The trucker commission's conclusion: government failure required giving MORE power to the feds

 

Sheila Gunn Reid discussed the Public Order Emergency Commission's findings that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was justified in invoking the Emergencies Act to end the trucker convoy protests of January and February 2022.

Sheila discussed Commissioner Paul Rouleau's comments on the release of the commission's report, including his conclusion that the use of the Emergencies Act could have been avoided. "Rouleau said today in a roundabout way, without actually ever saying it, that it was a failure of police and the government that according to him, necessitated giving over extraordinary powers to the police and government," Sheila commented.
