Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggested on Monday that while protests surrounding Parliament Hill in Ottawa have mostly dispersed and the horns are no longer sounding, the work to heal the pandemic divisions in the country that the convoy exposed must now begin.
He made the comments ahead of a vote by MPs on the invocation of the Emergencies Act, which would be revoked if that vote fails.
Trudeau that the Emergencies Act would not be revoked yet as the “state of emergency is not over.” There are concerns over the coming days, he said Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino added that the government has seen reports of “potential activity” in the Ottawa area and needs to remain “vigilant” to further potential blockades. The act will lift 30 days after it was invoked, so about mid-March, unless another vote is taken to extend it.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said Monday that people need to be “very, very careful” to get the “facts exactly right” regarding the Emergencies Act. She spoke about two Conservative MPs who claim constituents donated small amounts to the so-called “Freedom Convoy” and had their accounts frozen. She countered that at no time, did the RCMP provide a list of donors to Financial Institutions. She said that, according to the RCMP, the police force did provide names of organizers and leaders of the protests and of people whose trucks were “part of occupations and blockades” to financial institutions. She added the measures only applied as of Feb. 15.
The vote on the act is expected to pass when MPs vote at approximately 8 p.m. ET, with the NDP voicing its support for the act. The Conservatives and Bloc Québecois have said they would vote against the motion. If the motion fails, however, the act and all powers stemming from it would be torn up. If it passes, they will remain in place until mid-March at the latest.

Woweeeeeee….you no longer have freedom Canadians. Many will Leave the big banks and Canada.
The FLQ and the October Crisis: The only time in non-war time that the State of Emergency was inacted. This was in 1970 and was asked by the Premier of Quebec and the Mayor of Montreal. Read about is and see if "Our Esteemed Prime Minister" had any reason to unilaterally inact the measure. Even when the FLQ had detonated (200) bombs, the measure was taken up in parliament and all three opposition parties, including the Parti Québécois, rise in the National Assembly and agree with the decision.
No NATO and No Nazi on Russian Borders. That's will stop War! God bless true democracy and freedom!
No any media from western tv didn't show how many russian people got killed by nationalist since 2014 all Western countries they were watching how they are killing Russians.
Ukraine needs to get rid of the nationalist Nazi's from Germany support again.This is not Iraq or Afghanistan. You NATO, EU and US governments supplying Racism, Discrimination, Nationalism, Extremism against Russia.They are dealing with a nuclear nation and pushing to World War III
We have been facing the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression and the Second World War.
Perhaps our Government should consider appointing a new Finance Minister. Someone who has the experience, knowledge and capability to restore order to our financial system.
With strong leadership in place our country would never have been exposed to a second depression or facing WW3.
– proper management of the federal finances
– analysis and planning for the future of our country
– maintain and secure our country
– managing federal and international debt
– ensure equality for all Canadians
– full disclosure and clarity from our government
TRUCK FRUDEAU……. must heal by gaining the power back from these two faced lying pieces of country and freedom thief’s!!!! NOT TO MENTION FRUAD TOWARDS TAX PAYERS MONEY!!!!
🖕 Canada main stream media!!
Start calling him Justin Castro.
Get rid of this clown
W⚓
We will remember you : (
The blockades were opened before the act was invoked. You are a Dictator and a very slimy one.
Why do all these politicians have to have their minions standing behind them?
This very stupid PM should never be allowed to speak on behalf of Canada or in any forum. His discrimination, disrespect, disregard for real Canadians and this means all Canadians what ever their independent beliefs. He should be shunned and avoided. He should be charged for the crimes committed against Canadians.
Better get ready radical lunatic! It's looking like majority of Canadians will have Pierre remove you from office! And then, he'll hold you accountable for your crimes!! 🖕
These two speak and behave in a way like they're the parents who know better and the rest of us are just naive children In the woods who would be lost without them. An absolute insult to people's intelligence and also quite pathetic.
Thanks the prime minister for most beautiful worlds, running a country as large as Canada is definitely hard task, however the province of BC remains depressed and corrupt province in Canada and need tons of help, professional help as well as financial help, some cities relying on other cities for crucial services and there more promises, acting and talking than action, the most horrible horrible cancers in Canada remain, divided people, drugs addiction, alcohol addiction, poverty and corruption, on top of Covid-19 crisis, hope people of Canada wake up.
Justin Trudeau you got to go
Horrible DEMON SEED
Horrible DEMON SEED
Once the pandemic is over they're going to switch Chrystia Freeland's covid mask for the one used by Hannibal Lechter.

As a tax payer in Canada who is impacted due to the traffic jam they are causing in downtown Ottawa I am being directly impacted. These protesters are using hooligan tactics that directly impact the rights of other Canadians who need to use the roads to get to work on time causing unnecessary traffic. I pay my taxes just as they do so they have no right to impinge on my right to the roads and streets to get to work. They are also causing a public nuisance making a lot of noise for days on end. Yes I agree these people should be arrested and charged and pay a hefty fine.
I have experienced this trucker first hand. They are like a mob without regard for others rights.

Pm sir president Trudeau GOOD sir
Now, the truth came out! invoking EA was government's overreach! The police departments from both RCMP and Ottawa Police Department declined that they asked for the EA! Mendecino and Freeland, both needs to resign!!! Such a sickening and disgraceful dictators ruled by non other than JT! They need to be facing consequences for misleading Canadians and freezing bank accounts of the truckers (which i don't agree with their points to begin with) by using an historic act that can now be used by any gov't just as long as they wanted to! It's a shame! Now I have switched my views! Give Canada back it's freedom! If they can invoke EA with no justifications, then what more have they've done since Covid? I hate politicians! Blah!
CRIMINALS!! Arrest all these lying traitors!! NO TRUST by this abusive corrupt Gov!
