‘Freedom Convoy’ lawyer encouraged protest to continue after Emergencies Act invoked

OTTAWA – “Freedom Convoy” lawyer Keith Wilson says he told protesters to stay in downtown Ottawa to oppose COVID-19 restrictions after the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act, even though police were warning people to leave the area.

Wilson told the public inquiry investigating the invocation of the act that he never imagined the federal government would use force against “non-violent” protesting Canadians.
