The Trudeau government told Canadians that the Freedom Convoy was a group of violent protesters bent on overthrowing the government. They told Canadians that war-time measures were needed to quash the protest and invoked the Emergencies Act, giving law enforcement extraordinary powers to crack down on Canadians.
Unfortunately for the government, their rationale for invoking the never-before-used act has fallen flat on its face because of testimonials given at the Public Order Emergency Commission in recent weeks.
Criminal defence attorney Ari Goldkind, who openly admits he was no supporter of the convoy, says the government’s narrative doesn’t add up and that the Emergencies Act was not justified. Ari joins The Rupa Subramanya Show to share his thoughts on the inquiry and what Canadians can expect when the commission makes its ruling.
