The nationwide demonstration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/news\/investigations\/2022\/02\/22\/timeline-of-the-freedom-convoy.html\">lasted<\/a> from about January 26 to February 20 and consisted of thousands of commercial truckers intentionally blocking strategic stretches of Canadian trade routes to draw global attention to the Canadian government\u2019s coronavirus vaccine mandates and other pandemic-related restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>Trudeau <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/17\/freedom-convoy-protesters-dismiss-justin-trudeaus-emergency-powers-move\/\">invoked<\/a> Canada\u2019s Emergency Act on February 14 for the first time in history as part of a strategic effort to gain extraordinary powers that allow his administration to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tech\/2022\/02\/15\/canadas-use-of-terrorist-laws-against-peaceful-protest-draws-international-condemnation\/\">treat<\/a> peaceful participants of the \u201cFreedom Convoy\u201d as violent terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em> (<em>WSJ<\/em>), like Bukele on Tuesday, noted Trudeau\u2019s conflicting stances in claiming to stand against authoritarianism in Ukraine while denying his own country\u2019s citizens their civil rights. The U.S.-based newspaper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/justin-trudeaus-liberal-tyranny-canada-truckers-emergency-powers-11645561913\">observed<\/a> the following in an op-ed published February 22 titled \u201cJustin Trudeau\u2019s Liberal Tyranny\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Every trucker blockade in Canada has been cleared, yet Mr. Trudeau\u2019s Liberal government isn\u2019t giving up the emergency powers it claimed to criminalize the protest movement against vaccine mandates. \u2018This state of emergency is not over,\u2019 Mr. Trudeau said, citing the risk of <em>future<\/em> blockades. This isn\u2019t how a nation of laws is supposed to function.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trudeau\u2019s new powers rely on defining the disruptive but peaceful truckers as a security threat akin to violent terrorists. His emergency law, a broad prohibition on public assemblies and even indirect support for them, ensnares tens of thousands of Canadians as \u2018designated persons\u2019 whose assets must, per another of his new laws, be found and frozen by any financial institution, without due process or court supervision. There isn\u2019t an appeals process in case of error, and so far 200 accounts are frozen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Canadian lawmakers voted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-60472469\">extend<\/a> Trudeau\u2019s use of the Emergency Powers Act on February 21.
