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?

The convoy protest was was the result of frustration caused by a long painful pandemic, it is not normal for Canadians to protest this way. I'm actually surprised it was as peaceful as it was, especially given the way Trudeau handled it (or should we say didn't handle it). Trudeau is always internationally embarrassing, this was especially embarrassing given the way he criticized India for how they dealt with their recent protests.
I disagree that PP was rubbing shoulders with extreme members of that crowd, I never saw any evidence of that.
When I say "legacy media" you know exactly who I'm talking about, it is much simpler then naming all the corrupt biased media outlets accepting money from Trudeau.
