"For the safety of our electoral process and to protect democracy, we must put on hold the next election. There's too much at stake for Canadians to be confused with all the misinformation, malinformation and disinformation we are seeing online.

To quickly return to normalcy, we will evoke the Emergency Act as a way to fight back against the extremist movement. This will enable the government to take the necessary steps to normalise and bring civility back to the political discourse."
