The government was told the legal threshold for invoking the Emergencies Act, a threat to national security, was not.
The witness statement of CSIS director David Vigneault showed that the intelligence service didn’t see the convoy as a threat as defined by law.
Sec. 2 of the CSIS Act spells out the criteria of a threat, including espionage or sabotage, foreign influenced activities, the use or threat of violence for political goals and using unlawful acts to overthrow the government. CSIS examined the situation and didn’t find anything happening that met the legal threshold, including foreign donations made online to support the convoy.
The law is quite specific: to invoke a public order emergency, there must be a threat to national security, as defined in Sec. 2 of the CSIS act, and that no other law in Canada can deal with the threat. Stewart wants you to believe it’s up to the prime minister and cabinet to decide when to invoke the Act, but the law sets a clear legal threshold.
Protesters should have never been allowed to entrench themselves, but the fact that happened does not mean the government met the legal threshold for granting itself and police sweeping powers.
