The 2,000-page report calls the “Freedom Convoy” a “singular moment in history” exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as online misinformation and disinformation. Rouleau says he does not accept the testimony of protest organizers who described the demonstrations as lawful and peaceful. The report details Rouleau’s analysis of the evidence presented during public hearings last fall, and makes 56 recommendations directed at improving police operations and the use of the act itself.
