A briefing provided by the director of Canada’s spy agency to senior officials at different levels of government on Feb. 6 said there was no foreign involvement in the Freedom Convoy protest, in contrast to claims made by federal cabinet ministers.

“There [are] no foreign actors identified at this point supporting or financing this convoy,” CSIS Director David Vigneault said in his briefing given during a teleconference.
