OTTAWA Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney accused the federal government of leaving provinces "holding the bag" to clear "Freedom Convoy" protesters who blockaded a border crossing in southern Alberta, a public inquiry has learned.
Documents released Tuesday by the inquiry looking into the government's decision to invoke the Emergencies Act last winter to deal with the "Freedom Convoy" include text messages between three federal cabinet ministers, including Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc.
