The bombshell statement was shared by convoy lawyer Keith Wilson during testimony at the Public Order Emergency Commission as well as a subsequent scrum with reporters...

Testifying under oath, Wilson confirmed organizers were receiving information from “sympathetic” police agents throughout the protests in Ottawa last winter. That information was then collated by protesters in Ottawa who were “former law enforcement officers, ex-military, and ex-CSIS personnel”, according to a written summary of an interview with commission lawyers.

Speaking to reporters after his testimony, he described the police leaks as “constant and extensive” and confirmed organizers knew how police were going to act on a day-to-day basis. He said they received leaks from within the OPS, OPP, RCMP, even the secretive Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

Wilson said leaks came from police and government insiders who opposed COVID-19 public health measures such as vaccine mandates. “As a result, when information was known to them, it was regularly filtered down through various protesters and within the leadership group of the Freedom Convoy,” Wilson said....

But it was only five days later, on Feb. 9, that the OPP’s intelligence unit, the Provincial Operations Intelligence Bureau (POIB), began suspecting that confidential information was being leaked....

At that point, POIB head superintendent Pat Morris ordered that a new distribution list for intelligence reports be created that included “only 45 people,” according to a summary of an interview he gave to commission lawyers this summer....

Canada needs to have a look at what's going on in Brazil right now.

MILLIONS of citizens in the streets of many Brazilian states protesting the blatantly obvious crooked election of a corrupt convict.

Not meaning to seem overly critical, as it should've happened here in 2020.

It’s nice to see liberals finally learning about the Sword of Damocles. When you’re ruler, consequences for your bad judgement hang over you like a sword suspended by a thread.

Feeling the presence of that blade can make people actually act in the public interest instead of their own. Horrors!
