In the absence of genuine grievances, it would be impossible to convince thousands of people to act-people who are not, I should add, in the professional protesting class that forms an entire subset of Canadian society.
It's not as though Canadians are unused to organized protests.
To the contrary, they have become quite used to preferred protesters, such as "Indigenous peoples," occupying things-including people's houses-and the government doing essentially nothing.
Trudeau himself has boasted of his participation in protests which suit officially approved views, such as Canada's copycat Black Lives Matter disruptions which, if possible, were even more inane than their American counterparts.
The revulsion of the elites stems from the fact that, having encouraged a culture of near-permanent protest, the protesting has now metastasized, and the folks who this week control the streets of Ottawa simply don't travel in bien-pensant.
Jim Watson, the marionette mayor of Ottawa, has informed the protesters that they have already "Worn out their welcome" and complains that hinterland protesters take an enormous toll on people in the prosperous capital.
A notable exception to the mendacity and pusillanimity of those in the Canadian opinion-forming classes is Conservative Member of Parliament Leslyn Lewis, who stood with the protesters.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
