Ottawa’s fumbled messaging on COVID-19 vaccine mandate spurred Freedom Convoy: report
Rouleau’s task included exploring what contributed to the fervour that saw thousands of demonstrators take over the streets around Parliament Hill and block several border crossings with the United States.
He based his findings on hundreds of hours of testimony and thousands of documents submitted as evidence during the Public Order Emergency Commission’s hearings last fall.Rouleau’s final report says that although the inquiry was not focused on the government response to COVID-19, Canadians felt confused by some of the messaging from officials.
It singles out an error by the border services agency last January, when it released a statement saying unvaccinated Canadian truckers would not need to quarantine after crossing the border, only to issue a correction reversing that position the next day.
