Trudeau gave provincial and local authorities more than enough time to handle this themselves, which they already had all the authority to do, but they refused. So instead of trying for more court orders, which would have probably been ignored like the previous ones, he swung the meanest looking hammer he could find. It's already worked quickly to breakup the Coutts blockade, hopefully the Ottawa occupation won't be far behind
Yet many complain about Trudeau over reaching, as if those same people wouldn't still be complaining today about him doing nothing had he not used the emergency act. For a lot of people there is no way he can win, anything he does is the wrong move, so I applaud him for at least making the hard choice this time to get things back to normal as quickly as possible
