How Justin Trudeau's incompetence revved up a global protest
Fox News
Eric and two of his buddies were in a small gaggle just outside the Parliament building here in Ottawa, steam pouring from their coffee cups like so many 19th century smokestacks. He’s been here since the protest started three weeks ago and he told me, “Candians are losing their democracy and [Prime Minister Justin] Trudeau is trying to turn people against us.”
The inescapable question as one talks to the protesters is why hasn’t Trudeau talked to them? Three weeks ago he had a choice, he could have listened to their concerns, shown some degree of interest in them and in all likelihood stomped out the story. Instead, he made ridiculous claims about them being fringe racists, and stooges for American right-wingers. What he got for this choice was not just a Canadian crisis, but a global one.
