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 cant 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. Its the product of a temper tantrum.
