'This is terrifying': What Justin Trudeau is doing in Canada is 'insane'

It is "insane" what Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is now doing, says Sky News host Rowan Dean.

"Justin Trudeau has declared an emergency act," Mr Dean said.

"The strongest and most repressive tool in his government to try and silence and starve these people – to stop them getting their hands on their own money, to stop them getting petrol, to stop them getting food."

Mr Trudeau said the powers were needed to quell the continuing Freedom Convoy protests.

"This is terrifying," Mr Dean said.
