Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said the 'Freedom Convoy' protest in Ottawa was an "emergency that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau created" by attacking Canadians and driving up the cost of living.
He later went on to say that Trudeau poured "gasoline on the fire" after the Public Order Emergency Commission's report found that his comments emboldened some protesters.
The report said Trudeau met the threshold for invoking the Emergencies Act to end the convoy protests and blockades.

And he’s absolutely right
He is not..He will not win
@Jimmy Stewart truth hurts 🙂
@GhettoGamer420 which truth is that?
Agreeing with the Corrupt Government, eh? Of course you are.
A study was just released that shows 1 out of 3 Poilievre supporters are just as stupid as the other 2.
What would anybody expect when a Liberal judge is in charge of investigating a Liberal government.
@Mark C THANK YOU!
But Americans also call each other by our party names. North America is all trash. The New World was a mistake.
@Sunny Xiao Long Grow a brain.
@KevinB92 Are you really that blind?
@Jimill Whaaaat? Americans butting into other people’s business and running their fat mouths? No! Never! That’s totally unheard of!
@Sunny Xiao Long you seriously cant see the corruption?
Dangerous precedent….
Time will tell down the years
@Business Mike When the next protest is not peaceful.
Then, propose some legislation to make things right!!!!
He has no ideas except “Justin Trudeau bad!!!!!!!!1”
> implying mr pee pee has solutions
He’s not in a position to make those changes. Yet.
@Sunny Xiao Long where was the emergency act when lefty mobs were burning down churches and toppling statues ?
@KM LH Nobody enacts Emergency Acts for random events that happen in your imagination.
Yes sir
Corrupt government approves of corrupt government, did we expect anything less?
That’s Poilievre for you.
A study was just released that shows 1 out of 3 Poilievre supporters are just as stupid as the other 2.
@Unknown Can you provide details of Pierre’s corruption? …..I’ll wait.
A1 circular logic
The emergencies act was his dream
emperor palpatine lol
to the best of my knowledge the cost of living crisis we’re in now came well after all the money was spent
this was in relation to the ongoing VAXXXECUTED mandates
It’s tied to rising inflation around the entire world due to the recent wars and other major incidents causing havoc on supplies.
While spending did increase our inflation , the alternative was made bankruptcy during the pandemic. Now, if you look at the inflation numbers, Canada is had one of the lowest inflation numbers. Yes, it sucks, but PP will probably make it worse. He share the same belief as Liz truss in the UK and she killed their economy in a week.
@Sunny Xiao Long lol
I’m sorry that the Premier did so little about the protest in Ottawa. We could have avoided this whole hullabaloo if Ford had just done his job from the start.
Exactly. Ottawa of a city of Ontario and ford failed it’s citizens
Say that to the woman Trampled by Trudeau’s RCMP. Using police to crack down on a peaceful protest is what Trudeau the wannabe dictator does.
@Nines Do you know what injuries that woman sustained from that incident? Genuinely curious
I’m so sorry your so uneducated.
Well said sir 👏
And Pierre is being kind here…
because he’s scared of moderates
Lol…yep…
the convoy wanted to speak with JT but he went on hiding..
He wasn’t hiding. The whole country knew where he was except the Karen convoy
@Jumbo Me Dildeau got coward 19 and hid in his house. Calling truckers Karens is cute considering you get upset over urinals in the men’s washroom
@Deft One The Kanadian Karen Konvoy is an apt term, they freely travelled the nation to complain to it’s manager in a tone-def tantrum.
really? made it impossible to pay their bills? with all the generous CERB and modified access EI payments? cut the crap! PP opportunist
Yeah, the CERB which only existed because of the government’s atrocious handling of the p@ndemic. Oh how generous Trudeau! What a great guy!
Let’s see this guy when he gets in charge. Who’s he going to blame then?
Well, Harper has been the choice of the Librano party.
I guess you were wrong!
Justin got elected because of his last name nobody wants to hear anymore.
Well Mr pollievrre if and that’s a big IF, you ever become PM, I hope you remember this and allow everything to be blamed on you. (Even the actions of others)
Like when you hide from protests against your government then revoke charter rights of all Canadians
Lmfao. Milhouse will say anything.
Did you know a working couple can actually lower their tax bracket by donating $3600 to the Conservatives.
Better than giving it to Trudeau in April.
