BREAKING: Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s lack of early engagement in Freedom Convoy protests 'troubling,' commission report finds

The report, which was published by the Public Order Emergency Commission on Friday, also found a lack of collaboration by the Ontario government impacted jurisdictional and resourcing issues in the early days of the occupation.

The report concluded the Ford government only increased their engagement more than a week later, when protesters started blocking the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, resulting in potential financial and trade repercussions.Protesters rolled into the capital on the weekend of Jan. 28, 2022, blocking several roads around Parliament Hill.

The commission found that Ontario’s refusal to participate in tripartite discussions with Ottawa and the federal government was based on the view that the convoy was “protesting a federal vaccine mandate on Parliament’s doorstep,” meaning the responsibility for resolving the situation fell largely on Trudeau’s shoulders.“While Ontario sent representatives to the staff table, it was absent at the political table,” Rouleau wrote.

Why is this not top priority CTV

The freedom convoy was one of the great social justice demonstrations of the last 200 years. Ford staying out of it was rhe right menuver!

He took his time because they were his supporters .just like the developers in the Greenbelt he's a crooked uneducated corrupt individual and needs to be taken out of office

Shocking, another Ford unless like tits on a bull. Resign BullTits

Who gives a flying shit what this commission thinks? They've made it perfectly clear they're Turd-o's lapdogs, now they're just looking for someone to throw under the bus.

I would guess because it was a federal problem. And they'd rather throw childish insults than use their ears. And for Ford to walk away from the table... would imply he even came to the table.

But, nothing about JustinTrudeau hiding? 😂😂

Praise Trudeau bash Ford lol very nice report couldn't work any better

Jan 28 2022- Ottawa Protesr begin - Ford says not his problem. Feb 7 - Ambassador Bridge protests begin. Feb 9 - Ford calls Trudeau over concerns at other ports of entry Feb 14 - Ford finally puts on his big boy shoes and calls a State of Emergency. nuffSaid

'lack of early engagement'.... He literally WALKED AWAY from the problem-solving table _3 times_. The term for that is 𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝘂𝘁𝘆.

He was very busy trying to keep his arse on the snowmobile at the cottage Hard work eh Also he didn't know Ottawa was in Ontario So give that fordnation joke of a Premier a Break okay!

A lot of them are his people, so he can’t lose them. Same playbook was used south of the border.

Ha ha. I think the only thing Doug Ford has ever done that I approve of was his slowness in attacking, arresting and demonizing peaceful blue-collar worker strikers led by the trucker's freedom convoy. ontario onpoli

I’m shocked that JustinTrudeau uncle sided with ole JT on this one! The Canadian justice system is in a state of disrepute!

And when does Trudeau get held accountable and resign?

Obviously, when Trudeau's hand picked friend who's married into his family writes the report lol.

UPDATED: Some complaints were difficult to assess as Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones refused to testify.

Ya let’s just post this 1000 times!

He’s to blame

Another bad day Ford. He must resign

He’s a liberal, that’s why
