Here is a link to the order in council filed by Trudeau
Whereas the Governor in Council believes, on reasonable grounds, that a public order emergency exists and necessitates the taking of special temporary measures for dealing with the emergency;
Have a look, put whatever stands out to you in the comments.
WUDRICK: Trudeau uses the nuclear option — without justification
Quebec scrapping vaccine passport system.
Suddenly, Ontario Premier Doug Ford is “done” with it.
Meanwhile: Federal “Conservatives” with leadership aspirations blather about housing and are so very, very butch about mandates two years into this thing, and now that the truckers have done the heavy lifting. Stunning and brave!
If any Canadian “Conservatives” MPs or MPPs have denounced dictator Prime Minister Justin Poutine’s invoking of the Emergencies Act let me know-and I mean really denounced. Not a qualified “well, it’s really not nice and most truckers are peaceful BUT some of those nasty truckers are very mean and bad” kind of thing.
Gonna do some freedoming, people.
The honking will continue until the freedom has improved.

Inky Mark- I remember at 3rd reading of the new emergency act, think 3 mp’s voted against its passing, I being one, this act copied the American emergency act, gives one man dictator powers, police can arrest anyone anytime, without cause, throw them in jail indefinitely, no access to lawyers.
Toronto Star Editorial Board: Invoking the Emergencies Act is a shocking admission of failure
Perhaps the hope is that this dramatic move will stiffen the spine of police and finally make them enforce the law. The Trudeau government should certainly should hope so, because it now truly owns this crisis.
In Ottawa, a new day dawns: City Hall is closed. Libraries are closed. The largest mall in the city is closed. Dozens of independent businesses are closed. But fear not: police services board is meeting again this morning
Ivison: There is widespread recognition, even in the Liberal party, that the prime minister is finally reaping what he sowed during the last election campaign.
Toronto Sun: The Liberal government appeared to be hoping for some sort of Jan. 6 style event as happened in the United States last year. All of their rhetoric indicated they were keen to see such an event go down. It never did. The convoy has been peaceful throughout.
So this “small fringe minority” has resulted in the Canadian government suspending democracy, free movement and introducing the power to force labor, as well as confiscate Canadian’s bank accounts.
“Look at you Justin, look what you did to your country. You brought us all back together, you f&cking idiot. Freedom!”
Former Premier Brian Peckford and Freedom Convoy Organizer Tamara Lich have some profound words for all Canadians.
More gas on the fire.

-Freeland just announced the RCMP are going to have free powers to freeze bank accounts without process.
@thevivafrei· Don’t worry, @JustinTrudeau isn’t “calling in the military”. He is just authorizing banks to unilaterally freeze your accounts on the basis of suspicion alone, no court order required, with legal immunity. I hope everyone realizes how much more dangerous this is than the military
Lots more. Add what you find in the comments.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association emerges from a deep slumber.
Keean Bexte BREAKING: Trudeau has updated his schedule, and will likely invoke martial law at 4:30 local time. Military officials have been consulted by Trudeau’s staff.
Update —Scott Moe opposes.
Bumped for morning updates.
Doug Ford has pulled the rug from under Trudeau with a scheduled announcement on dropping restrictions in Ontario at 9:30am.
Vax passports will in Ontario end March 1.
Just Watch Him: Trudeau threatens to put soldiers in our streets. (How else do you deal with a Russian takeover?)
In Coutts: A house in Coutts was surrounded by police last night. Other than that everything seems to be the same.
Reminder that Saskatchewan’s vaccine passes were finished as of midnight.
National Post — Two-thirds of Canadians believe it’s time to drop COVID-19 restrictions and begin living with the virus, according to a new poll.
This is apparently real. (Mischief is important)
Best take: @DonMartinCTV
February 6: City of Ottawa declares state of emergency. Nothing changes. February 11: Ontario declares a state of emergency. Nothing changes. Today: Trudeau expected to invoke Emergencies Act. Will anything change? Doubtful.

@Travisdhanraj – #UPDATE: The First Ministers Meeting will be for a briefing & discussion on the blockades and take place at approx 10 am tomorrow @CBCNews has learned
“what’s your guns for guys” Updates from the @buperac account: A heavily armed RCMP tactical unit is on scene at Coutts, apparently to watch a game of street hockey.
Long time reader “Chris” sent this essay to me privately, and I’m sharing it as a download instead of quoting as it’s somewhat lengthy.
I’m recently unemployed because of a workplace vaccine mandate, and pissed off, and I thought I’d write about something I wanted to write about for a change – Why is the Freedom Convoy Different from Other Protests
Good work, Chris. We just got Jordan Petersoned. Bumped. We got Brit Humed, too.
“Why is your finger on the trigger?”
Live from Windsor this afternoon. Make sure to check out Viva’s comments at the end.
More: They got my husband. , Another angle. This looks like a different one. I’m not a lawyer but arresting people for being on a sidewalk doesn’t sound like normal policing.
BREAKING NEWS FROM OTTAWA:
Crack Ottawa police officers have finally made an important arrest in order to restore peace in the nation’s capital. They have apprehended the racist, Islamophobic, hatey, hateful, antisemitic, transphobic, misogynist popcorn maker of doom.
I don’t know about you, but I’m so very relieved that that horrible weapon of mass destruction is off the streets.
But Ottawa police cannot get complacent. There’s still much work to do. Because we all know that the Cotton Candy Insurrectionists are the most dangerous threat to our democracy.
#HONKHONK
The honking will continue until the freedom improves.
Also: Bad truckers.
Looks like everyone’s camping trips just got extended.

The federal government will announce changes to pandemic measures at Canada’s borders next week, Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos signalled Friday, while Canada’s chief public health officer said the country is looking to more sustainable plans to manage COVID-19.
When Trudeau’s lost the high schools…
Coffee just went through my nose.
CTV- “Why did you decide to go snowmobiling during a state of insurrection and siege in Ottawa? “
Full Story here. Pictures, videos they got the whole thing! Just when you think a story can’t get any more Canadian a politician puts the final nail in his coffin by going…snowmobiling. Well done CTV, credit where credits due.
I don’t have time to dig into the details right now but here’s the main clip from Doug Ford’s press conference.
My guess is that its going to wind up being another symbolic gesture but we’ll see.
Rupa Subramanya: Chrystia Freeland’s side gig with the WEF is endangering Canadian democracy
There’s no need to invent conspiracy theories. The attempt by global elites to subvert local democracy is fully on and in plain view
