Reject The Emergencies / War Measures Act
Earlier this week, the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act (formerly known as the War Measures Act) for the first time since 1970.
As a reminder, the War Measures Act was invoked in 1970 because the Quebec nationalist group, Front de libération du Québec, set off over 200 bombs across Quebec, kidnapped a British diplomat, and kidnapped and murdered the Deputy Premier of Quebec, Pierre Laporte.
We highlight this most recent usage of the War Measures Act to explain the extremely high bar required to invoke this massive expansion in government powers, and even then its usage was opposed by the NDP on civil liberties grounds.
Since 1970, Canada has faced many crises in many different forms.
The Emergencies / War Measure Act was not used to resolve the Oka Crisis, a series of protests where multiple deaths and hundreds of injuries occurred, the Calendonia land dispute, the extended blockade of pipelines and railways in 2020 and 2021, the September 11th attacks, or even the COVID-19 pandemic itself.
This is because the Emergencies / War Measures Act contains extremely strict rules about when it may be used.
Just one of these many restrictions says that a crisis must “exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it” before the federal government may step in and take over.
The crisis must also be of a nationwide nature, not restricted to just a small geographic area.
Given all the border blockades across the country were handled and ended by provincial governments before the federal government even invoked the Act, and the only remaining protest is the one in his own backyard in Ottawa, the current protest clearly fails to meet this criteria.
Unfortunately, the nature of the Emergencies / War Measures Act is that it can be initially invoked unilaterally by the government without a vote in Parliament, and a vote in Parliament need only occur if the government wishes to extend the emergency beyond seven days.
While courts may ultimately rule that the Prime Minister's usage of this law was illegal, the requirement to hold a vote in Parliament presents an opportunity to end this government overreach immediately.
The government has already announced that they intend to attempt to extend the emergency by holding a vote in Parliament, but because the government holds only a minority in the Parliament and the Senate, the opposition and independents have a very real opportunity to block the government's plan.
That's why it's vital that we call on every single member of the Parliament of Canada, including Members of Parliament and Senators from all parties, to protect the rights and freedoms of Canadians by rejecting the federal government's invocation of the Emergencies / War Measures Act.
Countless legal experts and civil liberties groups across the country have already denounced the use of this law and called on the government to reverse course.
If you agree, please sign this petition, and encourage all your friends, family, and co-workers to do the same.

Would you allow your loved one to participate in a medical trial without their consent? Would you ask a loved one to take a vaccine if trial data showed more harm than good? Of course not. No one would. Well the data is in and nothing will ever be the same again.
The Covid Care alliance looked at Pfizer’s OWN trial data, and found the vaccine causes more harm than good. The data showed while vaccines resulted in less cases, it also resulted in increased illness and all cause mortality. Less cases but MORE ILLNESS AND ALL CAUSE MORTALITY? You heard me correctly… Pfizer’s OWN data shows more illness and death in those that took it as opposed to those who didn’t.
How can vaccines be the best way to protect people when vaccine companies OWN DATA shows more harm than good? Isn’t a vaccine supposed to do the opposite? Isn’t it supposed to be our best option to protect people?
There is absolutely NO BENEFIT to a reduction in cases if it comes at the cost of increased illness and death. It’s time for us to ask questions of our health authorities and to hold them accountable. If the vaccine causes more harm than good, it’s at best negligence, or as Dr. Hodgekinson says, at worst, it’s state sanctioned murder.
Did you know that the trial dates registered with the National Institute of Health do not end until later this year and into 2023? Mandating this vaccine without informed consent, is also a violation of International law of the Nuremberg Code.
Did you know that violation of the Nuremberg Code is punishable by death? It is obvious that we can no longer rely on AHS or shoddy legal advice, to protect ourselves and others from these provable facts which could very well result in criminal charges at the highest level. What would Travellers Canada insurer for your Directors and Officers liability say if they knew that you were made aware of this information and that your policy was breaking international law and endangering lives?
The time has come to find out just what you will do now that you have found out that something you thought was right, turned out to be very very wrong. Will you do your job which you are entrusted to do and be on the right side of history to defeat the mandate? Will you model the pillar of accountability as is your responsibility or will you turn a blind eye to what is happening and tow the party line since our health agencies told you everything is fine? You DO know that medical error is the third leading cause of death in Canada right?
If real live data proves that these vaccines do not stop individuals from contracting or spreading it, data shows more than good, records that show it’s in experimental trials, does it make sense to promote a discriminatory inequitable policy which for which you may be held criminally liable? The mandate should be rescinded immediately and you should call for the RCMP to investigate the fraud being committed in light of the evidence provided. https://www.canadiancovidcarealliance.org/media-resources/tag/harm/
