Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to trucker protests, calling the move a “last resort” as law enforcement in Ottawa have warned demonstrators of “imminent” action.“Invoking the emergencies act is not something that we do lightly,” Trudeau said in the House of Commons Thursday, blocks from the protests. “It’s not the first option, or even the second or the third. It is a last resort.”“We did it to protect families and small businesses, to protect jobs and the economy,” the embattled PM said. “We did it because the situation could not be dealt with under any other law in Canada.”
