Steven McGuire, here:
... a recent poll suggested that 46% of Canadians have some sympathy with the truckers, even if most disapprove of their methods. That’s higher than Trudeau’s own approval rating. ... The demands of the truckers look more reasonable every day, and Trudeau’s resistance more unnecessary. ... the truckers are rallying against what they view as unacceptable uses of government power. So what does Trudeau do? He asserts even more power. ... what has he done to earn the trust of the Canadians who oppose vaccine mandates? He’s bulldozed over their concerns and insulted them. Now he’s acting as if they’re an existential threat to the country. Like American liberal elites, Trudeau doesn’t realize that he’s part of the crisis of legitimacy in Western democracies.
