It looks like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just blinked big time in his fight with the Freedom Convoy over COVID mandates.
Trudeau is now backing down and has revoked the Emergencies Act that he called on Feb. 14, and that he just asked the House of Commons to pass on Monday. As we reported earlier, he needed approval from the nation’s Senate and it looked like a lot of the senators had big questions about passing it. I’m thinking it means that he got tipped that he wasn’t going to get it past the Senate, so it was better to revoke it rather than be embarrassed when they shot it down.
As we also noted , he was getting a lot of criticism from around the world, such as from the Romanian member of the European Parliament Cristian Terhes who called him a “tyrant,” and compared him to a Communist dictator.
The Emergencies Act measure included things like freezing people’s bank accounts for the ‘crime’ of donating 20 dollars to the Freedom Convoy, and conscripting tow truck drivers, forcing them to work for the government to clear out the protesters in Ottawa.

Trudeau now said that he no longer thought it was necessary because the standing Ottawa protests have largely been cleared out. But the standing protests had been largely cleared out on Monday, when he was pushing the measure to be passed in the House. “We are confident that existing laws and bylaws are now sufficient to keep people safe,” Trudeau said during a press conference.
As this is breaking news, RedState will provide updates as they become available.
No sir, might as well keep it in place sir. You started it, but I don’t think you’re going to be able to finish it. We’ll see.
Seems there was a bank run too.
It was the Bank Run that changed his mind. Youbetcha!
Justin Castro more accurately
The Emergencies Act is now a pox on the Canadian banks.
Oops.
Those bicameral legislatures are such a bitch aren’t they??
3,000 years of governmental experience in checking power sure comes in handy sometimes!
What about the trucks and money they confiscated? And the truckers’ pets?
There, fixed it.
Nice :)
Trudoodoo’s Ceausescu Moment!
Now what?
He can always go to Cuba?
Totalitarian Vermin is to forever be reviled.
BUMP!
I still find it irritating that not a single world leader has spoken out against what Trudeau did and is doing.
and even more irritated that now a sing leader of an English-speaking country has.
I guess they figure Trudeau will nod wisely when they crack down on protestors.
” and even more irritated that now a sing leader of an English-speaking country has.”
Should read, and even more irritated that not a single leader of an English-speaking country has.
damn old clumsy mind.
Actually the former President of IRAN came out against Trudeau:

I feel rather weird when a jihadist is on the same side as I am.
MAGA BUMP! Castro AND Ceausescu TOO!
May this MOMENT haunt this arrogant Globalist Prick for the rest of his life.
No, Marktwain is Right. Castro and Ceausescu TOO!
It’s pretty bad when Canada acts like you would expect Iran, Turkey, or Russia to act. Trudeau is more a fascist than almost anyone else.
Justine: "No, really it was just something in my eye. I'm still a globalist power player Mr.Soros, sir. I really am."
