The War Measures Act (enacted in August 1914, replaced by the EmergenciesAct in 1988) was a Canadian statute that allowed the government to assume sweeping emergency powers.
When the act was invoked, citizens could be arrested and imprisoned without the benefit of trial or even a stated explanation.
The Act compelled enemy aliens to register with the government and was used against Ukrainian Canadians, Germans and Slavs in World War I and Italian, German and Japanese Canadians in World War II (as well as, ironically, some Jews of German origin).
ACT, a global coalition of churches and faith-based humanitarian agencies, coordinates disaster response and funnels donations from member agencies to the agency actually doing work on the ground.
ACT members are supporting the affected population by providing food and non food relief items, agriculture inputs, rehabilitation of wells and latrines and disaster preparedness training.
The ACT intervention addresses food insecurity at the household level, with activities geared to get families back into production in order to secure their livelihood and self dependency, and to improve their nutritional status.
