South Korea President Yoon declares martial law

but they'll say that no matter what won't they? Like the only way to convince the right something is not a powergrab is to let them have their way.

Of course everyone on the right didn't like it, because "Fuck Trudeau" is the extent of their political understanding. It was overkill in hindsight, but in the moment, with the capital paralyzed and armed terrorists in Coutts, some benefit of the doubt must be given.

As a Canadian, I can assure you everyone on the right considered it a corrupt, powergrab. Whether or not you agree is of course up to you, but it's not a clear sky case

Canada invoked the Emergencies Act in 2022 when the national capital was occupied by a convoy of antivaxers who shut down the city for days. There was some debate as to whether it was necessary and there was an inquiry afterward. The main reason for invoking it was to allow the federal government to use law enforcement since the Ottawa municipal police mostly sat on its hands during the whole debacle.

Is Martial law ever declared in a non-corrupt, power-grabbing way?
