The comment was included in a typed summary of a Feb. 8 phone call between Trudeau and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson. By that point, the protesters who arrived in Ottawa in long convoys of semis and other vehicles to demand the removal of COVID-19 health measures had been entrenched for almost two weeks, as city officials pleaded for help from other levels of government.
“Doug Ford has been hiding from his responsibility on it for political reasons,” Trudeau told Watson, according to the call summary tabled at the inquiry. The criticism adds to the picture from earlier inquiry testimony of tensions between different orders of government during last winter’s convoy crisis. Ottawa city officials described Monday that frustrations existed over how the Ford government refused to participate in discussions about the occupation of the capital with municipal and federal politicians.
According to notes from a Feb. 8 meeting between city and federal officials — one of the meetings the province did not attend — Watson told Trudeau’s cabinet ministers: “Show me the Mounties.”
Where was the PM at the same time? Oh ya, hiding
Residents of Ottawa already knew all this Ford was absent, complicit and refused calls for help & for participation in intergovernmental meetings This is ON HIM. Billions lost to Ontario’s economy with the bridge blockade and Ottawa occupation and Ford went skidooing
Today’s takeaway from the EmergenciesActInquiry
Tossed under the bus by Trudeau again. Lmao
You think? Sheesh, he wasn’t hiding. He was just at the cottage and snowmobiling!
nuclearmom01 Yet fordnation is still licking his boots. Why?
Well well, the case of the pot calling the kettle black.
He was hiding himself 'with co--d'
Doug was too busy cottaging to do his job. Plus his daughter was too busy posing with Fuck Trudeau signs even though it was Justin her daddy’s mandates.

the convoy was a DontheCon move. DonaldJTrump and MAGAcult influences have reached and influenced Canadians. TrumpCult are Terrorist.
Yes, Ford was not insulting and provoking the protestors like Trudeau was. Also, the Ontario's Emergencies Act, introduced by Doug Ford, was more than sufficient to clear the Ambassador Bridge without Trudeau's help.
He abdicated his responsibilities as the Premier of Ontario. fordnation was snowmobiling instead. onpoli cdnpoli EmergenciesAct FordMustGo
Mainstream news is little more than a degenerate gossip mill these days.
let thee not forget ford went on national tv to say he would back Trudeau 100% and went forward to fill the streets with police and close all streets.
He did.
He did hide. I am critical of JustinTrudeau for a lot of things but when it comes to EA he handled it 100% correctly. In fact, should have been even tougher on them. fordnation was in hiding and LIKELY behind the scene encouraging these folks.
Pot calling the Kettle
I thought Trudeau was hiding with Covid.
pot meet kettle lol you cant make this stuff up
Says the guy who got fake covid for the 2nd or 3rd time so that he had an excuse not to meet the protesters 🤪😂😂😂
Kettle calling the Pot black
Ford was hiding at his shack in Muskoka for several weeks, you know that why didn't you report it at the time? This was taken Feb. 11, 2022. cdnmediafail emergencycommission
fordnation was behind the freedumb convoy racists from the start. He knows. It. Ford must go
… is this new information?!
And he would know!
I would agree with that Trudeau , should have added it was a ' election year in Ontario , he didn't want to do anything that would jeopardize his re- election !
If you ban people from protesting on this level after abusing rights on such a high level (justified or not) then you run the risk of people taking more serious actions. Mass protest are a safety valve, police know this, journalists and politicians don't. Dangerous territory.
This isn't a 'leftwing democracy' it's a democracy, & what goes around comes around. Left is trying to establish 'If people are inconvenienced, protests are illegal'. Economy is about to crash, PP will be elected next🤷♂️.
I'm almost sure that Justin could have eased tensions by doing anything other than hiding and hurling insults.
The 3x times jabbed PM positive for shmovid ran away like the giant baby he is for 10 days. TrudeauNationalDisgrace TrudeauMustGo
Didn’t Trudeau literally hide during the convoy?
Which was clearly obvious to anyone who was paying attention. Ford is very good at hiding.
Wrong. Ford wasn’t hiding. He was vacationing at his cottage
