OTTAWA—Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was justified in invoking emergency powers last year to end the weekslong Freedom Convoy protest that paralyzed the capital and thwarted trade on key U.S.-Canada corridors, a judicial inquiry said Friday.
The inquiry said Canada’s cabinet had information about a “threat of serious violence for a political or ideological purpose.” Furthermore, the inquiry said a series of policing mistakes by local authorities “contributed to a situation that spun out of control. Lawful protests descended into lawlessness, culminating in a national emergency.”
