The inability to deal with this without declaring wartime level powers is entirely on them. I was blown away that anything short of storming the Parliament Buildings warranted this declaration.

I had no love for the "freedom" wackos, but jfc, this was embarassing to see.

"on them" where "them" are the municipal and provincial police forces.

On the police, and provincial government, 100%. They say around with their thumb up their ass, pandering to people bring our.capital to a half, while the truckers pissed in doors, honked Horns all day long, and blocked trade.

The emergencies act is a drastic measure, but this situation warranted it. If the RCMP or the province had done SOMETHING earlier, it wouldn't have been needed.
