.@chrisrands and I just stopped MPs at West Block about the Emergencies Act.
Liberal MP Judy Sgro says “it’s a sad day for Canada” adding, “do you see what’s going on outside?” #cdnpolo
CPC MP Richard Bragdon says the Emergencies Act is a “Very big step … I wanna hear what (Trudeau) is bringing forward” #cdnpoli
Instead of answering our question about the Emergencies Act, CPC MP Dr Stephen Ellis attacked Trudeau
“There has been a failure of leadership here by the PM from the very beginning, which leads us down this very, very dangerous road”
NDP MP Don Davies said “We’re in some extraordinary times, I think it’s wise to review all the resources at our disposal” adding that it’s important to consider if it’s appropriate at this time #cdnpoli

Friends, it’s time to check-in on Ottawa’s nightlife.
No party tonight at Ottawa’s Hottest Club, Wellington St
I spoke with the guy who owns the flatbed/stage earlier today and be said he ain’t leaving no matter what happens. Guess the party will continue at a future date…
Down at Ottawa’s second hottest club, Rideau and Sussex, its surprisingly busy.
Decent crowd for a Monday night, and there is enough fuel to keep the party going for days.
“After discussing with Cabinet and Caucus with consultation with the Premiers, after speaking with oppo leaders, the federal government has invoked the emergencies act”- Trudeau #cdnpoli
Trudeau says the Emergencies Act will allow fines and imprisonment and will allow the RCMP to enforce provincial and municipal bylaws as required #cdnpoli#ottnews
