The real failure is Doug Ford who allowed the protest to go wild. Trudeau wanted a swift resolution and he got it. It may be unconstitutional but Trudeau didn't want another October crisis.

Well yea, they had many many options such as TELLING the police to do their job.

It looks different when you're this far away from people pouring the gasoline into your letter slots.

Again though, that's something the police should of been dealing with. The issue is they didn't want to because probably half of them believed in the convoy. We wouldn't of needed the act if we had forced them to enforce the rules.

Tell that to Doug Ford, the OPP, the Ottawa police who should have done something for 3 weeks. They did nothing and Trudeau had to use federal powers to deal with a provincial and Municipal problem.
