Though police are gathering to enforce the Emergencies Act, invoked by Prime Minister Trudeau on Monday to end the three-week-long convoy protest against remaining COVID-19 restrictions, protesters at Parliament Hill remain peaceful.

The Emergencies Act, never used before, gives extraordinary powers to police and authorities to seize bank accounts, property, children and pets of those participating in “unlawful” protests. The maximum penalty for contravening the Act is five years incarceration.
