The public inquiry into the greatest overreach of Canadian govt powers is now under way, as the Public Order Emergencies Commission hearings will hear 65 witnesses (see list below) to determine whether the Trudeau govt was justified in invoking the never-used Emergencies Measures Act Feb. 14 against the peaceful Freedom Convoy.

Will the inquiry be just another formality with no accountability given to govt and law enforcement officials or will a semblance of freedom, democracy and justice be served?

Public hearings will begin on Thursday, October 13 and run until Friday, November 25. The hearings will take place every weekday except on Remembrance Day, Friday Nov 11. The hearings will begin at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time each day and may run until 6 p.m. or later if required.
