Canada must confront the toxic 'Freedom Convoy' head-on

The convoy is, by and large, a fringe group — an unfortunate minority in which a further minority of insidious extremists lurk. They are driven by a generalized rage, misplaced anger about supply chain challenges and antigovernment sentiment. 

Time and time again we learn the lesson that teaches us that rage-soaked antigovernment types can’t be reasoned with. This time around, the convoy has produced an incoherent “memorandum of understanding” premised upon a misunderstanding of government and absurd demands. Of course, the memo should be ignored. It’s the product of a temper tantrum.
