1/2 The NDP Caucus in 1970 under Tommy Douglas took a courageous and principled stand against the War Measures Act.
Today's @NDP under Jagmeet Singh betrays that legacy and supports Liberals on the Emergencies Act.
Shame. A very dangerous precedent is being set.

2/2 I was in the House during 1988 debate on the Act, when we were promised that "emergency powers can only be used when the situation is so drastic that no other law of Canada can deal with the situation".
That test has not been met.
@NDP can stop this.
Will they?
