Was the Emergencies Act required?
Posted on November 7, 2022
The Emergencies Act Inquiry, which probes whether the federal government was able to utilize such powers to bring the Ottawa occupation to an end, has been running for about three weeks now with plenty more testimony to come.
From this vantage point the one thing that is very clear is that no level of government was competent in ending the occupation until the Act was finally implemented. A municipal government that was led by a questionable police force, a provincial government that sat on its hands and continues to do so. And a federal government with a front row view of the occupation that paralyzed the city for more than three weeks.
Through it all, the residents of Ottawa were tormented by the hundreds of truckers and thousands of protesters who initially came to demonstrate against vaccine mandates.

I voted: YesFrom my perspective, the Ottawa Police service was unprepared and the province and RCMP did not have a coordinated team approach before this occupation. So, yes, in this one instance I believe the Emergencies Act was necessary. Now that the cracks are revealed, hopefully a special plan will be worked out for future events in Ottawa and other border crossings to ensure a line of command will be established to never use the Act again.
