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....

Taking on the august airs of a central banker, [Carney] wrote: “I know from experience that crises don’t end by themselves.

We’ll know soon.
What it really highlights is the sorry state of the millions of useful idiots whi vote for that pitiful leadership.
