Chrystia Freeland claims the freezing of bank accounts three days before the Emergency Order was “to provide an incentive to leave” and therefore “avoid blood on a face of a child”. This is disgusting and disingenuous.

Alan Honner: President Biden, who is probably the world’s most powerful person, had a telephone call with the Prime Minister. And that telephone call, it happened on a Friday. By Monday, the Emergencies Act was invoked. Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland: That’s true.

Handwritten notes on a discussion with an undisclosed other by Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland show us how they really feel about democracy: “You need to designate the group [of protestors] as a terrorist group.”

The fascist tyrants never think they are the fascist tyrants

The “liberal” government (dirty fascists) won with the lowest margin ever. 32.6% of the popular vote. they were mandated to do NOTHING. They were barely tolerated. you are the illegitimate, authoritarian, fascist regime you rage against.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said of the Freedom Convoy, “I will never support negotiating with those who hold our democracy hostage.”

The fascist @JustinTrudeau government invoked the Emergencies Act, assaulted protesters, froze bank accounts to show America that Canada was not a banana republic. And in so doing, proved that Canada is a banana republic. A life of shame for @cafreeland. She deserves nothing less

Freedom Convoy lawyer Brendan Miller just walks away after asking Chrystia Freeland if it would look really bad internationally if the Nazi flags are linked back to her government.

“Yes it was” Chrystia Freeland responds when asked if she relied on news articles because “there was no information the government had in relation to foreign funding [of the Freedom Convoy protest] at the time the declaration of emergency”

Alluding to enormous pressure from the US, @TDF_can lawyer Alan Honner explains to Chrystia Freeland that after President Biden called Prime Minister Trudeau on a Friday, “by Monday the Emergencies Act was invoked.” “That’s true,” replies Chrystia Freeland.

Chrystia Freeland speaking at the Public Order Emergency Commission appears to put on a very quick emotional act while claiming she has a duty to Canadians.

Chrystia Freeland dodges an answer on whether Health Canada advised her to enact federal regulations [vaccine mandates]. “I’m not going to speak to specific moments that we had advice.”

Question to Chrystia Freeland based on a text sent to her from Alex Lawrence: “Were you concerned that small donors [to Freedom Convoy] were being captured by these [financial] measures?”

Lawyer Alan Honner: “And that telephone call with Biden, it happened on a Friday and by the Monday the Emergencies Act was invoked” Chrystia Freeland: “That’s true.” So Joe Biden pushed Trudeau to invoke the Emergencies ACT.

“I don’t think it’s healthy for any democracy for policy to be made at gun point.” Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland describes the Freedom Convoy as an “occupation on our democracy” and that she would never negotiate with the protesters.

Chrystia Freeland testifying at the Public Order Emergency Commission says she’s “not going to define what a protest is.”

The commission reveals that Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland replied with, “Couldn’t agree more,” after receiving a memo suggesting the use of the military at border crossings even “after the protesters are removed to send a clear signal.”

Chrystia Freeland speaking at the Public Order Emergency Commission this morning says Joe Biden is “the most important elected leader in the world” and calls him a “very busy guy.”

Lawyer Alan Honner: “And that telephone call with Biden, it happened on a Friday and by the Monday the Emergencies Act was invoked” Chrystia Freeland: “That’s true.”

Discussing a text exchange with the American owner of a Hamilton-based steel company, Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland says the “immediate conclusion” to border blockades was that “the Americans are going to respond by cutting us out” of trade.

“I will never support negotiating with those who held our democracy hostage,” wrote Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland in a doc presented to the commission. “I don’t think it’s healthy for any democracy for policy to be made at gunpoint, if you will.”

Did @cafreeland just point to her ear and hot mic “I can’t hear” to her lawyers??

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland describes feeling that Canada was a “powder keg” and fearing violence. She recalls feeling impacted by seeing a woman get honked at.

Chrystia Freeland looks guilty. She breaths a major sigh of relief after she realizes that she doesn’t have to answer the question. “…if it turns out that those (Nazi) flags were linked to your government….”

The Trudeau gov’t would have “overwhelmingly preferred” not to invoke the Emergencies Act, testifies Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland. She claims this was “everyone’s preference,” despite invoking the “measure of last resort” after blockades in Coutts & Windsor ended.

Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland was told a “direct quote” from an investor to a CEO of a Canadian bank saying, “I won’t invest another red cent in your banana republic in Canada.” Freeland describes it as a “heart stopping quote.”

Chrystia Freeland “only wanted to assert things that were true” during the Freedom Convoy and that “It was really important for us to maintain public confidence of Canadians in their government, including the confidence of Canadians who disagreed with us.”

Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland gets emotional over recalling how investors were considering Canada a “banana republic,” and that in her role as deputy PM and finance minister, she “had to protect Canadians” because their “well-being was being really, really damaged.”

Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland tells the commission that one of the reasons why the protests and blockades had to come to an end was due to the “possibly irreparable harm to our trading relationship with the United States.”

Chrystia Freeland claims the freezing of Canadian bank accounts was to provide “economic incentives for people to leave”. She is Washington’s “prime candidate” for Secretary-General of the terrorist organization NATO.

During the Emergencies Act inquiry, Chrystia Freeland says “Having Fox News attack you isn’t a problem only because Canadians might be watching, but if you have a big US operation, it’s a problem because your American customers will be watching.”

PMO official Brian Clow tells TDF lawyer that they were “all aware” that a “certain segment” in US politics was supportive of the Freedom Convoy.

“Time was up” for the Freedom Convoy and other protests and the Emergencies Act “needed to be enacted right away,” says PMO official Brian Clow.

“The concern for us was it was direct encouragement for unlawful activity that was hugely damaging to the country,” says PMO official Brian Clow when addressing a conversation between PM Trudeau and Pres. Biden.

Katie Telford is asked about a “fake letter” that made international news and talks about a “story that was created that I was going to create a false flag operation and…blame it on the occupiers.” Telford says the info circulated on social media and in physical forms too.

The issue of solicitor-client privilege comes up yet again, as Katie Telford, Trudeau’s chief of staff, is pressed by Freedom Convoy lawyer Brendan Miller about massive redactions in gov’t documents.
