Tamara is a hero. There has never been any doubt in my mind that she did what she thought was best for our country and its citizens. The convoy was a ray of hope in a desolate fall and winter of discrimination and torment from our Prime Minister and all levels of government. Never would I have thought the kind of behaviour directed towards people who made a different choice regarding their bodily autonomy could have occurred in "free" Canada. Blessings to the truckers and all the freedom fighters.
When they played some video footage of the people on overpasses cheering on the convoy there were grown men crying in the hearing room. That feeling of hope was shared by many.
I have a question for you. It is my understanding that the Act required consultation and buy in from all provinces, along with the Senate. That did not occur before implementation. If not, why has that not been a fundamental question at the commission? How can these principles be overlooked randomly? Why has that not been a point of discussion? Thank you. You do a great job!
Great question, Susan. It requires consultation with provinces, but not approval from them. (The exception is if the government is only using the Act in one province, in which case that province's cabinet must approve). That being said, these are questions that would be more applicable in the court battles about the the Emergencies Act, not the inquiry, which is more focused on the circumstances surrounding the "emergency." Thanks for your support and the kind words!
