Really have no idea what the invoking of the emergencies act is supposed to do here, i guess we will get details later, but the last guy to use it (it replaced the War measures act) was papa T in relation to the FLQ crisis when actual real domestic terrorists were kidnapping and killing members of government.
This is not that.

I have a memory of the military being used at the Oka crisis in the 90s.
