There was no compelling reason to invoke the Emergencies Act a week ago. The blockades at Windsor and Coutts had been resolved using ordinary legal means. Now that order has been restored in Ottawa, the extension of these extraordinary powers is obviously massive over reach.

1/ Blockades must end and order must be restored, but invocation of the federal Emergencies Act is disproportionate and unjustified. Freezing peopleโ€™s bank accounts without due process violates natural justice. This overreach creates a dangerous precedent.
