The Emergencies Act inquiry is ending with a bang today. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was one of the last federal government figures to hit the stand, a conversation 10 months in the making. He outlined his major criticisms with Ottawa Police during February’s demonstration, saying they fumbled the football from Opening Day and further justified the feds’ decision to deploy the Emergencies Act. We also heard a tense phone call between Trudeau and Ontario’s Premier, as Trudeau urged Doug Ford to step in and take control of the protests at the Ambassador Bridge. A full breakdown of today’s events is on the way in Hour 1. Meantime, a major service outage caused stress levels to rise in Renfrew County, especially if you were trying to dial 9-1-1. Plus, Tuesday’s meeting about reinstating mandatory mask mandates at OCDSB schools had more screaming than voting. On Thursday, the debate resumed and a verdict was reached, as the motion resulted in a tie.
