With the federal government invoking the Emergencies Act for the first time since its adoption in 1988, Nate is joined by national security experts Leah West and Wesley Wark on the question of whether the Act is a justified response to the illegal blockades across our country.
Dr. Leah West is a professor at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University, the co-author of the textbook National Security Law, and one of the hosts of the Intrepid Podcast. She previously served as Counsel with the Department of Justice in the National Security Litigation and Advisory Group, and before that she served in the Armed Forces for ten years as an armoured officer.
