Breaking: Doug Ford ‘abandoned’ Ottawa’s residents, Emergencies Act report finds
OTTAWA—A delay by Ontario Premier Doug Ford to engage in discussions about how to end so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests paralyzing the national capital last year amounted to a message that city residents had been abandoned by their provincial government during a time of crisis, a federal report concluded Friday.
Squabbling between police agencies, and Ontario’s refusal to participate in political-level talks aimed at finding a solution to the crisis in Ottawa compounded the problem — and it was “troubling” that Ontario’s political leaders took so long to engage, Rouleau wrote. “The commission would have greatly benefited from the perspective that their testimony could provide.”
It was a revelation of a rare point of tension between the two leaders who had built up considerable goodwill in the years both had been in office.
