Let's be 100% clear. Something is happening in Ottawa & Coutts, AB, that many Cdns have seen in other parts of the world - the beginnings of an uprising. Uprisings don't need majority support. They need some of what the Convoy has, as the occupation of downtown Ottawa continues.
We can focus on the ugly banners and the desecration of monuments & institutions. They assault the Cdn heart-difficult to watch. But they are pathetic side shows. Canada's police services & possibly our military need to end the occupation of the core area of the nation's capital.
If Cdn authority looks weak & helpless for much longer, this could spread beyond Ottawa & Coutts,AB (U.S.border) No matter how many videos #PierrePoilievre chooses to record, surrounding himself w bubbly Canadians, partying while residents & businesses suffer, this is no party.
I'd love to think that the Convoy will just fizzle on its own. Don't want to see ugly confrontations w police & protesters & at last resort, military assistance, but this is no longer just a peaceful protest. It's a threat public safety.
