The Freedom Convoy was a series of demonstrations that took place in Canada this year, where truckers created blockades in protest against the strict Covid-19 vaccination mandates. In February, Justin Trudeau authorized the Emergencies Act to fight against the demonstrations. Gabriel Poliquin, the Public Order Emergency Commission lawyer for Canada, collapsed while questioning Ontario Deputy Solicitor General Mario Di Tomasso. Poliquin was tasked with reviewing the circumstances that led to Trudeau's Emergencies Act during the protest.
