There's a difference between illegal and not meeting a standard to use a policy.

Also y'all weren't protesting him you were protesting people with brains.

Yeah.....a policy that sidesteps the charter of rights and freedoms. Quit being disingenuous.

The Emergencies Act, formerly the War Measures Act, is literally designed to suspend certain rights and freedoms during a national emergency. The only ever time it was used was during the FLQ crisis when politicians were being kidnapped and murdered.

You need to understand that the only thing that guarantees you your rights and freedoms is a piece of paper.

Used twice and I think you responded to the wrong person.
