The judge in the criminal trial of two Freedom Convoy organizers ruled today that portions of redacted internal police documents should be admitted as evidence.

Justice Heather Perkins-McVey says some information that police initially redacted from documents is protected by solicitor-client privilege, but some of it has to do with opinions or statements by officers that should be admissible.
