Dear god. This #cbcpnp panelist has Pierre Trudeau using the Emergencies Act in 1988… four years(!) after he left office and the year it was actually introduced and it’s never been used.
A faithful correspondent reminds me that Barootes is a “Senator Elect”. (And yes @journo_dale I know there’s no such thing 🤣 
At another point this week Cochrane had to correct another Conservative panelist who suggested the Emergencies Act was (if memory serves) was the same as the War Measures Act.
