No. It was violent, obnoxious, populist, carried water for hateful messaging, and cost taxpaying Canadians millions of dollars. The majority of Canadians see it this way, and the polls about convoy support have shown that. The federal government let the City of Ottawa manage its own affairs, and when that failed, they called the Emergencies Act. And literally 99.9% of Canadians were unaffected by him doing so.
We also suffered international embarrassment from those jackasses holding Ottawa hostage. It did nothing to unite Canadians. In fact, it probably singled out and marginalized the Convoy crowd, with our court systems and law enforcement now having to follow up with these idiots.
PP is also rubbing shoulders with the extreme members of that convoy crowd. And Canadian see that plain as day.
And stop with this "legacy media" or "woke media" or whatever populists want to spin to make it sounds like you have some sort of "upper edge" on media reporting, because the Rebel/Post Millennial/True North are ultra right-wing rags that have as much credibility as screaming two year-olds with poop coming out of their diapers. Blue Lives Matter, right?
