In this episode of Dialogue Over Division, we sit down with Ray McGinnis, an author, educator, and commentator known for his critical examinations of government narratives. Ray has spent years exploring issues of government transparency and public accountability. His books, “Unanswered Questions: What the September Eleventh Families Asked and the 9/11 Commission Ignored” and “Unjustified: The Freedom Convoy, The Emergencies Act, And The Inquiry That Got It Wrong,” scrutinize official investigations and challenge the narratives surrounding pivotal historical events.
Together, Eva and Ray discuss the Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC) and its striking parallels to the 9/11 Commission. Ray discusses how the evidence presented at the POEC demonstrated that Freedom Convoy participants remained peaceful, yet the government still invoked the Emergencies Act. They explore the federal court ruling that found the government’s actions to be overreach, the political influences in the Coutts trials, and the broader implications for Canada’s judiciary and democratic institutions. From media portrayals of the Freedom Convoy to the societal impact of government responses to protest movements, this conversation raises crucial questions about accountability, justice, and the integrity of government investigations and actions.
At a time when trust in institutions is being challenged, questioning official narratives and demanding transparency isn’t just important—it’s necessary. If governments can so easily overstep their authority without consequence, what does that mean for the future of democracy? Join us for this discussion that underscores the role of citizens in holding governments to account and ensuring our fundamental freedoms are protected.
