BREAKING: Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s lack of early engagement in Freedom Convoy protests 'troubling,' commission report finds
The report, which was published by the Public Order Emergency Commission on Friday, also found a lack of collaboration by the Ontario government impacted jurisdictional and resourcing issues in the early days of the occupation.
The report concluded the Ford government only increased their engagement more than a week later, when protesters started blocking the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, resulting in potential financial and trade repercussions.Protesters rolled into the capital on the weekend of Jan. 28, 2022, blocking several roads around Parliament Hill.
The commission found that Ontario’s refusal to participate in tripartite discussions with Ottawa and the federal government was based on the view that the convoy was “protesting a federal vaccine mandate on Parliament’s doorstep,” meaning the responsibility for resolving the situation fell largely on Trudeau’s shoulders.“While Ontario sent representatives to the staff table, it was absent at the political table,” Rouleau wrote.
