Summary

Mayoral candidate Alex Lawson faces scrutiny over his involvement in the 2022 convoy protest in Ottawa. Despite initially claiming to provide portable toilets for public health reasons, he now admits the protest went too far. His campaign team has denied support, but Lawsons social media activity and the events impact on the citys emergency declarations add complexity to his mayoral run.
