Extreme concerns about invoking Emergency Act

Dear Mr. 🦓🐆🐘,

I am writing to express my extreme concerns about
invoking the Emergencies Act by Trudeau government.

Please vote against it!

Here below you can find UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
17 September 2020

15. A “peaceful” assembly stands in contradistinction to one characterized by widespread and serious violence. The terms “peaceful” and “non-violent” are thus used interchangeably in this context. The right of peaceful assembly may, by definition, not be exercised using violence. “Violence” in the context of article 21 typically entails the use by participants of physical force against others that is likely to result in injury or death, or serious damage to property.14 Mere pushing and shoving or disruption of vehicular or pedestrian movement or daily activities do not amount to “violence”.

The federal government hasn’t met the necessary threshold to enact emergency legislation, and cautioned against its repeated use. It seriously threatens our democracy and our civil liberties.

Protests can be messy, but it’s worth to remember these are not only protected activities in a democratic country but also crucial to our well-being as a society.

The Ottawa protests certainly pose a nuisance but have been largely peaceful and non-life-threatening. Absent violence or property damage, the Ottawa protesting cannot constitute a national emergency.
Protesters ’ daily activities are exposed to the world online 24/7. We all know clearly what is really happening in Ottawa.

PM has not made any effort to sit down with the truckers who are peacefully demonstrating to find possible solutions.

Instead his decision is to invoke the emergency act — for the first time in Canada’s history —which dangerously escalates and inflames the situation .
Evidence of a completely failure of leadership!

Even China state -affiliated media ( governed by a dictionary government) express it’s opinion on social media about Trudeau’s action!

China state-affiliated media
Hong Kong cannot invoke National Security Law against violent petrol-bomb-throwing mobs but Canada’s Trudeau can invoke Emergency Powers to crack down on peaceful pro-freedom protesters. What’s the logic?

We are at a very historic moment in our history to see this act being invoked for the first time against peaceful demonstration and civil disobedience,

Your willingness to take action against the Emergency Act will demonstrate your solid support for Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Thank you for your commitment.
I look forward to receiving a response from you.

Sincerely,

Xxx
