The Clinton Chronicles: An Investigation Into the Alleged Criminal Activities of Bill Clinton

Public hearings of the Public Order Emergency Commission continue in Ottawa with Ontario Provincial Police officers Craig Abrams and Carson Pardy providing testimony. The commission, led by Paul Rouleau, is studying the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act in February 2022 to declare a public order emergency. The declaration of emergency came in response to protests, at a number of Canada–U.S. border crossings and in downtown Ottawa, opposing the government’s COVID-19 public-health measures. The Emergencies Act requires an inquiry to be held following any declaration of emergency, with the mandate of examining both the circumstances of the declaration and the measures taken under it.
