Canadian lawmakers extend emergency powers act for truck protests

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau listens to a question during a news conference on Monday in Ottawa. Trudeau said emergency powers are still needed despite police ending border blockades and the occupation of the nation

The act allows authorities to declare certain areas as no-go zones. It also allows police to freeze truckers' personal and corporate bank accounts and compel tow truck companies to haul away vehicles.
