OTTAWA — The mayor of Windsor, Ont., will testify today at a public inquiry into the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act to clear ‘Freedom Convoy’ protesters blockading streets around Parliament Hill and several border crossings.
Protesters decrying COVID-19 mandates moved in on the Ambassador Bridge on the evening of Feb. 7, setting off alarm bells on both sides of the Windsor-Detroit link — the busiest border crossing between Canada and the U.S. According to the city’s timeline of events, Mendicino texted Dilkens later that morning about the situation.
The afternoon of Feb. 14 is when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he would invoke the never-before-used Emergencies Act to deal with ‘Freedom Convoy’ protests. Details of the Windsor police’s perspective on the blockade are also contained in the summary of an interview its interim police chief, Jason Bellaire, gave to the commission in August which has been entered into evidence.
