The other day, my dad was like "why don't they just Emergency Act all the gang leaders and freeze their bank accounts?" and I am honestly not sure why that's not on the table.

Gangs and ordinary criminals don't threaten The State. Good, productive citizens, seriously & effectively protesting the abuses & overreach of The State are the serious threat.

@AndreasKarakas

People don't stand for lack of due process, especially when good people get caught up in it. 2nd the Gov makes millions on dirty business, 3rd politicians are for sale, and very little in it for them to act solve anything meaningful. 4th personal risk starting that wood chipper!

Because that is a flagrant violation of their charter rights. If found guilty in a court of law perhaps it warrants discussion, however without a trial well I think one can see how that may become a tactic that is abused.

To add to this ... the Cullen Commission basically said Canada has a massive, out-of-control money laundering problem that's intermingled with the real estate and gaming sectors, and law enforcement lacks the proper framework / national strategies / tools to address it. Hmmmm.

Ditto for the Fentanyl dealers. How was "the prospect of potential violence" the threshold for invoking the act, when people die every day in Canada from drug-trade related activities and our justice system has shown it can't handle the tasks at hand.

Mr McCullough asks a very good question. If you are prepared to suspend the rule of law to procure Tow Trucks @davidlametti - why not suspend it to deal with all violent crime in Canada? You have undermined the very foundations of our legal system.

If criminals aren't registering their illegal firearms I'm sure their not putting their criminally obtained money in the bank ,only honest people tell the government everything they have why do you think it's so easy for them to do to us whatever they want without reprisal

"Gang leaders" aren't dumb enough to try to grind the country to a halt to force their will upon us all. Gang leaders didn't get covid bailouts for their business which they could use to drive to Ottawa.

Because our rules were written back in a time that people understood the importance of limited government and the due process of law. The Romans had an equivalent of the emergencies act. They called it dictatorship.

Gang leaders still have rights, rights to due process, rights to a fair trial, rights to have a warrant granted by a judge before searching the home, just like the EA was not needed for the protest, its also not needed for regular law enforcement. We don't in North Korea, Yet
