The mayor of Windsor, Ont., will testify Monday at a public inquiry into the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act to clear ‘Freedom Convoy‘ protesters blockading streets around Parliament Hill and several border crossings.

The scheduled testimony from Drew Dilkens comes as a piece of evidence shows he exchanged texts with Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino, who sought the mayor’s support for “any additional authorities” to keep the Ambassador Bridge open, hours before the legislation was announced.

Protesters decrying COVID-19 mandates moved in on the Ambassador Bridge on the evening of Feb. 7, setting off alarm bells on both sides of the Windsor-Detroit link - the busiest border crossing between Canada and the U.S.

The inquiry is investigating the events leading up to the federal government’s emergency declaration Feb. 14, weeks into demonstrations that had gridlocked downtown Ottawa and spilled into border blockades elsewhere.
