Day 19 of the Emergencies Act Inquiry, lawyers presented a transcript of a call between Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford that took place five days before the Emergencies Act was invoked in which the prime minister told the Ontario premier that no extra legal tools should be required to clear protesters from Ottawa and the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor.
The transcript quotes Trudeau telling Ford, “You shouldn’t need more tools, legal tools, they are barricading the economy and doing millions of damage a day” calling the protests in Ottawa “not a legal protest” because the trucks were “occupying a municipal street” and “parked illegally.” Prime Minister Trudeau called all the protestors dumb.
