Emergencies Act hearings come to an end – Will Teflon Trudeau be held accountable?

Categories:

December 1, 2022

December 2022 OK, so the big take-away from the testimony of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his fellow ministers is that it doesn’t matter what the letter of the law is under the Emergencies Act, we are going to make up our own definition of what constitutes a national emergency.
