At a recent family gathering, a relative approached me to chat about my work fighting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act during the convoy protests in February 2022. He was unsure whether invocation was right. He agreed that freezing bank accounts was a frightening response to a political protest. But, he said, the situation was out of control. The honking was outrageous. The streets were blockaded. Something had to be done.
