The prime minister invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canadas history in an attempt to clear weeks-long blockades.OTTAWA Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in the countrys history Monday, unleashing new powers to clear sprawling and disruptive antivaccine mandate protests and freeze their funding.
The act grants the government broad but temporary measures to deal with a crisis. These new powers range from freezing the bank accounts of protest organizers to increasing fines and prison sentences for those who defy orders to disperse. The anti-mandate trucker protest occupying downtown Ottawa is in its third week. Other protests have blockaded border crossings in Ontario and Alberta.
