We wrote about Mrs. Natalie Jarrett in February. The Ontario mother-of-three received a Pfizer mRNA injection in June 2021.
She thought it was the right thing to do because of nonstop coercion from media, government and social circles. Mrs. Jarrett didn’t get a second injection after developing two blood clots and autoimmune issues from the first shot. That meant no vaccine passport and being ostracized from society.
Mrs. Jarrett has since used her platforms to warn others about the injections and speak out against mandates. She joined thousands of truckers and other fed up Canadians in Ottawa for the #FreedomConvoy in February.
Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act on February 14 to disperse the truckers’ convoy that he called an “illegal occupation.” It went into effect immediately. Parliament has the opportunity to affirm or rescind the declaration within seven days.
The House of Commons voted 185-151 to uphold the declaration on February 21. While the Senate was still deliberating, Trudeau revoked the emergency declaration on February 23. He told reporters that the situation was under control and no longer an emergency. Either way, it would have expired 30 days after being invoked.
The current iteration of the Emergencies Act had never been invoked prior to the trucker’s convoy. Civil liberties organizations demanded investigations into Trudeau’s government for invoking the act in the first place.

Trudeau announced an independent inquiry, called the The Public Order Emergency Commission, to look into into the government’s emergency powers invocation. He appointed Ontario Court of Appeals Judge Paul Rouleau to oversee it.
Conservative MPs view the inquiry as a charade to attack the truckers and deflect attention away from the government’s actions. Regardless the hearings started on October 13, and are scheduled to finish on November 25.
Hundreds of 18-wheelers clogged the streets of Ottawa, with truckers blaring their horns day and night, demanding that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau lift all vaccine and mask mandates.
The Emergencies Act is a federal Canadian law that was originally the War Measures Act of 1914. The latter was adopted during World War I, after the British Empire (U.K.) declared war against Germany. Essentially if England was at war, then so was Canada since the latter was still under full control of the British Empire at the time.
Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1931, and gained Constitutional independence from Britain in 1982. But King Charles III is still Canada’s symbolic head of state today, a Constitutional Monarch.
The Canadian Parliament passed the Emergencies Act in 1988 to replace the outdated War Measures Act. According to the Canadian government:
