Freedom Convoy 2022. Was the Emergencies Act Justifiable? Was Media Accurate? Two Perspectives

Author: Michael Welch February 2, 2024 Duration: 59:01
This week on the Global Research News Hour we mark the two year anniversary of the arrival of the Canadian Freedom Convoy of truckers into Ottawa by speaking to two people with opposing viewpoints on the way the Convoy was treated by Federal government officials and on the recent ruling by Judge Mosley that the Emergencies Act violated their rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Our guests are Brenda Knight of the Centretown Community Health Centre and co-chair of the Ottawa Peoples Committee on the Convoy Occupation, and Kristen Nagle, one of the named Plaintiffs in the Federal Court examining the Charter Rights of the Trucker Convoy supporters.
