The inquiry into the invocation of the emergencies act found that it was justified, although not without problems. Those problems don’t seem to have been in any way related to the freezing of accounts.
My opinion is that he’s got, as we old-timers like to say, a tough row to hoe. (Or a snowball’s chance in hell; take your pick.)
Ok, now I’m confused, the article you linked says:

And then this article says:
Anyone out there want to loop me in?
The Public Order Emergency Commission, was a public inquiry created by the Liberal government and Trudeau appointed a Justice to lead the commission. This commission found that the invocation of the emergency act was justified.
However, later there was a federal court that found that it was unjustified.
What’s the right answer? I don’t know, but I would think that the commission took a much more thorough look. We probably won’t have a single answer unless it goes to the Supreme Court.
What the hell? Journalism really has disappeared. Why isn’t there a single story from a major outlet that includes both results, explaining the differences and implications?
Thanks for the update.
The federal court recently found that it was unjustified, and I bet that’s the basis for this lawsuit
