The Canadian Parliament voted Monday night to approve Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s unprecedented decision to invoke the Emergencies Act in reaction to largely peaceful protesting by trucker’s convoys at the border by a vote of 185 for and 151 against.

Reporting by broadcaster CBC indicated that politicians of the Conservative Party strongly opposed the measure, booing and shouting “shame” when others stood up to vote in favor of the motion.

Prime Minister Trudeau defended his further strengthening of the Emergencies Act, despite current reports indicating that there are no longer ongoing ‘Freedom Convoy’ protests in the country.
