Canadians, you have no idea what was done today in the name of -- what? Safety? Punishment? What's the rationale, even hypothetically? The Emergency Act was reserved for events that threatened the very existence of the state. If you think that current events qualify, think again.
We are deeply disappointed the government chose to make tonight's vote a matter of confidence.
This morning, we asked the government to revoke the emergency declaration and barring that, to at minimum commit to a free vote in Parliament.
@OttawaPolice Wow!! I have always Backed the Blue. Raised by a Detective, grew up in a station. I have officially become embarrassed by policing in Canada. This is not the Canada my father served.
