00:10:36.080I've spent five years of my life living in Alberta.
00:10:38.840In Alberta with the United Conservative Party,
00:10:41.580in part because the Freedom Convoy changed a lot of minds and hearts within the party.
00:10:49.240Additionally, the leadership review back in the spring contributed to a lot of freedom-minded people joining the UCP simply so they could vote Jason Kenney out.
00:10:58.240The leadership race also caused a lot of freedom-minded people to join the UCP, and as a result, they elected a freedom-minded leader, Danielle Smith.
00:11:07.020The momentum is building, change is happening, and we invite you to be a part of it at tba2022.ca.
00:11:13.080That's this website right here, tba2022.ca.
00:11:18.020Our next project is sending freedom-minded individuals to the UCP AGM, October 21st, 22nd, 23rd, west of Edmonton, to influence the decisions made by the provincial UCP board.
00:11:34.340If this concept interests you, you can reach out to Benita Peterson, and she gives her telephone number.
00:22:44.580They will describe the countrywide threats to the security of Canada, the illegal blockades,
00:22:51.620the disruption and intimidation experienced by Ottawa residents, the threats at our borders
00:22:58.040and ports of entry, and the real impacts on Canada's trade, international reputation,
00:23:04.800and the economic well-being of Canadians.
00:23:08.140The government witnesses will outline the deliberate step-by-step process in which careful consideration was given to all the available options, which led to the declaration of a public order emergency as a matter of last resort.
00:23:26.080It is our view that there was no justification whatsoever to invoke.
00:23:33.000Let me just stop it for a second, you guys, because it's going to switch from person to person to person as we go through this.
00:23:37.900the name of the person speaking when they first start speaking is at the bottom okay so watch to
00:23:45.080see who it is and it's only going to last for a few seconds okay so that first guy you saw that
00:23:49.900was the lawyer representing the government of canada this guy is the lawyer the lead counsel
00:23:56.180representing the convoy the emergencies act the emergencies act requires several things
00:24:02.940One, it could be invoked due to espionage and sabotage.
00:24:07.620Are you going to hear any evidence about espionage and sabotage?
00:25:55.760imposed broad responsibilities on financial institutions.
00:26:00.260with little guidance and they created offenses for not complying with those new responsibilities.
00:26:10.820The final area concerns to what extent Saskatchewan residents were impacted by the emergency measures.
00:26:19.300The government is concerned that residents rights may have been unnecessarily infringed
00:26:25.460by these measures. Alberta believes it is important to share with Canadians
00:26:29.540the facts about how Alberta was able to effectively deal with the international border blockade in
00:26:35.460Coutts, Alberta prior to the invocation of the Federal Emergencies Act. Alberta's evidence will
00:26:41.620show that the existing law enforcement tools that were already in place were completely sufficient
00:26:48.020and they were successfully used to peacefully restore the flow of traffic at the Coutts border
00:26:53.220crossing and to disperse the protest to a legal protest site none of the powers that were created
00:27:00.820under the federal emergencies act were necessary nor were any of them used in alberta to resolve
00:27:06.820the coots blockade the first convoy participants arrived in ottawa not far at all actually from
00:27:12.820where we sit today on january 28th this is going to be in our city for approximately three weeks
00:27:20.100i expect you will hear from witnesses about the significant impacts on the city's residents and
00:27:25.620businesses and you will also hear about the city's efforts to support the police-led response to the
00:27:31.940convoy and to mitigate impacts on city services the impact on ottawa for those three weeks of
00:27:39.940harassment street blockages ear splitting air and train horns and general lawlessness
00:27:48.580was unprecedented many people in ottawa felt like they were prisoners in their own home
00:27:55.540and they felt abandoned and they felt unsafe by the police and by all levels of government
00:28:03.300the auto coalition is not going to take a position we don't anticipate on the emergencies act
00:28:08.020but make no mistake it was a crisis in downtown ottawa there was disorder there was chaos
00:28:15.140there were propane tanks, there were gasoline jerry cans everywhere, there
00:28:21.320were fireworks going off at all hours of the night, pinging off buildings, pinging
00:28:25.940off windows, people could not get, there was no public services, paramedics,
00:28:31.660ambulances, no buses, no taxis, grocery stores were closed, businesses, several
00:28:39.920hundreds of businesses are closed, the Rideau Centre, the major mall in Ottawa
00:28:44.640was closed for the first time in its history for a prolonged period of time.
00:28:51.640The people in Ottawa are still traumatized, Commissioner.
00:28:54.820There is a well-established process, you will hear,
00:28:57.880that the Ottawa Police Service follows when protests occur.
00:29:02.680The police must respect the charter right to peaceful process
00:29:06.040while at the same time protect the community and uphold public order.
00:29:11.640The Ottawa police, you will hear, followed that well-established process that had always worked with protesters, this time as well, and were prepared for an event, but not for the event that occurred.
00:29:27.600Why? What you will hear is that this protest was unique in Canadian history.
00:29:33.280The police had little time to prepare.
00:29:36.740The genesis of the protest had only begun a couple of weeks before it arrived in town and it gained momentum with time.
00:29:45.720What none of the intelligence predicted in the very brief period of time prior to the convoy's arrival was the level of community violence and social trauma that was inflicted upon the city and its residents.
00:30:00.540The city of Ottawa was ground zero for the protests that occurred in February 2022.
00:30:06.540And Chief Slowley will assist you in understanding the challenges faced by the Ottawa Police Service in addressing the evolving illegal occupation.
00:30:15.640As he will explain, the events represent a paradigm shift in public protests.
00:30:21.300In particular, he will explain to you the limited resources available to the Ottawa Police Service to deal with a massive occupation, the limited nature of the intelligence available to OPS about what was coming Ottawa's way, the importance of the right of lawful protest in our democracy and the limits of the authority of the Ottawa Police Service to deal with protesters.
00:30:46.500For 34 years, the Emergencies Act was never used. The Public Order Emergency of 2022 was a historic
00:30:56.200first. But now that the glass has been broken on the Act, it can be used again. The Act was used
00:31:05.980by this government against individuals protesting vaccine mandates. But a future government of a
00:31:12.980different political stripe could use the act in response to protests against pipelines or climate
00:31:18.680change. When the commission asks hard questions about the act's use in 2022, the commission must
00:31:27.640also focus on the act's potential misuse in the future and protect the right to protest,
00:31:35.260parliamentary democracy, and federalism. What the commission says matters not just to Canada,
00:31:42.340but globally, where the use of emergency powers is on the rise. The world will be watching our
00:31:49.620work. There are many issues that the Commission will be examining which are central to CCLA's work,
00:31:55.940including the lawful scope of the right to protest, the role of police in facilitating
00:32:01.060protests while protecting public safety, the relationship between policing authorities,
00:32:06.820civilian oversight bodies, and government actors, and the surveillance of those involved in
00:32:11.740dissenting social movements. More broadly, the CCLA's interest in the commission's work goes
00:32:17.460to the core of the organization's mandate, protecting the rights and freedoms of Canadians
00:32:22.140and demanding transparency and accountability from our governments. The CCLA views the commission as
00:32:27.900an instrumental part of achieving the goals of transparency and accountability, and our
00:32:32.920participation in the commission's proceedings will be aimed at supporting those goals.
00:32:36.720okay so that's a brief overview that's kind of like the opening arguments of this commission
00:32:42.700this inquiry that's going to last for the next six to seven weeks and when we do get some
00:32:47.320witnesses in there and i'm not talking about just well i live in ottawa and i couldn't take the bus
00:32:53.000that kind of stuff i mean you're going to hear from the citizens coalition and and you know
00:32:57.500what people say is look you chose to live in downtown ottawa two blocks away from the parliament
00:33:03.520buildings what did you think was going to happen if there was a protest you would be inconvenienced
00:33:11.180which is all it was really but they're trying to trump it up into threats of violence and harassment
00:33:16.560and all of that stuff which never happened apparently according to the police and we have
00:33:21.700a story about that coming up if you guys want to watch this thing unfold every single day live you
00:33:27.320can do it at this website public order emergency commission dot c a public order emergency
00:33:35.160commission dot c a and like i said when it gets really good and we have pat king and tamara leach
00:33:42.740and justin trudeau and marco mendocino and christia freeland and all of these these people
00:33:47.580come up we will watch it live together on a live stream right here on the shadow davis show page
00:33:53.920It'll be special editions towards the last couple or three weeks of this inquiry.
00:33:59.720This story comes from the counter signal.
00:34:03.020Now, this guy, Rouleau, he's the judge who's been appointed to head up this commission.
00:34:10.660The judge overseeing the Emergencies Act inquiry, even though he seemed reasonable when I first saw him this morning, he seemed pretty even-handed.
00:34:18.280He seemed like a decent fella, somebody you could put your trust in.
00:34:21.840but it turns out he's donated to and been a staffer of trudeau's liberal party
00:34:28.960which should immediately disqualify him from any involvement in this commission whatsoever
00:34:35.400this raises concerns about his ability to remain impartial as the federal government is finally
00:34:40.460forced to answer for its use of emergency powers according to documents obtained by the counter
00:34:46.560signal back in april some of which mysteriously disappeared from the elections canada website
00:34:51.100Justice Paul S. Rouleau has funneled money to the Liberal Party year after year.
00:34:57.280This discovery came after Trudeau established the Public Order Emergency Commission
00:35:01.020and appointed Rouleau the commissioner.
00:35:03.820Let me ask you a question, and that is simply this.
00:35:08.000How can the guy who is being accused of government overreach
00:35:11.580appoint the commissioner of the commission that's going to be investigating him?
00:35:21.100everybody's really excited about this,
00:35:24.240but once again, it feels like the field is tilted in their favor, doesn't it?
00:35:38.840But today on day one, Rouleau said he would act impartially as a judge.
00:35:43.800He said, I will keep an open mind throughout
00:35:46.140and only reach a conclusion after all of the evidence is in.
00:35:51.100However, in addition to his Liberal Party donations, Toronto Sun columnist Brian Lilly reports that Rouleau has even worked for the Liberals.
00:35:59.860In 1983, he was part of John Turner's leadership campaign to take over when Pierre Trudeau announced his retirement.
00:36:06.420Rouleau then had a hand in helping pick Turner's cabinet once he won leadership and is described in various media reports as either his executive assistant or appointment secretary in media reports from that era.
00:44:52.380But it's Justin Trudeau talking about gun control, how illegal guns get into Canada and why we need stricter gun controls once they get here.
00:45:02.780Listen to him trip himself up. He didn't even need Pierre Polyev to do this for him. He did it himself.
00:45:09.860The ban on handguns, I understand the ban on assault rifles.
00:45:13.920But I'm asking about the criminal that's continuously involved with the law having an illegal gun in their possession and getting involved in firefights.
00:45:24.760There are a few different ways that criminals get their hands on guns in this country.
01:22:10.080Oh, maybe myocarditis brought on by a certain experimental formula?
01:22:19.420So these people are going on and say some children are born with irregular heartbeats
01:22:23.260known as cardiac arrhythmia and they never know unless detected by a scan.
01:22:29.300So now they're trying to make us believe that kids playing video games
01:22:34.480is what's causing their heart problems because it is becoming an increasing problem.
01:22:40.080don't buy any of this malarkey you guys this is just the marxist media doing what their masters
01:22:48.160are telling them to do and that's all there is to it and you may have seen more ridiculous stories
01:22:53.700like that come out over the past few months they're trying to cover something up but what
01:23:00.300oh and one more thing oh by the way again benita peterson an outspoken freedom movement member
