Canadian government used disinformation to invoke the “Emergencies Act” in 2022, and then shared it with other “Five Eyes” nations
Over the last year, Public and others have reported on illegal abuses of power by government intelligence, security, and military agencies across the Western world. These abuses of power have included censorship efforts by the US Department of Homeland Security and British military; Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) entrapment schemes; and FBI and Secret Service involvement in January 6, 2021 pipe bomb disinformation.
Now, a months-long Public investigation reveals that the Canadian government used disinformation to crack down on the “Freedom Convoy” protest, led by truckers demanding an end to Covid-19 vaccine mandates, in February 2022. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Canada’s national police force, then promoted this false information to other “Five Eyes” English-speaking nations.
This discovery is significant because it contributes to a pattern of intelligence agencies from the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, which have collaborated on surveillance since World War II, being caught abusing their powers to investigate and persecute the political enemies of elected officials.
In 2013, the National Security Agency contractor turned whistleblower, Edward Snowden, revealed that the US government and other nations had violated legal protections against warrantless surveillance. Collaboration between Five Eyes nations also appears to have been used by the FBI in 2016 to create the pretext used for initiating the Russian collusion investigation, which US Department of Justice special prosecutor John Durham denounced last year.
The story begins in 2022, when news media outlets claimed that the truckers’ Freedom Convoy protest was a racist, fascist, or far-right movement. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the convoy “a small fringe minority with unacceptable views” and accused Conservative Members of Parliament of supporting hate. “Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas. They can stand with people who wave the Confederate flag,” Trudeau said.
On February 14, 2022, Trudeau took the extraordinary measure of invoking the “Emergencies Act” for the first time in Canada’s history. The Act gave the government sweeping powers to arrest protesters, freeze their bank accounts, seize property, and dismantle blockades, which is what Trudeau did.
Central to Trudeau’s invocation of the Act was the alleged threat of right-wing extremism and violence, but new documents that podcaster Jeremy Mackenzie obtained through Canada’s freedom of information law show that this drastic measure was based on fabricated intelligence. What’s more, Canada appears to have shared this disinformation with other members of the Five Eyes alliance. Five Eyes includes Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
There are still many questions about why this happened. We have not received answers from key players involved. Trudeau’s government and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) told Public they would reply to our requests for comment but so far have not.
The New Zealand Police, with whom the Trudeau government shared disinformation, told Public that they were “unable to comment on queries which seek to confirm whether or not specific individuals or organisations are or have been under Police investigation for privacy reasons.”
This scandal appears to add to a growing number of cases revealing the politicization of intelligence and security agencies across Five Eyes nations to achieve ideological, political, and counter-populist goals. But how exactly did the Trudeau government use falsified evidence to shut down the truckers’ protest? And why are Five Eyes governments around the world using similar strategies to frame, entrap, and demonize populists?
Fabricated intelligence
They learned it from the DC deep-state.
The countries( and WEF ) that complain about disinformation are the ones creating the disinformation
Quelle surprise!
So Nazi Justin Castreau out Nazied Ukraine by False Flag attacking Honest Patriotic Canadians in Nazi Canuckistan!
Only Nazi Canucks Cucks can do that.
Deep States worldwide rule using the same playbook.
Canada is verging on a fascistic state and incredibly many Canucks seem to be Ok with it.
Just read their daily comments on X. This morning I saw one who was terrified MAGA would immigrate to Canada if Trump lost. He said MAGA have no jobs or skills.
Incredibly stupid and brainwashed or intentional I don’t know.
The Trudeau government in concert with the US Deep State. I believe this was ALL at the US government urging.
I've heard others say - and I agree - that when the left are complaining or warning about something, such as "disinformation", they are doing it.
Over time, I see a very good correlation to that.
Today Lavrentiy Beria would be saying “Show me the group and I’ll find you the crime”.
...and nothing will happen o them for committing this evil act.

The majority of Canadians do not have these facts. The facys are suppressed by the new rukles of not opublishing foreign sourced news articles on spcial platforms like Facebook and goodle News. The CBC and CTV do not reprot on them because they are largely finded by government grants and advertising.
Why do you hihnk that Tucker Carlson did a You Tube interview with the Premier of Alberta IN CANADA. If it was done in the USA it would have been censored. Try to find it on YOU Tube if you are in Cnada....its buried.
Most Canadians will not do the hard work ncessary to find out what is happening by reading on line sites like Red State.Most are to busy working multiple jobs just to feed their families and survive.Inflation has hit Canadians hard.
In rural Canada there is a deep hatred of Trudeau. BUt then they do not form the majority of liberals who vote for these fascists. The moraly superior fascist progressives who live in the cities of Canada elect these fascists.Soon Canada will look more like a third world nation that has no middle class. Davos runs federal policy. Thats a done deal.
THe liberals are already announcing what approach they will use against Donald Trump in trade talks should he get elected....they continually induce fear and hatred against President Trump in the press. TRudeau attacked populism in Canada with his illegal treatment of the Freedom Convoy and their political supporters.He still censors theor speech and is in the process of trying ther leaders , they are not allowed to speak freely to the press because of criminal court gag orders.
BUt who knows, maybe Canada will wake up long enough to turf Trudeau and his pack of fascist running dogs. Its up to Canada’s Conservative party.
We need to start blacklisting these woke progressive totalitarians. Make them eat what they themselves dish out.
Trudeau gov’t is a fake gov’t run by a fake PM. Total loser, similar to Newsom of CA.
I hate when people tell us things that we knew were happening at the time are now news 2 years later.
At least it’s in the news & getting wider recognition.
Yes, it was widely perceived by conservatives in Canada that the government was peddling lies about truck convoy and anti-vaxx protests in general. This is only “news” for a few people and they will ignore it so nothing as really changed.
You wonder when it will be “news” that climate change is overhyped nonsense or that the so-called vaccines were dangerous and risky disease spreaders. It will be “on the news” sooner or later and once again, it will be downplayed and ignored, with the comment, “oh well nothing can be done about it now.”
Big Brother had the right intentions.
You beat me to it! These damn governments are now in the business of regularly framing and entrapping their political opponents.
By the time the ruse is learned and is seen for what it is, many have already spent years locked away.
That’s amazing but I can believe it.
Canada has my entire life (Over 60 now) been farther left than the US and I guess they are just keeping with the tradition.
The West in general is falling to it.
As I’ve said here many times conservative are a lot to blame on our own selves. Or rather it was the greatest generation and maybe earliest of the boomers. They decided due to misplaced feeling of personal freedom to allow the left to starting infiltrating or systems.
They infiltrated education, religion , media and government —essentially our “nervous system” you might say. Now our youth is finally adopting the lies of Marxism and it’s became self-perpetuating. Really I don’t see a way out.
As I much as I loved my grandfathers and father they as a collective damned us due to their inaction.
