Yes, and the emergencies act was required because the police in Ottawa were _letting the protesters violate the law with impunity_.

There are multiple _legal_, _judicial_ injunctions in place and the police are failing to enforce them. The rule of law is breaking down and that cannot be allowed to happen.

You mean convoy has so little support even Police officers exercised civil disobedience?

The police are happy to beat up environmentalists and the homeless, but they don't want to beat up their drinking buddies.

They should stick to burning down police stations in minneapolis or whatever.

Did those happen in Canada? We are not part of the United States and you cannot compare an event in one country with another.

A better and valid comparison would be the Wet'suwet'en protests at Coastal GasLink, or the G20 protests from the 2000s.
