He didn't have a choice the senate was revoking it ... he said 2 days ago he wanted it for 360 days

[brianswindall]

He has made an enemy of many ordinary Canadians over this. We will not forget.

[pumpkinbody]

Weren't the blockades dealt with before he invoked the emergency act??

[mariafelix]

Vote every Liberal out of office along with NDP

[Fistandandtilus]

Cant proclaim to be against authoritarianism when scolding Russia THE DAY AFTER voting for the same treatment of your own citizens

[danielmarkleblanc]

I was watching the senate on this and it sure seemed like they would have revoked it. So, he never had a choice.

We don’t need the War Measures Act anymore and we definitely don’t need Trudeau anymore! We are done with you. The harm to Canada’s democracy was done by you.

"we were so close on calling the military"... To stop a peaceful protest

[danielg]

It’s okay. We’ll never vote for you or NDP.

Slimy character! He was about to get rebuked by the Senate or by one of the many legal challenges. If he pulls back now there is no legal precedent against the Emergencies Act and he can pull it out again any time he wants.

What exactly did Trudeau do in the back ground while the E Act was on?
No, I don’t believe it’s over…. And I think he knows it too.

Senate should still vote and Alberta and CLA should still go ahead with with the suits to make sure this is not set as a precedent. I want to see what are the repercussions if it is found that the threshold was never.

ALL TRUCKERS IN NORTH AMERICA SHOULD TAKE A TWO WEEK HOLIDAY

[gabi]

we take your money, your livelihood to 'convince' you to stop protesting... Let that sink in

[michaelmitton]

IT WAS GOING TO BE DEFEATED IN THE SENATE.

"You have no legal rights Whoops, my bad guys."

[debseitz]

Trudeau was embarrassed by the the world leaders pointing out his hypocrisy.

The emergencies act isnt there to uphold the charter
The emergencies act is there to protect the country from foreign invasion, be it political or military.
that's basically it.

[chrisbrock]

why can't we see freeland in the video? I like watching her hyperventilate and fight the urge to pass out

[geuxbdheucbe]

Even now you won't look at the BIG FAT elephant in the room...masks and mandates are not needed...END ALL MANDATES...right to choose
