The phrase "declare martial law" is 100% misinformation and I wish Americans and/or other interested worldwide observers that do not understand our Emergencies Act that was invoked would stop treating it like so.

Sorry you feel that way. Thanks, you enjoy your day as well.
Oh before you go, if you read the link I provided(section 46). The emergency act specifically disallows charter rights to be violated. So the accounts they have seized already? Under Section 6 of the Charter of unreasonable search and seizure? Ya the government will now be paying them compensation for violating their rights.
I should have said "agenda" rather than biased, sorry.
I'm very aware of our Charter, thank you very much. I recommend reading section 1 of the charter and understanding what reasonable means in the context of section 8 (not 6 as in your comment) from the Canadian legal perspective.

You're right, section 8.
There is to date no section 1 limitations or exemptions to peaceful assembly nor search and seizure.
Something that has been quite interesting is how many lawyers are frothing at the mouth right now. The emergencies act is going from academic to case law. Never before and there's clear charter right violations at the same time as the act being misused.
>I should have said "agenda" rather than biased, sorry.
I am very biased. I believe in charter rights that have been enshrined and defined by international treaty.
The reality that after years of covid restrictions impacting our rights. It's time, like the rest of the world, to return our rights. This protest was inevitable at the reasonable end of the pandemic.
Trudeau should have taken advice from his own party and not vilified the protest quite wrongly. Spoke with them, provided a roadmap to the exit. Instead here we are with charter right abuses and martial law
Woah bud. Here's the act here.

This is literally the last resort. This is a 'national emergency that cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada."
Any other law. This is by definition Martial law. Martial law is the last resort. Which is why this has never ever been invoked before.
Just because the ministry of truth doesn't call it martial law is irrelevant.
