A lawyer for the Attorney General argued in court on April 5 that civil liberties’ lawyers were engaging in “revisionist history” by asserting that the Freedom Convoy was under control when cabinet invoked the Emergencies Act to quell the protest last winter.
“You’ve heard from my friends that the situation was getting under control by February 14 when the Public Order Emergency was declared. This is a little short of revisionist history, or at the very least an interpretation of a state of affairs that benefits from hindsight bias,” said lawyer for the Attorney General John Provart.
