    False...it is the direct and equivalent successor to the War Measures Act.   It is martial law by any other name, including banking transactions.

     

     

    It is also funded by Canadians, who also fund partisan things in the U.S. (e.g. lobbyists).

    The convoy donated money is funding illegal activities like blockading borders, illegal occupation of Ottawa, and all the illegal harassment, noise, and stopping people from going to work or do their jobs.

    No it is not the same as the War Measures Act.  It is used for specific actions to stop illegal acts, enable powers to force tow trucks to tow vehicles, etc.  It also is different than the War Measures Act in that it has built in accountability to Parliament and must be approved by Parliament.

    you're a Christian ?

    nice to have you here, brother

    in His ministry together

    God has nothing to do with law-breakers, anarchists and criminals.  He opposes them.  You can't claim to be on God's side and support anarchy,  sedition against the government and law-breaking.

    " 3  For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4  For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain."   Romans 13: 3, 4 KJV

    Trump never "cleared the streets" for the entire nation.   If you are comfortable with what Trudeau has done here, that's fine.  But other Canadians will rightfully disagree...or is that not allowed anymore either ?

     

    Canadian or American...the larger issue is plain to see...or ignored by partisan folks.   Martial law use to be for Haiti...not Canada.

    The Emergency Act is not the War Measures Act and there is no Army being sent in.  The Emergency act is not being applied everywhere.  You are spreading false information in claiming it is to clear the streets "everywhere".  It is not.  It is only being applied where there are illegal acts, such as the occupation of Ottawa, the capital city, because it is an insurrection, an attempt by a far right group to overthrow the government and set up an unelected dictatorship.  It is 60% funded by far right radicals in other countries, mainly in the U.S.  The act gives the police and authorities more tools to effectively deal with the anarchy and occupation as well as stop the flow of money to fund it.

    You use strong language which doesn't exactly reflect what's actually going on. 

    Nice try 

    If you don't believe me, listen to the media, listen to Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the NDP, listen to what the government is saying.   Singh says this is clearly an insurrection.  Their clearly stated goal is to have an unelected group replace the democratically-elected government.  They are using harassment of citizens, attacking workers, attacking people and using children as shields.

  5. This is an attempted insurrection.  You and a number of others on here appear to be supporting it.  Most of the protesters don't even know themselves they are being used by a hard core of highly organized insurrectionists trying to over throw the Parliamentary system and government.  They and you are being used.  This was all sold as just a peaceful protest for freedom.  That is not what it is at all.

    Whatever pipe dream you're watching it's wrong and poisonous. Not going to suggest weaning off as you appear to be hopelessly addicted, sorry. But it's plainly false, deceitful and wrong.

    You are being used and totally deceived.  You are actually supporting criminals.  Definitely an attempted takeover of government.

    so you are making up excuses as to why you shouldn't

    Careful bud.  This is an attempted insurrection.  You and a number of others on here appear to be supporting it which may be accessories to crime.  Most of the protesters don't even know themselves they are being used by a hard core of highly organized insurrectionists trying to over throw the Parliamentary system and government.  They are being used.  The people on here are also being used by them.  They was all sold as just a peaceful protest for freedom.  That is not what it is at all.

    Throwing around nonsense doesn't make you any more credible. 

    You think this is just a peaceful protest?  The truth has been coming out.  This is run by a highly organized movement intent on overthrowing the democratically-elected government and Parliamentary system.  CTV just reported this again.  Wake up goof.

    Let's have an international quiz: a government invokes emergency powers in response to a peaceful protest of citizens. Which country is it?

    a) China b) Russia c) Iran d) North Korea e) None of the above

    Why, seriously? Worth trying!

    No bud.  You are badly deceived.  Many of the players in it think they are just peaceful protesters but they are being used by a small group of conspirators.  This is an attempted insurrection driven by foreign money from the far right in the U.S.

  10. It never ceases to amaze me how naive many people are on here.  People's hate for Trudeau and the health restrictions has blinded them to the fact that Canada is under seige by a mob including seditionists who want to overthrow our democratic system.  Arrests have already been made of people for conspiracy to commit murder.  We still don't know what the authorities may encounter in  removing the illegal Ottawa blockade-occupation.

    no need to go anywhere to find out what it's like

    we have one right here

    you in fact support many of the tyrannical measures used in China also being used in Canada

    you only seem to notice the tyranny when China does it though

    somehow when Canada does it, you claim it's not tyrannical

    The so-called "freedom convoy" is nothing other than an attempt by a far right seditionist mob run out of the U.S. by Trumpsters to overthrow our Parliamentary system and duly elected minority government.  RCMP, CSIS, and the government have been fully informed of this.  About 60% of the funding has come from U.S. far right sources.  Guns, ammo has been seized in Coutts and at least a dozen people arrested.  Four have been arrested and will be charged or are charged with conspiracy to commit murder.  Wake up!

    In answer to what appears to be the query of this this thread though...

    The ultimate objective of the nascent tyrant is, of course, totalitarian rule.

    So they create a problem with authoritarian undemocratic edicts then when there's enough of a stink they offer a solution.

    It's what they do.

    Nonsense.  Ever heard we have a Parliamentary system with an elected minority government?

  13. The imposition of the act has been an obvious necessity for the past 2-1/2 weeks as the occupation of a city became an uncontrollable disaster.

      The declared attempt to overthrow our democratic system and occupation of the capital city should be an obvious reason to anyone paying attention.

    This has been well-publicized in the media during this whole time.  Nobody can say they don't understand it if they have been watching the news.

    Secondly, this will be debated thoroughly in Parliament as the government is required to bring it into Parliament for approval within seven days.  So this will give ample opportunity for everyone to understand the implementation of this act.

    I'm not sure of the logistical situation for Ottawa or Windsor police.  If they didn't have the resources to to enforce the law, they should have been provided with them by the provincial or federal governments.  If they did have them (which it doesn't sound like) then I think we can blame poor policing.  

    What I'd really like is a proper explanation on why THIS protest is worth of the Emergencies Act when we didn't need it for that one:

    There are a number of reasons why the act is necessary.  But there is no need to for the government to give a detailed explanation, although they did issue a brief explanation.   The reasons have been on the media constantly since the protest convoy started three weeks ago.  It will also be debated thoroughly in Parliament as is required within seven days of enactment.

    the debt is not the only problem, combined debt in Canada is massive

    now the pandemic has destroyed vast sectors of the the economy

    particularly small businesses which provide most of the jobs

    and now on top of that, Trudeau has imposed a tyrannical dictatorship

    which undermines the currency and Trudeau is seizing control of money & assets which causes money to flee

    so Canada really is a banana republic basket case

    so a catastrophe even greater than Covid is coming

    There is no "tyrannical dictatorship".  You are full of it.  Go to Russia, China, or Iran if you want to find out what a dictatorship is.

  16. One thing we are learning from the blockage of the Ambassador bridge is Canada is far too dependent on one bridge as it's lifeline for food and trade especially for the automotive parts industry between Detroit and Windsor, Canada.  Experts are now pointing out this weakness.  Canada is extremely dependent on the southern U.S. and Mexico as it's agricultural food source and much of it comes across this one bridge.  So any event that cuts this bridge off is catastrophic for Canada.  Anything like a natural disaster, earthquake, terrorist attack, or simply a domestic blockage by any extremist protest group puts Canada in a stranglehold.  It's time for politicians to wake up and find solutions to this weakness.  To begin with, it should be legally designated as out of bounds for any protest group or blockading and be under constant guard from such actions.  There should be immediate action taken if it is attacked again and serious consequences.  It should be considered as an act of war.

    Blockades show Canada ‘too reliant’ on Ambassador Bridge, experts say (msn.com)

    Why don’t you have this same humility regarding the Theory of Evolution? 

     

    You are 100% incorrect about that. 

    A scientific theory is the opposite of speculation.  Germs are a fact, and yet it’s called a theory.  Gravity is a fact, yet it’s called a theory.  The same is true of evolution.

    But other Christians say the exact same thing, and yet you believe they are following the devil.  

     

    The theory of evolution contradicts the Bible and has been shown to be false.

    I don't see the point of debating gravity or the definition of a theory. 

    Not sure what your point is.  Satan is the prince of this world and millions are deceived by him.

    How do I tell the difference between the Holy Spirit and the Devil, if the Devil has the ability to fool us?

    Is there a thing called Germ Theory of Disease?

    Theory of Gravity? 

    Do you know what a theory is when the term is used within science?

    Do you think the biochemists, pathologists, biologists, etc involved in creating vaccines believe in the Theory of Evolution?

     

    There are several basic principles to interpreting Scripture.

    1. “INTERPRET LITERALLY (i.e. NORMALLY or NATURALLY).” In other words, take the words at "face value." Take the words & verses to mean just what they normally mean, unless there is clear evidence in the text itself that they should be taken symbolically.

    2. The "Golden Principle of Bible Interpretation": "When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense. Therefore, take every word at its primary, ordinary, usual, literal meaning unless the facts of the immediate context, studied in the light of related passages and axiomatic (self-evident) and fundamental truths indicate clearly otherwise." David L. Cooper.

       Principles-of-Bible-Interpretation-full-paper.pdf (bbc-madison.org)

    If you follow these principles you should be following the leading of the Holy Spirit, not the Devil.

    I am not familiar with the germ theory of disease.

    I am not a scientist so can't comment on the theory of gravity, but if there a theory on it, it is probably reasonable.  We all experience gravity so we know it exists.

    I believe theory in the scientific realm is speculation about something where it has not been proven by the scientific method.

    Yes, many scientists likely believe in the theory of evolution, but many of them may not have given any serious examination of it from the point of view of those who have debunked it.  Most people who do not believe the Bible likely do not even know the creationist point of view.  You can read articles on the subject of creation at creation.com

    If it’s based on faith, then how can we tell that they’re in error?

     

    And you do not accept the science of evolution.  

    So why do you accept the science on vaccines and not the science when it comes to evolution?  

    It takes study and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to tell truth from error.

    Evolution is not science.  It is called the theory of evolution. You used the wrong word.   The theory has been debunked by many including scientists.

    The science on the success of vaccines has been well-established over the decades.  It has saved millions of lives.
