottawa that may be planning further blockades and his public safety minister noted there was an effort to block a border crossing in British Columbia on the weekend.
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 compels tow truck companies to tow away vehicles.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said those who had their bank accounts frozen were “influencers in the illegal protest in Ottawa, and owners and/or drivers of vehicles who did not want to leave the area.”
Reminds me of Illinois Governor J. Big Prickster. From what i've been hearing, that poor dope is trying to keep in place the emergency powers he's been abusing since COVID started.What a crazy farce! The trucker blockades have been ended, through the aggressive use of police to round up the truckers, seize their vehicles, and even their bank accounts.
There are no more blockades in Canada -- they're gone. Ohhh, but Dictator Trudeau has decided the Emergency (martial law) still needs to continue!
He hasn't really explained why -- although he's (predictably) saying that it's to prevent any future blockades!
He's going Minority Report here! Department of Pre-Crime! Your rights are being revoked because of unspecified concerns you might do something bad in the future! (With your bouncy castles!)
What a crooked little prince this guy is.

Justine got a taste of tyranny and he likes it!Oh wait - I'm willing to bet that sooner or later Canada's martial law dictatorship will be justified by citing the danger of -- wait for it -- Vladimir Putin.
You heard it here first.
It will be something about how some trucker once transported a shipment of Russian salad dressing instead of maple syrup.
Well, I now know why some people have commented on his resemblance to Fidel Castro.What a crooked little prince this guy is.

How very Gestapo. "May we see your papers? Do you have a permit to be here?"The trucker blockades may be gone but as of this afternoon police blockades have the city still shut down. Cars must show ID and pedestrians have to have some reason for being in the area or prove they live within the red area.
Yeah, we hear a lot of bullshit here first. Pretty sure your chicken little hysterics predict nothing accurately.Oh wait - I'm willing to bet that sooner or later Canada's martial law dictatorship will be justified by citing the danger of -- wait for it -- Vladimir Putin.

[1] It isn't "martial law" since there is absolutely no provision for "martial law" in Canadian law.What a crazy farce! The trucker blockades have been ended, through the aggressive use of police to round up the truckers, seize their vehicles, and even their bank accounts.

Ain't fantasy wunnerful?I'm just imagining what Biden must have said to Justin:
Sleezy Joe: Get those goddamn truckers rounded up right now! If this spreads across the border, then it's going to create big problems for me!
Idiot Trudeau: Y-y-yes sir!
Sleezy Joe: Don't worry, we'll back you up 100% -- just do whatever it takes, and we'll do our part to keep any heat off you
Idiot Trudeau: Th-thank you, sir!
Sleezy Joe: You can keep the country locked down until I've sewn up the November elections. I don't want any wild cards in the way.
Idiot Trudeau: Wh-whatever you say, sir!
Idiots like Trudeau and Biden are living proof of exactly why citizens shouldn't trust politicians or government in general.
And then they wonder why people mistrust big govt -- good grief!
This isn't new or uncommon though in other situations. In fact, whenever there is a natural disaster, such as a hurricane, a lot of times they will shut down an area to only allow those who live within that area in.The trucker blockades may be gone but as of this afternoon police blockades have the city still shut down. Cars must show ID and pedestrians have to have some reason for being in the area or prove they live within the red area.

From grades 6 to 12, Mr. Singh attended Detroit Country Day School in Beverly Hills, Michigan. After graduating with an American High School Diploma, he overcame that handicap and earned a B.Sc. in biology from the University of Western Ontario in 2001. Following that he attended Osgoode Hall Law School and earned a Bachelor of Laws degree, becoming a practicing lawyer in 2006.In addition to Justin Trudeau's ruling Liberal Party, Canada has a main opposition Conservative Party, and then it has another farther-left party called the New Democratic Party (NDP) led by a radical leftist named Jagmeet Singh. This shallow mental lightweight
As for "race baiting" you are ... well, I don't want to get the mods mad at me.has decided to support Trudeau's continuation of Emergency martial law powers, because he's afraid that if the vote doesn't pass then govt will fall. He's an idiot who loves to race-bait as much as Kamala Harris does.
Jagmeet Singh is an idiot and an ethnic token, just like Kamala Harris is. The New Democratic Party which elected him their leader is Canada's perpetually 3rd-place party, and they selected him as part of their strategy of switching over from representing the working class to instead representing ethnic special interests. The entire Western Left are undergoing this trend -- whereas they once represented blue collar working people, they've now thrown those people under a bus, instead choosing to leave those people behind in order to chase ethnic representation and other identity politics, in whom they see a better future. Blue collar working class people are now derided as backward uncivilized retrograde semi-literate deplorables.From grades 6 to 12, Mr. Singh attended Detroit Country Day School in Beverly Hills, Michigan.

I can only repeat what I said earlier about getting the mods mad at me.Jagmeet Singh is an idiot and an ethnic token, just like Kamala Harris is.

Who is that Republican "Anti-vaxxer"?
I can only repeat what I said earlier about getting the mods mad at me.
BTW, in 2011, the NDP had the SECOND largest number of seats in the Canadian House of Commons and was "The Official Opposition". Not only that but the NDP has formed the provincial government in six provinces (Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia) plus the Yukon Territory. Your "perpetually 3rd-place party" shows exactly how much you know about Canadian politics.
I do have to admit that your unnamed person (or unknown qualifications [and who wears clothing that can only be read if you look in a mirror]) and who represents "Everything's just ducky in Alberta" (with its 175 "subscribers") does read what someone has written out for her to say on her own self-produced video quite well.
