To date I have not seen any sign that the judge is being partial to one side or the other (I have been watching for this).
After 3 weeks of testimony from Ottawa city officials, police officers, convoy organizers, border blockaders, and now provincial (Ontario) politicians, no facts have come to light that suggest Canada was anywhere near needing to declare an emergency.
In fact, the opposite has been revealed. The border blockades were already gone, intelligence noted the lack of crime and violence, police had already been identified to help with the protest, tow trucks were available, and CSIS advised that declaring the Emergencies Act would likely have a negative impact let alone the fact that the circumstances did not justify the Act being used.
We'll have to see what the judge writes in the final report, but I don't see how the report can do anything other than condemn the actions of the Liberal government unless some incredible, previously unknown information is presented over the coming weeks.
