They used the Emergencies Act, which is supposed to be used to keep the country safe from terrorism. This was obviously not terrorism, albeit very heavy-handed. This was a police matter to clear them, not something they should have gone through FINTRAC.
The issue is that they can pretty much do whatever they want as long as they have majority, similar to the USA PATRIOT act of 2001.
It's an obvious overreach of the legislation arm.
