Trudeau’s national security advisor Jody Thomas admitted that the Emergencies Act requirement of a “threat to the security of Canada” – which is defined by CSIS and is required to rightfully invoke the act – should be “reconsidered.”
Further, she said the government knew that CSIS did not believe the protest met the definition of a nation emergency. But instead of accepting that – which should have taken the Emergencies Act off the table since the threshold for invoking it was not met under the law – they decided to make up a new definition based on how they ‘felt’ about it:

“In NSIA Thomas’ view, it was the totality of the circumstances that led to what she considered to be the existence of a threat to the security of Canada, and therefore, [a] public order emergency.”

This stunning.
