The lawyer for the Freedom Convoy shared a sworn affidavit from a man claiming that Enterprise Canada employee Brian Fox was the man seen waving a Nazi flag during the Freedom Convoy.."I can confirm that Brian Fox is the man I met with the Nazi Flag on Jan. 29, 2022," the affidavit from 54-year-old Oshawa, ON. resident Shawn Folkes reads..On Wednesday night, Brendan Miller, lawyer for Freedom Corp., shared with the Western Standard the affidavit from Folkes. .Folkes' statement is the latest piece of evidence suggesting that the Nazi flag incident was staged by the Liberal government to discredit the Freedom Convoy protests. On Tuesday, Miller accused Canadian Security Intelligence Service Director David Vigneault of withholding intelligence that Fox was the man carrying the Nazi flag..READ MORE: Former Toronto Star employee waved Nazi flag, Convoy lawyer claims.In Folkes' affidavit, he says while attending the protest in Ottawa on January 29, he witnessed a man waving a Nazi flag near the Chateau Laurier hotel. He decided to approach the man to ask why he was at the protest.."When I got within five feet of him, he pulled down the flag and stuffed it into his coat. I heard him say that this is what our future flag would be if the government continued on its path," Folkes' affidavit claims. "It made perfect sense to me because only 75 meters away, there were other people with signs showing Trudeau in a SS outfit with a Hitler mustache painted on a "WANTED" poster.".Folkes said the man waving the Nazi flag was "indeed white, but definitely not a white supremacist. He was warning us.".Folkes affidavit was not the first time he spoke about the identity of the Nazi flag-waver. In a video posted to Rumble on Feb. 15, 2022, Folkes told an interviewer that the man was saying "is this what you want the maple leaf to be replaced by?"."He was speaking with a European accent, so I'm thinking he came from a European country that knows about fascism," Folkes says in the video..However, audio from a phone interview Honk Tube recently did with Fox shows he does not have a "European" accent.."I wasn't at the protest. I was in Toronto. You've got the wrong person," Fox says in the video..Folkes said his counsel has shown him several pictures of Fox, and he has been able to confirm that it was the man he saw in Ottawa.."Since the close of the commission's proceeding on Nov. 21, 2022, I reviewed two other pictures of Brian Fox provided to me by counsel. I can further confirm upon review of same, Brian Fox is the man with the Nazi Flag that I met on Jan. 29, 2022. .The Western Standard reached out to Folkes for comment, but has yet to hear back..Enterprise Canada vehemently denied allegations Fox was carrying the Nazi flag. They called the allegations "absurd and despicable," and said they will be "exploring all legal options" in response..They claimed Fox was in Toronto throughout the duration of the Freedom Convoy and nobody from Enterprise Canada was in attendance at the protest "in any capacity."Days ago, Enterprise President Jason Lietaer also told CBC News Fox received death threats due to Miller's "unhinged allegation.""It's absolutely ridiculous. It's having real impacts, I mean the threats ... it's got to stop," Lietaer said.This week, Miller attempted to bring Folkes to testify before the Public Order Emergency Commission, but on Wednesday, Commissioner Paul Rouleau rejected the request, saying Miller's claims have "little foundation in evidence."Rouleau also said it made no sense to call witnesses to test claims Miller is making without evidence. Rouleau also questioned why Miller only raised the issue at the end of the Public Order Emergency Commission's six weeks of public hearings.He also rejected Miller's request for police to do a licence plate search on a truck spotted carrying a Confederate flag at the Ottawa protest."This is, in essence, a fishing expedition," Rouleau wrote.On Thursday, Miller told the Western Standard he will be filing another piece of evidence to the commission."Basically, we have traced all of these reported hateful flags, except for one."
