Trudeau’s announcement he’s lifting Emergencies Act speaks volumes. No Freedom Convoy protester was charged with anything more severe than conspiracy to commit mischief. So the govt’s claims of a threat of sedition was disinformation. 1/4
If there had ever been a credible threat that any of the arrested protesters were engaged in an attempt to violently overthrow the constitution, they would have been charged. They were not. 2/4
If there were any hint that any of the truckers & supporters, including the ones now demonstrating in Winnipeg & Quebec City, were potentially violent, Trudeau would be keeping the Act in place. He is not. 3/4
So, with no dangers still in existence, it must be the case that the government knew this all along, and the claims of sedition made in the justice minister’s explanatory document were just a lie. 4/4
