I've just read all 270+ pages of the #POEC vol 1 so you don't have to

tldr; Ottawa incompetency at both provincial federal levels combined with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rhetoric that hardened the freedom protests resolve, lead to a national emergency...

yet the threat didn't qualify as a threat under the CSIS act as it is written in the act itself but Justice Rouleau interpretation of the emergency act

I'd imagine this interpretation of the act would be successfully challenged on appeal had this been an actual court of law
Justice Paul Rouleau in my estimation should never have weighed in on the justification of the act as he was not required to. As he was always seen to be politically bias due to his ties to the liberal party.
Eva Chipiuk has commented several weeks ago that all lawyers at that level have some political affiliation. Whether or not that played a role only Justice Rouleau can answer
However questions remains to why the report was to be advanced to Justin Trudeau two weeks before it was to be tabled to cabinet which was essentially walked back due to public pressure
The were some bias's in the report itself. The character assassination's of the organizers of the protest. The harm caused to the citizens of Ottawa were in my estimation embellished. There were a few quips at convoy Lawyer Keith Wilson that i didn't find objective
The criticism of the federal government were soft and most of the blame was placed blame at the feet of the province of Ontario
I'm unsatisfied with the reports glossing over the freezing of bank accounts and in the same breath the report casts doubts whether they were needed
More emphasis of communication between the federal government and the protestors themselves would have gone a long way to solving this before it became a crisis

1/15 #LONG 🧵

Frontier Centre for Public Policy, an award-winning western Canadian based public policy think tank released a rebuk to the #POEC report titled
"The Strange Conclusions of Justice Paul Rouleau"

#cdnpolitics
2/15 In the #POEC response Justice Rouleau states:
“concluded that the very high level threshold required for the invocation of the (Emergencies) Act was met.- I do not consider the factual basis for it to be overwhelming" Image
3/15 During the #POEC hearings, the RCMP, CSIS, OPP, and Ottawa Police Service testified that the protesters did not pose a threat to national security and that the Emergencies Act was not warranted Image

#POEC report

Public Safety developed a proposal for direct engagement between protesters in Ottawa and the Federal Government. A face-to-face meeting between protest leaders and federal officials had the potential to give the protesters a “win”
This would allow them to leave feeling that they had accomplished something

The OPS had identified six individuals with whom they believed they could engage
RCMP Commissioner Lucki raised concerns about the proposal. In particular, she suggested that it might interfere with police operational independence and that it was premature

Big theme in the #POEC report is the utter incompetence of the OPS failing to address the Hendon report but i have yet to see any flags at the federal level in this report being raised. This protest was driving across provincial lines to Ottawa. Why wasn't Ottawa concerned?
Reviewing the text message from Minister of Public Safety Marco Mendicino they knew the convoy was coming two days prior to their arrival in Ottawa as they were detailing plans how to exploit this event for political purposes
This is a huge indictment at the federal level

Their plan to scope this protest akin to the US Jan 6th failed due to social media

The sharing of videos of dancing, comradery and bouncy castles emerged and destroyed the federal narrative
