Canada's Parliament Approves Trudeau's Emergency Powers

The parliament has approved Trudeau using the emergency Act.


However the Canadian ACLU is taking Trudeau to court.


It will be interesting to see how this all works out.
Supreme Court will rule in the Govts favour
 
The CCLA isn't the only one suing.

Canada's premier of the province of Alberta, Jason Kenney, filed suit against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the nation's federal government, citing the nature of the Emergencies Act as...​

Let's hope this is fast tracked through the Canadian courts.
I can anticipate the Canadian reaction you'll get about mentioning a leader of Alberta!
 
A competent Chancellor Palpatine Trudeau is not, but how democracies perish is an old story. First powers are amended temporarily to the executive, followed by emergency powers to become permanent to safeguard the homeland against potential "terrorism". Soon the alarmism propels expansion beyond normal policing powers, into the very core of the financial system, the assets of those who might protest seized and monitored.

The next step will be when the leader of the party and state, and compliant judicial system become "one", and the failing opposition finds itself under a series of increasingly punishing and limiting "decrees" as enemies of the nation. Having gained unprecedented control over the legislature and courts, the government then becomes a "guardian" and its electoral apparatus corrupted by fear and court compliance with "decrees" by a centralized authority.

Canada took a giant step down that road.
You could have at least been creative with this screed and used the words Emperor Palpoutine Trudeau

No reaction. He's not particularly polarizing. He is experienced, competent and has contributed much to the Conservative Party provincially and federally. Some of his policy enactments have received international recognition for their advancement of social issues.
 
Wow, Ive always thought of Canada as this sort of country where people just live and let live, a land of tolerance and the always welcoming Canadian sense of humor and general acceptance.

Now it starting to feel like Russia, but with maple syrup instead of vodka.



I bet you did read all of that just yesterday...
You should try maple syrup bourbon.
