Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invokes rarely-used emergency powers to bring an end to trucker-led protests against Covid-19 health rules that police fear could turn violent.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday said the government had invoked rarely used special measures allowing him to tackle protests that have shut some border crossings and paralysed downtown Ottawa.
"We're not limiting people's freedom of expression. We're not limiting freedom of peaceful assembly," Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tells the House of Commons, hitting back at critics after invoking emergency powers to end the blockades in Ottawa.
Faced with truckers' protests popping up across the nation, and hampering cross border trade, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday became the only Canadian leader since his father 50 years ago to declare a state of emergency in peacetime.
