The Public Order Emergency Commission has concluded that the federal government met the threshold for invoking the Emergencies Act to bring an end to the “Freedom Convoy” protests and blockades.
“I have concluded that in this case, the very high threshold for invocation was met.

The commission found that while the prime minister met this bar for invoking wide-sweeping powers to address the anti-COVID-19 restrictions and anti-government Ottawa occupation and blockages at key Canada-U.S. border crossings, this move could have been avoided if it wasn’t for “a series of policing failures” and all levels of government failing to “rise above politics.”
