As we have all been watching, dynamics down east have culminated into something that seems to be somewhat of a crossroads as to where we were and where we are going as a country. I certainly am not optimistic that we are headed into better times.
With the passions displayed, this is far from over even if the freedom fighters are removed from Ottawa forcefully.
I believe this time in history is one of the worst days in the life of Canada and all that this country represents.
One of the first things I noticed watching the events of the past few weeks was that absolutely no violence was being displayed on tv, despite the fact that Canadian mainstream media insinuated there was some. My lightning fast mind perceived that if there was violence being displayed by the protesters, it certainly would have been broadcast.
For most of this time, the PM of our country took a backseat to even paying heed to the situation from the onset, being incognito and hiding out. Many people, both sides of the house, believe he personally could have diverted the situation rather than letting it escalate to what it became. He turned a blind eye and deaf ear to the convoy/protesters requests…and did not even try to deescalate the situation that our country faced by agreeing to meet with them.
In life, I have always heard that it is better to resolve differences through communication, whether or not individuals come to the same conclusion or decide to agree-to-disagree.
This seems to be a fairly systemic problem in the political realm across all levels of government. In many leaderships, arrogance and superiority seems to outweigh common respect for the general public. We also saw it last week in the perceivably shameful act in Parliament displayed by the PM as he directly insinuated that all members of the right stand with those that herald swastika’s and the confederate flag – especially a number of them who are Jewish. How erroneous to lump every individual into a pot of presumption because there were rogue individuals that did such. And then he walked out without apologizing like a spoiled brat, with attitude I might add. His arrogant ‘above the law’ attitude was blatantly visible.
PM Trudeau has seemingly proved himself again and again… getting caught in ‘black face’ more than once, in the SNC Lavalin sorted affair being caught for interfering, as well as a number of other controversy’s including the We Charity payouts to his family…Why would we expect anything different now?
The dissension in the country’s population is almost beyond repair.
Where we go from here is your guess as good as mine.
