Biden and others in his administration allegedly pressured Justin Trudeau to shut down the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protests.
According to the inquiry, which was established to determine if the drastic measures were justified, the decision to implement the Emergencies Act came just three days after Trudeau spoke over the phone with President Biden, who reportedly expressed his concerns over the potential for the trucker protests to spread to the United States, highlighting possible disruptions of the Super Bowl and on the streets of Washington D.C.
“If this is not sorted out in the next 12 hours, all of their northeastern car plants will shut down.” During the public inquiry, Freeland said that the protests made her concerned that Canada was “in the process of doing long-term and possibly irreparable harm to our trading relationship with the United States,” explaining that there were many Democrats and Republicans in Congress who could use the event to introduce more protectionist trade barriers against Canada.
Mr Trudeau went on to — somewhat confusingly — say that protests should not be used to try to “demand changes to public policy… something that I think is worrisome.”
