The hashtag #TrudeauTryanny took the internet by storm Friday, with social media users posting memes and videos railing against Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his invocation of the Emergencies Act against protesters in Ottawa.
Internet uproar began promptly after the prime minister announced the use of the Emergencies Act for the first time in the country’s history. Trudeau enlisted police to help break up the anti-vaccine mandate protests by arresting demonstrators and towing trucks.
Radio host Tara Servatius drew a comparison between Canada’s leader and George Orwell’s 1984, writing, “From 2 weeks to stop the spread to we’re freezing your bank account for wrongthink donations … in just two years.”
She referenced the Emergencies Act’s authorization of the government to freeze private bank accounts without court orders.
