When the people fear their government, there is tyranny, when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

URGENT COMMUNITY ACTION
If the Emergencies Act is approved in Parliament, it must THEN be passed in the Senate.
PLEASE WRITE TO ALL SENATORS. EMAIL MUST GO OUT BY FRIDAY AT LATEST. ALL EMAIL ADDRESSES ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LETTER. ALL EMAILS CAN BE SENT IN ONE MESSAGE. Please write to them asap. ONLY TAKES 1 MINUTE TO DO.
Sample letter below. Please share and encourage everyone you know to write to them:
Dear Senators,
As you are aware, our Prime Minister has proposed the Emergencies Act which must first be passed in Parliament and then through the Senate.
As a Canadian citizen, I implore you NOT to pass this Act. Why?
1) Section 2 (c) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the freedom of “peaceful assembly.” [1] It is one of the fundamental freedoms protected in the Charter.
2) The Emergency Act is meant to protect the “safety and security of the individual, the protection of the values of the body politic and the preservation of the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of the state are fundamental obligations of government; AND WHEREAS the fulfillment of those obligations in Canada may be seriously threatened by a national emergency.”
The truckers are not preventing the government from getting on with the business of governing. No Ottawa citizen or member of Parliament are being “seriously threatened.” The truckers are protecting the values and freedoms of Canadian citizens that are slowly being eroded, and preserving their rights of bodily autonomy and medical sovereignty. The truckers’ peaceful protest does not meet the threshold for a “national emergency” as defined in the Act.
3) These hard-working Freedom Convoy Truckers—the ones who deliver our food and other goods day in and day out-- have been peaceful, respectful and law-abiding. They are not violent nor have they destroyed property. On the contrary, they have cleared the streets of snow and garbage, and crime in the City of Ottawa has plummeted since their arrival.
4) As per the request of the Ottawa police, the Convoy has left a lane open for emergency vehicles. They have stopped the honking of horns.
5) Theirs is a simple, common sense request at the 2-year mark of this “pandemic”—stop all COVID restrictions which have negatively impacted our children, our economy, our health and our society; restrictions which have been shown to have little, if any, impact on “flattening the curve”.
6) The pandemic is over. Omicron creates mild symptoms. It’s time to resume normal life once again without fear.
7) Our hospitals are not overwhelmed.
8) These patriotic men and women have left their homes and family for a cause that is held dearly by the majority of Canadians. Several polls showed support of over 85% (in ending mandates). They have inspired a nationwide and international movement in the drive for freedom. All national and global attention sits squarely on Canada at this historical moment in time. Where will each of you take your seat in history.
Many countries, states and jurisdictions which have lifted all COVID restrictions.
Senators, there is no need to escalate what is currently a civil, peaceful, legal protest (albeit with vehicles illegally parked and ticketed). There is a practical political solution. It just needs adequate time and patience to unfold. Please allow it to come to its logical conclusion rather than creating yet another stain on our Canadian history by passing the Emergencies Act. You have the power to change things for the better.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,
Here are the senators' email addresses which you can copy & paste into your email.

Dr Byram Bridle's presentation at the doctor's debate. He does an excellent job of exposing that the emperor has no clothes.
Three of the leading doctors behind the governments public health response to the covid-19 pandemic, including Dr Theresa Tam, were invited to defend the government's position in a debate in Ottawa on Feb11 with three doctors representing the freedom convoy (Drs. Byram Bridle, Roger Hodkinson & Paul Alexander).
None of the government's doctors, whose salaries are paid for with public money, were willing to show up and defend their positions to the public, let alone even have the decency to respond to the debate invitation.
