Dear Friends & Partners,
Over this past weekend, our federal leaders have been debating whether or not the powers given to our government under the Emergency Measures Act will be extended.
Over this past weekend the Freedom Convoy 2022 was cleared out of Ottawa by police.
Today Parliament will decide if the powers given to them by the Emergency Measures Act will be extended or revoked.
This act allows the government to seize property, bank accounts, cancel vehicle insurances and arrest protesters as well as those seen as helping them.
The vote is expected to happen at 5pm EST, or later.
CONTACT THE NDP AND LIBERAL MPS
Whether or not the government is able to extend these powers will likely depend on how the NDP votes. There are also Liberal MPs who have indicated they are not in agreement with the Prime Minister. They could also vote against the extension and help defeat the motion.
The most important thing for Canadians to do immediately is to contact the NDP MPs, Liberal MPs and their own MPs to ask them to vote against this.
