National Citizens Inquiry delivers scathing report on Covid measures

Canada's first ever citizen-led inquiry, the National Citizens Inquiry into the country's Covid-19 response, has come to a close, issuing its commissioners' final report this morning. The report exposes harms caused by lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and other Covid interventions by the government, calling on the government to put civil liberties front and centre moving forward. The commissioners said their investigation "unveiled a troubling mix of hubris, ignorance, arrogance, fear, and a shocking disregard for fundamental principles of human rights, medical ethics, and our longstanding democratic and legal foundations." While the inquiry is damning, it has no official status and was boycotted by all invited public officials. Does it matter?
