There are some good developments and some disappointing developments recently in the Freedom Convoy efforts to regain personal liberty and remove the COVID mandates in Canada.  First, the good development…

The RCMP attempted to get the contracted support of a Western Canada towing company, Inter-Pacific Transporation, in the effort to break up the Alberta truck blockade in/around the border crossing between Coutts, Alberta (CA) and Sweet Grass, Montana (USA).  However, the towing company released a public statement saying they stand with their brothers, the truck drivers:

In a less positive development, the interim voice of the Canadian Conservative Party, Mrs. Candice Bergen, had her first opportunity to confront the Trudeau administration in support of working class Canadians.  She failed miserably.

Instead of taking the issues of vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, covid restrictions and freedom in general to the floor of the Parliament, Ms. Bergen fell into the trap of debating racism with the Trudeau leadership.

As if operating in the 1800s, with diplomatic and political aloof-minded culturalisms, and in an epic display of ineptitude, the inability to articulate an argument, a detached focus toward the issues at hand and general weakness of principle, Ms. Bergen showcased her own incapacity to understand how to avoid the Alinsky approach of her political opponent.

Ms. Bergen’s first effort at representing strong conservative principles and being a pragmatic voice for Middle Canada, failed miserably.  WATCH:

.

If this really is the best voice Canadian conservatives can put forth, the truckers and working class protestors will have a much more difficult fight on their hands.  It is almost too painful to keep watching this level of pathetic weakness.

Mrs. Bergen is trying to please the abuser while framing her arguments and positions on the terms and conditions created by her opposition.

Perhaps the premise of controlled opposition is just a structurally inherent aspect to the system of government, but surely somewhere in Canada there must be a strong conservative politician not suffering from parliamentary Stockholm Syndrome.
