1/8. Justin Trudeau just invoked the #EmergenciesAct for the first time ever. What does that mean? An explainer. 🧵👇 #cdnpoli #FreedomConvoy2022
2/8. Trudeau wants to crack down on the anti-mandate convoys across Canada, particularly in #Ottawa. The Act enables a wide range of powers, from removing trucks to freezing funds. Here are some of the central ones:
3/8. Power 1: Enable RCMP to enforce both provincial offenses and municipal bylaws. This is to help overwhelmed local police.
4/8. Power 2: Prohibiting public assembly in certain places where it's considered a breach of lawful protest and peace.
5/8. Power 3: Ordering tow trucks to remove convoy vehicles that block roads.
6/8. Power 4: Allowing financial institutions like banks to, without a court order, freeze any funds meant to support convoy protests and blockades.
7/8. Power 5: Ordering online crowd-funding platforms and their payment services to register under and report to the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC).
8/8 The federal govt says these measures will not overreach their limited aims, but NCCM is monitoring the situation closely - and talking to all political parties - to make sure that's the case.
Implementation of the Emergencies Act is planned to last 30 days. An inquiry has also planned to evaluate its effectiveness afterwards.
Canadian Muslims know how national security establishments operate - and how operations tend to target marginalized communities. We will be watching and advocating for you always. #cdnpoli #FreedomConvoy2022 #EmergenciesAct #Canada

The govt’s Dec 2018 report on terror threats in Canada used dangerous & unsubstantiated language about Muslim and Sikh communities, and severely downplayed the threat of far-right extremism. @nccm @iclmg @WorldSikhOrg & others called on Min. @RalphGoodale to address this.
@nccm wrote to Minister Goodale & secured a meeting to discuss our concerns. His office released a statement indicating that a review of the language was underway. canada.ca/en/public-safe…
