I just read parts of the EMA.
Good news, under the Public Welfare Emergency section, droughts can be used to justify applying the EMA.
So this could have been used last summer during the drought.
Considering that the drought cost our economy countless times more than closing a few stores in downtown Ottawa, invoking the act definitely would have been justified in the summer of 2021.
Just think, grain and hay could have been requisitsioned and redistributed to feed starving livestock, or taken from those who actually prepare for such eventualities, and redistributed to those who vote the right way.
Anyone who profited from high prices could have had their accounts frozen, or forfeited.
Funds and products raised through grassroots campaigns as haywest could have been forfeited in case they fell into the wrong hands. After all, that could easily have been an evil plot to overthrow the government.
Equipment or services could have been requisitsioned, to transport feed or water to desperate livestock. The swat team could show up at your farm and demand that you hand over the keys to the bale truck.
Your crop insurance could be cancelled because you participated in an illegal rain dance during the drought.
What could possibly go wrong?
Now that the precedent has been set for using the act against bouncy castles, the bar is set so low, that if it doesn't rain for a week next summer, this could easily be invoked again.
