UPDATE: CBC News has learned Justin Trudeau will inform the provinces he will invoke the Emergencies Act to give the government extra powers to deal with the protests across the country. Trudeau said there were no plans to deploy the military. https://t.co/yFw9Hj1DhD

The "Emergencies Act" that Trudeau will reportedly invoke derives from a predecessor law, the "War Measures Act," which curtailed liberties during World War I and II. So it appears Trudeau would be declaring that the Canadian government is on a war footing against the truckers
