5 Dec 2023

It all prompted the federal government to invoke the Emergencies Act and the police to use force to clear the crowd. [...] While much of the mainstream media and the political class are opposed to Freedom Convoy 2022, this does not give them the right to demand or aggregate for the use of violence by the police.
