OTTAWA – Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino stands by his assertion that the “Freedom Convoy” had extremist elements.
A member of the Ontario Provincial Police appeared to question the claim in a document tabled at the Public Order Emergency Commission, the inquiry examining the circumstances surrounding the use of the Emergencies Act.
“I do not know where the political figures are acquiring info or intel on the extent of extremist involvement,” OPP Supt. Pat Morris wrote in an email.
