Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said he will be filing a court challenge against the Liberal government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act, saying it is unnecessary, disproportionate, and an intrusion into provincial jurisdiction.
In a video posted on Twitter, Kenney said the federal government’s decision to invoke the act, which gives authorities additional powers to oust protesters in Ottawa opposing COVID-19 mandates and restrictions, may violate civil liberties and sets a “dangerous precedent” for the future.
