Being a leader means doing the hard, distasteful stuff before the easy shit. It is amateurish to demean and label people as racist, misogynous, etc, without even looking them in the eye. No matter how much he despises them. He is supposed to be the leader of all Canadians. A simple meeting behind closed doors may have saved a lot of angst and conflict. Whether they agreed or not. He holds meetings with terrorists (kahdr) and wife beaters (boyle) but can't make time for concerned Canadians. I think he made a big mistake vilifiing and disenfranchising his fellow countrymen. No good will come of it. It may end the convoy in Ottawa, but it is not going to end people's resolve. It probably hardened it.
