Yes, Blackface is dictating-from-home
However, this situation puts him in a bind ... most governments around the World can now see the Covid crisis is winding down, and are starting to re-open
But if Justin does that now, it would look like the Truck convoy was the game-changer ... so they would get the credit
And Justin can’t stand that ... he’s invested a lot of political capital portraying them as terrorists, so he can’t give them any kind of “win” (plus he thinks he’s the only genius around)
you watch - as long as the Freedom Convoy stays in Ottawa, Health Canada and CHO Dr. Theresa Tam will refuse to approve any easing of restrictions
the fun starts when the Provinces of Alberta and Ontario (and maybe Sask. and BC) decide to open up on their own ... in Canada, Health is a Provincial responsibility, so there’s nothing Justin can do

Brandeau really has a problem. There is no identifiable group that has come out in support of him... not even in the medical community and fact the nurses are against him. So far the premiers haven’t really cracked even though we saw the premier of Saskatchewan call for backing off on mandatory vaccinations at the border for truckers.
What will be the most interesting to watch is what Kenney in Alberta does.... there have been negotiations going on where the issue is whether the blockade can be lifted for one lane at the Coutts border crossing as a sign of ‘good faith’. The comments at Rebel Media are fairly united on this that all mandates have to be lifted first. https://www.rebelnews.com/rural_alberta_mlas_set_to_discuss_lifting_all_mandates However, I see that the National Post just reported that in fact they’ve just reached an agreement to open one lane in each direction...

Premier Ford in Ontario has been mysteriously quiet... Ottawa may be Canada’s capitol but it is in Ontario. The province was already on track to lift some restrictions soon but not much is being said about the truckers.
I see that the federal Conservatives have just ousted O’Toole as their leader after a backbench revolt that called for a leadership vote. I wonder if there might be a few backbencher Liberals who might be wondering about a break from Brandeau....
Last but not least are the truckers who have been amazing to watch.....holding a steady as it goes grip on the wheel and steely eyed gaze down the road. They have repeatedly said that this goes way beyond just vax mandate for drivers crossing the border. I suspect it is those part of the demands from people way smarter than Brandeau that is causing him the most grief. He really is a well reinforced box....
