Compare and contrast Canada's emergency law to the Florida anti-riot law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis that makes it a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison to deface a historical plaque. https://t.co/MOiMtnT9Rb — PolitiTweet.org

Canadians often complain of the cheerful indifference of Americans to Canadian affairs. But cheerful indifference right now sure seems a huge improvement over belligerent ignorance. — PolitiTweet.org

The emergency act gives Parliament the option of over-ruling any *single* action of government, so that even if the government is doing generally a reasonable job -but oversteps in one particular - the mistake can be corrected in real time, under the law. — PolitiTweet.org

One correction: It's a "special" not a "standing" committee of parliament that reviews emergency acts ... one that includes both MPs and Senators. Senators serve to age 75 and are more independent of government. Also ... — PolitiTweet.org

5) Any act of government under emergency law is reviewable by courts under Canadian charter of rights. Also to consider 6) The present emergency law was enacted by a Conservative government precisely to set limits to the emergency powers used by the elder Trudeau in 1970 — PolitiTweet.org

Emergency act reminder: 1) Canada's Parliament can end emergency any time by vote. Trudeau does not have a majority in Parliament, cannot control it. Failing that ... 2) Emergency automatically ends in 30 days unless affirmatively extended by Parliament. In meantime ... — PolitiTweet.org

Milan Kundera, in his novel Immortality, anticipated those who say that "rights" have been tyrannically violated if anti-vaxxers are not allowed to blockade cities and bridges for weeks on end. https://t.co/YUdsSJkBLl — PolitiTweet.org

Possible good news: The disinformers who are busy misrepresenting no-injury policing in Ottawa as a Canadian Tiananmen Square ... might otherwise use their time and platforms to amplify Russian propaganda against Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Except for an oddball handful, most Republicans in Congress actually support almost all elements of Biden Ukraine policy. That US policy will be more persuasive if visibly backed by all parties. Why sabotage security with fake partisanship, when there's no real disagreement? — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

Very possible that by March 1, Europe will be plunged by Putin into most violent conflict since ex-Yugoslav civil wars of 1990s, or even maybe since 1945. Time for Republican members of Congress to cut the hijinx and act with the dignity of legislators, not as childish trolls. — PolitiTweet.org
