Doug Ford's lawyers argued that he couldn't testify at the EA Inquiry because he has a day job.

And yet during the entire week of testimony he didn't even bother to show up at his day job in the #Ontario legislature. Not one day.

All of which brings me to (in my admittedly meandering & roundabout way - you can see how these things get up 100 posts) to Prime Minister Trudeau's testimony before the #EmergenciesActInquiry (heretofore referred to as the #EAInquiry) and what remains to be done if we indeed want to prevent anything similar from ever happening again.

(hint: the EAI on its own ain't gonna cut it)

@chad I completely agree. I don't see there was any other solution than the #EmergenciesAct , unfortunately. I live in Ottawa, know people who had to leave their home in the red zone during the occupation, and followed along with the #EAInquiry every day. I felt such relief when the feds stepped up to clear it. I can't see me ever truly forgiving Ottawa police or Ontario leadership for inaction.

@chad
I completely agree.
#EAInquiry

I absolutely agree. If anything has come out of the #EAInquiry it's that the #EmergenciesAct was entirely necessary.

Glad there were grown-ups at the federal level in charge during the #OttawaOccupation and #CouttsBlockade.

Can't say the same for the provincial level in #Ontario or #Alberta, though.

Testimony from the #EAInquiry: Rebel News circulated a photo showing country music singer Paul Brant helicoptering food to the Coutts blockade. The only problem is the photo was from FIVE (5) years before. It never happened.
