Looking at the numbers and news stories, it looks increasingly likely that Kenney knew he had to act 2 weeks ago or more... but sat on it "as a favour" to Erin O'Toole. If he somehow didn't know, that's just as bad. How many lives will that cost in the end?

WHAT? #CPC leader Candice Bergen is worried about this? "And lastly I promised caucus I would not do anything and we would not do anything that would make the general public think that we lost our ever-loving minds." #cdnpoli #cpcldr

Hereโ€™s what Iโ€™m waiting to hear: genuine conservatives renouncing the dangerous, extremist (and not-at-all conservative) politics of Kenney, Moe, Ford, Scheer. Mr. Kenney just laid down a very anti-Canadian marker, and itโ€™s time real conservatives called his bluff.

The reason why Poilievre, Bergen, et al have been rightly criticized for bringing donuts to the convoy is because, as elected MPs, their duty (for which they are handsomely paid) is to the country. To its primary institutions. They are not private citizens.

Itโ€™s alarming that Justin Trudeauโ€™s own caucus members are lining up to defend Vice-Admiral Mark Norman against his government. Political interference in court cases by a sitting Prime Minister is absolutely unacceptable and Justin Trudeau must be held accountable.
