Ontario Premier Doug Ford told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau he felt Ottawa police and the mayor mismanaged the Freedom Convoy protest and reopening the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ont., was the priority, according to a readout of a call the two politicians shared in February.
As part of evidence presented at the inquiry into the Emergencies Act on Tuesday, the readout shows Ford said “police are a little shy” and “if I could direct the police, I would” as he told Trudeau the Ontario government was looking for ways to give officers more tools to clear the bridge blockade
