Do you remember the Stephen Sondheim song Send in the Clowns? It should have been the theme song for the recently completed Emergencies Act inquiry. Talk about an all rats abandon ship moment. What I got out of it was a chorus of, “It wasn’t me, maybe someone else,” and my all-time favourite about lawyer-client privilege. Or, in plain terms, move along, nothing to see here.Article content
Perhaps the most telling thing to come out of the inquiry was the Ottawa Police Service’s hesitance to uphold the law. I guess the rights of law breakers trump those of law-abiding citizens? Hey, is that the John Lennon song Gimme Some Truth playing in the background?Justice Minister David Lametti admitted that the government didn’t use the legal definition in its decision to invoke the Emergencies Act. There you have it … they were not within their right to use it.
The whole inquiry stunk of another scandal that Justin Trudeau might get a pass on. Not good enough. Let me remind everyone that, when lackeys like Lametti cite “solicitor-client” privilege, it’s Canadians who are the clients and not the politicians. We pay the bills, we decide who sits in Parliament, so, when we ask for the rationale for decisions that affect us, then we had damned well better get them.
