Trudeau to Mumble Something At Freedom Convoy Inquiry

Laughs to be had if he goes off-script:

 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be called to testify at hearings into the government’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act to end anti-mandate protests earlier this year.

The Public Order Emergency Commission, led by former Ontario Superior Court justice Paul Rouleau, is scheduled to begin hearings next week, with the mandate to assess the government’s use of the Act for the first time since it became law in 1988. .

Although the preliminary list of approximately 60 witnesses prepared by commission counsel has yet to be made public, CTV News has learned that it includes eight cabinet ministers, including Trudeau.

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino and Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland are among those also expected to be called to testify.

 

This Justin:

 

(Sidebar: how could he? Because his younger, uglier brother produced propaganda for the Iranians. Forget about sanctions.) 


Trust the @$$hole to make his son's birthday party about him.


This Mendicino:

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino backdated government documents in an apparent bid to mislead a federal judge, records show. Mendicino did not comment. Access To Information files in the case date from 2020 when Mendicino was Minister of Immigration: “Things are on fire over here.”

 

This Freeland:

Cabinet does not have “oceans of money” to shield Canadians from the cost of living, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said yesterday. Freeland’s remarks to the Commons finance committee followed a 56 percent hike in the federal debt ceiling: “We cannot fully compensate every single Canadian family and every single Canadian business for the higher cost of inflation.”

 

This convoy:

Parliament Hill police mistakenly feared Freedom Convoy truckers were armed and would try to break into federal buildings. Legislators last night questioned why MPs and senators were permitted to walk freely among protesters if the convoy was considered violent: “I don’t recall every seeing anything come out that would make me fearful.”

The Ottawa police officer facing dismissal for donating to the Freedom Convoy protest was recognized for exemplary service in the Canadian navy and commended for assisting in a dangerous rescue as a rookie cop.

As Const. Kristina Neilson awaits her fate in an Ottawa Police Service disciplinary hearing, new details are emerging about her years of public service in the military and policing.
