Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday the use of the Emergency Measures Act. He wants to end the “illegal” blockades of anti-sanitary measures protesters, which have been going on in the country for more than two weeks.
“The federal government is invoking the Emergency Measures Act to supplement provincial and territorial powers and deal with blockades and occupations,” he said, noting that the military would not be deployed and that new measures would be “limited in time and geographically”.
