.SusanDelacourt: How can Doug Ford skip testifying at the Emergencies Act inquiry? via torontostar
Many mysterious characters drifted into Ottawa during last winter’s convoy protest. Three days into the public hearings on that event, the most mysterious actor to emerge so far is Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
“Yes, I stood shoulder to shoulder with the prime minister,” Ford said on Monday about whether he supported the declaration of an emergency in February. “We’ve worked collaboratively with the mayor and the prime minister.” Ontario, for instance, simply did not show up at proposed “tripartite” meetings with the City of Ottawa and federal government — a point that provoked frustration from mayor Watson and federal Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair, the inquiry heard.
But there’s another mystery — Ford and the Ontario Provincial Police are not on the same page about whether Trudeau needed to invoke the emergency legislation. But Ford, unlike Trudeau and Watson, isn’t a witness. “I’ve not been asked,” the premier said flatly when reporters asked why he won’t be making an appearance before Rouleau.
Lawyer Paul Champ teasingly told the hearing on Monday that we’re going to hear evidence of how French regarded the convoy protesters as “patriots.” Presumably Ford didn’t see them the same way. Or does he?
