Trudeau says trucker protest threat is over, ends emergency powers and lifts freeze on bank accounts
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced at a media briefing Wednesday that the threat from trucker protests is over and that he was rescinding the emergency powers used to quell the occupation.
Bank accounts that were frozen to help the government tamp down the protests are also reportedly in the process of being released from the emergency action.
“We were very clear that the use of the emergencies act would be limited in time,” said Trudeau.
