The Freedom Convoy was such a politically inspired event, that I think a lot of the cops probably sided with the protesters.
I believe the whole event shows a sad lack of leadership from the top down. And that, coupled with our divisive, political game playing PM, were largely responsible for the enormity of the protest and the length of time it was allowed to proceed.
As I see it, the use of the EMA was used at the last minute to gain points politically, as it somewhat makes up for the sad lack of action by our PM thoughout the whole event.
just my biased opinion

I see it the opposite way, this is something where the #### pumped up to Parliament Hill.
As much as I loathe Trudeau, by the time it got to him it was an Emergency.
If the Cops had just let the guys Protest and then calmly cleared them out after a few hours then there is no problem.
It started with the Cops on the street, went up to the Police Chief, then the Mayor, then the Premier and on and on. It should never have gone that far.
Like I said, a successive failure of the systems. The real "Emergency" was that there are ton of people in positions of authority with Zero intestinal fortitude.
Until they were allowed to entrench themselves this is a run-of-the-mill protest and you move them along.
