October 19 was the fifth day of hearings for the Public Order Emergency Commission, also known as the Rouleau Commission. This is the long anticipated public inquiry into the federal government’s first ever invocation of the Emergencies Act in response to the 2022 Freedom Convoy. In this video, I summarize what happened on the fifth day of hearings.
On day 5 of the hearings, the commission heard from the following 2 witnesses:
• Diane Deans (Former Ottawa Police Board Chair)
• Pat Morris (OPP Superintendent)
I did not have time in this video to summarize the cross examination by the Convoy lawyer, which is worth watching here: [ Ссылка ]

I mention a document that is cited in the Commission. You can check out a copy of that document, which was tweeted by journalist Alex Ballingall here: [ Ссылка ]
I also mention an event I’m attending tomorrow evening in Toronto, which means I am unlikely to be able to do a full day summary. I’ll try to do a part day summary though. If you want to attend the event, which is an award for Adrienne Batra for her work advocating for Canadian Taxpayers, you can buy a ticket here (come say hi to me!): [ Ссылка ]
