The Public Order Emergency Commission recently did an inquiry into Justin Trudeau's use of the emergencies act to respond to the trucker protests of February 2022. The commission found that Trudeau was justified in invoking the act. I completely agree with this, as the trucker protests had gotten out of control, and the police had proved themselves to be ineffective in dealing with them. They were blocking bridges on the border, and holding up 10's if not 100's of millions of dollars of trade with the United States. Had the local police been more effective in dealing with the protests, the situation would not have become a national emergency and would not have required Trudeau to invoke emergency powers. While it was a drastic measure, the situation was dire and it was required.
