James Bauder: "We already won by coming here in unity. The MoU meant nothing". #POEC
Bauder: "Every other opportunity to talk to this government had failed".
Paul Champ, lawyer for Ottawa residents coalition and Zexi Li: "That's right". 🤡🔨 #POEC
Paul Champ, the lawyer, asks Convoy organizer, Bauder "Were your rights more important than the rights of businesses and residents of Ottawa". Loaded question. Everyone's rights are protected under the constitution. It's not either or. #POEC
Paul Champ asks Bauder, referencing Operation Bear Hug: "To what extent did your faith inspire to come up with the tactics for the convoy". Bauder is a devout Christian. Loaded question again. Did Trudeau's faith affect his decisions to impost vaccine mandates, etc? #WTF #POEC
Champ is now asking Bauder regarding his past views on Islam. What this has to do with the Emergencies Act is beyond me. #POEC
Paul Champ is self-destructing. He's clearly out of his depth. Like watching a train wreck in slo mo. Quite something to witness. #POEC
.@PaulChampLaw alleged James Bauder had made Islamophobic comments in the past. Somehow, we weren't provided any evidence of that. That bit of the cross examination was bizarre, irrelevant and went nowhere. What was the point even? 😬 #POEC

Brendan Miller, lawyer for the convoy: "Not a single witness alleged to have suffered violence at the hands of the protestors that the protestors are being collectively blamed for has been presented to the inquiry". Exactly. #POEC
Ottawa Coalition lawyer argues lack of evidence that witnesses suffered violence at the hands of the protesters doesn't mean it didn't happen.
"Lack of evidence doesn't mean you can't infer it didn't happen." What kind of a kangaroo court is this?Are we in North Korea?🤡 #POEC
Lawyers for the police (OPS, OPP) desperate attempts to keep videos out of the hearing of alleged police brutality and witnesses who can attest to that have failed. Commissioner allows more evidence and witnesses. #POEC

Tamara Lich:"I was frustrated by the mandates.Families were being torn apart.Many suicides in my hometown. Elderly were dying by themselves. I was becoming increasingly alarmed with my PM saying I was racist and that I shouldn't be tolerated. I found his rhetoric divisive." #POEC
Tamara Lich says initial target was to raise $100,000. Barber had suggested $200,000. She felt this would be impossible to raise. As it turned out, they managed to raise through Go Fund Me nearly $8 million in less than 10 days. #POEC.
Lich: "I have the tears of thousands of Canadians on my shoulder who told me every day that we were bringing them hope." #POEC

"You agree hate speech has been codified in the criminal code, right?"
"@ikwilson : Yes I find the PM's hate speech towards the unvaccinated and saying how do we deal with these people deeply troubling". Boom. #POEC
"What do you think was the goal of the Freedom Convoy"?
Pat King: "To go and protest, to exercise your democratic right, to be heard by politicians..." #POEC
At the public inquiry, noteworthy that the only two people in the room masked are the legal counsel for Zexi Li. Recall, her lawyer also has a "tax the rich" label on his laptop.🙂 #POEC

Chris Barber, Freedom Convoy organizer: "Parking all over the city on the main streets was never our plan. Our plan was to use Majors Hill and Confederate Parks as staging areas." #POEC
The WEF and Finance Minister and Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland sitting on its advisory board makes its way into the public inquiry into the Emergencies Act. Recall, this is where you read it first. 🙂 #POEC nationalpost.com/opinion/rupa-s…

OPS intell assessment, Jan 28: "Freedom Convoy is less of a professional protest with the usual sad players but rather a truly organic grassroots movement gathering momentum largely from the widespread population."So much for it being orchestrated by Putin, Trump, etc. #POEC
Bell: "What was known the day before (Jan 27), we were starting to get numbers of trucks etc.The overall activity of the group moving across was extremely lawful, extremely law abiding."

Bear in mind the media was at this point calling them violent insurrectionists. #POEC
OPS intelligence assessment (Jan 28): "There is significant popular support for this event [Freedom Convoy] on a scale not seen in recent years. " So much for Trudeau's "fringe minority". #POEC

Mayor Jim Watson: "Then they brought the hot tubs in. It was a horrific situation". 😂 #POEC
Mayor Jim Watson: "Swastika and confederate flags were swirling all over the place." Yes they were swirling everywhere which is why I didn't see a single one over the course of three weeks, and we have the same couple of stock photos that keep circulating. #POEC
Watson is asked if his description of what was happening on the ground as "hooliganism", "criminal activity" was accurate, he says, "Absolutely. If you just go back and look at the media coverage."Recall,Trudeau govt referred to CBC stories to defend using the EA. Shameful. #POEC
