Trudeau, in perhaps his meanest public statement to date, scorned them. He dismissed and derogated their motives. He gave the dismissal in his best “I’m-a-real-leader,” determined voice. His “I-really-mean-it-this-time” voice.
He described them as “a small fringe minority.” A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian, someone once said. But this “small fringe minority” can’t be Canadians. They have “unacceptable views.”
“Unacceptable views?” Are we in China now? ...
That statement of his made me genuinely wonder: have those who rule us forgotten the basis of their rule? The leaders of a democracy do not have “excommunicatory” competence. They do not get to declare what is a “fringe minority.”...
There is a voice within this protest, a voice beyond the owner of the hands on the wheel, beyond the cheers coming from the side of the road or from the highway overpasses. A voice coming from the less comfortable in society, the perennially less seen or regarded. It’s the voice of dutiful, working citizens whom the past two years of shutdowns, loss of work or severe reduction of income, all kinds of pressures and anxieties, have worn them down. The truckers are emblems, stand-ins for these Canadians....
This was a low moment in Canadian politics. A deliberately political and, let us be honest, very mean-spirited and calculated characterization of what I am sure is, by far in the main, a movement of honest Canadians caught in a hard time asking their government, and their PM in particular, to give them a just and respectful listen....

But now Trudeau and his Big Media pals are deliberately trying to scare people by muttering darkly along the lines of "I sure hope all these unfamiliar outsiders don't cause any violence in Ottawa"
the leftist smearing of innocent people by the Elite Establishment has already begun ... so in that sense, this is the same treatment as what happened on Jan. 6th in the US
Is this a mainstream paper?
this panty waste needs to be taken to the shed. the Canadian
truckers are “doing” what we should be doing for freedom
Yep, National Post is one of the bigger publishers, started by Conrad Black
But most of the broadcast media are completely in the Liberals’ pockets, and are loyally playing along by now smearing the truckers as “potentially violent”
“Unacceptable views?” Are we in China now? ..
Really? Yall have been for several years now, tho it admittedly is getting worse. Maybe your fearless leaders are moving in for the kill.
Perhaps Trudeau is just frustrated because he can’t get any truckers to date him...
Out of Toronto. Probably one of the biggest circulations in the country.
Storm The Bastille! The Day of Reckoning is slowly approaching for the petty dictators!

Trudope is Canada’s BiteMe.
He’s not running anything, either.
But it’s a great question for Canada’s faceless Deep State.
God protect Dear Leader from the revolutionaries.
May the socialist monsters on both sides of the border meet deserved fates.
now smearing the truckers as “potentially violent”
A great way to have real violence is to dismiss one side as simply illegitimate and to accuse them of violence they haven’t committed or even intended.
The truckers have the upper hand here and I pray theu will use it.
Delivering Any and All products, especially FOOD to Ottawa is UNACCEPTALE and it needs to STOP NOW
Forget it, Jake. It’s Canada.
Politicians burned their Job Description books long ago because it stopped them from putting their boot on the neck of the little people
I’m sure Fidel is proud of his son.
Not much difference in this regard — in fact, in many regards — between this metrosexual “male” in Canada and our severely mentally challenged oldster in America — although FJB’s preferred expression is that he is “losing patience” with those with differing views of reality.
