DEM Professor Jack L. Rozdilsky wrote an article that was published in The Conversation, titled “Canada in crisis: Why Justin Trudeau has invoked the Emergencies Act to end trucker protests”, where he discussed why the prime minister has invoked the act and what it means for the country.

“In the end, all disasters are political. There will be an examination of why it took so long to invoke the Emergencies Act.
