Canada’s Trudeau invokes emergency powers to quell protests
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked emergency powers Monday to quell the paralyzing protests by truckers and others angry over Canada's COVID-19 restrictions, outlining plans not only to tow away their rigs but to strike at their bank accounts and their livelihoods.
"These blockades are illegal, and if you are still participating, the time to go home is now," he declared.
