Justice Paul Rouleau’s report found Doug Ford’s Ontario government was absent, the protests were unsafe and there were policing failures
found Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was justified in his unprecedented decision to declare a national emergency in response to last winter’s anti-government, anti-vaccine mandate protests that gridlocked Ottawa and jammed several border crossings.
He said unsafe environment is illustrated by the fact that vehicles blocked designated emergency lanes, even when convoy leaders tried to keep them clear, which could have led to “a real catastrophe,” Justice Rouleau concluded. Justice Rouleau chief criticisms were directed at the Ottawa Police Service. He identified numerous issues in the response of the lead police agency, including “serious deficiencies” in how the service used social media and other online information.
His report takes particular issue with Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government, which he said was largely absent until the protests spread beyond the country’s capital, to the Ambassador Bridge border crossing with the United States. Justice Paul Rouleau issued 56 recommendations for governments and police. One of the key recommendations was to sever the link between the Emergencies Act and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act. The Emergencies Act relies on the CSIS Act definition for “threats to the security of Canada.”
