Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, city manager Steve Kanellakos and three city councillors are on the list of witnesses set to testify before the inquiry into the invocation of the federal Emergencies Act in February.
Defendants in a Freedom Convoy lawsuit have asked a court to release just over $450,000 in frozen funds so that they can pay for legal representatives in an upcoming public inquiry into the Emergencies Act.
When Andrew Lawton was dispatched to cover the Freedom Convoy during the first and last few days in Ottawa, he said he saw first hand the discrepancy between what he observed on the ground and what were reported in mainstream media. He decided to write a book that tells the inside story of the convoy unknown to many.
An organiser of the Canadian Freedom Convoy was granted bail this week after being held in jail for several months over causing "mischief."
The decision was delivered in an Ottawa courtroom Monday by Superior Court Justice Anne London-Weinstein.
