Two ministers with key portfolios in the Trudeau government joked about sending tanks against the Freedom Convoy a few days after the trucker-led protest had settled in Ottawa, according to text messages.
“How many tanks are you asking for,” wrote Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino to Justice Minister David Lametti on Feb. 2. “I Just wanna ask Anita how many we’ve got on hand,” he added in reference to Defence Minister Anita Anand.
