And an Act-mandated commission said it was warranted:

On April 25, 2022, Prime Minister Trudeau selected Rouleau to be the commissioner of the Public Order Emergency Commission inquiry into the invocation of the Emergencies Act, which had occurred in response to the 2022 Canada convoy protest.

That is one step removed from Trudeau investigating himself, we're not talking the gold standard of systemic independence here.


Each political side loves laws like this until the other side gets in power.


That's the bigger picture problem with Canada (and nearly every place else). Our laws assume the government is the good guy, when they should be assuming the government is public enemy number one.


The problem is seeing government as anything but people. Living in euphemistic identity. It’s the corniest of Middle Ages roleplay; man named Farmer is a farmer for life. Someone who labels themselves an accountant must be one for life!

We should vote ranked choice style for economic “tent poles”. Healthcare and infrastructure, on down the list of shared concerns.

That won’t happen though because the innumerate masses will be reminded that if Elon Musk and co don’t get special tax concessions a giant foot will come down from the sky and step on us all.

Had Union grocery workers demand to see my prescription papers please before they’d let me continue on to the pharmacy in the grocery that operated via a different contract and was still open. I said they had to a count of 5 and then I’d drive into them. Trump and/or some random dipshit from an adjacent zip code is the enemy.


That sounds a bit like "The police carefully investigated themselves and firmly established that no abuse or wrongdoing took place".


I've read this comment multiple times and now I'm greatly confused because it does not appear to be meant humorously.


At some point in history it was legal to own slaves ...

The law is a tool for the service of a community, not the other way around.


And in the Canadian system, are appointed commissions or judicial rulings supreme and overriding over the other?


In common law systems it is part of government review and is not meant to be a ruling on events already happened.
