I think it would be fun if you was just honest about what the nation emergency was.

Everyone is asking if the convoys occupation of Ottawa was/wasn't a nation emergency. It doesn't matter, the Police refusing to do their job was the national emergency. If the enforcement arm of our laws openly refuses to take direction from the representative arm that absolutely is an emergency every time.

But I guess that openly throwing the police under the bus isn't going to make that problem better.

There is a concept in the social sciences that for a state to maintain power, they need to maintain a "Monopoly on violence" if others are able to organize and direct violent actions, or the state is unable to organize and direct violent actions, then they are prone to attack.

Jan 6th the Americans allowed others to organize a violent attack.
Freedumb Canadians were unable to organize violent suppression.

In both cases its the image of a weak government walking towards the edge of collapse. The emergency was to show the entire polity that the state had the ability to deliver consequences, because that was starting to become unclear.
