Instead of dealing with these truckers and the issues that propelled them across the country in a serious way, the prime minister attacked them en route as a “small fringe minority” who hold “unacceptable views.” There is no justification for any of this and polls show the truckers represent approximately as many Canadians as the number who voted for this government in September....
In fact, they are just trying to avoid two weeks of quarantine when crossing the border, not overthrow the government. Taking on the august airs of a central banker, [Carney] wrote: “I know from experience that crises don’t end by themselves. You can’t spin your way out of failure.” That is particularly apposite coming from someone who was a total failure as the governor of the Bank of England when he became a mindless parrot of the Cameron government in claiming that Britain would be devastated if it approved Brexit ...
These are highly skilled men with lonely and challenging jobs performing a vital national function. The truckers’ procession across the country was good-natured and contained no hints of violence or sociopathic or bigoted motives ...
Docile and invertebrate opposition generally assures complacent, incompetent and abusive government. That has been Canada’s fate....
The appropriate official response, apart from immediately removing the most objectionable anti-COVID policies, would have been to invite a delegation of the truckers to meet with the prime minister and appropriate members of his government to discuss their grievances. The defamation and the attempt to incite public hostility against them was contemptible demagogy. ....
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has needlessly escalated the state of anger and division in the country and has disserved everyone....

yet all this nonsense and division was predictable, because an immature non-leader was put in a position of leadership

That such an incompetent is prime minister is great for those opposing his ideas.
He will encourage people to oppose vaccine mandates for a very long time.
Sure would be interesting to know who winds up the boy child “leader”. I just don’t think he’s smart.....not even a little. Which he makes up for with childish arrogance and bursts of temper.
It was an awful speech, as bad as Biden smearing Americans in his speech last month.
The liberals caved to a fringe group of homosexuals. The liberals caved to a fringe group of mentally ill transexuals. The liberals caved to fringe BLM terrorists. But truckers... When actual productive members of society needed for civilization to run (truckers) it is the most dangerous racist insurrection in history because some organic soy beans may not make it to Whole Foods.
You mean Catro's bastard.
One guess...Putin excluded.
Black Face Castro is headed for disaster.
The support for the Freedom Convoy 2022 continues to grow.
Huge crowds are there in a festive holiday atmosphere.
Mandate Freedom.
People are finally figuring out the the Leftists were NEVER on the side of the “workers”.
Only to use them.
What is the general attitude towards the government and its actions?
Are they pushing more people into supporting the convoy now that they have essentially exposed who they are and what they are about?
What is support for the government doing at the grassroots level?
He is a wordsmith, a rare and much missed breed.
A recent survey said 54% of people sympathized with the truckers’ complaints ... but most don’t support roadblocks
Canadian Big Media is like Pravda, they back the Government 100%
I am not sure what else the truckers could do to to get someone ‘s attention.
No matter what they did, be it convoys, blocking roads, refusing to deliver goods, all would be condemned. That basically takes an effective means of protesting out of their hands.
If they all parked their trucks at home for a few weeks it would get everyone’s attention.
You can do it for a short while, to make your point ...
like CB says, this could have been defused early on ... but Justin preferred to smear & scapegoat, thereby squashing any chance he could ever meet with them
deliberately cutting off all your available escape routes from a crisis situation ... that’s stupid & lousy leadership, in the military AND in politics
that’s Justin Trudeau!
We have an octogenarian president who has used his smart-ass mouth for 50 years to deflect from his own low IQ
Same childish arrogance and bursts of temper
That IS a powerful summation valid for any society.
It’s also true of British society, and the glaring case where the unquestioning obedience to the pompous incompetents was overthrown is...the United States.
That turned out pretty well for a long time.Remains to be seen if it goes on that way.
And the other 46% who don’t agree...do they plan to drive to Saskatchewan to pick up their own wheat and take it to mill so they can have bread?
Or do they think that the truckers should be compelled to do so at gunpoint in order to prop up their urban lifestyle?
God bless these brave patriots! May the 'Freedom Convoy' grow worldwide!
