Emergencies (Enabling) Act - The Countdown

Part I of the Emergencies (Enabling) Act was to put the policing in motion. That is complete.
Part II (after the fact) is ratification by Parliament. Seems to be mostly done, still a few steps to go.
This thread will just be a spot to come to and revisit the Emergencies/Enabling Act until ALL the temporary government rights under the act are removed, and our neighbor to the North returns to what used to be Canada.
For your viewing pleasure, another view.

The House of Commons approved the invocation of Canada's Emergency Act yesterday by 185-151. The Canadian Senate started debate this morning. Senators are appointed by the Governor General, who is appointed by the Queen, with the advice of the Canadian Prime Minister. They do not stand for election, but are subject to mandatory retirement at age 75.
The Senate is current Senate is comprised of several groups:
Independent Senate Group: 42
Conservative Party: 16
Progressive Senate Group: 14
Canadian Senate Group: 13
Non-Affiliated Senators: 6
Vacant: 14
A motion to revoke the Emergency Powers can be filed by 20 members of either chamber. They can be revoked by a majority vote in either house. The Conservatives have already filed such a motion in the House of Commons. They filed it immediately after the the House of Commons voted to approve the Emergency Declaration.
The Emergency Declaration is also reviewable by the Court, as the Emergencies Act provides that it cannot be use to suspend or violate the Constitutional or the Canadian equivalent as our bill of rights. The Canadian equivalent of the ACLU and the Province of Alberta have filed suit to challenge the Declaration. The reaction of Trudeau and the other Liberals to the lawsuits was to welcome them as an important part of the process to make sure that the Declaration is consistent with the Act and the Constitution.
The youtube clip is conspiracy mongering nonsense.

You're welcome. I'm listening to the debate in Senate. One paper I read said it could go on through Friday.

Can't watch or listen right now. Got other things streaming.
Do you get the sense that this is a debate, or a formality? That is not a loaded question. It is just a question.

I honestly don't know. The biggest group of Senators purports to approach legislation on a non-partisan basis. The Conservative and Progressive groups are about the same size. So, I have no idea. If I hear something that gives me a clue, I'll post it.
ETA: When the Senators refer to the House of Commons, they call it "the other place."

If I ever own a bar, that is what I am naming it. "The Other Place"
