  1. Also bear in mind that the CAF is bound at all times by international law and the laws of armed conflict The central pillars of which are military necessity, proportionality and collateral mitigation. This means that the military can only use military force against a military threat, so unless your protestors are heavily armed, there would be no mandate to use military force against them, so again, it isn't actually an escalation above police force to deploy the military in Aid to the Civil Power.

  2. With the repeal of ye olde British War Measures Act ( dating from the First World War, enacted on 22 August 1914 ) there is in fact no more provision for martial law under Canadian Law The War Measures Act was replaced by the Emergency Measures Act, which is not martial, the military simply plays a supporting role, the CAF never takes charge under the EMA

  3. The War Measures Act was repealed, it's no longer on the books. Martial law doesn't actually empower the military to do more than the police anyways, the military is still bound to follow the same laws and procedures the police are already using

  6. We really do not have a real right wing up here, as america does not have a real left wing down there. That is just fear mongering and hatred coming from you and your ilk.
