Thank you for clarity on several points. I trust your views on constitutional issues, so am happy that we agree on the necessity of the EA. I am confounded by the lack of media attention on the role of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition Party. The CPC funded, fed, supported publicly, a "take down" of an elected Prime Minister with no criticism. This is very concerning for our democracy. Mary Wright

Thank you for this well written article. I for one was horrified by the events that took place during the occupation in Ottawa and I didn’t even live there at the time. The fact that the police were doing nothing to stop it was frustrating and infuriating. It was clear that this movement was all about hate and the overthrow of this government. It was not a peaceful protest and was well funded I may add. This was an attack on our democracy. This is a global movement to try and dismantle progressive governments in my opinion. I also agree with you and this bothers me a lot as a citizen that, why there isn’t a public inquiry about the absence of Doug Ford and his refusal to partake in trilateral meetings with governments during the crisis. Why isn’t there an investigation into the CPC who obviously supported this. They claim that these protestors just wanted to be heard and say the government should have met with them. What kind of government would meet with a group who wanted to overthrow them? These elected officials were complicit in this occupation and the blockades and I am bewildered at how they are getting away with this. I full heartedly agree that the EA was necessary and it will be interesting to see the POEC report.
