Why China is Revolting and Why We Should be Supporting Them
Here’s what’s needed for the Emergencies Act to be justified
With the Public Order Emergency Commission’s fact-finding hearings now concluded, Commissioner Paul Rouleau has until February to deliberate and issue his report. While there is no precedent for the Emergencies Act’s use, the law spells out the threshold needed for its use to be justified.
Understanding this requires looking at the Emergencies Act as well as the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act.
The Emergencies Act details four types of emergency – a public welfare emergency, a public order emergency, an international emergency, a war emergency. When Justin Trudeau’s government invoked the act on Feb. 14, it declared a public order emergency, which means Part II of the act is the pertinent section.
Under section 16, a “public order emergency means an emergency that arises from threats to the security of Canada and that is so serious as to be a national emergency.”
This is where the CSIS Act comes in. The Emergencies Act says the term “threats to the security of Canada” “has the meaning assigned by section 2 of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act.”
In full:
- (a) espionage or sabotage that is against Canada or is detrimental to the interests of Canada or activities directed toward or in support of such espionage or sabotage,
- (b) foreign influenced activities within or relating to Canada that are detrimental to the interests of Canada and are clandestine or deceptive or involve a threat to any person,
- (c) activities within or relating to Canada directed toward or in support of the threat or use of acts of serious violence against persons or property for the purpose of achieving a political, religious or ideological objective within Canada or a foreign state, and
- (d) activities directed toward undermining by covert unlawful acts, or directed toward or intended ultimately to lead to the destruction or overthrow by violence of, the constitutionally established system of government in Canada,
The CSIS Act is clear that its definition of security threats “does not include lawful advocacy, protest or dissent” unless that protest incorporates any of the four listed activities.
While the convoy did receive donations from the United States and elsewhere, the Commission heard that the meaning of “foreign influenced activities” refers specifically to influence by foreign states, not protest sympathizers who happen to live in other countries.
Even if there exists a “threat to the security of Canada” as defined by the Emergencies Act and CSIS Act, the former requires it rise to the level of a “national emergency,” which has its own definition.
From section 3 of the Emergencies Act:
For the purposes of this Act, a national emergency is an urgent and critical situation of a temporary nature that
- (a) seriously endangers the lives, health or safety of Canadians and is of such proportions or nature as to exceed the capacity or authority of a province to deal with it, or
- (b) seriously threatens the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada and that cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada.
In the federal government’s closing arguments Friday, the government’s lawyer said that there were threats to public safety in Ottawa and other protest sites across the country. He also argued that the government considered all other alternatives under existing authorities and found them to be inadequate.
For there to be a public order emergency as defined by the Emergencies Act, there must be a threat to the security of Canada as defined by the CSIS Act, as well as a national emergency as defined by the Emergencies Act, and the situation must be outside the ability of existing laws in Canada to address.
There is a caveat in section 17(1) of the Emergencies Act, which is that the Governor in Council – the cabinet – ”believes, on reasonable grounds” that the threshold has been met.
This distinction was subject to a fair bit of scrutiny in the closing weeks of the Commission, especially with conflicting information coming from CSIS. CSIS found that there was no threat to the security of Canada as defined by the CSIS Act, but CSIS director David Vignault nonetheless recommended the invocation of the Emergencies Act.
National security and intelligence adviser Jody Thomas testified that the CSIS definition of security threats was “very narrow and outdated” and should be updated, though it is still the law of the land.
Rouleau’s report is due by statute February 20, 2023, the anniversary of the revocation of the public order emergency.

Google takes a stand against Bill C-11
Google takes a stand against Bill C-11
The tech giant Google is encouraging Canadians to learn about and oppose the Trudeau government’s Online Streaming Act, better known as Bill C-11.
Google Canada is warning Canadians that Bill C-11 will change the YouTube user experience. Google published a Twitter thread linking to a blog post as well as a petition made in collaboration with OpenMedia, pressuring the Senate to amend the bill before it is passed.
“We want to make sure that Canadians are aware of how #BillC11 could change your @YouTube experience,” reads the Twitter post, encouraging Canadians to learn more about the legislation.
Bill C-11 was passed in the House of Commons with the support of all parties except for the Conservatives and awaits the Senate’s approval of the legislation before coming into effect.
If passed, C-11 will provide the CRTC with the power to regulate online publishing, including imposing Canadian content restrictions on platforms like YouTube and Netflix, similar to the regulatory authority the CRTC currently has over Canadian radio and television broadcasts.
The CRTC is expected to skew recommended content to feature more “Canadian content.” However, the extent of their powers and what qualifies as “Canadian content” is unclear and will be determined by the CRTC after the bill’s passing.
The OpenMedia petition asserts that “the CRTC is being given breathtakingly broad authority to regulate almost ALL audiovisual content on online platforms as broadcasting content.”
“Your favourite content, and even your own uploads, could be systemically downranked in favour of content that the CRTC deems “Canadian enough,” according to their wildly outdated 1980s-era criteria.”
A blog post by YouTube’s chief product officer warns that the personalized experience YouTube curates for its users is jeopardized by the C-11, as the platform would have to alter its algorithms to comply with the government standard.
“In its current form, Bill C-11 would require YouTube to manipulate these systems, and surface content according to the CRTC’s priorities, rather than the interests of Canadian users,” reads the blog post.
“Put into practice, this means that when viewers come to the YouTube homepage, they’re served content that a Canadian Government regulator has prioritized, rather than content they are interested in.”
Google has been vocal about its opposition to the legislation, voicing its concerns throughout the legislative process about the Trudeau government’s effort to regulate user-generated content.
While the Senate can make amendments to Bill C-11, the House of Commons is not obligated to accept the amendments, and the legislation would be given Royal Assent as it is.
