I don't understand why they would need to save their own hides. Surely, there's not going to be any accountability, right?
At the time, a Canadian user said: there's going to be an inquiry, and the government is screwed. I said: an INQUIRY? You mean a cover-up. I'm glad if I was wrong.
It was definitely meant to be a cover-up. They even selected a Liberal donor as the presiding judge. But for some reason they decided to open the proceedings to the public, maybe because they thought they could convince everyone how evil the Convoy protesters were. So now people are watching as CSIS and now the OPP have both said they knew the protesters weren't who Trudeau kept saying they were.
Well, the inquiry into the Emergencies Act had to take place because the Act itself says there needs to be a public inquiry within a year of the Act being invoked. I don't know if they had to actually broadcast it or if it was a choice, but it's certainly making the government look as incompetent as they really are. They're on the bad end of all of the optics so far.

So the same logic that thought the Jan 6th hearings would be a good idea?

There will be zero accountability for any of this, anywhere, ever.
